When speaking about the music, the Fifth D's music is phenomenal and timeless. What's also phenomenal and timeless is the beauty of both of the ladies. Everyone's always talking about how beautiful Mrs Mccoo is which I completely agree she is. She was really the main reason I watched Solid Gold every week as a kid. That being said, I personally find Florence just as beautiful. I liked how she sort of got the spotlight here. Such a gorgeous lady. She was an absolute knock out in my book !
Sinatra preferred Florence as do I. Apparently from what I've been reading and watching, Florence was getting most of the manly attention back in the day. They were both knockouts.
More talent and personality in five singers than any other American singing group of their day. Real singers who could truly make music worth listening to!
I was a little kid in the psychedelic 70's. I grew up watching the Flip Wilson Show, the Ed Sullivan Show, the Red. Skeleton Show, the Carol Burnett Show, Rowan and Martin's Laugh In Sock It To Me, and many others. How I sure miss that era.
I used to watch The Flip Wilson Show as a kid.He always had great guests on his program.This clip shows a side of the 5th Dimension viewers rarely experienced on network TV.As well as being a very talented group,they seem like they would be fun to hang with.
The Flip Wilson Show was a show that all of us looked forward to watching to see the how his invited guest would play into his comedy skits specially when Geraldine was out.
Believe it or not, about 25 years ago I was riding a shuttle bus between the Dorado Hilton and Dorado Beach Hotels, and I saw a familiar face. I asked, "Excuse me....are you Flip Wilson"? He say, "Yes". I said, "I loved your show....never missed it". He said, "Thanks". Nobody on the bus even blinked. He's looked great...and seamed a little surprised.
Total-Class, 2 gorgeous , talented ladies, proud, smart, & when they sang, it was always the very best. I was in love with Marilyn from the very start : STILL one of the most talented, gorgeous ladies of all-time. -------The 5D were the very best of the 60's & 70's ! ------------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
Not just a great singer; what a sexy speaking voice Florence has. I love Marilyn like the rest of them, but my eyes are always on Florence because when she sings and dances in the way only Ms. LaRue knows how, her beautiful eyes and dazzling smile light up the screen.
I always thought that the 5th Dimensions were a cool group beautiful people counting singers and especially Florence and Marilyn McCoo wow wow sexy ladies with class right next to the Supremes.
I love them. Unfortunately I was only 2 when they released Up Up And Away 🙁. But all the same, I grew up hearing their music 😊. I wish I had a time machine sometimes.
The 5th dimension. Great segment here. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to the Flip Wilson Show. I always hoped for the Geraldine character. I used to like to mimic him and his voice when he was Geraldine. I did it pretty good too.
That story they told about their start is pretty much the truth . They were with Motown briefly and Motown had Billy Davis singing lead and the others in background . They sounded similar to the Four Tops with that particular song.
marylin and bill always like my poppa and mama, they sing and doing the jerk chicken they kiss in the picnic, preach in the chapel... minus billy,LOL! they looked powdered fresh cute included ng marylin with cute fine self.
I found Flip Wilson to be obnoxious back in the day. He seems comic, but he truly was a spiteful person. The Fifth Dimension was far better than this. They were a CLASS act.

Agreed, I personally liked Florence over Marilyn, both are stunning ladies though, one of my all time favorite groups👍✌️

Florence was sassy /sexy . Still is of course !

I’m a child of the 70’s I grew up with these shows too and miss them.

The best looking black pop group in history. They were stunning.
Florence was so beautiful!
She's in her seventies now and see if still beautiful
Yes Florence Larue was so beautiful

I grew up listening to the 5th Dimension! I still love these guys!!!

One less bell to answer, such a haunting sound track...always made my cry but such a great arrangement.
Flip Wilson used to just unreal totally crack me up when I watched his show as a kid
The Dimension
They always class act !
Florence is underrated!
When I was a kid I had a crush on both of those women. Great taste for a 12-year-old.

He may be my dad's age but Lamont was so handsome back in the day.
I was fortunate enough to see this live back in 72' when I was 12 years old.

I never realized that LaMonte is a full head taller than everybody else in the group until I saw this clip!
I always thought that the 5th Dimensions were a cool group beautiful people counting singers and especially Florence and Marilyn McCoo wow wow sexy ladies with class right next to the Supremes.
Yes, Rhett Dimension were very classy and good looking group.
Beautiful. Flip Wilson was the best
I know! Flip was crazy! Loved Flip.
I saw3 them live back in 1974...The show was amazing.
the Flip Wilson show is one of the first tv shows i recall watching. i was 3 when this aired.
They were in a (high ) class of their own and refused to be labelled . At the time some thought that was not "cool" but it sure was !
I love them. Unfortunately I was only 2 when they released Up Up And Away 🙁. But all the same, I grew up hearing their music 😊.

They were the best!
R.I.P. Flip Wilson and
Ron Townson.
I have always loved them and not because I share Marilyn's name. They were always classy.
Love this Amazing group since I can remember. Thanks 5th Dimension!!
Flip was the absolute BEST comic of that era / All due respect to Pryor and Cosby
This was on my Grandmother’s Birthday 🥳 50 years ago. I love you forever Grandmama.
“I was at my office every morning on Wilshire blvd” “ you mean the post office” 😂😂
It was still an office. 🤣🤣🤣
Flip wish you were still alive today
Geraldine priceless
Great video. Flip does a super part, while the group plays it up beautifully.
ZERO dislikes. The 5th Dimension are so monumental.
Haha, Ron and Florence had great chemistry together....
I plead the 5th....Dimension! love e'm!
Florence and Marilyn were soooooooo gorgeous!
The Big Man - Ron Townsend - was the best.
Ron Townson.
Rip RonTownson

I was coming out from the womb of my mom when this show was aired

...those teenagers were probably the former Friends of Distinction who Lamont McLemore and Marilyn McCoo used to sing with.
Lemonte did become a professional photogapher. For Ebony Magazine. I want to see some of his best photos.
I love them!!!!

What is the name of the song they sang?
They all are beautiful and talented, but I won't be selfish and point out Marilyn...oops I did
100% love
FLIP WILSON GO PUT ON A DRESS AND CRY ABOUT KILLER AND GET THE HELL ON!!! WHO IS YOU TO TALK TO THE FIFTH DIMENSION LIKE THAT!!???
I found Flip Wilson to be obnoxious back in the day. He seems comic, but he truly was a spiteful person. The Fifth Dimension was far better than this. They were a CLASS act.
When black people actually sang and women had no graffiti on themselves ..
Not funny..
It Was funny better than the trash today u probably prefer that
