- The 5th Dimension is an American popular music vocal group, whose repertoire includes pop, R&B, soul, jazz, light opera and Broadway-the melange was coined as "Champagne Soul."
Formed as The Versatiles in late 1965, the group changed its name to the hipper "The 5th Dimension" by 1966. They became well-known during the late 1960s and early 1970s for their popular hits: "Up, Up and Away", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Medley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)", "Wedding Bell Blues", "Never My Love", "One Less Bell to Answer", "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All", and The Magic Garden LP.
The five original members were Billy Davis Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo, Lamonte McLemore, and Ronald Townson. They have recorded for several labels over their long careers. Their first work appeared on the Soul City label, which was started by Imperial Records/United Artists Records recording artist Johnny Rivers. The group later recorded for Bell/Arista Records, ABC Records, and Motown Records.
Some of the songwriters popularized by the 5th Dimension went on to careers of their own, especially Ashford & Simpson, who wrote "California Soul". The group is also notable for having more success with the songs of Laura Nyro than Nyro did herself, particularly with "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", "Wedding Bell Blues", "Blowin' Away", and "Save the Country". The group also recorded songs by well-known songwriters such as "One Less Bell to Answer", written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and the songs and music of Jimmy Webb, who wrote their hit "Up, Up and Away." The group recorded an album composed almost entirely of Webb songs called The Magic Garden.
The 5th Dimension's famed producer, Bones Howe, used Bob Alcivar as the singers' vocal arranger, as well as The Wrecking Crew, a renowned group of studio musicians including drummer Hal Blaine, for their recording sessions.
I first heard a song of the 5th Dimension when I was 7 years old in Germany where I was born. Because of them I learned English which influenced my whole life. Thanks girls and guys!
The 5th Dimension is a State of Mind.
Florence absolutely proves she is in a league with Marilyn.
Flo is giving it 120% as per usual
❤️🌈🌈🎶🌞
I'm loving Florence in this concert., but these songs were cranked up a little too fast.
Great show!!!
Florence!!!! Wooooowwwww
Great group!!!!!!
Anybody listening in 2021?

Yes, still many years ago..The backup vocals sounded good (though the MacArthur's Park cover seems a bit out-of-reach), Florence was looking great, and Florence isn't a McCoo, but I'm just wondering why her vocal timing was off so much on "One Less Egg to Fry".. but I guess were have to just assume this is the re carnation of the early band. I would have liked have heard them do a cover of "Little Green Apples"
💎💎💎💎💎
I love Florence's rendition of Never My Love. And this may be weird but I prefer the 5th Dimension with Michael Procter and the other lady rather than the originals with Billy and Marilyn
Had to turn this off Florence is not Marilyn never.
As you said earlier. Zzz
Florence must’ve spent a lot of time in the gym. She’s got a great voice as well, as a live performance this is good, she was always in Marilyn’s shadow but she’s good in her her own right.
Flo always had a sweet voice..don't know the two new people
She's beautiful!! God, I'd kill to look like that!
RTA6226 ...😂 you look ok to me
She still look good same as Marilyn
she also wrote and performed the song this is your life with 5th deminsion
Florence sounds great. Wow!
Always loved to see Florence Perform. The curves, the energy. So beautiful in the shadow of the Marilyn McCool.
Flo is giving it 120% as per usual
❤️🌈🌈🎶🌞
Florence was always my favorite!👍👏
I NEVER Get Tired of Hearing the Songs From This Group.....The Fifth Dimension Will ALWAYS Be My All Time Favorite Soul Group.
Me too!!
The Fifth Dimensions, A Real blast from the Past 😀
Not the 5th Dimension I loved.
No Marilyn, no Billy, no dice. 👎
FLorence ain't no Marilyn....but Florence does not have to be. She can headline any group and kick it.... just absolutely beautiful all that talent hiding for all those years. Well when she came out she came OUT.
The audience looks and sounds like a bunch of sleeping fish. This might be 3 parts of the 5th dimension but i cant take therm as The 5th Dimension
Florence wrote a lot of their songs and founded the group.
What a great group the fifth demension we're they had so much talent, good clean music, during a time of so many problems in the world, plus those two beautiful ladies, they had the looks and voices.
5th Dimension! Marilyn McCoo and the gang, One less bell tp.Answer. Music has never been the same
Marilyn had her weekly Solid Gold tv show gig during this time. She probably wasn't available to travel with the group. I've also read that doing Solid Gold was very
taxing and stressful for her.
Marilyn and her huband Billy Davis JR has left The fifth Dimension 12 years before this performance had taken place.
She was no Dionne Warwick that's why she was replaced by Dionne Warwick
The original 5D would reform just four years after this for a successful tour and then got together for reunion tours regularly throughout the 1990s. It was great that they made their peace at last.
@@vaughnjohnson6969 WHAT?? Marilyn replaced Dionne. Get it right!
I want more Florence.
IMO, Florence was always a few notches above Marilyn voice-wise and beauty-wise. Apparently the public mostly had it the other way around.
gussy You're listening with you eyes. She's off key more than once.
@@davidoickle1778, yes, but this is live. Have you ever tried dancing and singing onstage with a live band behind you? These are not prerecorded tracks.
I am one of those but love them both ❤️
Cant agree.Marilyn was special.theres no doubt.the band is ok.change is always gonna happen.they had to do what they had to do to keep it going
I regard the Jimmy Webb-penned This Is Your Life as Flo's tour de force that comfortably sits alongside Marilyn's greatest hour (One Less Bell to Answer, also from the Portrait album). Does anyone know if Flo sings this on tour?
I just remember some Friends that turned me on to this music in 1991, and they had older harder to find cassettes, Hahahahahahahaha 😀!!!
Everyone talks about Marilyn McCoo being so beautiful. Why doesn't anyone talk about Florence?
Florence is no Marilyn, but she does a better job on One Less Bell To Answer than I thought she would. Good job!
Florence is very beautiful , but her voice is too deep to sing lead vocal.
Who ever they may have to sing Marylin part is ever going to sound like her. She has a nice voice. I personally don't expect her to sound like Marylin.
Florence just has a richer, darker and heavier voice than Marilyn.
She needs songs specifically tailored to her voice - she can't just sing anything with her type of range.
I like the Lips of florence larue
@@niconava9643 Oh yes me too!
Excellent
No Marilyn or Billy but great job.
Tempo a bit fast at times but live shows do that on medleys.
Elvis raced through his hits.
Florence is good, there's nothing like the original, Marliyn is a classic
😍
Wow !!! 🧡❤️💛💚❤️
Great
i hate that guy that should be me but i wouldve been all red faced and embarased
I think Florence did very well!! And the rest of the originals were holding it down.. Along with the newer members!!
Of course it's nothing like all the original members together.. But time brings on a change.. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis play all around the world.. Just to both of them and they sing these songs and you still miss the other members even when you see them perform..
Four years after this bravado performance the original 5D would reunite for a sellout tour to great reviews. Flo herself said at the time of their reunion that great as the replacements always were it was never the same as when the original 5D performed together. And great as all 5 were individually, collectively they were always greater than the sum of their parts.
These are brilliant, but Marilyn was the icing on the cake.
Florence is good too
@@bernie1740 Agree, love her voice also.
HA! You can have a delicious cake with no icing! But.. try eating just icing and no cake. You will get tired and it will make you sick! They BOTH brought something specially individual and great to that group 😊👏
😂 WoW !
Shame on Florence !
I almost thought it was Diana Ross and the
5th Dimensions. !
I guess after playing 2nd Fiddle to Marilyn all those years ! It was never going to happen Again. !
Florence made sure she was the only one shinning ! The other lady should have had some Sprinkles 😂 on her costume too ! 😂
Florence couldn't wait till the day that Marilyn left. She had been planning for this moment for a long time.
All kidding aside, Florence is a gorgeous black diamond.
Excelente performance de la 5ta Dimensión
Marilyn McCoo, Florence is not. How many clunkers did Florence hit in the first song? Too many to count. There was really something missing in this performance.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Florence doesnt have marilyn mccoo range or talent.
This was hard to watch...and,to listen to. Apologies.
I agree.
I think Florence had two Starbucks right before the show.
A year later and your still the only 4 haters
@@bbarns6431 ,on the contrary...I love The 5th Dimension...but,everyone has an occasional "off night". It's only an opinion. Don't take it personal. Don't be so sensitive.
Only word I have to say is:
CLASS.
