Chorus:
Bill, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May (eyes of May)
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day (wedding day)
I was on your side, Bill, when you were losing
I'd never scheme or lie, Bill, there's been no fooling
But kisses and love won't carry me till you marry me Bill

The best music ever. Thanks Gilmore girls for this.
i got it from my girl
I got it from Glee
That wedding episode made me cry! Except the part where all that drama happened lmao
@@analisezummo2631 😘😘😘😘😘
Omg yes!!
Not often you hear a beautiful woman sing out for a man to marry her. Those days are gone.
the writer of the song Laura Nyro was frustrated, in waiting for her boyfriend to propose to her. so, she wrote wedding bell blues. she was not desperate to get married, for the sake of getting married.
She's no different. Though, to be fair, they are still together.
53 years later and Marilyn and Billy are still married. They'll last forever.
is that when this song came out?
@@rickbower1598 This song was released in September 1969 and sat atop the 'Billboard Charts' for three weeks in November 1969. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., both members of 'The 5th Dimension', were married on Saturday, July 26, 1969. Also on that day Tom Seaver out-pitched Tony Cloninger 3 to 2 for his 15th win, bringing the 'Miracle Mets' within 5 games of the Chicago Clubs for the 'National League's Eastern Division' championship.
No. They will die. lol
We should all be so lucky.
Aww that's wonderful that their still together.
Wedding Bell Blues was recorded on July 26, 1969, which was the day of Billy Davis Jr. and Marylin McCoo’s wedding
i had turned three years old in 69
It just so happens to be the 26th of July today as I am reading your comment. Today must be the 55 year anniversary of the recording of this song, as well as the Emerald jubilee of Billy Davis Jnr. and Marilyn McCoo's wedding. And they are still a married couple to this very day.
Bill was smart enough to marry Marilyn, and 53 years later they are still married. God bless 'em and thanks to them for the great music.
Tremendous
Marilyn MCcoo has the voice of an
Angel.
Please give Laura Nyro mad respect she is the writer RIP
She was a force - an amazing sing writer of so many classics
Absolutely ❤❤
When Marilyn sings “I love you sooooo…I always will’ and dips the note at the end of ‘so’? Sheer pleasure. What a great, great singer.
Listening to that part makes me feel like I'm riding a rollercoaster. I suppose that could be a metaphor of love, somehow.
@@inessa5923 yes…perhaps.
They don’t make them like her no more .
and the musicians play huge part as well, especially the pianist
She was wonderful this group was one of the few black groups that made it with a white sound they replaced the Mamas and the Papas(when they faded)
This song is so beautiful and timeless, when it came out out I was dating the most wonderful woman ever. Now 52 years later I’m still married to her.❤
From their wedding in 1969 Marilyn and Billy Jr. still have greater love after 54 years together a lot of great chemistry
Who is listening to this in July 2024? 😀🎉
Me
And .... August ... and forever!!
Underrated band
It's my theme song!
Someone who knows great music and was 12 when it was released
The movie “My Girl” brought me here and I had no idea The 5th Dimension and Marilyn sang this! Wow!!!
Thank God for Laura Nyro who wrote (and recorded) all of this wonderful music !!
Amen to that the 5th dimension was my introduction to Laura Nyro a brilliant songwriter musician that was also blessed with a beautiful voice
Amen...May she rest in Peace ❤
Laura Nyro ❤
@@williamagopian1242 Laura Nyro is the female Jimmy Webb. She helped launched the careers of a lot of other acts. They both put the Fifth Dimension into the stratosphere.
played at my son Bill's wedding last week
Marilyn`s clear enunciation of every single word is just sublime. 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Exactly👍👍
It sure is.
I’m here cause of my parents record collection
This song gets stuck in my head at least once a week.
Great tune to have in your head everyday ...love this shit lol
Exactly! It’s such a great song and Marilyn’s voice is amazing. I love that they are still married almost 50 years later!
@@mikaharmon5485 It's actually 53 years they've been married. God bless 'em.
I love this song, even though it's before my time , its a catchy song
its so good
Thank you Gilmore Girls
Never a purer voice than Madame McCoo's.
So pure and so good.
I must agree. A lot of similarities to Spanky & Our Gang but Marilyn can't blow out the rest up the band when she hooks into one, which is a good thing.
"In your voice I hear a choir of carousels." Brilliant.
Bill, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day
I was on your side Bill when you were loosin'
I never scheme or lie Bill, there's been no foolin'
But kisses and love won't carry me till you marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels
Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells
I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely
I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only
But kisses and love won't carry me til you marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart I take no bows
But Bill you're never gonna take those wedding vows
Oh, come on Bill
Oh, come on Bill
Come on and marry me Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Please marry me Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Marry me Bill
Who remembers Vada singing this to a picture of her teacher in My Girl?
love this song! I'm 71 now, reminds me of good times,
Me too -- and I am 85 -- according to the calendar -- but I've decided it lies!!! I just loved ALL their music.
This is the music I grew up on, and music my mom grew up on as well. My grandma was an immigrant from Ireland and the 5th Dimension was her favorite band. At the end of her life when she was dying of dementia she couldn't remember me or any of her kids, but she sure remembered every lyric to this song .
Dementia/Alzheimer’s sucks. Long may your grandma’s memory live. Make sure your family passes on her love for music, and her memory will never truly be gone.
The lady has some pipes...
Wow, Marilyn McCoo is and was such a fabulous talent.
They are still performing together! ❤❤
McCoo ... one of the clearest smoothest voices ever. Something about a clear concise voice that takes a song to the next level. Patsy Kline and Sinatra could do that as well. Every word is easy to understand and is silky smooth. Lovely stuff.
It's easy to see and to say that music today doesn't (cannot) match the gorgeous artistry of these old songs. As Barbara so nicely put it in her comment, "today's noise."
Today's music? You mean "noise" I can't seem to find any melody.
My sisters and I used to call this “Cindy’s Song”, because my brother Bill asked a girl he met on vacation to the prom! Cindy came and stayed with us, and everything. She wore palazzo pants that night… I thought she was SO cool.
Thank you, Laura Nyro.
Written by Laura Nyro, backing by the Wrecking Crew USA No.1 in November 1969. Nyro sang it at Monterey Pop in July 1967 aged 19 backed by the Wrecking Crew, in between the Byrds and Jefferson Airplane.
The Wrecking Crew is a fallacy. Union Musicians.
Great Group, Their Songs Will Live Forever.
It's almost like this song was written by Laura Nyro for Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. Though it wasn't, the Fifth Dimension made it their own and I think Bill did marry Marilyn later!
Laura Nyro! Perfection ❤️ 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
This is a cover of her song down even to the arrangement. McCoo had a great voice but Nyro’s version is more soulful and fuller, especially the intro and extro
@@Charon58 Do you know who the musicians on this were?
@@mjh5437 I believe it’s lastly The Wrecking Crew-they played on a lot of 5th Dimension records.
1969 was a great year for music and the golden age of top 40 am radio
I have just listened for it watching Gilmore Girls....amazing
The clarity and articulation of McCoo's voice is just otherworldly and sublime.
The 5th Dimension are part of the soundtrack of my youth.
I love this version of this song, but let's not forget the great Laura Nyro, who wrote this song and so many others, too.
Since I was a boy and heard the piano intro and Marilyn's superb vocal, I was jealous of Billy Davis
Always loved this song
Their very best song, tied with "Aquarius" and one of 1969's finest. Released on September 13, 1969, reaching #1 on November 8.
I was a 5 year old, kindergarten kid when this came out. I do remember this song from back then
There's never been a more beautiful human being on this earth than Marilyn McCoo.
I always thought she was so pretty.
Whitney?
She has an enchanting smile.
Ha. I will go along with that. She and Karen Carpenter for me.
Thank you Vada Sultenfuss! 💘
😌❤️🎶
Yessssss ❤
Best pop song ever
Of course. Look who wrote it
Thank Laura nyro
Another Laura Nyro classic. Always reminded me of Stony End, with that distinct piano sound, also penned by Laura.
My husband Bill. I miss him so much
My mom played the crap out of this album, Awesome!
Oh my Lawd... Marilyn is my one and only heartthrob of all time...
Sooo remember this song around 68? on holidays at the beach as a 12 yo surfing....ahhhh where have those sweet days gone...alas you missed out kiddies.....it was soooo chillllllll.......
It was '69
Wow Marilyn looks timeless and ageless!!! Wow her voice was and is beautiful. You go girl 👌. Marilyn thank you. I've always looked up to you. May god bless you and your family.
Everyone-young and old-knew this song in 1969. Simply the best.
Happy Birthday Billy Davis Jr. born on June 26, 1938. He is an American musician, best known as a member of the 5th Dimension. Along with his wife Marilyn McCoo, he had hit records during 1976 and 1977 with "I Hope We Get to Love in Time", "Your Love", and "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)". Davis and McCoo were married in 1969. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Davis_Jr.
Now it's 52 years with Bill and their anniversary
USA No.1 song in November 1969. At the same time covers of other Laura Nyro songs were at No.2 And When I Die, and No.10 Eli's Comin'. Nyro was a genius singer/ songwriter.
When she WAS only 19 years old. INCREDIBLE
I love this Song ))
Laura Nyro ❤
Thanks Laura nyro
Thank you, My Girl, for this gem! 💎
I had this 45 as a kid in 1969 at age nine. One of those 45s you never forget, like "Reach Out of the Darkness" and the Cowsills' big hit about flowers in her hair, the flower girl. What an era it was. The Fifth Dimension were so huuge, for good reason. And to think that Laura Nyro was so young when she wrote this masterpiece. The arrangement here for the Fifth Dimension version is as good as it gets.
This is one of the most underrated groups of all time. We just love to hear and see their love for each other,play out on the stage,in song. ❤
They should be in the HOF without a doubt.
Great song. Haven’t heard it in years, but I’ve already listened to it three times today. 🤷🏽♂️
my God this is good music.
Of course. Look who wrote it
Yes, and look who performed it? The fabulous and talented 5th Dimension and Marilyn McCoo😊!
@@Julie_X And written by Laura Nyro when she was all of 15
I know everyone wants to praise Laura Nyro like she is a God, but get over yourselves. The 5th Dimension had the hit not her. This is the usual case with song writers so stop hating on the 5th Dimension. It is the 5th Dimension that everyone came to know with this hit and not Laura Nyro. This video is about The 5th Dimension hit song and Not Laura Nyro.
This is the perfect example of a song Dolly Parton wrote and sang in 1974 on one of her albums, the song - "I Will Always Love You". No one even cared about the darn song until Whitney Houston sang the song in the Bodyguard movie in 1992 and we will never ever hear the end of it. To constantly hear that Dolly Parton wrote that song over and over and over again and again and again is as if to "lessen Whitney Houston's fantastic effort" in making the song famous. Good grief!
The 5th Dimension made the song "Wedding Bell Blues" A HIT not Laura Nyro and the 5th Dimension had many hit songs.
@@Julie_X True, but while Laura wrote so many hits for other artists she never had a hit herself which is why, at the age of 24, , fed up with the music industry she walked away from it. She would make a number of comebacks, but they would be short term, until she passed away in 1997. She was only 49 years old
1969 I turned 21 and this song came out just before my birthday. Laura Nero wrote it and I love her version too.
Soundtrack of my youth 🎼 🖤
I turned 1 in 1969 😂
But this song resonates in my soul
What a beautiful woman and beautiful voice just simply gorgeous-you are a lucky man Bill!
I only know this song because of my girl it’s a good song 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Listening to this in July 2024 up in Minnesota. So nostalgic - my favorite group from my "youth".
Another great song by the multi talented Laura Nyro...
Her music performed by The 5th Dimension always bring back memories of a time in my life that the world was just right for me.
Who know what would have happened if Laura had not left us at such an early age...
Saw this group on an American Detective series called ‘It takes a Thief’ with a young and impossibly handsome Robert Wagner . Fell for them completely not to mention Robert Wagner in his bespoke Nehru style suits. I’m still playing the Fifth Dimension and I have a wardrobe of Nehru suits and jackets. I had a jacket made in the late sixties having seen him wearing one. The Fabulous Fifth Dimension.
I Remember This Song,
I’ve always loved this song ever since I saw the movie My Girl
Thank Laura Nyro for writing this beautiful song.
Gorgeous Laura Nyro song. And they did a wonderful interpretation. Never gets old.
I got the wedding blues-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Lady Marilyn, so soulful and bad ass.
This certainly sounds like The Wtecking Crew great Hal Blaine on Drums here!🎵🥁🎶
Love this one from one of my fav movies “My Girl”!!!!
Only heard of this song on you tube a bit before my time , but I luv it
I made a punch of playlists, you 'd think they would give me a break on ads, but no, going back to CDs!

Are you still alive?
Bill i love you so I always will
I love the Fifth Demendion
Marilyn sings Come on Bill with the chorus. Sublime
Laura Nero wrote Wedding Bell Blues
5th Dimension totally rocked it
Nyro
Wrote it when she was all of 14. However for her it went nowhere, but for the 5th Dimension it was a monster hit. Go figure
So I just learned that this song was the chart topper many years ago today. I knew I recognize that line "I love you so" from somewhere I've heard it from Gilmore girls
Real music the harmonies the voice te background musical one the favorites song
This song pulls my heart strings whenever I hear it. I believe that Marilyn and Billy were friends before their relationship became deeper.
Gilmoreeeeeee girls perfeitas
My Girl anyone? 😁
Love this!
I found this song thanks to My girl and gilmore girls. 2 of my favorites🥰
One of the very best wedding songs
I'm your bill, livia 💜
A very beautiful couple the were and still are
Fantastic ! 😘
Marilyn McCoo & Bill Davis members of the 5th Dimension back in the days😲
The piano is killing it!
And the Fifth Dimension is rolling .. Florence La Rue is still an incredible singer and talent..
I only ever bought one of their albums……but it was the Greatest Hits and I wore it out! Damn, they were good!
What a voice, i could not only hear it, but feel it as well...amazing!
Great tune!
Oh I love this song. Marilyns version and Laura Nyros, who wrote the song.
One of the loveliest ladies ladies I've ever had the pleasure of listening to to since 5th grade
Come on & Marry Me Bill.. 😊💙
