The 5th Dimension - Songs

ABOUT

The 5th Dimension was a pop/R&B/soul group formed in LA in 1966. Originally known as The Versatiles, the group's members consisted of Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo, Lamonte McLemore, and Ron Townson.

The 5th Dimension debuted on the charts in 1967 with "Go Where You Wanna Go," but the group's popularity really soared later that same year with "Up - Up And Away," which became a Top 10 hit. The 5th Dimension had a long string of hits on the Pop/Rock, R&B, and Adult Contemporary charts through the late 1970s that also included "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" (1969) and "Wedding Bell Blues" (1969), and "(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All" (1972). The "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" medley was one of the songs from the famous and then-controversial late 1960s rock musical, "Hair."

Group members Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., who married in 1969, later started recording as a duo and had several hits during the late 1970s that included "You Don't Have To Be A Star" (1977). Over the years, The 5th Dimension won several Grammys, and in 2002, the group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
