Free Music Notes for Very Best of the 5th DimensionFree Music Review: Not 'square' anymore Hit: 5 StarsGrowing up in the late '60s, it was decidedly 'square' to like The Fifth Dimension. Nevertheless, their precision harmonies and slick production really etched themselves into the 60's collective consciousness.
40 years later, it's okay to admit that they are part of the soundtrack of a great many lives, and this collection covers the high points without beating that consciousness to death.
A real trip down memory lane!
Free Music Review: Great Real R&B Music Hit: 5 StarsThis is one of the 1st real R&B music groups that can really sing.
Free Music Review: 5th Dimension Classics Hit: 4 StarsGreat CD with every song you could want,except for one of my favorites... Never My Love.. originally recorded by The Association. The 5th Dimension put their signature sound on it and i've never heard it performed better! Other than this CD omitting this wonderful song, it's a definite keeper!
Free Music Review: PLEADING THE FIFTH Hit: 5 StarsTHE VERY BEST OF THE FIFTH DIMENSION: Call them the black Mamas and the Papas if you want; unbelievably, the Fifth Dimension sounded even whiter than the Supremes. Marilyn McCoo's cool flair with a pop number and the group's knack for covering some of the best song craftsmen of their era (Laura Nyro, Jimmy Webb, etc.) resulted in an unbroken string of Top 40 gems from the late sixties through the early seventies. Although McCoo's husband, Billy Davis Jr. succeeded in piercing the gang's RNB bubblegum with a delicious blast of gospel grit on the second half of AQUARIUS/LET THE SUN SHINE IN (from the smash musical HAIR), for the most part, the 5D were as safe as Three Dog Night and the Grass Roots. The highlights---Up, Up and Away, Sweet Blindness, One Less Bell to Answer, Workin' On a Groovy Thing, Stoned Soul Picnic, Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep at All---are many here, from five talented performers more than able to take vocal harmony to another dimension. RATING: FIVE BELLS
Free Music Review: Almost the very best Hit: 4 StarsThis is a nice collection, however I am still waiting for someone to release " Love Hangover " by the Fifth Dimension. The original 3:40 45 version on ABC Records stock no. 16938 S
Yes I know it has been released but they keep releasing the wrong one. Many times over.
