Description
Between 1967-73, the original members of The 5th Dimension (Lamonte McLemore, Marilyn McCoo, Florence LaRue, Ronald Townson, and Billy Davis Jr.) scored 20 Top 40 Billboard hits, including “Up, Up, and Away” and a medley from the Broadway musical Hair. The group had more success with the songs of Laura Nyro than Nyro herself (“Stoned Soul Picnic” and “Wedding Bell Blues”) and also recorded songs by Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Jimmy Webb.
