The 5th Dimension had soul but hit the pop charts and moved towards that direction.
Formed as The Versatiles in 1965 they changed name due to Johnny Rivers, who had signed
them to his new label, Soul City in 1966.
It was Jimmy Webb who wrote
Up, Up and Away, for them in 1967. Aura Nyro wrote
Stoned Soul Picnic and
Wedding
Bell Blues for them. Their biggest hit was
Aquarius/Let the Sunshine
In from
Hair
with six weeks at number one in 1969.
Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. had married while in the group left for a
solo career, and Lamonte
McLemore, Ron Townson, and Florence LaRue took the 5th Dimension number
Love
Hangover into the charts in 1975 (the track was also recorded by Diana Ross). The group
are still going today, albeit with a different line-up.
