Lead female vocalist Marilyn McCoo, and Billy Davis Jr., who sings over the group in Sunshine celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2019
Looks ve them n their songs♥️this one is their best imo
Why never mention the others?
Marilyn McCoo is one the best singers ever!
And she's such a hottie as well..even today, she still is..Billy is one lucky fella, lol
Perfect pitch (talent) , Business Adm degree from UCLA (smart) and winner of Ms Bronze California pageant (beautiful)
That bass player was really ripping it in 'Sunshine'!
that is Joe Osborn
Joe Osborn was part of The Wrecking Crew of L.A. studio musicians. He backed a long list of artists including the Carpenters and the Fifth Dimension. Joe usually played exactly what was written, but he was given free rein to jam out on Let the Sun Shine In, and this was the magnificent result.
Joe Osborne played that bass! Great bass line!
One of my favorite bass lines Hal Blaine on drums.
This is from the Broadway hit musical "Hair". (There's a great movie of it.) I saw it live, and was a lot of fun. VERY 60's! One of the notable things about it was that a few members of the cast appeared at the end in full frontal nudity. A shock to many, fabulously cutting-edge to some of us. Very cool reaction, Harri !
Remember the Musical and saw it again a couple years ago. 5th Dimension was a fantastic group and they had some solid hits.
I've known this song for more than 50 years and STILL get goosebumps when they break into Let the Sunshine and Billy Davis Jr.'s gospel vocalizing "takes it to church."
I had dinner once by chance with Marilyn and her husband Billie in Mexico when they were performing our group. They were the nicest down to earth people you would ever want to meet.
Joe Osborn was given free reign for the bassline on this song. That's his legendary bassline throughout Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In. He later discovered and produced the Carpenters, recording them in his converted garage and had Hal Blaine on drums (a fellow 'Wrecking Crew' member), who also played on this recording. The other great Wrecking Crew bass player was Carol Kaye, who played on countless recordings from the late 50s to the 80s. Not sure if there will ever be another concentration of such highly talented musicians being assembled in one studio.
The 5th Dimension went to see the stage play "Hair" and heard this song combo sung by the cast and knew it was a hit, so they went to the studio and recorded a cover of the song, which promptly become a huge hit.
At the time, I was pretty much in love with Marilyn McCoo, the lead singer, she was so talented and so unbelievably gorgeous. Hell, she's an old woman and still looks damned good today. Great group!
Hair was the first movie I saw in the theater. I was about 12 yo. Shaped my life considerably
Harri, do yourself a favor and watch the music video of this song. It’s a blast!
Everything from their outfits to the background, it all perfectly blends into a feast
for the ears and eyes. Trippy!
Harri, you will love their "Wedding Day Blues", "Stoned Soul Picnic" and "One Less Bell To Answer"!!!
Stone Soul Picnic!!
No guys, STONED Soul Picnic ;)
Yep it's a beautiful song and so are the others u named.thanks for reminding me 🥰
@@lindabergman3127 your welcome. I corrected Stoned Cold to Stoned Soul.
Definitely, especially One Less Bell to Answer !!! One of the most beautiful and emotive songs I've ever heard.
The Bass line of 'Sunshine" KILLS IT!
Harri, my fav song by the 5th Dimension is Up, Up, and Away. As a child, listening to them singing about floating away in a hot air balloon was magical. When I finally had my first balloon ride, it matched the magical experience I imagined as a child.
This tune defines the age. It swept across the nation in a joyous celebration of what was hoped would be a new age of love and brotherhood. It sounds naïve and corny now, but then it was REAL. Harri you nailed it! (what an awesome bass line, so clean and driving the music)
Sir Harri, this tune was bigger than one could imagine. We were living a new chapter at this time. Cool was successful.
My favorite bass line ever. It's like candy, I can't get enough of it.
The alpha and omega of the musical Hair! Aquarius starts off the show and Let the Sunshine In is the closer. In between is one of the best movies about the turbulent late 60s early 70s. If you have not seen it you should because in addition to these two songs are I Got Life, Hair, Black Boys/White Boys, Easy to Be Hard (by Cheryl Barnes (not the Three Dog Night cover)), Good Morning Sunshine and the lead in to Sunshine In is Flesh Failures. This is only about half the songs but almost all of these saw radio airplay.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! CLASSIC!
Hair was a musical stage production first performed in late 1967. The movie came 12 years later in 1979.
@@edwardlongshanks827 Kind of hard to see the play these days. The movie is available streaming Hey Harri you should have seen this play I went to 40 years ago!...
Also the title song "Hair," with the radio version performed by the Cowsills.
@@jdw5678 The Cowsills video of Hair is classic! Such big hair...
I sing this, at karaoke. It restores something, in my soul. It brings people up. 'Nuff said.
It’s 1975 and I’m back in elementary school, participating in a musical show; this was the song, and I was the planet Saturn; Dad made my costume with Hula Hoops ❤️. The let the sunshine half is a pure banger😊
The song are from the musical Hair. The European Production made a star of Donna Summer who was a good friend of Marilyn McCoo. Donna went on to sing with the Vienna Opera doing Porky & Bess, Godspell and the Me Nobody Knows. She later went on to become Pop Music's first female Mega Star and the Queen of Disco.
Everytime i hear the bassline i cry. All of it is beautiful. Music is what that was.
Other commenters have provided most of the background for this classic. I'll note that this was awarded the Grammy for Record of the Year in 1970. Billboard also voted at #66 in its ranking of the greatest songs of all time. When I hear it I think of my youth and my college years, my long hair, love beads and bell bottoms. Those were the days!
I grew up with the great music of The 5th Dimension in the 60's-70's. They had so many great hits such as "Go Where You Wanna Go", "Up, Up & Away", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", "Wedding Bell Blues", "California Soul", "Workin' On A Groovy Thing", "One Less Bell To Answer", "Never My Love", "(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep at All", "If I Could Reach You", "Love's Lines, Angles & Rhymes", "Living Together, Growing Together" etc.
The bass line and vocal panning🥰🥰🥰
Bones Howe produced
Great song, featuring the incredible basslines of Joe Osborn. Hard not to dance to this one.
What a great song, great group and Marilyn McCoo, what a voice
The visual of seeing them perform this is everything. You miss out not seeing the video for sure.
Members of the group went to see the Broadway play "Hair" and this was a song in the show. They were so taken with the song, they had to do a recording of it for themselves.
Great group, loved their music. I think I still have 2 0r 3 of Their albums. And as I remember it, I think every man in America,
black or white had a crush on Marilyn McCoo.
Florence was HOT also & could sing👍✌️
This song is still #1 for me today. This is the first song I ever fell in love with and I love it till this very day.
You should find a video of this performance "live". Part of the enjoyment of these songs is watching this wonderful group perform! Always my favorite along with Mamas & the Papas.
You should watch/listen to them live ... they sound just as good! They are fun to watch ... the clothes, the colors ...
You must look at the live version of this Song!
The 5th Dimension had a lot of wonderful songs. This one was a very huge success. Great pick Stephen Qualthrough. Well done reaction Harri.👍👍👍
There is a video this performance on tv. Aside from incredible voices this is a very attractive group.
Joe Osbourne on bass Blaine on drums. Two Wrecking Crew musicians
I remember this so well from when it was wildly popular. It’s a blessing we now have people featuring it in reaction videos to reminisce. Thank you, Harri. Great job with this one!
Such joyful noise! This is “feel good” music at its best! I wish I could find such optimism today😢 Great choice 🌺✌️
I agree, however, there's not too much to be optimistic about these days IMO.
@@guidosarducci
Love your name, “Father”!😂
@@debbiechang5781 😁😁😁
This was one of my favorites, loved Marilyn, loved the harmony, and the positive vibes and the brass section! Thanks Stephen & Harri
I heard this when I was in the 9th grade and I was believing it! It was part of the whole Love, Peace, Woodstock vibe!
This was a Major hit. It went quickly to number 1. You must hear Wedding bell blues, one less bell to answer, Last night I didn't get to sleep at all. This was moms' favorite group. And since I heard them so much, I also grew to appreciate the sound of the 5th Dimension. This song was from the musical HAIR....
Wow! Another great song and reaction
Enjoy your Sunday Harri
Great day to listen to “MacArthur’s Park “ by Richard Harris
This is from the antiwar musical "Hair" and this excerpt was on AM radio every 3 minutes! Now the other day you did "Godspell" and now you must must must must do "Jesus Christ Superstar" start with Garden Of Gethsemane song because wow! you will love it
An amazing group talented singers...These tunes will always be uplifting...Thanks Harri
In the Oscar winning rockumentary Questlove dropped last year, "Summer of Soul", 5th Dimension lead singer Billy Davis Jr. tells the story of how an chance encounter in a cab ride led to this version of these two songs. Both are from the 1967 rock musical Hair, which spawned multiple hits including "Easy to Be Hard" by Three Dog Night, "Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver, as well as this number one smash hit. "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" blends the two bookend songs from the musical together to sort of sum up the whole era. The second song is actually named "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)" and the original Broadway soundtrack recording of it is quite funky. Check it out when you can.
Don't forget "Hair" by the Cowsills!
Think of this: 500 years from now, some music historian student will be tapping his foot to this music.
Thankyou! 👍❤️ 🎼 One of my all time favorites. The live version is fantastic. The visuals are almost as good as the music.
This was a sort of 60's youth anthem at the end of the 1960's , in 1969. Fifth Dimension, along with the Mam's and the Papas, were the top vocal singing group who generally did not play instruments, mostly sang, of the 1960's/early 1970's. [ John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas was a guitar player and flute player however]
The BASS id straight killing, yes and AMEN......In gospel choir in high school, we sung this cut... 2 people came to the Lord, it was amazing...
This was from the Broadway musical first performed in 1967. Big hits came out from it over the next few years.
Renewed burst of popularity after release of the movie years later. If you can, try to find videos. They were amazing to see : colourful 60s funky clothing, dance moves.
The mid 60s and 70s were a fabulous time , yet full.of protests for women's rights, against war, poverty, racism. Political upheavals, religious upheavals, terrorism, hijackings, revolts. Intense upheaval of life after the placid yet seething with undercurrents of the 50s. Does it sound familiar?
That song was, like many of the times , a rallying cry, a protest to the current unrest. Not really ahead of the times, sadly, it is just as relevant now.
Not much changes, it seems.
But it is a great song and I was just wowed by it the first time I saw it on TV. Most likely the Ed Sullivan Show.
Where I also remember seeing the BEATLES first ever US performance.
This is sooooooo 60s! You had to live then to know what a special weird, wonderful confusing, unique tumultuous time it was! I'm 79, and I get chills every time I hear this song, and I'll admit tear up a little bit, because maybe we didn't appreciate those days like we should have
A live performance of this is in the Questlove documentary entitled, "Summer of Soul". Check it out.
Crazy-good bass! This was originally in the Broadway musical Hair! I was 12, and this family I babysat for owned the cast recording. I still know the words to many songs because it was always on their turntable! Good times.
You can imagine how the audience reacted to this song live! For another fabulous Fifth Dimension song, please check out "Mighty Love" -- Bill Davis soars on that one, too, will never forget being in the Greek Theater audience for that one many years ago!!
such a happy place on the radio then!..."Puppet Man" (pretty incredible vocal harmonies in this one)..."Wedding Bell Blues"..."Up, Up, And Away"..."One Less Bell to Aswer"..."Save the Country"
This song holds a special place in my heart. Got to be in my uni production of HAIR.
I sang AQUARIUS behind the curtain because our Earth Mother couldn't hit those high notes but I could. So she had to lip sync. So many times I wanted to change up the lyrics so she wouldn't get an ovation at the end of the song.... Everyone would know she was not really singing. Lol
Good times.
People sing along with the 5th Dimension... we need to let the sunshine in!!
Love them! Marilyn & Billy are featured in the documentary "Summer of Soul" which won an oscar. "Up, Up, & Away" is another good one along with "Wedding Bell Blues".
No! You should have checked out the official video! It's excellent performance from this group!
From the musical Hair.
Great movie too.
Make sure you go and find this where the performers are on stage. You will appreciate them more.
This song was written for a Broadway Production called "Hair" They put out an album of all the songs in this Broadway Production and the people who sung them. There are some really fantastic songs in the production on Broadway. They have gotten a new cast and it is not running again on Broadway.
One of half dozen songs on the charts that year from the musical stage show Hair
The bassist is GROOVING!!
Favorite musical ever! Hair!
Very good reaction!🙂 Classic mashup of two songs!❤
It was a time when we believed that Music could save the world .... if only !!!!
Let the Sunshine in ✨✨✨✨✨🎉🎉🎉
Those two songs came from the 1967 Broadway musical Hair; that might be where you heard it.
This song is needed now.
Classic 60's. I was a kid, but remember this tune well. Hell they were probably on Laigh In.
Want a more dystopian tune, check out "in the year 2525".
Already done!
it was the 60's - We between the Flower children And those that felt that love could prevail = we all loved that song!
I read that Billy Davis adlibbed the ending in the studio. It is so good!
They were Big all over the radio back then .I remember I was just a kid grooving to this. I was 9 years old .Oh Memories
Yes the bass was fire 🔥 👌 😍 Loved your reaction and the info. at the end.
On the 2nd half of the song. Is probably one of my favorite Bass lines of all time. Harry on your own time. Check out the Wrecking Crew. Their the studio muscians playing. They’ve played on more songs from the 60’s and early 70’s than you could imagine. They were the greatest studio muscians. And no one knows about them.
The same State Fair that I met Charlie Pride and Glenn Campbell at, I met Marilyn Mccoo and Billy Davis Jr, who were doing a duo at the time. After the show Billy wanted to drive to the hotel, and the cops pulled him over on the way. When they realized who he was, even though it was obvious he'd had a couple drinks, they handed the keys back to him and they gave him a police escort to the hotel- and got some autographs. The guy was a charmer. She was drop dead gorgeous! Very nice nice people!
I heard it as a small child but let the sunshine in was best bit for me as a child. I would of been 1 yrbut I heard it a lot when about 4 or 5
That bass WAS Great!!
back when talent trumped attitude and smiles were more important than the F word
I grew up in that time, I was about 14 years old then. Those were the days! 💕💕🎶🎶👍
These are the opening and closing songs from the rock opera Hair. The 5th Dimension was asked by the producers of Hair to record these songs. Hair started in London in 1969 then moved to the states. I saw it twice in 1970.
Solid Gold! And the dancers weren’t too bad either! But you need to see the live version…..Cheers
Fab song!!
Harri this was a hit song from the Broadway musical "" Hair "" Harri listen to their other hits too they were fabulous. Thanks for the video My Friend.
It’s better when you can see the group singing
The songs are from the musical "Hair", the 5th Dimension did not write these songs, however they did a great job performing them. I saw them live in Central Park New York in the summer of 69, it was a free concert.
Loved this, a whole different world back then.
Gorgeous harmonizing 👏👏👏👏👏😍
I wonder if he would like it even more if he saw the actual video of the band? The outfits and dancing in the video really add a lot!
Harri you play the best songs.. great times these music
They were backed by the Wrecking Crew which had a female bassist. You should hear the Magic Garden...full of psychedelic soul! Cool reaction!
Awesome song..then and now.
Joe Osborn (RIP) is playing the amazing bass guitar for this
The song is taken from the musical Hair that was extremely popular in the late 1960s and reflective of the overall feeling of love and togetherness that permeated that era in reaction to the Veit Nam War. You should check out Marilyn McCoo and her husband Billy DavIs, Jr. who are the lead singers of the group and who have their own careers and are still going strong. Their hits were Marry Me Bill and One Less Bell to Answer. Marilyn is 78 years old and still touring with Billy .
This is so hippy dippy 60's. love it. I am an Aquarian so I always related ..hahah From the musical, Hair.
They are great live.
It was part of the Musical "Hair" which is why they had the orchestra.
It's us old hippies's National Anthem.
It's one song with two chapters. "Age of ..." is journey and arrival..." Sun Shine In..." is once within the Age.
