pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy. Please hit the like button if you can.
Ladies and gentlemen this what they call talent.
Affirmative 👍🏾 👌🏾
Indeed!~APRIL LIPKE
When succes had to be earned and was not given freely overnight 🎩
Back In the day
Absolutely
Marilyn and Florence are superb examples of graceful aging
The whole group is a class act.
Indeed...graceful aging..."As of 1991"; this was videotaped going on nearly "34" years ago, as of here in 2024...and only "23" years had past when "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" was first recorded in late 1968...so, it's all a matter of perspective. Unfortunately, time does not hold back for no one; we sadly lost tenor Ronald Townson in August of 2001, more than 20 years ago. Time stops for nobody...BUT...continues...in "The Age Of Aquarius"...where The Sun always Shines!

No autotune, just pure talent, great voices 👍❤️ and a deeper meaning 🙏
💯……
What Happened and where did this kind of talent go ?
True
@@JosephNine As I've heard it said, "nobody's listening and nobody wants to." Our modern techno-age of permanent strangers--antiseptic, ridiculing, giggling, bored, shallow, and loving it.
My Cousin Ronald Towsand A American Legend..RIP MUCH LOVE
The chemistry the harmony The Fifth Dimension totally underrated they were super good
They sound beautiful and look beautiful guy
indeed my favorite group
I love how the singers just leave the band in the dust when Let The Sunshine In part starts. These guys don't need no band! They nail their vocals without backing tracks!
The 5th Dimension was the most underrated group in the world.
RIP Ron Townson.
The 5th Dimension has made over 25 million in sales with 22 Top 40 hits and five No. 1 songs, including “Up, Up and Away,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “One Less Bell to Answer,” “Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep At All,” and the iconic “Aquarius/ Let the Sunshine In”.
They are far from underrated. 9 Grammy nominations/6 awards including 2 Records of the Year for Up, Up and Away and Aquarius. One of those nominations was Album of the Year for Age of Aquarius. Plenty of recognition, much more than most of their competition ever received.
@@imar3248 the word underrated needs to be removed from the English language. I just looked at sales. Thanks for bringing up all of the awards.
@@mrbear1302 and thank U for the Hot100 and sales data😊
I don't think they were that underrated. They had quite a bit of hits, was hard to place them either Soul, Pop..they was great!
The level of talent is just off the charts. They don't make 'em like they used to....
God bless the 5th Dimension. Takes me back to my childhood years.
One of the most underrated bands in the entire world.
Very much so! A great band, indeed!
Pure talent!!! None of the crap offered now as music!
here listening to them in middle of the pandemic in january 2021. herodes. blessings.
20 years after their hit and they're all still wonderful. They've aged great, too. The heavy dude lost some weight, "someone" lost some hair and the girls are still knockout gorgeous. Now I wish I could give a thousand thumbs up to the commenter below who pointed out THE CLASS of the girls. They didn't have to be vulgar to be successful cause they had TALENT.
Sadly Ron has passed away . Marilyn & Billy live in Los Angeles 👍💕
And they were fully dressed! My mom said talent allows you to keep your clothes on. 😉
My dad brought home an album and the first song on that album was ,up up and away. I kept playing that song over and over. Didn't care what was the next song.
Mom would always play “Up, Up, And Away” when I was a baby to calm me down. My son was born on February 7, so “Aquarius” is also a significant song.
I’ll always love this group
Awww bless that baby who started life with a beautiful soundtrack for his/her life. ♥♥
We have 3 Aquarians in our family, including myself.
Aquarian. Trivia: on my 9th birthday, the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time.
Marilyn McCoo still looks beautiful!!!
Wow! One of the BEST group reunion live performances EVER! How great were they???
Pure singing talent! (Marilyn McCoo is so freaking gorgeous!!)
Best song they ever did
This makes me so happy...I'm getting misty eyes. The sheer beauty of the group and individual voices. Magnificent!
Damn! Marilyn and Florence are soooo fine! They all sound great too!
Florence has great legs ! 💃💕
Flo is a beauty, nice six pack abs in early 70's video
They really are stunning
and they still sound awesome... PERFECT pitch and blend!!!! and sooo soulful... JUST beautiful...!!!!
Wow they still got it.
Who here remembers Marilyn as a host on Solid Gold? I know I'm dating myself now lol.
I do. I remember having a crush on Marilyn McCoo when I was a little Kid
You and me both
She was absolutely stunning!!!
I do.
i just SNAPPED like "Is that Marilyn McCoo??!!" Totally dated myself lol
Just to see this original great band perform is like a part of Americas history coming back to us all whom are lucky enough to see them perform again!! WoW! Thanks Arsenio!!! and Thank you so much to the best of the best!! The 5th Dimension!! We love you!!!
Wow they still beautiful thank u
Wonderful hearing it being sung live
' You don't have to be a star ' to open your heart and let the sunshine in!!!
Our people are so youthful. What a blessing from the CREATOR.
Billy Davis Jr. always has a lot of energy. Love this band. They are one of the all time greatest.
True talent at it's best...remember this song on the radio one morning as I was going to school in 3rd grade. Such a big hit.
@Bill Miles I was in the 4th Grade. I remember they had us all go out on the play field and hold hands in a huge circle and sang this song. It was more like an anthem of the 60s!
@@DetroitLives313 The Age of Aquarius was huge as well - it seemed to be in the Billboard 200 forever!
Wow this is the dimension I am about to go into the Age of AQUARIUS, what a great time to be alive my pples.🐦🐦🐦
Yesssss😍😁
Glad that I had the opportunity to go to a BBQ at Ron Townsend's house in the 70s with my sister and brother in law.
After all these years, I still get chills when these five people hit that second chorus of Aquarius. And (gasp) no Autotune!!
Sounds beautiful
Wow, this was great. They sang it live excellently!
I had this record when I was 7 years old...I think I played it so many times that the grooves of the record were worn down...
Getting to see them singing this live is INCREDIBLY special! They certainly all still had their voices, that's for sure!!!
ABSOLUTE CLASSIC. WHAT A GREAT GROUP WITH FANTASTIC HARMONIES. So many hits, so many memories. The GREAT music (and groups), NEVER gets old.
RIP Ron Townson
Sadly Ron has passed away - but the others are all still with us . 💕💨
I still remember when Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr made a couple of hits after they left the 5th Dimension, "You Don't Have to Be a Star" and "Reunited"...and they have been married for over 50 years!!!!!
Reunited was Peaches & Herb 🏳️🌈
WOW. They were still amazing after 25 or so years.
And Marilyn McCoo is a bona fide GODDESS!
You got that right...Marilyn, in opinion, is one of thee most beautiful ladies ever...She's in my top 10 that's for sure..She's right up there as a super model..Talk about a super model that can sing, WHOA..
Florence still looked smokin' hott.
She is always hot
She never smoked 🚬 - that's why she looks & moves so nice. 👌
nah, too old now~
@@AndrewWhite6969 now yes. But that was in 91
@@tonykeisling2830 Flo's as gorgeous and radiant as ever today, inside and out. An absolute beauty!
Son lo mas grande de la música, son parte de nuestra vida en latinoamérica también, y se nos hace un nudo en la garganta al verlos y escucharlos otra vez. Dios los bendiga...., saludos desde el Perú.
Pure talent, from the greatest decades of music!!!
Wow! As good as they were back in the '60s!
My parents music...Grew up to this music..GLAD I DID...PURE SINGERS
it's good stuff
plus the wrecking crew
ALIVE PERFORMANCE??
AWESOME!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm gonna be a Grandma for the first time❣️🤗💞 My son is going to have the Joy of having this precious bundle of love and joy I am beyond myself 💞🤗🙏
All I'm saying is
When I found out my Grand baby is going to be Aquarius ❤️ Thinking of this, I remembered the Awesome song Aquarius from the famous and awesome fifth dimension
Those were the days! How magnificently beautiful! ❤
phenomenal group. Such powerful singers. Loved them
Gosh they sound SO GOOD. Love these wonderful people.
Beautiful music, a spiritual gathering of love and life. Wonderful people, wonderful group.
It is the Age of Aquarius now! Hopefully most people made it.
They sound so good live.
Memories
It is 2020. People pay close attention to the words of this song! It is happening now!
Yep
Yesss 😍😁
Hauntingly Beautiful, even now.
F**k ME! I am blown away I cannot believe they did this LIVE and sound better than the recording how is it possible? Oh it's called TALENT!!! 😂
What a serious treat. Thank you for posting it whoever it was
rather joyful moments of my past..God bless Arsenio..where you at brother???
Seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show when I was 10 yrs old, I swear I was going to Marry Marilyn McCoo when I grow up, but it didn't happen. she's still my dream girl.
Beautiful!!! Definitely a class act! ❤️
yes there are beautiful songs still being written/made today but the songs of the golden years were "timeless and priceless".
Florence LaRue is freaking gorgeous!!!
_Florence has legs !!_ 💕😜
Love her
Ms Florence looks fantastic in that dress here! Also, I think that partly due to her shorter stature, Florence's dance moves actually looked better than those of Marylin throughout the 5th Dimension's history
Marilyn too
Both she and Marilyn McCoo are former beauty pageant queens.
One of my most favorite songs. ❤
Mine too.
The original song blew my mind and the live performance on The Arsenio Hall show was every bit as amazing as the first performance!🎉❤
Thank you for posting this most wonderful clip!
Superb performance - Bravo!
I never get tired of listening to The 5th Dimension.♥️✌🏼🌜🌞
Have been a fan from the beginning Then 15 now 68
They sounded every bit as good as they ever did if not BETTER.
Still have it!loved them.
MARVELOUS
Just as freaking fantastic as the first time I ever saw them. Loved The group then.. and love the group now❤️
I think I just found my favourite song of all time
This was a monster hit back in the day.
6 weeks at no.1 on pop charts.
@@turntableone4356 And bestselling song of 1969 globally. Number 71 in the all-time Billboard 100 chart!
Im glad they kept Let the Sunshine in - needs that bass line though
Damn they still have it .
Great we still listen this wonderful song in Brazil
Wow! So glad to have found this video of them singing live and just knocking it out of the park! They were just awesome!
amazing. everything about this song and performance puts me in awe.
This is a magical performance and not even close to their best. I did finally here Florence LaRue’s vocals clearly amazing
Oh my God they're amazing God is amazing and they're obviously blessed by God
The 5th Dimension had many synschonicities working in their favour in the earlier days, particularly the pure fluke of how they came to record Aquarius, the biggest-selling hit worldwide of 1969. So yes, I'd say the angelic 5D were heaven sent and just meant to be!
Amazing voices! 😍
Awesome
National anthem of our youth...
Those days can never,never be equalled till today!.
Our time as come to change the world hail my fellow aquarians
i feel it! great ! Bravo
Damn!
I wish they would have sung Up Up And Away.
all i can say is.. wow.. AMAZING!!!
Arsenio always had the best musical guests
Yes, he did.
When he made his comeback in 2013 things had changed so much from the way Pop Culture was in the 90's and with Evening Talkshows that it wasn't the same anymore. There was also the competition of the other Evening Talkshows. It's a Different Era of Talkshows now. Unlike the Johnny Carson, Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and the Others were. If only he had come back 2004 that special something and his Popularity would've still been there. Early 2000's were different.

Beautifully written & performed ❤
Beautiful....love how thwor vocals blend...
WOW. What a find!!!!
They were good and CLASSY.
These are top performers from way back in the 60s
Just watched the documentary on the Black Woodstock concert that took place in Harlem 1969. It featured The Fifth Dimension and their performance is a wonderful highlight of the film.
Can't wait for Summer of Soul to hit the UK. I've seen brief clips of the 5D performing in front of tens of thousands of people and just leaves you wanting more!
brilliant
