Thank you 🙏 so much for showing my favorite inspiring group,growing up,I was the token in my elementary classes,and on the radio,they were the only group that had regular air play on both white and black owned radio stations,and their album cover for 'Portrait'was what helped me open my mind to becoming an artist model career,so far it's thirty eight years and counting,in fact,their album catalogs are a few of the first offerings that I want to release with ten channels of surround digital audio on Lps,and their track,"Light Sings" in holographic lightform on laserdisc with above surround audio,I'm working on the microchip designs now,and hopefully the patents will be granted,so that this interview will be seen in people's homes,on many types of devices in holographic lightform images,thanks to all of you for your important collections of music that helped everyone enjoy some of the best parts of our lives and get through the most negative parts as well,your music got us through all of those precious moments,By His Grace,In Loving ❤️ Gratitude.
At 54 years old I hear them, I admire them, they have a voice granted by Yashua. worthy of being in the heavenly choir, what beautiful voices. May YHWE bless you for always being together, I grew up listening to you always. their costumes so distinguished, woooow just cute. WHAT A THRILL .
I'm a baby boomer raised on Motown and British invasion. The 5th is my all time favorite vocal group in history. (Laura Nyro is my favorite song writer, see the connection?) This interview is so informative. Thank you for posting this.
Yep, I do now as I just watched here on YTube, a Lamont Mclamore interview him telling the story of the group and his background. Magical story, really.
Had a little crush on Marilyn back in the day, sorry Billy.. such a powerful sensual voice. The best music ever, the theme songs for the movie we called life back in the day... if they are not in the Hall of Fame they should be!
Little know fact. Even though Marylyn and Billy carried most of the lead vocal work, it was Lamont and Florence who actually brought the group together as a single unit.
We have OFTEN said that. She has A LOT of the "SAME", and had she been cleared to be that way, would've been effortless! She often, to this day, has that essence! In fact, we have seen her as a type of cross between Diana sand Mary!
Best vocal group in the 60's. This must have been recorded years ago, as Trump was still a disgraceful businessman, rather than a disgraceful President. Ron Townsend died of diabetic complications in Las Vegas, during the 1990's. Florence owns the group name today and performs with four other filler singers.
Thanks for that as here in 2022 I see an upcoming Marilyn McCoo performance coming to the McCallum Theater in Palm Desert, CA. I also see if I google there is somebodies performing under the 5th Dimension name. That explains it for this current time, I suppose.
Florence was a little rude to Lamont but ended up with a little bit of egg on her face. Lamont seems like he was a player and she probably made the right decision to say no but it just seems to be a little shady the way she brought it up.
Well, I won't say it like that or attack you for it. I understand. But I didn't see "that" IN it. Florence was recalling it LIKE that Age and their mindsets "do and see things". You imagine being an attractive girl and Knowing "about" this guy always oogling women USING his photography..... And she wasn't "havin-it"! But there was SOME mutuality there that they connected on, as THEY were the cornerstone of the Group! It was God Ordained as there couldn't've been a more "perfect for each other Blend and charismatic chemistry" of a group, and has never been since! Florence had always been the more 'earthy' of the bunch! 😎
They excelled themselves on a whole album of JIm Webb songs -even if it did also include Lennon/McCartney's Ticket to Ride at the end to make up the time !

Great group such awesome people Marilyn is just to beautiful for words❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They all still love each other, no drama, a lifetime of fun being together, a family.
Yesssss. SUCH GREAT energy together ❤

They’re so chilled 😎🤙🏼
I was 10 yrs old when I first seen them on the Ed Sullivan show, Marilyn was my dream girl, and still is.
Wonderful wonderful people, can (and do) listen to them all day long.
This is what you expect heaven to be like. Beautiful, joyful angels one and all. Florence is just pure class.
A great vocal group.
Marilyn is a goddess. God outdid himself when he created her. Florence is gorgeous as well.
Dear God, the ladies are impeccable.
I love you Florence Larue
So true! They are stunning people, all of them!
YES. PRETTY outside AND inward. It shows! And no egos
Marilyn & Billy have been married 50yrs now.
Wow I would love to hear them sing together just one more time in 2021 or 2022! They are singing in there 70's and 80's!
Sadly Ron passed away a few years ago .
@@mjones4083 That still hurts.
@@mikethepianoman1 Yes, it means the original line-up will never be able to re-unite for special occassions .

Same here...and I was born in 1979.
Did you guys know that Lamont was the professional photographer that did the JET center folds? True.
Yes Sir
fact matter of fact he on facebook now!!!
Yep, I do now as I just watched here on YTube, a Lamont Mclamore interview him telling the story of the group and his background. Magical story, really.
That was good! A lot of good chemistry!
💜💜💜💜💜

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Little crush, I was only a twelve year old boy and I wanted to run away from home. I married Diana Ross instead and the rest is history.
Little know fact. Even though Marylyn and Billy carried most of the lead vocal work, it was Lamont and Florence who actually brought the group together as a single unit.
That was smart, cause without Marilyn...no 5th Dimension.
Loved Marilyn in that episode of it takes a thief with Robert Wagner.
This is a Gem. Thx!!
Wowwww
You can reallllly tell that they're friends. n like each other.
❤❤❤
Florence is very nice.
Love them
Love this!
the cutest couple ever lifted up the group. Florence la rue is like my aunt Sarah strengthen herself with class and professionalism.
💎💎💎💎💎
Florence aged soooo well!🔥
Me encanta el grupo y sus maravillosas canciones 🎼🎤👍😀🎼🌸💜❤
Florence could easily pass for Diana Ross' baby sister!
Not ever! Florence is way prettier!
@@Calvin375 ...I second that!
I third that...
We have OFTEN said that. She has A LOT of the "SAME", and had she been cleared to be that way, would've been effortless! She often, to this day, has that essence! In fact, we have seen her as a type of cross between Diana sand Mary!
BUTTER MOMENT274 ...Florence and Diane are the same age. The former is extremely prettier than the latter.
Flo is super fine!
The guys look older from aging,weight gain with Marilyn slight change but Florence looks like she took a time machine from 1960s.
0:50 1:07
Who is the host, ms America, name?
That's Tawny Little, crowned Miss America 1976 representing New York as Tawny Godin.
Best vocal group in the 60's. This must have been recorded years ago, as Trump was still a disgraceful businessman, rather than a disgraceful President.

I agree with best voccal group.Your facts are correct. You've done your homework.
Thanks for that as here in 2022 I see an upcoming Marilyn McCoo performance coming to the McCallum Theater in Palm Desert, CA. I also see if I google there is somebodies performing under the 5th Dimension name. That explains it for this current time, I suppose.
Do you like being a miserable dick?????

She always tries to get attention. It's hard being in Marilyn's shadow, professionally speaking, I guess.
That let the sunshine in baloney I really could not stand ..but boy it sure would have been good if they had done a whole album of Laura Nyro songs.
Well too bad because you didn't get that it was the followup celebration to the "dawning of the Age of Aquarius" concept. Sheeeeeeesh what a grump.
