In their late '60s/early '70s heyday, the Fifth Dimension's lush, airy sound embodied a glossy showbiz vibe that couldn't have been more at odds with the values of the hip, rock underground. But the best of the sexually integrated vocal quintet's hits still sound swell on the radio. This 11-song collection doesn't quite do justice to the group's catalogue, omitting some key hits, but it does include such fluffy confections as "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," "Up, Up and Away," Wedding Bell Blues," "Stoned Soul Picnic," and "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep At All." As such, it provides a good introduction to the group's smoothly soaring sound. --Scott Schinder

Excellent, Absolutely............2007-07-27

Nothing, absolutely nothing beats old school music. When you hear songs like "Stone Soul Picnic" and "Wedding Bell Blues", it just puts you in the mood to cook up some good ole food and invite some friends over for an old school good time. Yes, scurry on down....

Love this CD!!!.......2007-07-09

This is one of my all time favorite CD's. I was so happy to find it! At one time I owned the album and I can sing every song word for word!!
I Love to sing and Marilyn McCoo is such a great inspiration I think she has a Beatiful voice and the harmonies from the rest of the Fifth Dimesion only add to the "greatness"!! of this CD!!

The Fifth Dimension is HArmonic Singing and Sound.......2007-04-30

In the late 1960's, 5 musicians (Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo, Lamonte McLemore, and Ron Townson) came together and formed a singing group with a unique sound, the Fifth Dimension. They had a string of hits, which were played on all the AM top-40 radio programs of the day.

At their peak, they were one of the most popular groups in the US. Marilyn McCoo, who helped start the group, ultimately became the lead singer and the most recognized vocalist in the group. Her voice is as good as it gets, and her work stands up today as a testimony to her beautiful renditions and sound. In the early 1970's the group suffered a great blow when Marilyn McCoo and Billy David Jr. broke away and started solo careers of their own. This effectively ended the Fifth Dimension.

This album has the best of their hits, the ones you will recognize and remember. There are some songs missing from this album, so it is not the "complete" Fifth Dimension collection, which is available elsewhere. However, if you desire just one album that best reflects the sound of the Fifth Dimension, this is the one to buy.

I never tire of their unique blend of harmony and soul. I wish today's musician's would take a lesson from the Fifth Dimension and learn the art of harmony.

Every Song's A Hit!.......2007-03-28

On this very well-done album, every song is a hit in its own right. The energy and harmony of this group, my favorite from the 60s and 70s, is contagious, as you listen to each of the tracks. No matter which genre is your favorite, I strongly recommend this particular album to you...

5th Dimension Greatest Hits on Earch.......2006-11-10

Very, very nice. Brings back lots of memories. I was actually replacing an, would you believe, eight-track tape which was on my coffee table. My crazy dog knocked it to the floor. It broke open and some of the tape spilled out. CDs are a much, much better format.
