@jackdav34 ...uh, yeah, I'd say. Michelle Obama has a nice figure but otherwise looks like a flippin' praying mantis (not her fault); McCoo is absolutely ravishing in every way. I mean Marilyn McCoo is just gorgeous.
When she hosted "Solid Gold" I was able to do photo shoot of her, the "Solid Gold Dancers," and out of the blue shows up James Brown...Those were the days. Marilyn still has it..
I was just watching (on Netflix) a 5th Dimension TV special from about 1971 with The Carpenters as guests. It was amazing to see both groups back in their glory days. The show was called The 5th Dimension Travelling Sunshine Show. Check it out.
She makes Britney, Natalie, Jessica and all those other pretenders look sick. The other only have past "hits" and current problems. Marilyn is and always been a class act. Thank you.
I have to say that Marylin is truly one of the finest female vocalists ever if not the best any chance of her or the two of them touring the UK in the future?
I couldn`t agree more. I think "One Less Bell To Answer" is a song that I will always get goosebumps listening to. Everything she did she sang flawlessly. And what a beauty,this from an aging 53 year old white man...
Did Marilyn do the ORIGINAL "Last Night " vocal we all grew up with on the radio? If so - she is BEYOND wonderful. I just thought Dionne Warwick did a few of 5th Dimension hits...
She did the only version that I remember. I saved my allowance to buy this 45. I played that record over and over. i am sure I drove my parents crazy with it.
Mariloyn sang lead on all the "female hits" the 5th had .. Such as "Last Night, One Less Bell, Wedding Bell Blues, If I Could Reach You, Loves Lines Angles & Rhymes, Never My Love & Flashback" .. She is without a doubt, my fave vocalist of all time ...
yeah the 4 octave range is still Strong .. most artists seem to lose their voice as they age .. she must have taken care of her "instrument" well .. U go Girl ..
Man I was getting nervous that she'd never be able to hit that highest note in Up Up and Away but she did it effortlessly--naturally I was nervous since my own singing voice resembles a dying yak's death rattle. Anyway these live clips really show how good Marilyn really was/is.
My God, what a *voice* this woman has! Thank you, mccoofan! I think the only other voice I'd even mention in the same breath, among female vocalists, is Karen Carpenter. Very different, stylistically, but they both had that just *un-Earthly* resonance that made you prick up your ears and say "Whoa . . . where did *that* come from?" Someone once said "the great [performers] always hit you like they'd just dropped in from Outer Space", and MMcC is definitely one of those! :-D
Mariln and husband Billy have just released a new CD The Many Faces Of Love. She is still beautiful. You can find the CD on their MySpace site or McCoo Davis online.
Thank you so much for posting. '..Didn't Get To Sleep At All' is my all time fav and this is the only performance, or part of a performance I've seen. I love it, thank you.
Last Night's author, Tony Macaulay is one of the best songwriters in the business, with well-written hits recorded by many artists. The quality of his songs are at the pinnacle of pop, with freshness & flowing tunes almost guaranteeing them to become hits. Both "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" & "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" are two of the best, most perfect pop ballads of all-time. You owe it to yourself to find-out more about Macaulay. His influence is greatly felt to this day.
Hmmm... I think those notes just take you by surprise since it's only Marilyn singing, and the song is in an entirely different key from the original. After a listen or two, the high notes sound kind of cool, I think! I agree, though, "we can float among the stars together" might be little pinched...
Sorry--I guess my post wasn't exactly clear--I meant that I can't believe she could hit those high notes! I am so retarded that it never dawned on me that she must be able to hit them since she always did in the 5th--but hearing her alone really shows how good she was.
What a knockout. The whole package.
