Fifth Dimension - Paper Cup [Very Good quality / No mpg4 resolution]

[azboomer1950]

i was in the studio in los ang the day they recorded the brass parts for this song. my brother (one of the french horn players) took me to sit in during the recording. i was a little disappointed because i thought i was going to see the five singers, but they had already layed down the singing parts in advance. even so, it was exciting to hear the song before it was released.

Man the fashions back then were freaky!

I remember this song well, it always sounded so cheerful. For some reason Marilyn McCoo looks a lot taller than I remember.

[glamourgirl1938]

@mwanamberi I read online that she is 5'8"--which is pretty tall, especially back then!

Sidenote: I love Marilyn's outfit; her two-tone tights are super groovy!!

@glamourgirl1938 Yes, she and Billy are both 5'8" or 5'8 1/2" (it's in their book). the two tone stockings and the wide belt set that outfit off...me likey.

@MsTexas73 I believe MM is 6'2

[MsTexas73]

@shyphyre According to Marilyn, she's 5'8" (or 5'8 1/2") and the same height as Billy. Having seen them in person and having stood next to them, this seems to be the case. I am 5'4" and they do not TOWER over me, but they are slightly taller than I am.

I always loved the Fifth Dimension; they had a ton of memorable, great songs. This particular song did not get as much air time as others; however, it is definitely one of my favorites. For some reason, when I am feeling blue I can put this on and I WILL feel better.  It is just so light, happy and senseless - a paper cup - how cute is that? Love This Song. Thanks for the post.

Nice picture...I'll add this to my playlist.

Thanks--that's the clearest I've seen that.
