Saw them live in late 60s. My first concert, ever. I haven't seen a better show since. I have to agree that M. McCoo is among my top 5, if not top 1 of best female singers and The Fifth is among my top 5 groups, also. Marilyn's voice is simply beautiful and grabs you from the start, without any outlandish vocal acrobatics. If anybody remembers The Seekers, circa mid to late 60s, ie; "I Know I'll Never Find Another You" , check them out. You'll see/hear why I mentioned them in this post.
this song takes me back to my track and field days at John Marshall High School on the West Side of Chicago back in the early '70s'. It specifically reminds meof Kevin 'Rockchild' Cherry and Naomi Willis. Kevin got killed in 1980, I believe, and I found Naomi years later but she is nothing of the younglady I was so in love with back then. GOD BLESS!!! bilbo2shire
kristin chenowith did a pretty good cover of this on glee, i dont think she put that much emotion into it... but thats just me *shrug* haters gonna hate
well the good news is that if glee keeps using music like this the newer generation may actually know a form of the great music from the past. unfortunately i'm 22 and have never heard this song in it's original form but am excited to do so now.
I heard this record in an episode of "To Catch a Spy" I think, at the age of 8 or 9. it took me 15 years to find a copy in the record shop. It still sounds good today.
Either I am getting old, radio stations overlook good songs, or today's generation has no concept of good music. The song was played as part of a clue on "Jeopardy!", and not one of the contestants, who appeared to be in their 30s and early 40s, could identify it.
@primogennaio Well none of those things are mutually exclusive. I am 33 and am a big fan of the 5th Dimension, and this era of pop. But, I am fascinated by pop throughout the eras, and was fortunate enough to have a mom and grandmother that used to sing along with all their favorite songs from their respective times. My mom used to get super over the top and pretend to have a breakdown when she'd sing this song in the car!
@JerryTKangaroo My hat off to your mom and Grandma for showing you the good music from years past. I also salute you for being openminded and willing to enjoy and appreciate it. Unfortunately, can't say it about much of the present generation.
She is a Legend from the 60-70 era that sings in a distinctive style that made me cry and sing with her.What is it about her love ballads that make her sound as good today as 45 years ago?She was educated,good-looking,and when you heard her and the FD..every song was one I would listen to again,and again...A timeless voice that is as haunting and sexy as ever.
When I was a teenager (13) and I'd hear this sing being played on the radio, I use to feel so sorry for the lady that was singing the song. I mean badddddd! What could I do to help her find her husband?
Marilyn McCoo had one of the most beautiful voices in all of pop history, so perfect and she was gorgeous (and still is). This, along with Up, Up and Away and their cover of Harlem are my favorite songs by them. I never get tired of this.
@amberfwn , Unfortunately music like this is for the most part considered elevator music. There are a few good ones left. Christina Aguilera sings real stuff, but she doesn't get the attention you would think. Everyone wants flash and trash these days like Lady Gaga, even though I think Lady Gaga is quite talented, somehow her voice doesn't do anything for me. And she sings space case songs, kind of like Deborah Harry did
0:22 "egg to fry...." and she hits the higher note with poetry, flutey, with a lovely pure warble. I'm in heaven. And her sense of build-up is wonderful. No flaunting oversing thing - just feelings, in a groove.
Thanks The 5th was " THE BEST " of All Time + they're in concert @ the Hard Rock in Hollywood Fla. on May 26 a Thursday hope you all can be there !!! soo looking forward !!!!
I totally miss Marylin Mc Coo and this Great Group + This Point in Time [ so hard to go back in time ] + times do change, but, I truery miss this great group , plus these great times , thanks for reading this....
Beleive it or not, this song brings back memories from 1970, blasting thru back canals in a Champ speedboat @ 75 MPH on the Dania Cut- Off Canal { South Fla. } on down to The Castaways Hotel in Miami, A time I'll Never forget.
Had a crush on her since I was 10 when I saw her sing from that big orange balloon.Her singing voice and even her speaking voice is beautiful. From what Ive read she's from a prominent family, parents both MD's, she went to UCLA. Someday I would like to meet her and kiss her, but unfortunately I would have to stand on a box.
THE FINEST PEICE OF MUSIC EVER RECORDED and performed by the FINEST SINGER IN THE WORLD + The finest group that has ever been, don't we all love THE FIFTH DEMENSION ? Thanks for reading this
Amen, peachykeen838; how we long for those days.. Man, good times without a doubt... This is one of my favorites. Truly, music from another d_i_m_e_n_s_i_o_n**
wow-there was really i time way back when-when musicians actually utilized thier god given talents-i don`t know where we are headed-listening to the music of today-it`s scarey! thank god for youtube that reminds us of the real music of the past
Back when you had to have real talent to make it in the music business and people still had class and respect. I feel sorry for the kids today and the shit the music industry feeds them and passes off as music. Especially the males. Everyone's a bad ass or at least has to act as if. A generation who thinks that dealing drugs is a good career move and an institute of higher learning is a prison, who look like their clothes swallowed them. They look like clowns with their pants around their knees.
@manila7979 Really, How could you have forgotten such a voice.... Marilyn sings as though she is living or reliving this tragic situation. Marilyn's God-given raw talent, backed-up with a very gifted trio of soul and you have the 5th Dimension....! ! ! Stunning vocals and a harmony rarely surpassed.
Marlyn MaCoo has the most amazing voice and that the Lord gave to her as now she is a Christian.Thank you for the memories and for the 5th Dimension for all their music.
THIS SONG MAKE ME REMEBER, WHEN I USED TO GO TO DANCE, VERY ROMANTIC, I USED TO SING IT AT EAR, AND MOVING ONLY TWO FEET, WHIT MY ARMS AROUND THE GIRLS. 73 TO 75, AND STILL LISTENING WHEN IT´S POSSIBLE, THIS GREAT VOICE, I´M FROM MTY. MEXICO
marylin is my all time fave female.she is so special.after watching this vid with the lighting and the mini mini skirts i feel as tho even more of her has been exposed 2 me
I watched the fifth dimension perform in Vegas at the Riviera several times in 73 and 74; I sat front and center, just 25 feet away, and they sang as well or better live than on their records, it is treasured memories, they were sooo good.
I remember seeing Marilyn on TV when I was a kid - it may have been the first time I heard this song. It still moves me just as much today as it did then.
One fo the best Bacharach songs, beautifully executed by the wonderful 5th DImension. Few could make Bacharach proud, and these guys most certainly do.
One of my all time favorite songs. Being little and growing up in the 60's exposed me to all kinds of music. I'm glad to have the musical background that I have because the music today (if you can call it music), is mostly a bunch of glossed over crap.
@qrxhtso1 I hear what your are saying. I too was born in the 60's (66) and luckily had very young parents and uncle3 and aunts who had the latest records. I remember getting Jackson 5's ABC record on the first day it hit the corner record store. I became a musician in the 70's thanks to Santana, Sly Stone, War, Chaka Khan, Hendrix, and so many others.
It may be hard to believe, but yes, there was a timed when these 5 incredible voices were criticized for not being " black enough". Sad, unbelievable, but it is true. They had the courage to keep singin like only they could, & today, we miss & love them more thasn ever. KUDOS to the Classy, 5th Dimension! Wolfsky9
Did I ever have a crush on this beautiful lady! The perfect meshing of physical and Melodic. Her enunciation ,her diction, her voice were enough to make you fall in love with her. thanks for the memories!
I still marvel at how she hits that magical goose flesh note at the 2:12 mark, and her fellow “Dimensioners” lift it even higher with their pillowy harmonies behind her. Damn! I still have my original Bell 45-single of this “I'm not hearbroken, but I'm heartbroken” classic.
Since my youthful days, I fell in love with this song. Really soothing and refreshing to the mind, this classic will never leave my memory until I go. As to the group, their popularity was never as such reenforced by media as the many other contemporary groups of their time. Therefore, the names of the artistes were not known but because of such classic exhibited, indeed one couldn't miss to know who they were. Thanks for this presentation.
I think Glee is introducing classics to the youth.. but you can't compete with the originals.. .it is like when studios release new versions of classic movies.. it just isn't the same.. you can never capture that first time experience no matter who sings it the second time or who acts the part the second time around.. I love orginals and no one can sing this with the emotion or soul as the original 5th dimension group ♥♥
I love this song. I dedicate this song to my beloved husband who passed away at a young age and my best friend who just passed away from cancer. I love you both!
I love this song. I dedicate this song to my beloved husband who passed away 20 years ago and my best friend that passed away to cancer. God bless you both! You will always be remembered. I love you eternally
WOW...real instruments and vocal powerhouse...no autotune and visual gimmics..what is this??? Oh ,of course, it's from the 70's, ah yes, the cheesy 70's ( as they like to say) TAKE ME BACK !!!!
@inkey2 yeah...but when i hear music from the early years of the 80s...the 4 years 1980-1983 i still think that it was better then too than actual XXIst century music...
But i ve got to recognise that the very best music was from the 60s and 70s
@inkey2 yeh, maybe......... still good music today though...! And yet, Marilyn Macoo does this song it's due. Never been a better rendition.... might never be!
@rayjr62 -so very true! I have told my kids more than once that they will never know the thrill of turning on the radio because I could not wait to hear the new music that was "out". So much talent, and we took it for granted. We lived during the golden age of pop music !

I remember back in the 70's when I used to hear this song it always made me cry, I don't cry when I hear it any more, but it sure brings back memories, and good ones at that. Wish we had good singers/song writers today who could bring back the music. It all started to leave w/disco....rap.....hiphop......now nothing. Somebody needs to bring the music back!!!!! I love this group and all their songs always have.
MAN JUST LISTEN TO THAT TONE IN HER VOICE , THESE DAYS YOUNGER PEOPLE CAN'T SING WITH SUCH CONVICTION . THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN , I HAPPY I GREW UP WITH THIS KIND OF MUSIC
Silly as it may sound......... I hear Marilyn's voice singing 'One Less Bell' most of my day........... one of my absolute favorite songs of my life. No one could sing a song, this song, with such pure, raw emotion. Marilyn McCoo can't be outdone.
@billyboylb ...Streisand is talented, very talented, but she doesn't hold a candle to Marilyn McCoo on this song. Marilyn's voice is so very natural and her delivery is absolutely genuine. Noone sings this song better..!
@billyboylb Thanks billyboy................Her voice and soulful conviction is real. Her interpretation is spot-on....... Only Marilyn does this song it's due..... I respect your love of Barbara, ..... but Marilyn, and the 5th dimension own this tune forever. Thanks for the reply
This song is just unreal. The way she sings the lyrics. She's just working the words in a pure art form. The tempo, the lyrics themselves, the backing music, the background vocals. It's all one singular thing of perfection. Her performance is beyond belief. Her, low, thick, full-bodied voice. How she anunciates the words, the expressiveness of the delivery of the "thoughts and feelings" by the SUNG lyric. This has got to be among the greatest of the great songs of all time.
I love the way that they walked on stage. Man, those were the days of songwriting, music, vocal and musical performances par excellence. Thanks for posting.

One of my all time favorite songs. Being little and growing up in the 60's exposed me to all kinds of music. I'm glad to have the musical background that I have because the music today (if you can call it music), is mostly a bunch of glossed over crap.

@qrxhtso1 I hear what your are saying. I too was born in the 60's (66) and luckily had very young parents and uncle3 and aunts who had the latest records. I remember getting Jackson 5's ABC record on the first day it hit the corner record store. I became a musician in the 70's thanks to Santana, Sly Stone, War, Chaka Khan, Hendrix, and so many others.
Today's music is NOT music.

It may be hard to believe, but yes, there was a timed when these 5 incredible voices were criticized for not being " black enough". Sad, unbelievable, but it is true. They had the courage to keep singin like only they could, & today, we miss & love them more thasn ever. KUDOS to the Classy, 5th Dimension! Wolfsky9

Marilyn's Lead vocal is perfection and the back up vocals are equally great.

I still marvel at how she hits that magical goose flesh note at the 2:12 mark, and her fellow “Dimensioners” lift it even higher with their pillowy harmonies behind her. Damn! I still have my original Bell 45-single of this “I'm not hearbroken, but I'm heartbroken” classic.

Since my youthful days, I fell in love with this song. Really soothing and refreshing to the mind, this classic will never leave my memory until I go. As to the group, their popularity was never as such reenforced by media as the many other contemporary groups of their time. Therefore, the names of the artistes were not known but because of such classic exhibited, indeed one couldn't miss to know who they were. Thanks for this presentation.

I think Glee is introducing classics to the youth.. but you can't compete with the originals.. .it is like when studios release new versions of classic movies.. it just isn't the same.. you can never capture that first time experience no matter who sings it the second time or who acts the part the second time around.. I love orginals and no one can sing this with the emotion or soul as the original 5th dimension group ♥♥

@dirtyedna yeah, the 70s was probably the last vestage of real naturally made music......before all the synth's and computers got involved

@inkey2 yeah...but when i hear music from the early years of the 80s...the 4 years 1980-1983 i still think that it was better then too than actual XXIst century music...
But i ve got to recognise that the very best music was from the 60s and 70s

@inkey2 yeh, maybe......... still good music today though...! And yet, Marilyn Macoo does this song it's due. Never been a better rendition.... might never be!

@rayjr62 -so very true! I have told my kids more than once that they will never know the thrill of turning on the radio because I could not wait to hear the new music that was "out". So much talent, and we took it for granted. We lived during the golden age of pop music !

I remember back in the 70's when I used to hear this song it always made me cry, I don't cry when I hear it any more, but it sure brings back memories, and good ones at that. Wish we had good singers/song writers today who could bring back the music. It all started to leave w/disco....rap.....hiphop......now nothing. Somebody needs to bring the music back!!!!! I love this group and all their songs always have.

Silly as it may sound......... I hear Marilyn's voice singing 'One Less Bell' most of my day........... one of my absolute favorite songs of my life. No one could sing a song, this song, with such pure, raw emotion. Marilyn McCoo can't be outdone.

@billyboylb ...Streisand is talented, very talented, but she doesn't hold a candle to Marilyn McCoo on this song. Marilyn's voice is so very natural and her delivery is absolutely genuine. Noone sings this song better..!

@billyboylb Thanks billyboy................Her voice and soulful conviction is real. Her interpretation is spot-on....... Only Marilyn does this song it's due..... I respect your love of Barbara, ..... but Marilyn, and the 5th dimension own this tune forever. Thanks for the reply
Hesperus135 1 year ago 6
Marilyn McCoo is timeless and as far as I am concerned needs to be held in the
same regard as Karen Carpenter as far as her unique vocal intonation and
style that has never been followed or replicated She is a one and only truly
original vocalist and stylist and will stand the test of time.

This song is just unreal. The way she sings the lyrics. She's just working the words in a pure art form. The tempo, the lyrics themselves, the backing music, the background vocals. It's all one singular thing of perfection. Her performance is beyond belief. Her, low, thick, full-bodied voice. How she anunciates the words, the expressiveness of the delivery of the "thoughts and feelings" by the SUNG lyric. This has got to be among the greatest of the great songs of all time.
