Good God Almighty.......

[acoleman7475]

This is just scary good. After all these years, to sound like that is just...AMAZING!!!

[friaraidan]

@acoleman7475 Thank God you got the phrase Scary Good-I cannot believe this is better than the original-

She should be Marilyn Mc COOOOOL

PERFECTION! ON RYE BREAD : )

[amd77j]

Timeless talent that touches those around you. Incredible performance. Even after all these years. Lovely. Thanks for posting!

[jba2323]

WOW

[mrjoshjones1]

Is this a PERFORMANCE or what!

Masterful.

[zebbie2000]

You think she was impressive? Man these young chicks don't know how to blow. Its called about 40 someodd years marinating that voice. Gladys Knight is another example. Patti as well. Their voices got better with time.

[notbatman1000]

HBO should do a Special with Marilyn! The best voice ever!

[MsTexas73]

@notbatman1000 WORD!...she and Billy are touring...HBO need to jump on it...and catch them at one of their venues.

[mrjoshjones1]

@MsTexas73 I second that emotion!!!!!!!!

[MsTexas73]

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for Ms. Marilyn. *she broke her hip last weekend*.

[maineboy1979]

Marilyn is 66 years old. Can you believe that? She doesn't look it, and she definitely doesn't sound it. Not many people still sound this good at that age! And her husband and fellow 5th Dimension member, Billy Davis Jr., is 72 years old. Both of them are truly remarkable. I wish I could see them live in concert.

[deanasimms]

She's still fine as hell!

[maineboy1979]

Wow. That's really all I can say is just wow!

Still singing it in the same key she sang it 40 years ago, and still hitting the same notes... she is nothing short of amazing.

[HaliB75]

She was a girl when she recorded it and NOW she is SANGIN' it like a woman. She knows what she is talkin' about now!!!

[MsTexas73]

SOOOO True. Although she sang it pretty believably even back then. At least from what I saw of her performances of it on Sullivan and on the Travelling Sunshine Show.

[ButchMSLPig]

I get GOOSE BUMPS every time I listen to this live version .. Still AMAZING after over 40 yrs in the BIZness ..

[MsTexas73]

It is an Amazing performance. I absolutely lurve that her voice is still STRONG and CLEAR. And her range is still THERE.

[oldbag699]

ty ty ty this is beautiful

[MsTexas73]

You know...I truly believe that with this arrangement *which is just a tinch more mordern than the original*, Marilyn could release a new studio version of this song and it would knock all these youngsters off the charts. THAT"S just how phenomenal her voice STILL is.

[MsTexas73]

DAAAAAAYUM!...SANG IT MARILYN!!!

[ButchMSLPig]

Marilyn & her crystal clear 4 octave range .. Thnx for the ADD !

[MsTexas73]

You know what Butch, it sounds like Marilyn can probably go up to that 5th octive easily.

[ButchMSLPig]

yeah its amazing on all those 5th's songs where she was singing the high part .. U can clearly hear her & what a difference it makes to all those hits

[MsTexas73]

ICAM.

And I cannot imagine what the songs would be like had she not performed on them because when I think about the 5th Dimension 'sound"...Marilyn's voice is top of the list as to what that sound is.

[ButchMSLPig]

I AGREE .. Even on most of the parts she sings together with FLO, her voice usually stands out & U can hear her distinctly .. She was the reason I loved the 5th ..

[MsTexas73]

Right. I really just wasn't the same when she left. I can understand her reasons for leaving though.

[MsTexas73]

That should say "IT" wasn't the same when she left.
