last night I did'nt get to sleep at all by the 5th Dimension

[windstorm1000]

Great song--and band. I love the open quality of Marilyn's singing--its intimate and yet big as the outdoors--just love her tonal quality. "Class"

[gacj2010]

I saw the big fat guy and the other woman on the SS Norway once ...It was sad to see them trying to make the sound without Mariyn.

He seemed like a big crab and she was trying to be a diva and not doing well at it .

Marilyn Mc coo was everything in that group



[despinarabbit]

what a lovely comment-this takes me back too

[x1307x]

Zane

We all count. MM was one of the most beautiful WOMAN in the world. What a fantastic package.

[whyisthisnottyping]

Its 6:05 in the morning and I didn't sleep last night,so I typed it in and found this song lol

I like this song

[MrRN222]

Marilyn McCoo Sounds like an Angel. She and the Fifth D are under rated. Some of the best Sounds and Songs of all time came from them. Totally under rated as artists.

[Solipx]

Who thinks about race with a song like this. I was in fifth grade and I didn't know nor would I have cared if Marilyn McCoo was blue or green. And who cares what they looked like. This is music. Not a beauty contest. Yes Marilyn happens to be beautiful, but so what @Zane327 about the other female artists you named?

[dav1099]

OMG I miss the old 45's & 33's spent many many hours listing to them, the scratches and crackle was all part of the journey. cd's with the perfect sound are good but lack some. Marilyn McCoo rocks the house!

5*****

[jfry58]

I'm thinking of a lady I babysat for in 1972 - Pat. She died last week and although I haven't seen her in over 30 years, I've often thought about. She asked me once what I was going to do with the babysitting money I earned that night. I told her I was going to buy the 5th Dimension's new 45 "Last Night". She said "Oh, I love that song!!" Rest in Peace, Pat.

[snmnone]

@jfry58 sweet story. love this song

[Hanklebury]

@jfry58 Beautiful story. This song still takes me on a little vacation, just like it used to.

[vlyntr]

When did being African-American mean you are black-Lots of African-Americans are white!!-This song has nothing to do with the color of your skin or where from-Just a great oldie from a great fantastic singer! Love it!!

[blazzerv6]

such beautiful music

[Victor44413]

Heck I am white, no you don't have to be afrcan american to be so totally in love with this beauful woman and voice........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Mariabete54]

Uma das minhas preferidas. Quantas lembranças do Colégio Interno.

[mustang73ism]

I remember my high school English teacher playing this record as a joke before

giving us our final Exam 1973.

[vlyntr]

@mustang73ism

wow what a great sense of humor!

[gyellowmoon]

I think Marilyn's voice is like a smooth cognac goes down nice and easy!

[RTT8001]

So many memories here as a boy in the Summer of 72. This got heavy rotation in New York.

Today Fox News would accuse them of promoting drug abuse by referring to using sleeping pills.

[Chachiman25]

Great Tune,,,,,I so miss the clicks of my favourite albums

[Noex63]

One of my favourite songs...sung by one of the most stunning female vocalist...EVER!!!

[marls10191]

yall missed the point of this vid. a 45lp can still play without skipping! and another winner ladies and gents

[hitomusic]

the way she sings " I....I.......I...." starting at 0:40 through 0:44. Okay, that is just unreal fabulous and masterful.

[MrBama27]

Marilyn ranks up there with Dorothy Dandrige,Diane Caroll, and Theresa Graves(Get Christy Love). She is class and elegance. Woman of today should take notice of some of our soul sisters of yesteryears. History is our greatest teacher. A Wonderful woman.

[rainwrap]

aretha and and gladys can hit those notes that marilyn does.

[Dude2Hot2BStr8]

I grew up on this stuff. We had an 8 Track player in both the car and in the living room!

[brigittmontanez]

That's a bad jam right there, i have such good memories as a kid listening to that play on the long ass stereo mom had in the living room, i tell you, back then,they were like 10 feet long, lol, so funny, love them 45's thanks for sharing and taking back to a wonderful place in mylife. God Bless You, bro

[ilovecats748]

this makes me really want to buy a record player =p, how hard is it to find records?

[hehnr]

@ilovecats748: not difficult at all. in fact, some big electronic stores (you know but i won't name, initials bb). you can also buy them online, yard sales, record stores, flea markets...

[Dude2Hot2BStr8]

@ilovecats748 Look at Goodwill for records. They are always stocked to the max with your pick of anything you might possibly want!

[smilingypsygirl]

Billy and Marilyn were friends of my mother's. I get to come here and relive some of the best days of my life and get to feel my mother around me. It doesn't get too much better than this.

[bangitslo]

@smilingypsygirl I was 8 years old when I first saw Marilyn McCoo. I always believed she would be my wife. I'm now 50 and I still believe it. I'm waiting Marilyn!

[ModfathersGunMoll]

I love this...a beautiful, classic song by the very classy Fifth Dimension, on a 45!! I love hearing old records...There's nothing like the warm sound, the pops and scratches to make me feel nostalgic and all fuzzy inside! Thanks for posting this!!

[CarlD2]

I had the cassette of their greatest hits and I would play this song over and over...

[godzbxdiva]

Nice to see I wasn't the only kid loving these "lovesick" songs way back when. The 60's music was so great! Thanks for posting this.

[huiohana5]

Mahalo, joepro, for your time & effort! Love Marilyn McCoo's voice and this one is near the top of my fav's...I was just a itty bitty kid when this song came out but it's amazing what memories of what you did back when you heard it on the A.M. radio...oh, and the phonograph also brings back great nostalgia & giggles of days I would play all the 45's & act like I was a DJ too...thanx again!

[qimissung]

I used to love this song. It's still a good song.

[ndhudecz]

What a voice.............

[frendo21]

I had this 45,, so i guess I must have played it and watched the record spin around like that, I cant remember though,,

[john111257]

beautiful...i had this on vinyl

[cbowman61]

i want to feel this way again

[msdefender]

love this song!!! playing the 45 was a great touch. i remember those days. thanks for the memories

[Mikey454545able1]

great song of the 5th demention

[icegirl71388]

Fifth Dimension was a great group, love Marilyn Mccoo. One Less Bell to Answer and this song is unforgettable!

[THESOULbornold]

i would still have this 45 if my little sister hadnt of turned it into a frizbe.

[qimissung]

@THESOULbornold

that's a little sister for you, lol.

[nodonjuan]

I was 5 years old when this song came out. My family went to a dinner in L.A. with a small jukebox thing on the tables and my mom used to play The Four Tops, The 5th. Dimension and Santana. I still like them all.

[burbonboy]

something haunting about the 5th Dimension's songs.

[StopStealingVideos]

"BEWARE" Ytube name (heavenlynatural) who uploads your vid and puts them on his page tief and fraud I appreciate peoples hard work and time and to be uniqie not for orther people to copy with there bullshit digital copies.!

[thewayilook2night]

pass the Ambien....

[drev2007]

authentically warped! phonographic sound....just a little grammer correction. but love it thanks

[wscotty9]

some body needs to write a book about why music is soo bad today.

[jdukulele]

Marilyn was and still is a very beautiful woman. She is the essence of class. Her voice is fantastic and she has always been one of my favorite woman singers. Her voice is instantly recognisable and you know it's her singing.

[Mikakk2]

ill listen to this a million times over any of that droopy pants showing off your dirty underwear music anyday

[pegsinpain]

it dont get better than this EVER EVER EVER

[noahf67]

Closest I've ever heard to the level of The 5th Dimension might have been another short-lived Bell act, The Groop.

[CougarInteractive]

HAHA ! Yeah ! Those good ole POPS sound in the vinyl at the beginning of the record song !!! Yep, that's where you held the vinyl, so that is where those good old pops were always heard. lol :-D and it's BELL records! BELL ! -ding dong - It's great to see that old bell label go round in circles too! :-)

[drev2007]

very nice!! one of my favs as a little boy.. i think mine had the same scratches!!  love it thanks for putting it up for us...

[Janet1968]

Ahh 45's - I remember those! Great music cannot be truly appreciated unless you hear a warped, scratchy version at least once. Love this song. Thanks for posting!

[sfwaller]

when I was a kid, she got me thru the night--great soothing and loving voice.

[thestevo46]

beautiful,preserve the vinyl,forever,lets show the kids what million sellers were.

[tbirdtricia]

sent this as a share to someone very special in my life!!:)

[Zane327]

I'm not black (so I might not count ;) but I think Marilyn McCoo is the most beautiful black woman to have ever graced the planet with a voice much softer and prettier than her great contemporaries, Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick, etc. I melt when I look at her

[fadguru]

You ain't alone dude!!! She's just got it!

[nightowlhunter2]

@Zane327 I agree. I'd put her in the same category as Gladys Knight. I simply adore her voice and she has/had a unique beauty to her.

[nightowlhunter2]

@Zane327 I agree. I'd put her in the same category as Gladys Knight. I simply adore her voice and she has/had a unique beauty to her. 

[nightowlhunter2]

@Zane327 I agree. I'd put her in the same category as Gladys Knight. I simply adore her voice and she has/had a unique beauty to her.

[favorsonme]

@Zane327 Okay, so I do agree with you BUT I am a Dionne Warwick junkie so I have to disagree you you that her voice is softer and prettier than Dionne's. I actually think Dionne's voice is softer (in her 60's hey day) and I'm not going to say who's voice is prettier because they both have pretty voices. Two different styles, each in a class of their own.

[veeganboy]

@Zane327 :I don't think you need to have a particular skin color to appreciate beauty in all of it's forms. When she sings, I'm sure she's not just singing to black people.The same way a white singer isn't just singing to white listeners. Great music, and great voices, transcend color. Better yet, just close your eyes and enjoy!

[6153calme]

@Zane327 U count, she does possess a beautiful voice ..............I would not say it's prettier those mentioned becuz they also had beautiful voices and still do.........these 3, include Barbara S w/them & some of the female groups of their era r all so talented it's just hard to pick 1 above the other they were all great, & let's not 4get the male solo/group of that era .....................ooooooooo­o...do we miss them.

[911insidejo8]

@Zane327 ...well her voice is much prettier but on the other hand, that purity of tone and utter lack of any kind of grittiness doesn't always render singers very convincing on vinyl. McCoo, however, has enough of an intuitive sense as a singer to get those naunce's of expression in her records which makes her a pleasure to listen to, unlike airheads like Mariah Carey.

[DoshUnScripted]

@Zane327 HOW DAAAAAAAAAAAARE YOU a non-black person give a compliment about a black woman... OMG>>> this is an ABOMINATION !!! .... I will be writting a letter to my senator about this !!! giving compliments, COMPLIMENTS about a black person and he's not black... who would have heard of such a thing... how four... i mean, It just ain't right. Who does that kind o thing? I need my pills I need to call my doctor Isn't there a law. I better call my lawyer What is the world coming too? (lol)

[TheROSES1236]

I really love this sweet song... just great.

thankyou.

[lifeinpictures]

A few months back I operated a spotlight for Marilyn and bill, She is still HOT and they both rocked!!

I'm half her age and I Love her!!!

[zatoth13]

the songs you are putting on remind me of when i was a kid.

and marilyn mccoo was an awesome singer.

[lookatthesparkels]

i was a kid back then . and i was in love with a black women in my congergation.. im 50 years old now. .. I wish i would have told her i loved her then.... I miss thinking what might have been. i miss you charllette , . I always loved you..

[selmep]

Hope you find her

[milface]

just get some bitches and shit.

[msredboot7]

i still have all my old 45's from the 60's and 70'....my treasures, I didnt realize how many hits the 5th D had, they sure didnt get enuff credit, ♥ them

[ButchMSLPig]

BKWiley is NUTS .. saying Marilyn doesnt have the great vocals of Aretha or Gladys .. I guess that 4 octave range doesn't count for much ..

[MsTexas73]

Right. And as for her not singing with more 'soul"...I disagree..."Soul" comes in many variations...and if you don't think she's got it...take a listen to this again...and Love Lines Angles and Rhymes...and One Less Bell to Answer...and Wedding Bell Blues...Stoned Soul Picnic...her duet with Billy on Every NIght and Together Let's Find Love...Listen to her background vocals on Too Poor to Die and Feelin Alright? and Harlem and My Song and Billy's version of Somebody Warm Like Me.

[MsTexas73]

And then listen to her songs with Billy later in the 70s...the whole I Hope You Get To Love in Time...Two of Us albums are mostly R&B.

Check the Video clip on here Titled "Annie Bright versus Marilyn McCoo"...the second song is a demo song put out by Marilyn and Billy BEFORE I Hope You Get to Love In Time was released...talk about FUNK/R&B/Disco...that song is HOT! I can't believe it WASN"T released.

Marilyn's "soul" was all over her songs...and in versatile forms.

[911insidejo8]

@ButchMS...Marilyn has phenomenal range but she has none of Franklin's grit. On the other hand, that's just not her style. I most certainly prefer Aretha but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the refined beauty of McCoo's singing as well, nor does it mean that McCoo is not a formidable singer in her own right.

[ButchMSLPig]

@911insidejo8 U R RIGHT that Marilyn has none of the grit of Aretha .. There R few that do .. he's the Queen of Soul after all .. But for the gentlemen to state that Marilyn doesn't have great vocals is just not true .. Because of her range, she hits notes that Aretha & Gladys don't .. As U said, their styles are different, not better or worse .. We should embrace what their voices bring to us emotionally instead of saying one is better than another .. just my opinion ...

[angeleyez77520]

I remember when i was a child in the early 70's. dad was still overseas. mom and i would drive to the commisary on base and this song would always be playing on the radio, mom would sing along and i would watch her and think she was singing to daddy. But on our trips to the base it seemed they always played this and JOY TO THE WORLD by three dog night. i liked when he sang about jeramiah the bullfrog being a friend and the fishes in the deep blue sea. such innocence. that was the 70's.

[balooby]

angeleyez77520,

My dad was stationed in Spangdahlem Germany just after his stint with Vietnam. He was never home, so I know what you are saying. My sister had this 45 and played it 24-7. I made fun of sis, but eventually I grew to love this song because it reminds me of her, and how much she missed Dad more than any of us younger boys.

[calixtomarquez]

Love song and angelical voices....it's a divine thing!!!!

[arlingtonandy]

killer....

[bucketofsomething]

Oh, the memories!  I still sing this song to this day.

[Russ821]

The 5th Dimension were a very special group of people. Great songs - this especally.

Russ821

[ValsHere]

What a nice memory....& can I ever relate to it even more now then......well then.

Thanks for sending it to me.

[LOMANDYO]

come one the 45's MAGIC so good xxcc

[OpieJohansen]

When I was a little kid, my family and I would go out to Belle Isle (Detroit, Mi.) on weekends in summer (early 70's) and this song would be on the radio! I would get so frickin' depressed (even at the age of 6 or 7)!!!

Marilyn McCoo Rocks!!!!

[bkwiley]

Yes, and the song is still being played today.

Beautiful, 5th was mainly a Pop Band, but the vocals were great. A typical group from California during the late 60's & early 70's

M, has a beautiful voice, she fronted for the group, but she did not have the great vocals of Aretha, Gladys, M was more in line with Dionne, who sanged Pop with a flare of Soul & R&B

[sagahammer]

bkwiley wrote: ".....she fronted for the group, but she did not have the great vocals of Aretha, Gladys,.."

Er.. yes she did and she was much better in most departments of singing, vast vocal range, dynamics, and power without resorting to shouting like Aretha, Whitney etc.

[mugsysmom62]

lmao..I was ten years old when this came out..I remember my sister playing this on the record player untill it warped~ Thanks for the memories!

[ButchMSLPig]

and to think Marilyn thought the song was too corny to record .. can't imagine any thing she sings corny .. lol

[1spj]

nice memories :) thank you

[SZSearcher]

Another classic I enjoyed to listen to in high school... thanks for the memories...

[lcd888]

Spring of 1972.

[jackdav34]

A wonderful song. Thank you.

[pinetar]

Thanks for posting this. On my setup, this doesn't have the clarity the 45 should have, it is probably because of all the digital stuff in the modern chain of signals. But still, the 45 rpm source has the warm, human sound that made this music so great. Thanks, post whatever 45's you have, they've got the genuine sound. The only thing better are the orginal analog tapes from the studio, and none of us will ever get a chance to hear those...But buy the CD to support the artists!

[philipcarol]

The song'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.

[hitomusic]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded in the history of music. The whole thing from beginning to end is utter perfection. The lead vocal (M. McCoo's big, deep, gorgeous voice), the lyrics, the verse, the background vocals, the lead-in, the chorus, the bridge, the fade-away; perfection. The song is just unbelievable.

[suckemupsouthpoint]

It's true. My B&O table and cartridge was 1100 US dollars in 1984. 500 dollars was the price for the MMC1, which is the stylus.

[screamingeagle57]

This is what I love about youtube. All these wonderful songs that I haven't heard in so long. And to see an actual record playing on a record player makes me cry!

[elroto]

I cant believe that a stylus still costs as much as the bloody record player!!

[tomtv1]

My God I'm 13 years old again!

[Japanese1970]

The Song sums up the Affairs of Heart.

Pride is a poison to all relationship.

No sleeping pills could induce sleep

for deep inside everything is

crumbling because of the failure to

reconcile differences.

[airbender0203]

I loved my 45 collection! What a great song!

[heartbeat3]

A great song. Just flows along.

[VirginSuicide77]

This is AMANDA WIND-MILL COOKIE'S top cut!

Long live "Sweet Thangs"

[shellswaves]

I love this song. When I was MUCH younger, I remember playing it over and over again on one of those portable cassette recorders...the ones you pushed 2 buttons to start recording. Technology has come a long way since then, but this is STILL a great song.

[mafketays]

This is one of the most perfect pop vocals ever. Just heaven from beginning to end.

[CultureSchock]

What a voice, what a beautiful lady. Would love to see a clip of this song....thanks for posting.

[sjellis1955]

such a lovely melody....its taken me years to track this song down....thankgod for youtube!!

[joshzbest]

my heart just melts when I hear marilyn sing..and well, I like chick flicks too..thanks for the memories

[alisabeth08]

i loooove this song.
