Nick Ashford's version of "California soul" on a Verve DJ promo. I'm not certain if his version came first, but Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell tackle this on their last LP "Easy"...a great single
@denknee Actually, Lamonte' McLemore wrote two songs for the 5th Dimension..."A Love Like Ours" on the Portrait album and "the Singer" on the Love Lines Angles and Rhymes album.
@tahoeshgrl The 5th Dimension never WROTE any of their songs. They DID do a fine version of this song, tho, I must say. Marlena Shaw's version is probably my fav tho.

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell recorded this song before the Fifth Dimension.
Motown pushed the Onion Song as the initial 45 from the album Easy.
