The 5th Dimension at the 1972 Grammy Awards

An early glimpse of the amusing husband-and-wife banter between Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. and a sampling of the individual voices of the other Fifth Dimension members Florence La Rue, Ron Townson, and Lamonte McLemore as they present the award for best performance by a duo/group during the 1972 Grammy Awards. This same award was won early on twice by the 5th Dimension for "Up Up and Away" and "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In". Some years later, Marilyn and Billy will also win as a duo for their hit song "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)".

The harmonies of the 5th Dimension has yet to be topped by any ground. They all had perfect voices.

A total delight, Marilyn is quite funny trying to do 5th's songs during this (quite spunky!)...but also nails The Carpenter's song, I think she could have covered several of Karen & Richard's songs to wonderful effect.!

What a group! Great band!

I like this clip. It really shows just how much versatile they are as a group. I loved Ms. McCoo's rendition of rainy days and mondays.

Great hearing Ron out in front if only for a few seconds. Too bad he didn't get matched with any material that was fit for him to do.

This is not only classic talent - this is classically-talented-talent, with a twist of humor!!! Is there "ANYTHING" that the 5th Dimension CAN'T DO to entertain an audience!?!? :

@broondalolo I don't think so. I think they looked like they were waiting to see what would happen.
