Fifth Dimension

Redirected from The Fifth Dimension

The Fifth Dimension is an American popular music group, best-known during the late 1960s and 1970s for popularizing hits of songwriters like Jimmy Webb, Laura Nyro[?], Ashford & Simpson, and others, and helping to popularize "flower power[?]" music with both white and black middle-class Americans. Some of their most famous hits include:
  • "Up, Up, and Away"
  • "One Less Bell to Answer"
  • "Wedding Bell Blues"
  • "Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In"
  • "California Soul"
  • "Stone Soul Picnic"
  • "Workin' on a Groovy Thing"

Some of the songwriters popularised by The Fifth Dimension later went on to careers[?] of their own, especially Ashford & Simpson, and two members of the group gained later fame under the own names as Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.
