The Fifth Dimension today : Florence LaRue, Floyd Smith, Leonard Tucker, Sidney Jacobs, and Patrice MorrisFrom ramshackle horse and buggy wagons to today’s sleek Uber rides, ever since taxis became a mode of transportation, passengers have been leaving things behind in them. But only once did such a forgetfulness result in a chart-topping No. 1 hit record.It was 1968 when vocal group the Fifth Dimension—Billy Davis Jr.
When the group returned to California to record the tune, producer Bones Howe called it “half a song” and said it needed something else. He felt the singalong quality show’s last number “The Flesh Failures ” would make a good add-on.album had already been out,” LaRue says. “But he came back to us and said let’s put ‘Let the Sunshine In’ with it. And that was the record.”
They’d reach No. 1 again with “Wedding Bell Blues” and also had hits with “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Sweet Blindness,” “Up, Up and Away,” “One Less Bell to Answer,” “Workin’ on a Groovy Thing,” “ I Didn’t Get to Sleep at All” and “California Soul.” And they often went to the well of songwriters Jimmy Webb and Laura Nyro.
“The Frank Sinatra show was one of my favorites. And we had already toured with him. But that outfit!” LaRue laughs. “And the next would be Ed Sullivan. He was so great to perform for. Most people thought of him as very stoic, but he had a keen sense of humor. And he was very kind.” “I feel responsible to carry on the tradition, as well as perform the hits as they were written with the same arrangements. People don’t want to hear updated versions of the songs, and they always come up to us afterwards and say ‘Oh, that reminded me of my graduation,’ or this or that.” she says.
McCoo took the lead female vocals on the lion’s share of Fifth Dimension songs, LaRue did put down some on her own. Just don’t ask her to pick the one that she likes the best.
