Marilyn and Florence are breathtakingly beautiful but also insanly gifted vocalists. Todays talent free autotune generation of female artists should study these black music giants to see what real star power looks like. 5D are true next level artists.

Between '67 and '72 the 5th Dimension were seen all over TV in just about every format of the time, Late nite, Variety, Teen music shows, Educational (I believe they were even on Sesame Street), even prime-time drama shows of the day (It Takes A Thief). Any time they showed up on television in the 60's (which was quite often) I always fixated, for some reason, on Florence LaRue. Yes this 11 y.o. white boy had a major crush on Miss Florence LaRue!

Seems to me that Marilyn and Ron are the real movers; considering the soulful moves they make with their bodies. But, that aside, the individual group member's voice control and range are the best; each and everyone of them. We're all very fortunate for all the entertainment they've provided over so many years.
