Original members Florence LaRue and Lamonte
McLemore, along with Phyllis Battle, Greg Walker, and Willie Williams
present a 5th Dimension Show and sound that is distinctly their own, featuring their
hits and also new material. They headline regularly in Las Vegas and
Atlantic City, and tour extensively in the United States, Europe, and
Asia.
Formed as the Versatiles in 1965, the slick quintet
changed its name at the request of
Johnny
Rivers, who had just signed them to his brand new label, Soul
City. Up-and-coming songwriter Jimmy Webb supplied the group with
their first pop smash "Up, Up and Away," in 1967, and the
group's monumental rise mirrored the song's high-flying imagery.
Another prolific composer, Laura Nyro, handed the 5th Dimension
several megahits, notably "Stoned Soul Picnic" and
"Wedding Bell Blues," but their biggest seller hailed from
the groundbreaking musical Hair. The Grammy-winning
"Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" held down the number one slot
on the pop lists for six weeks in 1969.
The members of the group are also doing solo
projects but will always perform regularly with the group. The Original 5th
Dimension did occasional reunion concerts through the 90's but
decided toward the end of the decade to call it quits. The 5th
Dimension, however, continue to perform with symphonies, on luxury
cruises and all over the world to satisfy their many fans. Their
career seems to always be Up Up & Away!
