In 1967, a little known singing group called The 5th Dimension
recorded a song called Up, Up, and Away, which turned out to
be one of the biggest smash hits in music history. The single
won several Grammy Awards, The Fifth Dimension catapulted to
stardom, and their story has been one of success ever since.
Today, The 5th Dimension is one of the most popular singing
groups in the world. They have released over a dozen hit albums
and received 14 gold records. Their classics include such hits
as: Aquaris/Let the Sunshine in, One Less Bell to Answer, The
Worst That Could Happen, This is Your Life, Wedding Bell Blues,
Stoned Soul Picnic, and Go Where You Wanna Go.
The 5th Dimension headline in both Las Vegas and Atlantic City
regularly and tour exclusively throughout the rest of the United
States, Europe, and the Orient. The 5th Dimension's personal
appearance itinerary places them on the world's most glamorous
stages for over 30 weeks each calendar year. In growing and
changing with the times, The 5th Dimension has continued to
appeal to a wide audience with their upbeat, easy listening
sound.
Preferring to be innovators rather than imitators, original
members Florence LaRue, Lamonte McLemore and Ron Townson, along
with Michael Procter and Phyllis Battle, have put together a
show and sound that is distinctively-their own, with more vocal
range than ever and material that is fresh and varied. "People
who come to hear The 5th Dimension expect to hear some of our
hits," says Florence, "so, of course, they are included,
but we are more versatile and spontaneous now than we were in
the past."
A major portion of The 5th Dimension's performing itinerary
includes concerts with the world's most prestigious symphonies
each year, and a wide variety of television guesting including
their own special, "The 5th Dimension - Live at Caesars,"
via satellite which aired last fall. Another television special,
"The 5th Dimension and The Omaha Symphony Orchestra"
for PBS has provided a widening visibility for The 5th Dimension.
They have appeared on NBC's Disneyland Summer Vacation Special,
The Today Show and most recently stared in a television special
for the German National Television.
Recently, The 5th Dimension made theatrical history as the
first musical group to ever perform a Broadway Musical in its
entirety, when they starred in the national tour of the Tony
Award winning musical "Ain't Misbehavin'."
Each show that The 5th Dimension presents is a varied and exciting
evening of entertainment for its audiences. The combined efforts
of the group's five members creates an event of sonic and visual
energy that is infrequently found on the entertainment scene.
Perhaps a recent reviewer (David Spatz of The Atlantic City
Press) said it best, when earlier this year, his critique of
The 5th Dimension at Caesars Palace stated: "Personnel
changes have done little to effect the overall quality of The
5th Dimension's sound. The blend of voices is giving The 5th
dimension a well deserved reputation for producing some of the
cleanest sounding music of this era. The group is comprised
of five very different personalities and contrasting voices,
that have set a standard for musical quality, few groups could
ever hope to match."
