[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

one of my top five female vocalist from L.A. marilyn mccoo can you react to wedding bell blues a cover from another great vocalist laura nyro check her out !

[@dorkyvonmunchmunch9912]

Marilyn McCoo is legit one of the most underrated and underappreciated vocalists. Just so velvety and rich. 5th Dimension had a good run. A lot of good music and a lot of cheese (no muffins) as well. I wish they got the attention today that other artists of the time get. Great reaction.

[@larrylindgren9484]

She didn't even to be the lead singer. She was (pulled) forced into it and well good for us I'd say.

[@MaBer-67391]

When this song came out, I was a dumb teenager who thought they were boring. I now appreciate the beauty of this song, and The 5th Dimension as a whole.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Ditto here lol

[@strydershadow391]

I was a preteen and had the biggest crush on Marilyn after seeing her performance on the Ed Sullivan show, so I just loved anything she sang. Let the Sunshine,

[@steveullrich7737]

Same here...such perfection and passion!

[@ericzeichert511]

After the Fifth Dimension parted ways, the marital and business partnership of "Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr." continued on as a duet, and had another string of monster hits, and they just had a concert in Redlands CA, accordting to their website, and Facebook. Happy early birthday to Marilyn, who celebrates exactly one month from today (Sept. 30). The interwebs say she will be 81.

[@TranquiloTrev]

I am 73 years old, and have been a fan of Marilyn and The Fifth Dimension for over 50 years. She is my favourite female singer, and without doubt the prettiest singer EVER.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. 🤗💖 Hope to see you on our livestream in less than 1 hour as we are doing Anne Murray reactions and many, many more: kzbin.info41ZNlGfjjcE

[@garyvandecar2580]

Who doesn't love the golden voice of Miss Marilyn McCoo.

[@lamusiclover2264]

The lead female singer, Marilyn McCoo has a gorgeous voice, and her husband, Billy Davis Jr., also in the group, has a wonderful voice too. In the 70's, they had a few songs as a duet. This is a classic song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

[@binslick1000]

A beautiful woman with an extraordinary voice.

[@steelers6titles]

Many hits, including Laura Nyro's "Wedding Bell Blues", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", and "Save The Country".

[@michaelmonce1053]

Nerd out as much as you want. One of the best reactions you've done!

[@squidkid2]

People forget that at the time these great singers had a deep well of material to work with. In this case the song was by written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David who wrote hit after hit for Dionne Warwick. So be sure to give kudos to the writers of these classic songs. Without this material these singers would be like a Ferrari without gasoline.

[@joepowell7025]

Marilyn McCoo is a legend and underrated but definately in the top10 of all time female singers.

[@bumperu]

I saw them in the early 70s and that's when I fell in love with Marilyn McCoo. She had many more hits with them and on her own. Fantastic voice!!! You need to check out, If I Could Reach You. She is featured and it will blow you away!!!

[@wfemp_4730]

She's pretty easy on the eyes, too!

[@mebpratt859]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. I saw them in the early 70’s and it ranks as one of the best concerts I’ve ever heard.

[@Sp33gan]

It's so true, Maggie! Marilyn McCoo has one of the purest and most beautiful voices Pop has ever had. The 5th Dimension released a string of great 60's Pop classics that perfectly encapsulate the feeling of the mid to later years of the decade. This song echoes the events of the late 60s/early 70s when divorce suddenly seemed a better option for so many long time marriages. Not only did it become easier to separate, it was at the height of the "free love' era when middle aged men felt the need to do what couldn't be possible in earlier times. It was also at this time when women were first having the understanding that they didn't have to put up with an unhappy relationship. For many, divorce wasn't always the best solution but it was a part of the times we lived in. In the end, better to live alone than to suffer in an unhappy, or unhealthy, relationship.

Yes. Marilyn Mccoo's voice is pristine and technically wonderful. However, she also brings so much raw emotion to this song that makes her performance moving and soulful.

[@ericarachel55]

being born in 1955 I grew up with the 30's 40's 50' 60' 70' music, we were blessed with wonderful sounds

[@dantean]

Thank you for this. Her voice is FREAKING AMAZING. I've loved the 5th since I was a boy and they were still making hits like this. ALL their albums are worth listening to.

[@markparker5788]

My friend and I played Wedding Bell Blues on our radio show a few years ago, and during the time our microphones were muted, we couldn't help but sing along!

[@rparret]

Beautiful song. Marilyn McCoo was so good. Great reaction, Maggie.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you!! ❤️🐧❤️

[@Jimfrenchde]

We can also understand every word she sang. Enunciating the words clearly is also very important.

[@tommarks3726]

One of my favorite songs. She is so smooth and loving in her voice.

[@sherigrow6480]

We loved her and them so much. Their first hit was Up Up and Away, which I still love,

[@ciscoralmazora289]

Thought I had to mention this song is Burt Bacharach, lyrics by Hal David. Back in the '70s, you couldn't swing a cat without hitting one of the countless stars who found fame covering the Bacharach portfolio. Dionne Warwick, Marilyn McCoo here, Karen Carpenter, must have been Barbra Streisand or Aretha Franklin, Herb Alpert... this era boggles the mind! 😄😉

[@larrylindgren9484]

McCoo got lost in a sea of great music in the time frame and never got her due. She a top 5 female vocalist of all time. Smooth as silk.

[@veadairavani5692]

My phrase for the day. "Holy cheese muffins!" Anyhow, Marilyn McCoo has one of the most underappreciated voices in popular music.

[@ChuckHackney]

Kudos to Burt and Hal for this song. Paired with A House is not a home, and you have transcendant music.

[@busterandloulou]

I’m soooo glad that you are back. Missed you.

[@plantlord3266]

classic song -grew up with them-Age of Aquarius is another classic

[@stanchase9705]

This song was first performed on the TV show, "It Takes A Thief," starring Robert Wagner and Fred Astaire.

[@scottbenda9931]

Nothing beats pure talent. Great take on the voice style.

[@kallsop2]

I was so fortunate to be exposed as a kid to such a variety of music when I was a child in the 60's and 70's and i just soaked it up. I remember hearing this after Age Of Aquarius and really liking it. Marylin was one of the great natural talent singers of the era, shes there with Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Barbara Streisand. Just beautiful vocals.

[@jmcosmos]

Well, my effin' Gawd, Maggie ... this is the bloody Fifth Dimension, singing Bacharach and David! It don't *GET* any better than this!! And you're listening to Marilyn McCoo on lead, who could sing the _phone book_ and make people love it! (I have all this on original vinyl, and would *NEVER* take for it!)

[@rhondaserges5136]

The jaw drop was sensational when Marilyn started singing.

[@СтепанХромов-ь7л]

Hi Maggie! My name is Stepan, I'm from Russia. I admit, your assessment, the process of watching and commenting on the video and the real energy emanating from you amazes me. I especially liked your reaction to the band Bon Jovi. I started listening to rock with the band Bon Jovi. Your reaction amazed me and drew my attention to many things that I had not noticed. Thank you for such a comprehensive review. I will be glad if you appreciate another Bon Jovi video - born to be my baby. This video combines perfectly, just like me. Composition, text and another behind-the-scenes view. And all this is imbued with the crazy energy of all participants. I will be extremely glad if you respond. 

[@BruceWeaver-hw7bt]

Had the privilege of seeing the Fifth Dimension on the Lawn of the University of Virginia, May 1967. It was absolutely magical. Thanks for reacting to this

[@angelado3]

Loved this group so much !!

[@mikenolan8044]

Fabulous video! Terrific reaction and analysis!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you!! ❤️🐕❤️

[@joannerichards1750]

Marilyn McCoo pulls at my heartstrings every time I hear this song. I too sang semi-professionally in light opera (G & S). I understand the technical perfection of Ms. McCoo's delivery. I love her to death!!!!

[@rubroken]

Maggie, you should occasionally do duets with the singers on your reactions.They sound soooo good.

[@chrislong5416]

I find it hard to believe that you haven't heard this. I grew up with 'The 5th Dimension'. (but I'm old)

[@Mr17051963]

Great choice, Maggie! I’m just arrived. ✌️ Great reaction, too!

[@Hollingsworth2781]

Marilyn McCoo is one of the greatest singers of the 60s and 70s. She could do it all.

[@michaelway7936]

Next up should be: Last Night(I didn't get to sleep at all),Marilyn is a treasure

[@happymethehappyone8300]

I would love to hear you cover this one Maggie,, I think that it totally suits you & it would be beautiful. ❤

[@bradjustbrad]

I was going to suggest this, but I just found this vid. Awesome!

[@barinee78]

So thrilled to have seen her on Broadway in Showboat.

[@PatR2243]

Just got here and loving this. Thanks Roy for sponsering my trip to Memoryland.

[@robertlear2712]

Such a clever and entertaining song. And perfect execution.

[@Cbcw76]

Holy Bacharach, Batman... what a great song. I think this could be Hal David's best set of lyrics.

[@bradsense7431]

Maggie I think you would really appreciate their recording of “Love’s Lines, Angles and Rhymes”. It has such an incredible vocal to very unusual lyrics and arrangement. And backed with luscious instrumentation.

[@helgar791]

Marilyn McCoo, the singer here, also does a great job on two other of their hit songs, "I Didn't To Sleep At All" (my favorite) and "Wedding Bell Blues". She had a big hit with her husband Billy Davis, who was also a part of the 5th Dimension with "You Don't Have To Be A Star". This groups biggest hits were of course "Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In" and "Up Up And Away".

[@gordonschiff3621]

She is the prototype for Whitney Houston’s vocal style. Enough said.

[@alan-thealanyst]

Great choice Roy, and superb analysis Maggie - you really nailed this one!

[@bridgettedenise]

Great review

[@randallshuck2976]

Marvelous Marilyn McCoo stole my heart back in the early 70s. She could sing the phone book and I would never be tired of it. Ironically, although this song was about divorce she and fellow 5th Dimension singer, Billy Davis Jr. got married in 69 and are married still. In 2006 they released an album called Blackbird. Great choice.

[@michaelasay8587]

Maggie, sounds like you have a great voice!!😮😮😮

[@catherder78]

I crushed on Marilyn (for decades!), what a gorgeous woman and lovely singer. For those lucky few who saw the shows, the Fifth Dimension opened for the Carpenters at several venues in what would have been an incredible evening. Marilyn McCoo and Karen Carpenter, back-to-back. Nirvana.

[@davedavidm4996]

Well Miss Maggie I have heard so much of this group. One reason I had a major crush on Marilyn McCoo. I imagine many young men also did . 5th Dimension had many hits. Marilyn also cohosted a rock show with famous DJ Wolfman Jack Every Friday night at midnight hours of live music would be shown . Show was The Midnight Special All the great bands and solo singers wanted to be on that stage. Marilyn sang many solos and I had to say be still my heart LOL You should look deep into The 5th DiM. for your show and since you have a like voice you could do a cover song on your show

[@fire1777]

Marylyn has been married to Billy Davis Jr. since 1969. They had an act of their own and a variety show. Very talented couple.

[@Bladerunner007]

Fantastic!

[@racinnut77]

Marilyn McCoo is genetic perfection. I've had a crush on her since I was a kid.

[@nedworcester4395]

Every one loved Marilyn, and we still do. Have you heard Judith Durham of the Seekers? To me; another great voice.

[@reddragonready]

I had never heard of her..guess she wasn't all that big in Europe.

[@nedworcester4395]

@@reddragonready The Seeker; from Australia; active from early to mid 60’s. Type in the song “I’ll never find another You.”

[@reddragonready]

@@nedworcester4395 Cheers! I have no problem finding a singer or band on youtube. I am just saying that in my 62 years I had never heard of McCoo before. Which isn't saying anything about her abilities but just that she wasn't known in Europe

[@sasquatch885]

Don Cornelius’ Soul Train!

[@kallsop2]

Part of my weekends growing up along with The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.

[@Mycroftsbrother]

Yep. I used to have such a crush on Marilyn back in the day.😄

[@jimcarberry8262]

As young men we were in love with Marilyn McCoo

[@jessicagreene1773]

That's the music we grew up with, and think hundreds of groups performing to this level, new groups and hits almost every few weeks. It was such a good time.

[@bearballin]

More Marilyn (and the Fifth Dim): "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep", "Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes", "Stone Soul Picnic", "Working on a Groovy Thing", and of course the groups mega hit, "Aquarius/ Let The Sun Shine"

[@morbiouslenoir]

Marilyn McCoo was just so good. Try "Marry Me, Bill."

Hi Maggie, another song that shows Marilyn Mccoo's vocal prowess and technique is Last Night, I Didn't Get To Sleep At All.

[@marcuswood5975]

When I was a little boy I used to have the biggest crush on her

[@psilvers100]

I love, love, your comments. I would love to have you listen to my voice. People have constantly told me that I have a beautiful voice, but it doesn't seem to translate when I sing it online.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. I would be happy to react to your voice. Record a video of yourself singing and sponsor a reaction to your video. 💪💓💪

[@paulosergioalmeida1000]

I suggest for your reaction the talented Gabriel Henrique with the cover THE CLIMB

[@rakentrail]

Maggie, I'll bet you a Diet Coke that she learned her craft in church! She's like 80 now and when she was a kid singing in church was a family requirement!

[@tronchaser64]

She learned her trade in church. Just like Whitney Houston.

[@petermarchi1935]

This is/was music when you actually "needed to" actively study your craft!!!!

[@Amarti58]

I would recommend you reacting to Light Sings by the fifth dimension, it has great vocal demonstrations.

[@Amarti58]

Another great song from Burt Bacharach/Hal David.

[@TheWhanfried]

She is still alive. Reach out!

[@EconAdviser]

Gotta listen to Stoned Soul Picnic, I Didn't Get to Sleep at All, and Wedding Bell Blues of hers and 5th Dimension!

[@ChuckHackney]

The magnificent and so beautiful Marilyn McCoo. Her twin is Karen Carpenter. On the male side, David Gates. The three GOATS of modern pop music. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gordonschiff3621]

Disagree. Her twin is Whitney Houston not Karen Carpenter.

[@TangoEliott]

You must listen to Sweet Blindness.

[@reddragonready]

Maggie, have you heard Sydnie Christmas yet? Check out her cover of "My Way"

marilyn mccoo my top 5 female singer's in modern music !

[@rdr413]

You should react to if I could reach you... I think it's her best vocal.

[@rakentrail]

Marilyn McCoo's voice was sweeter than "Nanner Puddin"! Maggie? Autotune wasn't even invented back then!

[@madmaxx-uk3vy]

👍❤️❤️

[@nationaltrails9585]

Much like American Bandstand, I believe Soul Train host by Don Cornelius had performers lip-synch their songs, but ... however you heard this song ... you would come away with the realization that this singer possesses one of the best singing voices ever! And that singer would be Marilyn McCoo, with all due respect to The 5th Dimension, and yes, she is Totally Bea-u-tiful! and such a great song production. :)

[@christopherschafer7675]

And check out Florence LaRue's abbs! Best abbs ever in music. Abbs before abbs was a thing.

[@fredeerickbays]

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

Marilyn McCoo is still a beautiful woman today! Billy Davis is one lucky dude.

[@dffulmer1]

They had the best music during the 1970s! I had vinyl LP recordings of this group. Still fantastic! I am a baby-boomer. 🙏💖🌹

[@daveg.6820]

For amazing precision, remember Sohyang. 🤔

[@jamescox9427]

Wedding Bell Blues is another Fifth Dimension hit featuring Marilyn McCoo's wonderful voice. It is more up tempo and happier than this one. A great song that features the group is Stoned Soul Picnic. I think you would enjoy both.

[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

it's call your born with it you either have it or not by the way this is a burt bacharach and hal david song !

[@lyriasfaves]

Ooooo Marilyn has the most amazing voice and tone! Been listening all my life!

[@lyriasfaves]

My favorites as a child were always this one and Wedding Bell Blues.
