Marilyn and Florence are superb examples of graceful aging

Indeed...graceful aging..."As of 1991"; this was videotaped going on nearly "34" years ago, as of here in 2024...and only "23" years had past when "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" was first recorded in late 1968...so, it's all a matter of perspective. Unfortunately, time does not hold back for no one; we sadly lost tenor Ronald Townson in August of 2001, more than 20 years ago. Time stops for nobody...BUT...continues...in "The Age Of Aquarius"...where The Sun always Shines! BolsaChicaRadio

They are far from underrated. 9 Grammy nominations/6 awards including 2 Records of the Year for Up, Up and Away and Aquarius. One of those nominations was Album of the Year for Age of Aquarius. Plenty of recognition, much more than most of their competition ever received.

The only really successful, good, worth listening to, rock groups are those which practice endlessly and know their parts. The 5th Dimension has that ability. Their parts are locked in and rote. No guessing at whether they'll be on key or not. They hit it every time. It's sad to have to face the reality of their aging and passage in time. Thankfully, the music is on record forever.
