More talent and personality in five singers than any other American singing group of their day. Real singers who could truly make music worth listening to!

I was a little kid in the psychedelic 70's. I grew up watching the Flip Wilson Show, the Ed Sullivan Show, the Red. Skeleton Show, the Carol Burnett Show, Rowan and Martin's Laugh In Sock It To Me, and many others. How I sure miss that era.

When speaking about the music, the Fifth D's music is phenomenal and timeless. What's also phenomenal and timeless is the beauty of both of the ladies. Everyone's always talking about how beautiful Mrs Mccoo is which I completely agree she is. She was really the main reason I watched Solid Gold every week as a kid. That being said, I personally find Florence just as beautiful. I liked how she sort of got the spotlight here. Such a gorgeous lady. She was an absolute knock out in my book !

Agreed, I personally liked Florence over Marilyn, both are stunning ladies though, one of my all time favorite groups👍✌️
@vinniethefinger77812 жыл бұрын
Sinatra preferred Florence as do I. Apparently from what I've been reading and watching, Florence was getting most of the manly attention back in the day. They were both knockouts.

Not just a great singer; what a sexy speaking voice Florence has. I love Marilyn like the rest of them, but my eyes are always on Florence because when she sings and dances in the way only Ms. LaRue knows how, her beautiful eyes and dazzling smile light up the screen.

Believe it or not, about 25 years ago I was riding a shuttle bus between the Dorado Hilton and Dorado Beach Hotels, and I saw a familiar face. I asked, "Excuse me....are you Flip Wilson"? He say, "Yes". I said, "I loved your show....never missed it". He said, "Thanks". Nobody on the bus even blinked. He's looked great...and seamed a little surprised.
