It is definitely spiritual, and uplifting!! This is the music of my youth, and it is just so hopeful with a vision of the "dawning of the age of aquarius," a sense that a more enlightened world was about to come. Those outfits are so 70's!! Unfortunately we have-not gotten there yet; but I can never watch this video enough times and hope always remains.

[@JD_Cool]

Arguably the greatest bass line in music history.

[@joeb2588]

Its amazing

[@kerkroberts8875]

Mad Mad bass

[@wesleyartrip6765]

Makes me wanna just play air bass!!

[@garycolon4213]

Played by the late, great Joe Osborn. Here are just a few of the other famous records he played on: California Dreamin' (The Mamas & the Papas) Windy (The Association) Bridge over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel) Midnight Confessions (The Grass Roots) Ventura Highway (America) There are many, many more.

[@gerryfairchild9450]

That's Joe Osborn on bass.....RIP

[@rebeccaboch1552]

How does anyone grow up without having been exposed to the most beautiful music ever created?? The Fifth Dimension is one of the greatest classics of all time. My daughter grew up with the same great music that her father & I did. She's still thanking us.

[@wesleyartrip6765]

After 50 years I get the same smile you had once the Sunshine part comes in..a timeless song . I subscribed right away 👍

[@pamelajohnson6199]

Marilyn McCoos voice is singular

[@johnnyruiz8011]

When I listen to The fifth dimension all my neighbors listen to The fifth dimension..👽

[@josephstanton4872]

Brilliant summing up!

[@Giftedtib]

Straight up! Made to be on blast!!

[@josephstanton4872]

This song quickly became a phenomenon! It was the PERFECT song to sum up the PERFECT decade! It was a worldwide smash hit for them! They followed it with Up up and away, almost as big a hit! It's a song you NEVER tire of hearing! I feel sorry for people born in 90s, because you've only heard of Grunge, Rap or Techno! Therefore missing out, until now, all the real legends! Try these names just to start - Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley! My own favourite is Dean Martin, group is The Seekers! Plenty more names to tell you about! The Golden Era was between 50s - 70s! Happy listening and learning!

[@jgamb914]

Has a gospel feel to it. Grew up on this music. Loved it. T.Y.

[@theoriginalpublicnewsense]

Yep. I always think that's how I'd pray if I knew how.

[@jspartacus]

And amazing drums. Joe Osborn on bass and Hal Blaine on drums. Both members of the famous Wrecking Crew studio musicians. Look up Joe Osborn, he's played on hundreds of albums and famous songs.

[@johnandrews3151]

The Fifth Dimension/Love's Lines, Angles And Rhymes studio version. Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In is a medley. Another great medley by them is simply called Medley. You can find it by searching for Medley Remastered. It consists of three songs, The Declaration, A Change Has Gotta Come and People Got To Be Free. It is my favorite medley by the great Fifth Dimension.

[@zylphaaziza3725]

Very good…spiritual uplifting glorious something on the horizon…. the ☀️

[@abevillanueva1974]

really, a most underrated group of all-time! vocals are unsurpassed and for sure there is NO group with these vocals today!!! multi-Grammy winners back in the day!! "Up and Up and Away" is recommended next!

[@ericlevi5729]

It was written for a BROADWAY MUSICAL “HAIR” when released won 2 Grammy Awards best song Brest vocal performance 1969!!

[@hobbievk5119]

It is indeed two songs mashed together. Both songs are from the Broadway musical "Hair" which was a celebration of 1960's counterculture and a condemnation of the Vietnam War. A movie version of the musical was released in 1979. It's just impossible not to feel good listening to this tune, and the 5th Dimension harmonies are perfection. Thank you for the trip down memory lane! 👍

[@LLgirl-nyk]

This was from the 60s...greatest song...makes me proud to be an Aquarius

[@markgrant1302]

Both sections of the song are taken from the musical hair. A guy from the midwest goes to see New York city before he hoes infront of his draftboard...aquarius is the music that is introduction to the Hippie counterculture.... long story short, the guy from the midwest becomes friends with some of the hippies then goes to basic training...the hippies drive to meet the guy, one of the hippies cuts his hair and sneaks on to the military base to switch places for a couple hours so the midwest guy can see everyone one last time... while the midwest guy is offbase, the troops get deployed with the hippy being forced to board an aitcraft going to Vietnam... he dies there... the song let the sunshine in is about the fallen soldiers in Vietnam... okay that's not short.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

Hard take my eyes off those fabulous ladies.

[@katiedeal6320]

Blacks had uttmost respect in the music industry continuing throughout the 60's and 70's+. Peace, Love, no racism...didn't even know what it was until my 20's. Wish I could tell you what happened because I don't know for sure. I always will think it was the introduction of drugs. People wanna say black men walked away from their kids, leaving responsibility behind, but many white men did the same thing. All colors were in the same boat with women left to raise children alone. Music lost great singers when music went Rap. I believe there is a place for Rap, but if you can sing, their is no way you wouldn't make millions just actually SINGING a song, because even my generation would welcome a young black SINGER because we've always loved them.

[@suem6004]

Thanks for saying this. This is how history was. Believe revision of history has warped things. Growing up we listened to Kool and the Gang, Sly, Marvin Gay, 5th Dimension. They all showed up on TV too. Midnight Special, anyone? Really good group. Anyone with an ear appreciated talent regardless of race. Their harmonies were perfection. Great sing along on the school bus times with our hippy driver. Good times

[@raenellefisher8514]

Yeah, except for that slavery thingy, and the segregation thingy, and the laws against interracial marriage thingy--except for that, it was all love between the races back then. It makes me wonder what MLK Jr. was talking about. The Civil Rights movement of the 60s--what was that all about? But I can see what you saying. It didn't exist for you until you were in your 20s. Ipso facto, it didn't exist until then.

[@elaines5750]

@@raenellefisher8514 MLK was talking about racism. If you have no first-hand experience with it, then blessings on you. But it was very real and many people died in the 20's, 30's 40's, etc., because of their skin color. KKK and lynchings. Those "thingies" were pretty darn serious. Nothing to be overlooked or brushed aside.

[@raenellefisher8514]

@@elaines5750 My reply was steeped in sarcasm. I agree with you.

[@elaines5750]

@@raenellefisher8514 I debated about that. Good on you ❤😁 sometimes. it's difficult to determine a person's intentions when interpreting their printed word.

[@devonvergiels5185]

Just beautiful voices, great songs. Will stand the test of time.

[@giftedplanksify]

Psychedelic and Gospel

[@feferosette]

Great song and great reaction!

[@josephstanton4872]

Just knew you'd react to the second part that moves up a level!

[@sdstewart1962]

Interesting you should use the term "operatic." Ronald Townson, the bearded gentleman on the far left (who is singing the high tenor part), was a trained opera singer.

[@dahuffy]

This is from the musical "Hair" GREAT movie!!!!

[@pallen49]

' You got to feeeeEEEL it...You got to FEEEEeel IT'....Letttttt the sunshine, lettttt the sunshine in '..

Glad to see you getting into a classic 60s song, but then most of them were!

[@charlenewebb5893]

They were great I grow up with them .They were very popular .Next Up Up And Away .

[@madams6198]

This song is the dog's danglies! Billy goin to church on voice, Joe blowing it up on the bass... Perfection!

[@cheesyrider6914]

Gotta listen to these songs from the movie/musical "Hair"

[@jbass69goat84]

I try to give everyone a fair chance to do things their way. I subscribe to many young people reaction sites just to see them discover new music. After watching this, I have no doubt as to why this young man has only 5.7K subscribers. 🙄😴

[@rebeccagoodin6931]

lol u seem a lil shocked. Black ppl dipped their toe in the hippie era too. Awesome group

[@carolb1268]

The taller of the two beautiful women is Marilyn McCoo. She has the soprano voice and it’s been said she has a 3 octive range. She and her husband Billy Davis (lead singer) have been married for 50 years or so.

[@gesundheit602]

It’s a shame that this generation isn’t making music like this that will last for decades and beyond . Very few artists on the radio today are even able to write their own music or play an instrument . They have to rely on sampling something that was created by someone else in the past.

[@kurtjk01]

It was symphonic singing. Similar to the Ode to Joy by Beethoven. Hard to beat it.

[@arturoromero951]

While it’s a gem, it’s nothing compared to Beethoven.

[@ednalvamoreiradesouzasouza1481]

Peace and love

[@redstep-child3096]

My mother used to play this record to wake me up.

[@hybridamerica]

I saw it in his face... "Please Jesus... help me to NOT laugh at this... be serious.... give it a chance.. Open your mind, Lamarius!!" You did good, Brother.

[@nealamesbury1480]

Great !

[@deanjacobson2113]

Classical type singing

[@louduerinck9876]

The great Marilyn McCoo

[@wleon4068]

As you should know, Aquarius is a star sign. The 'Age of Aquarius' means a spiritual awakening for the human race. A time when humans will eventually tire of war and bloodshed and will turn to peace worldwide. We have now moved out of the 'Age of Pisces', into the 'Age of Aquarius'. This 'Age' will not be felt just yet, as there is still much darkness and hatred within the world. The 'Age of Aquarius' will eventually 'let the sunshine in'.

[@michaellazzeri9439]

SIR -----------IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CONTEXT OF THIS SONG, IT WON'T MEAN ANYTHING AT ALL. -----------1ST, THIS WAS THE #1 SONG OF 1969 ----------IT WAS ON THE RADIO EVERY 10 MINUTES, OR, SO IT SEEMED. ------------2ND, IT WAS AN ADAPTATION FROM A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL BROADWAY PLAY, & IT IS ACTUALLY 2 SONGS COMBINED : " AQUARIUS " & " LET THE SUNSHINE IN " ---------3. THE SONG WAS NOMINATED FOR " SONG OF THE YEAR " , GRAMMY AWARDS. -------------MARILYN MCCOO----------BILLY DAVIS JR [ BY THIS TIME , MARRIED TO EACH OTHER ] -----------FLORENCE LARUE ---------LAMONTE MACLEMORE, & THE BOOMING TENOR VOICE OF RON TOWNSON. ------------NOW, PERHAPS, YOU CAN APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING.

Of course it’s spiritual. One of the best ever. Spirituality has nothing to do with religion. I’m highly spiritual - and a certified atheist since the age of 12.

[@josephstanton4872]

I see 2 thumbs down to this song, are they Tone Deaf!

[@080gina080]

I was playing "Let the sunshine in" loudly while watching on TV Americans coming out into the streets celebrating after Biden won. ❤️🌞

[@sgtjameslindsey2493]

Always thought Marilyn McCoo was so beautiful....... and apparently so did all the guys in the group because I think she ended up with all of them. Maybe it was that free love movement from back in 69,lol

[@CamiMack5616]

She's been married to Billy Davis Jr. from this group, since 1969. Don't say stuff like that about Marilyn; you make her sound like Stevie Nicks.

[@iamshebeeloloindigenous]

@@CamiMack5616 Facts!! Peace to u

[@dantean]

The first part's called chorale singing; the second is a refrain out of gospel choir music. The song's called "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In." The zodiacal sign "Aquarius" has the fish as its symbol. Stop doing reaction videos. Please.
