One of their greats, penned by Laura Nyro. I had such a crush on Marilyn McCoo when I was a kid. She is so beautiful and so is Florence. Almost 45 years have passed since then. Billy Davis is a very lucky man, both he and Marilyn have been married for a little over 50 years.

There's Marilyn wearing her go-go boots. My family moved from the city to a rural school district in "68" and all the kids was like "What are you wearing?" My go-go boots you hicks! I wanted to look like Marilyn. She was my favorite singer. I was in the fourth grade. White and loving the 5th dimension. I didn't know anything about racism. Heck my first grade teacher, Miss Patton, was a black lady. I loved her! All I knew was this was great music! LOL!!!! Still is.

A beautiful song and such a great live performance with a really good band arrangement! I think it’s so important to credit the brilliant genius composer of the song, the late great Laura Nyro. She wrote many of the fifth dimension top hits, and Laura put out a few albums with her back up vocal group called LaBelle. that vocal group was led by Patti LaBelle, who obviously went onto great fame in the music world.
