The 5th Dimension
From the late 60s through the 70s, The 5th Dimension were about as big as it gets. This group scored seven Grammy Awards, 22 Top 40 songs, 5 #1 Billboard hits, and helped launch the careers of such songwriters as Ashford & Simpson and Laura Nyro. Their lushly orchestrated hits—dubbed Champagne Soul—include “Up, Up and Away,” “Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “Last Night I didn’t Get to Sleep,” “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Never My Love,” and “California Soul.”
