pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy. Please hit the like button if you can.

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 5th Dimension had many synschonicities working in their favour in the earlier days, particularly the pure fluke of how they came to record Aquarius, the biggest-selling hit worldwide of 1969. So yes, I'd say the angelic 5D were heaven sent and just meant to be!

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.
