I agree with you. A great son 🎵

The key and tempo change is glorious!

Me too

and I've just found myself wondering what other tunes or pop do this three songs (or more?) recorded on one single, because I myself cannot recall any? _Let The Sunshine In_ explains my everlasting itch to boogy, oof! 🍸

in addition to no longer getting to listen to this smash hit(?), riding the Expo-Express summertime was what my childhood had also craved when growing up at GB instead: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdBho85lurzHf5s.html

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. As a Christian myself, I think of it as let the Son (of God) shine in

That is a beautiful sign, Johnny. Hugs to you.💜

that was a beautiful story,yes as your Father went to Heaven above. -smile- DM

praying for you bro, hang in there a loss is hard.

That is so nice and a wonderful thing to say about your dad rising to the afterlife amen I'm glad to give you some time piece from your friend John love is a wonderful thing

Wow and he is an Aquarius!

That is just so beautiful. It's been 7 months but still Imma tell you congratulations @ATfadf , you got the greatest gift that day that a man can have

That's so cool. My brother was born the following year 1970 also in Feb 1st. Then I showed up in 1971, two days before my brother's first Bday. Then fast fwd a bit to 1994 when My Son arrived on Feb 1st. :-) and a Bonus this bit of info, my son's Father, is a twin, he and his brother were born on Feb 1st 1968. One year, before your son. :-) So I'm just going to say it AGAIN.. IF None of them Feb 1st Birthday Boys remember my Birthday is First in line then I don't want to hear em cryin' lol

I have the same birthday as your son!!

@@christik3802😂 to be fair, you showed up early!!

Oh yes indeed I love it so so much. Simply fantastic!

Forgot to say this song has the power to bring me to tears because it is so beautiful.

@@donnaatienza8001 it sure does. It’s beautiful

Not arguably! Objectively Definite!!! IM( humble) O

It is a transcendent Masterpiece,a full on cosmic embrace of the infinite love of the universe!

don't forget funk and disco

@@joshl.8950 and mystic crystal revelations

@@WilkinsonX ah yes MCR, of course of course

@@joshl.8950 That’d be a cool band name actually

Mreedance Clearwater Revival already took it sorry

Marilyn McCoo is stellar!!

That is awesome!

Yay! That’s great to know. Give them their respect while they’re around to appreciate it.

Awesome!!🤗🌌☘️🕊️🌹🌹💖💖

I was lucky enough to be signed to their producer. What a Life he gave me. Wow. Full of Sunshine and Heavenly Love.

absolutely !!!

Yes! I was going to comment "love that bass", but you beat me to it, so I'll just agree with you.

I Remember Mrs Marilyn Mackcoo Sang Her Love Ballet Too Mr Bill Davis Jr. ... Titled : Would You Marry Me Bill ... These Are Blessed People....

Joe Osborn - he played base on more hits than you can count. Look him up. He often played with Hal Blaine, on drums. You can hear how great they were together on this recording.

The interplay between the piano and bass always gets me jumping!

Facts

The late great Joe Osborn.

Agree✌🏽

Carole Kay wreckng crew

@@garyrunnalls7714 Joe Osborn, not Carol Kaye.

Joe Osborn is the bass player on this song. Part of the wrecking crew.

@@ericunderwood1186 Joe Osborn killed it!!! Paul McCartney once said of this record that this was the bass performance he's been chasing all his life.

Joe Osborne, session bassist, part of the Wrecking Crew

so Spicy

Too many people sleep on that part. It's killer!

I thought i knew my music....... Untill i Saw a video about the wrecking crew.... Oh my God that really open my eyes they playd on almost every album of my Idols/groups it is insane. Everyone should know about this crew and what they have done for music !

Awesome bass & drums !!

Definitely one of the greatest bass lines, especially when Sunshine kicks in. Osborn was great.

Hal blaine is one of my favorites and now his name is once again on my favorite drummers list Like I just didnt expect this to be him

He did it all with dead flat wound strings on his beat up jazz bass. Incredible tone.

T.O.T.A.L.L.Y ✌️

It's even more relevant and timely now than when it was recorded.

@@dougoverhoff7568 Totally Hip Hip HIPPY DAZE!!!

It sure does.

Factsss Susie 😃👊🏾

Yes

Yes, you're right. This song makes me dream, since I first heard it, in my childhood.

I was 16 and a total rocker. But this song just blew me away. All of it. The harmonies, the orchestration, the lyrics, and the change was just killer. Still gets me today. Whenever it comes on in the car, I crank it. I've deen people bobbing their heads at stop lights. I'm in Detroit so the music is always going here.

I couldn't agree with you more!! Plus, although I had several albums of them, this one was my favourite. I love all the tracks on that album, including a couple of hidden gems on there!

You as well!

Thank you! May peace and love pave your path🌹❤️🌹

THANKS 💕

LOVE AND LIGHT

This was such a beautiful comment. Sending love, peace and positivity back x

I don't know, Pastor, I humbly suggest that the vision of this song, which I also extolled in those days, is truly far from a Biblical view and put to the lie by the Vietnam War, Cold war, violence in the streets of America, and truly confused reality of the present time. I can only blink for a second at that song, knowing that something far greater than the imaginings of the songwriter, await us in God's Kingdom. Discernment is our greatest weapon on our perilous earthly journey. homeward.

No hablo inglés pero yo nací un 23 de abril de 1969.

​@@jorgemorales907 dice que es un pastor, el cual hizo que en el funeral de su madre un amigo le hiciera un arreglo de esta canción para su madre. Que tiene la canción guardada y le da muchos recuerdos

@@SMGSpiritRT gracias por traducir mi historia para esta persona. 🙂

Now I wish I was dead😡

Not a chance today. We have to rely on online or SIRIUS.

I thought it was because I was getting older, but it’s not. There is very little new music that is worth listening to.😫

@@lisaspikes4291 No. The emphasis shifted from music to vocalists, then primarily to screechy female vocalists, and the music got simpler and simpler. Go to a pop concert and you won't even see musicians, they're backstage if they aren't just recordings, onstage is some Smile Girl with a voice that makes bats collide and dancers twirling in unison. It's disgusting. The music doesn't change in key, it is harmonic babytalk (most pop has four chords: I, IV, V, and VI), it does not change in tempo or dynamics. I can't stand it.

@digpan. I lost interest in new rock before 1980 and only bought a few Berlin School artists, Eno, and Vangelis from 1977 to 1993. I’ve heard no recent rock I liked enough to hear a second time.. Aquarius felt anthemic. I was 14 and I believed.

Imagine hearing songs with English lyrics on the radio now days

The wrecking crew...look them up

Joe Osborn is playing that bass like a God in let the sunshine in section

@@milkchocolate_bruh2531 Joe Osborn's bass-playing in 'Let The Sunshine In' is unbelievable! Listening to that track is the ONLY time in my life where I actually play 'Air Bass' rather than 'Air Guitar'. Joe's bass even outshines that fantastic singing!

@@D-FensDogG What's funny is that in the story of the song, Bones Howe (the producer) said he liked Joe because he played it safe. Joe did NOT play it safe on this one. www.soundonsound.com/people/classic-tracks-fifth-dimension-aquariuslet-sunshine

​@@ischmidt Ian, thanks for the link! That was great!! And I wasn't actually aware that Joe was previously known for playing it close to the vest, without much fanciness. But, boy-oh-boy, he sure let loose and went into "Beast Mode" for 'Let The Sunshine In'!!

A new age is upon us. Look around, everything is changing. All of the old institutions are succumbing to entropy (some more quickly than others) and it's going to be chaotic while new ones are established. We are currently in what future historians will call a "populist uprising" We The People are pissed off, and are beginning to realize we have the weight of numbers on our side. The United States is the most heavily armed nation in the world, with literally more firearms than people (400 million firearms for about 335 million Americans) and we want answers. Because the government and those people on the news said so is no longer a reason to do (or not do) anything.

0 - 2000 A. D was the age of Pisces. (Jesus the fish). 2000 - 4000 A. D. Is the age of Aquarius. Ase' King James Luke 22 and 10: And he said unto them, behold when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a PITCHER of WATER (Aquarius) ; follow him into the HOUSE ( the House of Aquarius) where he entereth in. The Age of Pisce (Jesus the fish) is over. 2000 A. D. Began the Age of AQUARIUS. LET THE SUNSHINE IN!!!! ☀️

Oh I really hope your right.

I was born the year when the original Broadway version of this song was released (1967).

God bless you!

I'm 68 now. Remember them soo well.

I'd imagine that was a great show and fantastic time to be in Seattle. I didn't get there until the early 1990s and it was just on the cusp of gentrification and money coming in (+/-) for a bigger stadium and better opera house.

By Seattle center. I’d assume. The fountain

i think i love you.

r u on facebook?

I always loved this song. Befor I dont know what mean. But I love mutch more.

A carryover from the era of memorable music by truly talented artists!

are you talking about Michael Butler? he is wonderful in so many ways,

THX for a bit of background. 👍 5D got two nice songs to do the perfect Bridge on.....and the stage show hope for radio and Billboard listings to fill the seats... .................how cumbersom it was before Internet and TicToc influencers. 😋

You are so right. this is on my playlist every January 21 to February 19...I am an Aquarian. This year it will be rocking even more. We are in the marvellous Age of Aquarius. Time to get back our humanity.

And everything is fine and dandy :)

If only it worked that way...

@@AmishWebmaster "Pattern"

You are wrong

Let the sun shine in.

i think i love u. do u have a facebook account?

But this song was from 1969, not the 70s!

None of that would’ve happened without the massive transformation in music during the late 60s

SOME songs are timeless.....a FEW. I agree that the best popular music of the 70s seems t be forgotten......the soul music......HArold Melvin and Teh Blue Notes, the Spinners, Gladys Night's work, Barry White, Earth Wind and fire, Sly and The Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, gil Scott Heron...most of these acts were so BIG back then, but somehow history isn't giving them their due..........and many more...they were great. Orchestrations, with wonderful baselines, harmonies, melodies, rational lyrics...the 80s had SOME Good songs....and the 90s got worse...since then it's all downhill, except for independent people doing their own recordings. There was a nice folk revival in the 90s, but pop and country? Downhill....I don't keep up with jazz. Rock music...mostly designed for drunk teenagers and Satanists....not for the rational person.

​@@joemarshall4226 Survivorship bias. Most music from these "classic" eras was just as forgettable and disposable as most of the music from the present. We just... forgot about all of that stuff over the course of the decades.

@@BjornTheDim I agree that only the best stuff lasts, and tends to make the old times look better than they were. But there is something else going on. Today’s music, for the most part, really stinks. It’s not a wide open market, as in the past. It’s produced by fewer people, there’s not the money that once was, and it’s controlled propaganda. But, as I said, there is some great stuff happening in independent music that doesn’t make it to the radio

😆

Me too since 2021 thank you

Yes girl what a beautiful time to be alive. I'm going to do a remake of this song on my music channel

Same thing happened at the version of Sesame street segment about aquarium

I hope you actually look into the age of the Aquarius. Shit is gonna suck!

i am

Me ❤❤❤

I am

Me and it reminds me of my mom and she was born in February and she was an Aquarius and when she died I also thinking about her being in heaven. 💔❤️💔

Walmart is for the eclipse

right:)

Lemme run it

They were ahead of their time

@@love_reka_777 That's what I said to my mother. She was watching the summer of soul and just started singing when they started performing. It was like the song was locked up in her for decades and came out when triggered.

The age of Aquarius

My sympathies

Hippies.. the future breadheads :)

Always felt born at wrong the time, was an infant during the hippie movement

Thank you for that comment. Looks like my generation is in the same boat

Reper1483 Did you spell Haight wrong on purpose?? The Hippie movement was great - but drugs....effed up the whole thing; cus’ the SMART people left it & went on to finding God, work, survival...

7:06 central time… shrooms… blessed be!

They knew it was flat.. you know what I mean

Exactly!!!

You've obviously never heard of One Direction...

@mikehunt1528 No, I haven't, but I'll look them up. I will say, one current band I think is great and have good messages is "Disturbed" Thanks for your comment 👍
