Hi Rob,

 

FOREVER 5th DIMENSION, the acclaimed tribute Blog-Magazine for those awesome multi-Grammy winners, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, Lamonte McLemore and Ron Townson invites you to...FLASHBACK!

Join us for our latest Special Edition just in time for Thanksgiving as we take a cozy, carefree "back in the day" look at the legendary original 5th Fan Club with rare memorabilia including excerpts from the fondly-remembered 5th Newsletters of the '70's. You'll chuckle at the climate of the times & marvel at The 5th Dimension's whirlwind appearance schedule! 
 
See you at the Blog on my page & Thanksgiving blessings,

Robert

You'll find a special salute to Marilyn McCoo's upcoming birthday (Sept. 30th) with lots of fun including "The One Less Egg to Fry Challenge" plus a Q & A and the link to our exciting new McCoo YouTube!  And we check in with Florence LaRue, that Delightful Diva on stage with today's 5th! 

Enjoy THE GIRLS' SONG...Blessings always! --Robert

Hi Rob & Fans,

How can I say thanks? Your awesome response to "Marilyn & Billy--From the Heart" was unprecedented! In the spirit of The official 40th Anniversary of The Age of Aquarius, we keep up the vibe of "harmony & understanding" that The 5th Dimension represents to this day by proudly presenting our latest GRACEFUL SOUL edition of FOREVER 5th DIMENSION, featuring a rare & unique archival interview with the lovely & candid, Miss Marilyn McCoo.

If you enjoyed our last edition, I think you'll savor our latest..it's "a groovy thing" (with rare photos & updated info too!). So "surrey on down" to the Blog section on my page and "let the sunshine in!"

With Appreciation & Blessings,

Robert-Allan Arno

FOREVER 5th DIMENSION, the monthly tribute is proud to present the interview so many of you have requested...
MARILYN & BILLY--FROM THE HEART!

With a feeling of harmony & unity in the air and some Valentine’s magic too, McCoo & Davis talk music, marriage, their faith & about Obama! The secrets of so many of the hits you love like "Wedding Bell Blues"...the dynamic duo even holds a mini Master Class in singing technique for this special interview!

So take a "beautiful balloon" to the Blog section on my page for a charming visit with Marilyn & Billy--from their hearts to yours!

Blessings,

Robert

Yes!! Those voices, those arrangements...

For years, I have been creating a
sound that only a few animals on
the planet can hear, and you guys
are those animals!!
Man, I would love to share a stage
or a night at some venue with you.
That would be a great ride.
You guys get it! And your singers
get it...the syncopation, falling
into those pockets, imitating a
string or horn section, I can hear
all the hard work.
It's great stuff!
It's a pleasure meeting you.
Thank you for introducing
us to your wonderful sound.
Let's do something, seriously!

~Greg
