east215 (7 months ago) There was a poster when I was a kid called "Love Comes in all Colors". My Dad was a teacher and had it on the door to his class. t was during busing for integration. I went to "colored town" to an integrated school in Miami, Miami Central. Azucar!

PoliticsAddict (7 months ago) 2150 doesn't matter, 2012 is the important date. there will be mass destruction and chaos. and it may be the 21st or the 23 but its going to be around the end of 2012. i don't think you can pinpoint a certain day but definitely in the winter solstice. all good things come to an end, and for most people it will be the end. life isn't fair and life is harsh and cruel, 2012 will not be a rebirth or a happy thing.

wolfmyth007 (7 months ago) As lolatyoulol said, 2012, doesn't not mean destruction. There are plenty of websites that explain it all. The world has 'ended' numerous times already. 2012 is the 'age of the Aquarius' , and as the song says there will be 'harmony, understanding, peace and trust abounding'.

thetaxmancometh (6 months ago) As an 8 year old, I got to see & hear this performed live. My parents took my brother & me to see The 5th Dimension & The Supremes on consecutive nights at The Steel Pier in Atlantic City.

gr187 (6 months ago) Can anyone tell me what this song is supposed to be about?

****
hkn10x (6 months ago) We had hope in the 60's of a new age coming, when people would live in peace, mutual respect, and a better quality of life through spiritual development. An end to war, no more bomb, growth of age of humanism. Best I could do in 25 words or less
****
aitraining (6 months ago) 2:16 is aswesome 60's groovy! Great group.
****
lysdexek (6 months ago) I may have missed out on the '60's but the music still resonates today and I love every little bit of it.

"Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in..." (:

PS: "Wooo..."
****
da5masta (6 months ago) Why note the age of the Libra lol or Aries
****
hkn10x (6 months ago) I do not know. I do remember, even for a kid in NJ who did not turn 18 until 1972, the air was electric with anticipation and hope for what might be. Vietnam war, the assassinations, Laugh-In, riots, demonstrations, etal. People cared about and discussed politics and social issues. A really different time.
****
gr187 (6 months ago) Why was it Aquarius though...why not Virgo or Pisces?
****
MusicDude86 (6 months ago) because Aquarius sounds better
****
lekkerejongen (6 months ago) Duh?! Because the solar system goes through various astrological ages and we are entering the age of Aquarius. :-)
****
nanderson1965 (6 months ago) Because of the Procession of the stars.
We were in the age of Pisces since the time of Christ.
Each age lasts for about 2000 years.
We have now moved into... say it with me people,
The Age of Aquarius.
Peace!

ohsinnaman (6 months ago) Aquarius traditionally "rules" electricity, computers, flight, democracy, freedom, humanitarianism, idealists, modernization, rebels and rebellion, mental diseases, nervous disorders, and astrology. Other keywords and ideas believed associated with Aquarius are nonconformity, philanthropy, veracity, perseverance, mankind and irresolution. The appearance of many of these Aquarian developments over the last few centuries is considered by many astrologers to prove the proximity of the Aquarian age.

BIGPREZY (6 months ago) I was a tween when they had this hit. They were soulful, but controlled. I wanted their clothes ...And what Teenage Boy did not Love Marilyn McCoo. If you check out their Bio its pretty interesting.
****
aitraining (5 months ago) Wow. Talk about 60's groovy! An anthem for that time. So great. Perfect harmonies and Marylyn McCoo is scrumptious as always!
****
joanjuneau (5 months ago) I can't hear this song without it bringing back my whole youthful introduction to Counterculture and everything that meant. Who wrote the lyrics to this great great great classic?
****
laurasurfer (5 months ago) This song is the essence of LOVE and Freedom

****
im1bootyliciousbabe (5 months ago) idk but dont hate

[Editor: “idk” means “I don’t know”.]
****
bit50s (4 months ago) It's a pretty interesting story how they came about recording these 2 separate songs (from Hair) and combining them into one. I'd guess it can be found on the internet, a bit too much to type here.

****
TheMegaCritic2000 (4 months ago) Saw them live about 6-7 years ago. Awesome show. Great voices and music.
****
kingwill86 (4 months ago) this song is deep if you think about it.

****
letmetalk2u (4 months ago) Beautiful women
****
bigthilo (4 months ago) I know they overdub voices, but even without it they still sound like a chior of 50 people. I am so grateful fpor YouToube to remind me that I used to watch Marilyn on solid Gold and how wondersfrul she was then. No body sings other peoples hits like her!!!

pitochupon (2 months ago) i have that song in my IPOD......I LOVE IT.
****
broke2471 (2 months ago) I was a baby when they were out, but heard them later in life, and I thought they were all so cute. Marilyn and Florence LaRue where so pretty, and I saw pictures of them recently, and Black don't Crack they are still fine. And a little trivia, Marily sang the original Saving All My Love for You, rerecorded by Whitney Houston, who knew...Good Group and good sound...and Marilyn and Billy have been married for til this day - my hats off to them.
****
ElizaDay66 (2 months ago) Groovy... The end of this song has so much soul, I get all excited just listening to it.
****
Iamall77 (2 months ago) Marilyn McCoo (the tall one) dancing like that drive me crazy, really.
****
IreanaR (1 month ago) Is it an old group? never heard them before.
****
madmanmatalawag (1 month ago) There is a lot off music , a lot of really, really Great Soul Music included, that can be Rediscovered. This group is one such case, but there is even more !!! Try MFSB, The Funk Brothers, The Philly sound, and so much more. The 50's, 60's and 70's were and still are , A Gold Mine for this Genre. Look for it. You'll get to know it , and love it !!!!!
****
23Firedrake (1 month ago) Hello Marilyn from Solid Gold. You were the BEST Girlie! Actually, you still are!
****
carolerory (1 month ago) love the 5th dimension... those harmonies and
the positive message of the band..
consider myself lucky to grow up in that era of
music.. rock, soul, gospel, jazz, country, all peaked by the late 70's... mtv era and beat music replaced the lyrics & harmonies..

****
boxerdogs11 (1 month ago) Amen! I second that. Loved growing up in the 60's and 70's. No better time.
****
