just heard about la monte mclemore passing away i had no idea he was only 90 lol what a career though - from st louis to the 5th dimension and beyond, that's some serious talent he brought so much joy to people with his music and energy, i'm gonna miss him especially after seeing summer of soul doc... now i wanna listen to all those 5th dimension tracks over and over
omg 90?! that's like, ancient lol what was he singing about back in the day i remember "up up and away" being played at like every wedding ever and his energy is still infectious even after all these years i feel bad for his family tho Mieko must be totally heartbroken rest in peace, LaMonte
I just remembered I need to water my plant ... I've had it for like 3 months now and I don't want it to die . Anyways, back to LaMonte McLemore... I loved The 5th Dimension's music! "Aquarius" is still one of my fave songs from the '60s. Have you ever seen any old Soul Train episodes? β
omg just heard about la monte mclemore he was literally a legend in music!! 90 years old is insane i mean can you even imagine making hits like "up, up and away" back when everyone else was still trying to figure out this whole music thing? and the fact that they played a role in bringing american culture to russia during the cold war is so cool i remember watching summer of soul (β¦or, when the revolution could not be televised) with my friends last year and we were all like "wow these guys are legends" mclemore's energy was infectious he definitely left an indelible mark on music history
omg, 5th dimension is literally one of my fave groups eva they had such iconic songs & harmonies... la monte mclemore was like a legend in his own right, even tho he passed away at 90, that's still pretty impressive lol. i remember hearing their music with my grandparents when i was younger & it always brought back fond memories. rIP to an amazing musician & entertainer
