Jamel don't miss this, do it now:Two members Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis check out: You don't have to be a star:This is a JAM my man. Gives me chills . My wife and I sang it at our wedding with my brothers band. th-cam.com/video/GdVTluaY-gw/w-d-xo.html
@@debchoate8941 oh I love that. My dad's name is Dale. He was apparently tormented as a kid because Dale Evans was a woman (he was born in the 50s) my mom wanted to name me Dale but my dad put the breaks on that one lol. I doubt any of my classmates would have done the same but I ended up with Timothy. :)
Isn't her voice just to die for? Smooth as silk. People made cracks about this song being whiny and self-pitying in the comments below Aquarius. I don't agree. It's just sad. That's more than allowed. If not, every blues song ever written would come under attack.
I find that a weird take. I don't find it particularly cloying or sappy in any way. It's a standard breakup-themed lyric set to swing ballad formula, not so different from countless others going back to the big band era. What sets it apart for me is the superior emotional content and totally killer technique.
You will definitely enjoy Wedding Bell Blues by Fifth Dimension. The female lead in this song is Marilyn McCoo and she's married to the male lead from Let The Sunshine In Billy Davis Jr. They have songs together that they're done. Check out You Don't Have To Be A Star!
A beautiful Burt Bacharach/Hal David song. The Fifth Dimension opened the door to Laura Nyro for many people with their superb covers of "Wedding Bell Blues", "Sweet Blindness" and "Stoned Soul Picnic". Please check out Laura Nyro at some time Jamal, a true, one off, musical genius. Peace.
Second your motion. As I'm sure you know Laura Nyro wrote "Eli's Coming" & "And When I Die" which were hits by Three Dog Night & Blood, Sweat & Tears, respectively.
PPL also died in. Viet Nam War which was going when this song was released. LOTS of young men never came back alive and this song applies to that, too.
@@leandabee As if they are trying to compensate the lack of talent. There are still true female artists. I have never seen Adele shoving her crotch into the camera. "Cause she does not have to.
Check out "Up, Up and Away". It won several Grammys, including Song of the Year and Best Group Vocal. Written by Jimmy Webb, one of the greatest pop songwriters of all time
The 5th Dimension was so diverse in their styles. They could groove or soothe you, and you can't pigeon-hole them. Btw, Marilyn McCoo and Andy Gibb, of "Shadow Dancing" fame, co-hosted a music-variety show called SOLID GOLD in the 80's. Love your reactions!
I love to hear that woman sing. I put Marilyn McCoo right up there with the likes of Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline when it comes to some of my top 5 female singers.
This beautiful composition by Burt Bacharach is arguably Marilyn's signature song. NO ONE sang it better; I think other ladies wouldn't even give it a try.
I have always loved their amazing harmony. This song was out in the late 60's I was a teenager!! This was played on the radio all the time! All the groups wore great matching outfits, Jackson 5, Temptations, 4 tops, bell bottoms and all!!
I was 3 when this came out, such an incredible group, I watched Soul Train and Hee Haw, yes I have a diverse music taste, now a Dimash Dear and a Pentaholic ❤️
Dude. You been late to the game! I fell in love with Marilyn and the 5th Dimension when I was six years old. Been loving them for more than 50 years. They were, are and will always be magic. Just listening to them puts a smile on my face. Glad to see you discover them and that big smile on yours.
So much emotion actually if you lived through the late 60s as a 19yr old. They were a classier take on what was going on at the time. People should dig deeper beyond the most recognized commercial hits.
My neighbor growing up was this white lady named Lisa. Other than Marilyn McCoo, I've never heard anyone sing this song better than her!!! 💯 💯 💯 Whenever I hear this song, it brings me back to 1st - 8th grade and Lisa. 🤗😚🤗
This arrangement and her vocal performance are like the moon landings. If a recording of this didn't exist.. I wouldn't be able to imagine.. let alone believe.. it ever happened.
My family and I were lucky enough to see Marilyn McCoo's incredible live performance as Julie in the major revival of the classic musical / drama "Show Boat" about 25 years ago - lifetime memory. She and all the members of Fifth Dimension were just so outstanding.
Marilyn McCoo could sing for sure. I also remember her hosting Solid Gold in the 80s. Try "Wedding Bell Blues", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Up Up and Away" and my favorite, "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep at All."
My favorite 5th Dimension song. I grew up in this era. I was in Jr high and one of my friend's sister in the group, Florence LaRue so we all knew their songs.
So many great songs by this talented group and this song is one example. What a voice from Marilyn McCoo so smooth. Wedding Bell Blues and Stone Soul Picnic 2 other great gems by the 5th Dimension and they had many.
LOT'S of good music from this group......"Stoned Soul Picnic" - "Wedding Bell Blues" - "I Didn't Get To Sleep At All"........give this band a deep dive/listnin to.....Wayne Maher - Bellingham, Wa.(State).....
Marilyn McCoo has such a beautiful, unforgettable voice. And the First Dimension’s vocal artistry is sublime. This song was so emotional, and who would ever think “one less egg to fry” could represent heartbreak.
67 year old white man here and I still remember the words to this song. The 5th Dimension had some great performances and Marilyn McCoo's voice was one of the best.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, Soul Train followed American Bandstand on the local channel's Saturday Schedule. I watched both regularly. I'm glad you're discovering this generation of music.
Next for Jamel: Up, Up and Away, Last Night I Didn’t Get To Sleep At All, Wedding Bell Blues, Never My Love, and Stoned Cold Picnic. Marilyn McCoo was the star voice of the group! The pace of the song and soulful singing, reminds me of Billy Paul "Me And Mrs. Jones". Great song.
Back when singers sang and performers performed. The 5th Dimensions are still touring. They look and sound great. Your reactions are always sincere and top notch❤️
I remember my Dad listening to this on the radio when I was a little kid. I just love these songs, makes me so happy. Marilyn McCoo, tall female, used to host a show called Solid Gold. We all used to watch it on Sundays. Marilyn is married to one of the 5th Dimension members, and still is. Beautiful people and harmonies. Great costumes. Perfect!
Until the late 60s, B&W tv's were still commonplace. The very night we plugged in our first color tv in 1968, the 5th Dimension were on...they sounded and looked amazing. Most Pop, Rock and Motown acts of the day took full advantage of the new medium...The 5th Dimension were always a feast for the eyes.
The last one was Age of Aquarius / Let the Sunshine…. If you look up Age of Aquarius you will see what the song is about. I love this song. One Less Bell to Answer!
We all fell in love with Marilyn, the line up to mend her broken heart stretched across the world. The closest I have to compare the felling is Bonnie's I Can't Make You Love Me. The 5th was amazing... Harmonic bliss.
Yes! The SOOOOOUUUUUULLLLLLL TRAIN!!! Sponsored by Afrosheen cosmetics! I loved watching Soul Train back in the 70s! RIP Don Cornelius! Many Hip-Hop Choreographers who are Legends today got their start as the dancers on Soul Train!
"I didnt get to sleep last night, Never My Love, California Soul, wedding day blues, Working on a groovy thing &Light sings " Are also great songs i loved as a kid.
The 5th Dimension had THE BEST of seventies attire. In an era with zero fashion sense - they look fantastic - so stylish. And, Marilyn sings like a bird.
I’m 60 and IMO, I grew up in the best era of music variety. I was able to enjoy classical, big band, jazz, soul, 50’s, 60’s than the 70’s with easy and heavy rock along with Motown and then the long hair 80’s through the 90’s then grunge and into today. These were talented bands and groups that had to make their own sound, not “Sample” or borrow from others. Wow, what a ride!
One of my favorite songs from the Fifth Dimension and maybe not well known is "Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes" . Marilyn McCoo is an excellent singer and her breath control is amazing in that song. Very tough to sing.(I also love Ashes to Ashes).
Marilyn McCoo, the lead singer, had one of the most gorgeous voices of the 60s and 70s. She is still beautiful, too. Such a gift the 5th Dimension and Marilyn McCoo were.
Marilyn was and IS amazing. Fantastic group that brings wonderful memories-as does your Rush poster! I had the same one in high school 😊 Check out Tavares some day. They were of that era and had some amazing, percussion-heavy soul/r&b. Love watching your joy!
I have always loved their songs”Working on a Groovy Thing” and “Sweet Blindness.” There’s a great clip on TH-cam of Frank Sinatra singing “Sweet Blindness” with them.
They were super popular when I was in school. Links Below 5th Dimention "Wedding Bell Blues" th-cam.com/video/5HWX2BnI0Gw/w-d-xo.html "If I Could Reach You" th-cam.com/video/jz2Va9TYC94/w-d-xo.html
Up Up and Away from them is such a joyful song. Save it for a day when you need that. Fifth Dimension was well liked by all ages. My grandparents danced to their music at the Shrine club when I was a teenager.
I've been saying this for years...the Grammy for the best female solo performance by a group or duo ever goes to Marilyn McCoo for One Less Bell to Answer
I loved the 5th Dimension, and Marilyn McCoo is one of the greatest legendary singers in my opinion. They exemplified the standard and level of talent you had to have back then to be able to sing and perform. I had forgotten that Soul Train had been around long enough to have had them on the show.
The 5th Dimension's "One Less Bell To Answer" came out in 1970, I was 9 years old and I remember hearing it on the am radio station as well as "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In", the woman singing lead in this song is Marilyn Mccoo, later she and her husband Billy Davis Jr. left the group and went on their own, they had a couple of pretty good songs, "You Don't Have To Be A Star" and "Last Night I didn't Get To Sleep At All", back in the 70's. This brings back some memories, thanks!
Watched American Bandstand and Soul Train religiously. Listened to transistor radio under my pillow all night long to some of the finest music ever. No wonder I know all the words.
Jamel Jamal - - Thanks for starting my day with a smile! I've probably heard this song 70 times but it was a joy to share it with you. She's much more than fine! From someone of my generation, Marilyn is one of the prettiest & most beautiful (there's a difference -- pretty is just the outside) women EVER. Marilyn and Suzanne Pleshette: two of the shining lights of my gen. I'm looking forward to wearing one of your Hoodie. Spread the love

This is also a great duo and song!! Marilyn McCoo was a beautiful lady with a great voice and sound!

Laura Nero songwriter
Marilyn McCoo is one of the best singers of her generation, hands down!
Love her! ❤❤❤
Sexy and wholesome too.
Agreed!
First time hearing this one, and I concur. That tone really gets deep down in there.
You got that right, as today's kids would say, "her voice is pure ear candy"
Marilyn McCoo is still a beautiful woman. She and Billy Davis, Jr. have been married for 52 years.
53 years in July.
I had a boy crush on her
.....And they're still performing! They had a date in Atlantic City not too long ago.
Love that. And love them.
And the records those two made together ❤
Fifth Dimension and Carpenters are the Voices of the Early 70's get into it all.
Marilyn made you feel her pain in this one. Such a beautiful voice she had. And so easy on the eyes...
Genetic perfection, really.
She was beautiful. The other lady was also lovely.
One of the most beautiful love songs heartache ever-- this was music.
Marilyn McCoo, who sings lead on this song, and her husband Billy Davis Jr. are still us. Billy was also a member of the group.
@DianeNC what a great hit for them years later!
Professor of Rock just did an interview with them. Check it out
Wow, you will want to hear more of them! Wedding Bell Blues, and more. Please! They were HOT 🔥 back in the day.
My mom loved that song. Bill I love you so. 😀
@@timothy4664 Me too and I married him!
@@debchoate8941 oh I love that. My dad's name is Dale. He was apparently tormented as a kid because Dale Evans was a woman (he was born in the 50s) my mom wanted to name me Dale but my dad put the breaks on that one lol.

What sets it apart for me is the superior emotional content and totally killer technique.
I think we've all been through this kind of pain. You gotta feel it and cry until you're done. Only then are we ready to move on.
It's a love gone wrong song. Nothing wrong with that. Its part of life.
You will definitely enjoy Wedding Bell Blues by Fifth Dimension. The female lead in this song is Marilyn McCoo and she's married to the male lead from Let The Sunshine In Billy Davis Jr. They have songs together that they're done. Check out You Don't Have To Be A Star!
Wedding Bell Blues and Stone Cold Picnic from the GREAT Laura Nyro!
All their songs are GREAT-- What a fantastic group of the sixties and seventies
Wow, I completely forgot about "You Don't Have To Be A Star" - great song! xx
Billy her husband is standing right next to Marilynn and they are still very much married,have been now for 54,55 years now ,both in their 80s .
A beautiful Burt Bacharach/Hal David song. The Fifth Dimension opened the door to Laura Nyro for many people with their superb covers of "Wedding Bell Blues", "Sweet Blindness" and "Stoned Soul Picnic". Please check out Laura Nyro at some time Jamal, a true, one off, musical genius. Peace.
Bacharach forever! (and the 5th Dimension too!) Marilyn McCoo's finest hour- such a beautiful voice and face.
Second your motion. As I'm sure you know Laura Nyro wrote "Eli's Coming" & "And When I Die" which were hits by Three Dog Night & Blood, Sweat & Tears, respectively.
Upvoted this comment for Laura Nyro! Can't sing (so to speak) her praises enough.
I think Bacharach originally wrote it for Keely Smith.
Yes, indeed, to Stoned Soul Picnic!
Goosebumps all over. That's all I'm gonna say!
No, I lied. The harmonies... THE HARMONIES!!!
I’m telling you, NO ONE does harmonies better. NO ONE! This is such a beautiful song ♥️
PPL also died in. Viet Nam War which was going when this song was released. LOTS of young men never came back alive and this song applies to that, too.
That was the time when female artists were graceful and classy, that is unlike the cardy b's of today. Thank you for the pleasure!
Absolutely spot on comment. Sometimes I think I'm watching porn with what some female singers put out as so called entertainment 🤨🤦🏼♀️🤮
@@leandabee As if they are trying to compensate the lack of talent. There are still true female artists. I have never seen Adele shoving her crotch into the camera. "Cause she does not have to.
@@musicaficionado2974 absolutely 💯 %!! 🤦🏼♀️
lol there are still “graceful and classy” women artists nowadays too and they’re not hard to find.
@@dominiqueglover4978 i agree. I don't say they are hard to find. Adele, for one. However, you know what I mean.
Check out "Up, Up and Away". It won several Grammys, including Song of the Year and Best Group Vocal. Written by Jimmy Webb, one of the greatest pop songwriters of all time
Up Up and Away was produced by Johnny Rivers and was the first hit for Jimmy Webb .It won something like 6 grammies
It's my favorite Fifth Dimension song. I turn up the radio every time I manage to catch it.
@@Crolis You can thank Burt Bacharach and Hal David for writing the music and lyrics to this.
The Best!!!
Yes, a lot of facts are getting overlooked in here.
@@zimjun7
Smooth, smooth, smooth. So much emotion in Marilyn McCoo's voice
"Never My Love" by the 5th Dimension is another unbelievable performance by Marilyn McCoo. Check it out. It will make you cry.
There were so many, I've forgotten they did.
Also listen to "If I Could Reach You."
Sublime!
The original - sung by the unforgettable "Association" - is also great!
The 5th Dimension was so diverse in their styles. They could groove or soothe you, and you can't pigeon-hole them. Btw, Marilyn McCoo and Andy Gibb, of "Shadow Dancing" fame, co-hosted a music-variety show called SOLID GOLD in the 80's. Love your reactions!
God I remember when she took over Solid Gold with Andy Gibb...
I loved solid gold!
Please react to the 5th Dimension's song, "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All". Mailyn McCoo's voice is stunning. 🥰
Marilyn McCoo was a goddess.
Is still
Hot damn! Two 5th Dimension songs in a row! Keep this going, Jamel!!
I love to hear that woman sing. I put Marilyn McCoo right up there with the likes of Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline when it comes to some of my top 5 female singers.
This beautiful composition by Burt Bacharach is arguably Marilyn's signature song. NO ONE sang it better; I think other ladies wouldn't even give it a try.
Always loved them. Marilyn McCoo has a great voice...not to mention being gorgeous (and she still is today at nearly 80!).
Check out "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep at All".
Up, Up, and Away is another one of their songs
Have always l-o-v-e-d this song. Marilyn McCoo's voice is amazing.
I have always loved their amazing harmony. This song was out in the late 60's I was a teenager!! This was played on the radio all the time! All the groups wore great matching outfits, Jackson 5, Temptations, 4 tops, bell bottoms and all!!

Back when I was in about 5th or 6th grade The 5th Dimension had so many great songs. AM radio was an incredible mix of great music in those days.
That would make us about the same age - LOVED them!!!🥰
Dude. You been late to the game! I fell in love with Marilyn and the 5th Dimension when I was six years old. Been loving them for more than 50 years. They were, are and will always be magic. Just listening to them puts a smile on my face. Glad to see you discover them and that big smile on yours.

Other than Marilyn McCoo, I've never heard anyone sing
this song better than her!!! 💯 💯 💯
Whenever I hear this song, it brings me back

I thought she was so beautiful when I was young and heard this...beautiful woman.

How cool must it be to hear this song for the first time so many years after it was released.

Love this song , and Marilyn's vocals. wow,, I know you like groups that can harmonize =The Association ,, Never My Love
My favorite 5th Dimension song. I grew up in this era. I was in Jr high and one of my friend's sister in the group, Florence LaRue so we all knew their songs.

So many great songs by this talented group and this song is one example. What a voice from Marilyn McCoo so smooth. Wedding Bell Blues and Stone Soul Picnic 2 other great gems by the 5th Dimension and they had many.
Yes, please do "Wedding Bell Blues" next by them. What a joyful noise they made.
LOT'S of good music from this group......"Stoned Soul Picnic" - "Wedding Bell Blues" - "I Didn't Get To Sleep At All"........give this band a deep dive/listnin to.....Wayne Maher - Bellingham, Wa.(State).....
Marilyn McCoo has such a beautiful, unforgettable voice. And the First Dimension’s vocal artistry is sublime. This song was so emotional, and who would ever think “one less egg to fry” could represent heartbreak.
One of the best groups from the mid sixties, her voice is beautiful.
67 year old white man here and I still remember the words to this song. The 5th Dimension had some great performances and Marilyn McCoo's voice was one of the best.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, Soul Train followed American Bandstand on the local channel's Saturday Schedule. I watched both regularly. I'm glad you're discovering this generation of music.

The pace of the song and soulful singing, reminds me of Billy Paul "Me And Mrs. Jones". Great song.
Me and Mrs. Jones. I know Jamel would like that smooth number!
Back when singers sang and performers performed. The 5th Dimensions are still touring. They look and sound great. Your reactions are always sincere and top notch❤️
I remember my Dad listening to this on the radio when I was a little kid. I just love these songs, makes me so happy.

Beautiful voice.The 5th Dimension so underrated.They have been overlooked by reactors.
The last one was Age of Aquarius / Let the Sunshine…. If you look up Age of Aquarius you will see what the song is about.
I love this song. One Less Bell to Answer!
We all fell in love with Marilyn, the line up to mend her broken heart stretched across the world. The closest I have to compare the felling is Bonnie's
I Can't Make You Love Me.
The 5th was amazing... Harmonic bliss.
As a kid who grew up in the sixties, the fifth demension had soul and were beautiful. The were amazing.

Are also great songs i loved as a kid.
I remember seeing them in an episode of the tv show "It Takes a Thief" starring Robert Wagner. He was also on several episodes of NCIS.
My favorite 5th DIMENSION song. Marilyn's voice is amazing. She and her band mate Bill Davis Jr have been married since 1969.
This is it !! My favorite 5th Dimension song !! 🎵 Marilyn MaCoo 😍💘❤️🔥 A Tear Jerker !! 😢
One of the songs written by the legendary Burt Bacharach, they certainly did the song justice.
Wonderful harmonies smooth silky vocals, sheer class
The 5th Dimension had THE BEST of seventies attire. In an era with zero fashion sense - they look fantastic - so stylish. And, Marilyn sings like a bird.
Used to make me so sad and I was just a kid! Guess they can tug on the heart strings and make you dance too! Loved Up Up And Away! Let's see more!
Up Up And Away, Wedding Bell Blues, (Last Night) I didn’t Get To Sleep and Stoned Soul Picnic are all hits from this group!
Check out “Last night, I didn’t get to sleep at all” and “Up, Up and Away” from them.
Olhaaa..que canção linda que voz maravilhosa.A primeira vez que ouvi me apaixonei e a tradução é ainda mais linda.
YES SIR!!!!!!!!! I still cry to this song EVERY TIME!!!!
I’m 60 and IMO, I grew up in the best era of music variety. I was able to enjoy classical, big band, jazz, soul, 50’s, 60’s than the 70’s with easy and heavy rock along with Motown and then the long hair 80’s through the 90’s then grunge and into today. These were talented bands and groups that had to make their own sound, not “Sample” or borrow from others. Wow, what a ride!
The 5th dimension was one of hand fill of LPs my dad played on repeat when I was growing up. The smooth vocals are just amazing.
The 5th Dimension were renown for their harmonies. They were a balm, a salve for the time. Style. Smooth. Sophistication.
One of my favorite songs from the Fifth Dimension and maybe not well known is "Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes" . Marilyn McCoo is an excellent singer and her breath control is amazing in that song. Very tough to sing.(I also love Ashes to Ashes).
Thanks, I've been trying to remember the name of that one.
Marilyn McCoo, the lead singer, had one of the most gorgeous voices of the 60s and 70s. She is still beautiful, too. Such a gift the 5th Dimension and Marilyn McCoo were.

Love the 5th Dimension! They were my very first live concert when I was 18. They had so many great songs/hits. Thank you for all the great music 🎶 🎵
Friggin awesome harmonies! I had this in vinyl&listened to it over&over.. Haven't heard it in many years, so thank you
You need to hit "Wedding Bell Blues"
Not only does she sing beautifully, she is a beautiful woman. Thanks for reacting to them.
Marilyn McCoo is like the voice of angel, just a pleasure to listen to.
My all time favorite oldies band 🥰✌🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I have always loved their songs”Working on a Groovy Thing” and “Sweet Blindness.”
There’s a great clip on TH-cam of Frank Sinatra singing “Sweet Blindness” with them.
They were super popular when I was in school.

Up Up and Away from them is such a joyful song. Save it for a day when you need that. Fifth Dimension was well liked by all ages. My grandparents danced to their music at the Shrine club when I was a teenager.
I've been saying this for years...the Grammy for the best female solo performance by a group or duo ever goes to Marilyn McCoo for One Less Bell to Answer
Marilyn's Core is so sensuous and her voice is so amazing...I've been in love with her for decades...
Marilyn was fantastic. Beautiful woman, voice and the distinction in her words.
I loved the 5th Dimension, and Marilyn McCoo is one of the greatest legendary singers in my opinion. They exemplified the standard and level of talent you had to have back then to be able to sing and perform. I had forgotten that Soul Train had been around long enough to have had them on the show.
One more..Super Solid Gold Sound of the Seventies 💃🎶✊❗🤯😋
This 🎶🎼 is the grooviest!!
This was 1970… year before I graduated HS.
60s, 70s, 80s… some of the BEST decades of bands, groups, and music…hands down.
I don't know if you're old enough to remember the show Solid Gold, from the 80's, but the singer here, Marilyn McCoo was the host of that show.
Hard to believe you never heard of the 5th dimension. Omg. They were beautiful.
The 5th Dimension's "One Less Bell To Answer" came out in 1970, I was 9 years old and I remember hearing it on the am radio station as well as "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In", the woman singing lead in this song is Marilyn Mccoo, later she and her husband Billy Davis Jr. left the group and went on their own, they had a couple of pretty good songs, "You Don't Have To Be A Star" and "Last Night I didn't Get To Sleep At All", back in the 70's. This brings back some memories, thanks!
Watched American Bandstand and Soul Train religiously. Listened to transistor radio under my pillow all night long to some of the finest music ever. No wonder I know all the words.
Soul Train came on right after American Bandstand.
This made me cry. I loved the 5th Demention. Outfits were everything....watch the Jackson 5 early years.
Jamel Jamal - - Thanks for starting my day with a smile! I've probably heard this song 70 times but it was a joy to share it with you.
She's much more than fine! From someone of my generation, Marilyn is one of the prettiest & most beautiful (there's a difference -- pretty is just the outside) women EVER. Marilyn and Suzanne Pleshette: two of the shining lights of my gen. I'm looking forward to wearing one of your Hoodie. Spread the love
"Up, Up and Away" by The 5th Dimension is also a great song too.
Love “ The 5th Dimension “ to this day, every song!👍👏👏👏
I'm so glad you finally did this song.. beautiful
