They sang in a small concert in St Louis in 1967 at a Summer Festival. Because they were still new on the charts there were only a handful of people surrounding the stage. I was 14 years old, and spent the whole concert just a few feet from Marilyn. My adolescent hormones kicked into overdrive and my crush has never gone away.

Hello Empress. This video clip is a part of a TV show that aired in 1970. The man who was looking at her was the star of the show and his character became attracted to her. Marilyn and the group were guest of the show and part of a mystery written for that show. Marilyn and her Husband are still touring and singing to this day!! The TV show was named: "It Takes A Thief". I also love to sing and invite you to check my page when you have time. (not asking for a reaction video, just inviting you over). Take care.

The man the video inexplicably cut to a few times was actor Robert Wagner. This is a scene from a 1970 TV show called "It Takes a Thief", in which Robert Wagner plays a former thief who is recruited to work for the government on special missions. I used to love watching this show with my mom when I was a little kid. The band was included as central characters in an episode called "Sing a Song of Murder", and "One Less Bell To Answer" was first heard by the public through this scene and only afterward played on the radio, reaching #2 on the charts. (I looked up these facts just now. I don't remember them from when I was little.)

There were many young black men and women reactions that were surprising made. All of them I enjoyed thoroughly. But, I keep returning to this one because she reflected the same emotions I had when first watching this video, as most did. This song, performance, video was powerfully written across every woman soul who at one time in their life hadn’t experienced this pain in relationship. Breakups! So, a special shout out to the Empress. You’re a very 💞lovely, 💓sweet and a special beautiful woman. Keep doing what you’re doing. 💯

Hello, dear Empress ☺ Yes, it's a beautiful and very sad song and Marilyn McCoo does an amazing job with the vocals. That lady can seriously sing! She expresses emotion without going too far that it becomes awful. She's feeling the song and allowing it to take her to that dark place. What really sets it so well is the backing vocals from the rest of the 5th Dimension as it adds a melancholy tone while working as a response to her cries of anguish. You asked about Bones Howe. It's pronounced the same way as How are you. He was a major recording producer and worked with a lot of the biggest acts in music during the 1960s and 70s. I don't need to mention the other guy as your other commenters have told you about the actor, Robert Wagner. Take care and stay safe, my friend! ☺☺♥
