A little background on this song : This was the The Fifth Dimension's second attempt at a vocal group, the first version of the group split up and the former members formed the group Friends of Distinction, this change resulted in Marilyn becoming the lead singer, she had always sang harmony and this song was the first one she sang lead on, she was so nervous that she was unable to sing the song all the way through, and they ended up having to assemble the final recording, line by line, from numerous takes. As you can see from this performance, she got over that shyness right quick!

@@lizziethegangsterhippie9291 Laura Nyro was a quirky singer with an interesting vocal range. She actually had more success with other artists singing her tunes. The 5th Dimension scored with Wedding Bell Blues, Stoned Soul Picnic, Sweet Blindness and Three Dog Night had their huge hit with Nyro's Eli's Comin". Stoney End was a hit for Streisand and When I Die was a hit with Blood Sweat and Tears. She made a great album Gonna Take a Miracle with La Belle (Patti) in the late 60's.
