Okay, and speaking of Goddesses...

... The Goddess Carole King reminded me of The Goddess Laura Nyro, who reminded me of the Goddess Marilyn McCoo.

Bear with me please. It will become apparent.


The Goddess Laura Nyro wrote (and recorded, BTW) my favorite 5th Dimension song of all time. But as great as the Goddess Laura Nyro is, the greatest version of this particular song is sung by the Goddess Marilyn McCoo.

Marilyn, my darling, if I weren't married with children, I'd like so totally want to have children with you. Assuming the Sainted Bride didn't kill me:



Okay, it's not just the Goddess Marilyn. It's all the other great folks in the 5th Dimension. You folks are so freakin' cool.

UPDATE: Oh man. Came across this. And I couldn't resist embedding it:



Okay, sorry for the lack of pics, but it's the freakin' 5th Dimension! Deal with it.

Nice. Much of her stuff is not my style, but definitely very nice.

she is the lead female vocalist for the Coral Reefer Band (Jimmy Buffett's band) and often steals the show when she sings. I'll have to see if I can find the good clips.
