The Fifth Dimension were a 60s "soul" band who, in addition to their tune from Hair, had lots o' hits here in the states: "Wedding Bell Blues (Marry me Bill)", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Up, Up and Away", "Never My Love", and "Last Night, I Didn't get to sleep." If you owned an am radio in the late 60s, early 70s you couldn't miss hearing them. Two of their members, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. went on to success as a duo, as well as success individually. Sheena Easton is a Scottish singer(/actress) who, for a time, was also Prince's girlfriend. Leah, you make me feel REALLY old!

I thought Sheena Easton was an actress...at least I know I'm not crazy now....but I still can't think of that song. You make me feel really young (in that "I don't know anything" way), if that's any consolation.

I love that song. I used to have a big crush on Chip Hawkes - and met him recently when he (and his son Chesney) played at my local theatre when I was stewarding. He's still pretty gorgeous. > The U.S. number 1 on the 15th May 1981 was Morning Train (Nine to Five) > by Sheena Easton > The U.K. number 1 on the 15th May 1981 was Stand And Deliver by Adam And > The Ants Debbie's right - they're both classics in their own way. Sheena Easton was a wee Scottish lass from Glasgow until Esther Rantzen (note the Dels connection here!!!) gave her a makeover and got her a record deal, and then did a show about it called The Big Time - she released Nine to Five and the next thing you know she's playing Don Johnson's wife in Miami Vice and Prince is writing songs for her. "My baby caught the morning train, he works from night to five and then he gets the train back home again to find me waiting for him" Really deep and meaningful lyrics......not! "Night time is the right time,,, we make love" And as for Adam and The Ants... they were HUGE at the time. Stand and Deliver, Ant Music, Prince Charming.... because of him millions of British kids were walking around with Tippex painted over their noses. And Adam Ant was one of the first with the frilly shirts, later copied by Spandau and Duran and all the other so-called "New Romantics". > Jane ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V2 #172 **********************************
