Any of the numerous 5th Dimension anthologies still available are filled
with treasures, some buried. The McCoo showcase “(Last Night) I Didn’t
Get to Sleep at All” is one the most beautifully melancholic pop songs
ever. Their version of Nyro’s “Stoned Soul Picnic” isn’t as earthy as
Nyro’s own, but it glides on air, and their jubilant covers of her
“Wedding Bell Blues,” “Save the Country,” and “Sweet Blindness” make you
wish they’d also cut an album entirely of Nyro songs. Listen as McCoo
and Davis (who would marry in 1969) exalt in each other in “Together
Let’s Find Love,” one of their later and sometimes forgotten hits.
