Title

3921 West Belle Place - The Fifth Dimension

Description

Formed in the 1960s, the Fifth Dimension was a band whose “champagne soul” sound permeated the city of St. Louis and beyond. Having earned six Grammys and over twenty Top 40 hits, the group comprised of Billy Davis Jr., Florence La Rue, Lamonte McLemore, Marilyn McCoo, and Ronald Townson has remained a prime example of the effect of St. Louis on the music industry, as well as the genre-crossing success of fantastic music.
