It’s a Florence LaRue Celebration

Posted on February 4, 2022 | Leave a comment

Dateline Feb 4: The day possesses a special brand of magic for Florence LaRue fans the world over, for it’s the birthday of our “delightful diva!” It’s been a special year for Florence with the release of her inspirational life & style book, “Grace in Your Second Act” and an accompanying media tour. And Florence’s enthusiasm in being part of the docu-film blockbuster “Summer of Soul” underscores another highlight. Not to mention continuing to lead The 5th Dimension to sold-out crowds on multi-season tours, navigating smoothly through pandemic safety. Personally, I cannot forget the charming way I celebrated my own birthday in August, as guest of Florence at one of the group’s east coast concerts. The crucifix I proudly wear around my neck is something she gifted me with for the occasion and marks the thoughtfulness, care and faith my dear friend and the world’s legendary icon stands for. And now our “Florence Celebration” prevails at this FOREVER 5th DIMENSION link as her musical colleagues and the fans weigh in, with an in-depth biographical tribute, updated for 2022: –Robert-Allan Arno

Our Heartfelt Condolences

Posted on February 2, 2022 | Leave a comment

Forever 5th Dimension is so sorry to report the passing of current member of The 5th Dimension, Leonard Tucker‘s lovely wife Denice. On behalf of the worldwide fans, we extend our deep condolences and many prayers. Leonard expresses his thoughts so poignantly; we share as follows, as a testimony to Denice and their eternal love.

–Robert-Allan Arno

“On January 28 we lost our battle with cancer and God received the angel back into His loving arms, whom he gifted me 44 years ago. My heart aches to tell you this news, but even more because I miss her already, incredibly. Heaven was truly missing an angel until now. As you know, Denice found the strength to accompany me on The 5th Dimension’s recent concert Cruise of the Caribbean where we celebrated, early her 64th birthday. We had an incredible time together just relaxing and reflecting on our incredibly blessed life together. I’m so very glad we were able to share this last adventure and experience together. Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers and if you would for me, a special prayer of thanks to God for my Angel Denice–an amazing wife, mother, and the best friend anyone could ever have.“

I love you all. Thank you, and God bless you,

Leonard

Honoring Black History Month

Posted on February 1, 2022 | Leave a comment

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth from Forever 5th Dimension. We begin with The 5th Dimension‘s medley of “A Change is Gonna Come” with “People Gotta be Free.” This tour-de-force mashup that’s forever in our hearts, comes from the seminal PORTRAIT project of 1970 where, as Marilyn McCoo recounted, “The 5th Dimension wanted to make our version of a protest album.” With one of our greatest Soul singers, Mr. Billy Davis, Jr. at the hub, Sam Cooke’s anthem of pathos and “defiant uplift” takes on a life of even greater magnitude. Coupled with “Free,” there is resolution in a way so specific to The 5th Dimension–that of unbridled joy and vibrant finesse–that the medley heralds the unique legacy of “The 5th,” itself during this special month.

~~Robert-Allan Arno
