#Summer5thFun Let’s go “strollin’ on the boardwalk, on a hot summer day at the shore, by the sea” with “On the Beach (In the Summertime)”…a fan fave by The 5th Dimension. Released as a single-only by Bell Records, thinking it was time to move on from the PORTRAIT album, the late Ron Townson reported to us, during the time of The Original 5th Dimension reunion tour, “I really liked this song (which Townson begins singing with, ‘On the beach, where the happenings are flowing,” in double voice) but it wasn’t released during the summer, when it should have been!” Producer Bones Howe commented to FOREVER 5th DIMENSION, “Even though it was released during the wrong season and is rather obscure, it stands as a quintessential summer song by The 5th. And then we realized PORTRAIT still had legs when ‘One Less Bell” became a delayed, break-out mega hit!”
Enjoy “On the Beach (In the Summertime),” re-mastered as a bonus cut for the PORTRAIT album re-issue, here:
