We Get Fan Letters!

Posted on June 27, 2024 | Leave a comment

It’s always nice to get notes of appreciation, not only from our stars, but from worldwide fans. Here’s one FOREVER 5th DIMENSION received a few days ago from “mnhmeza“:

I love this blog so very much!! Thank you! I was born the year The 5th Dimension began but remember their wonderfully uplifting music from my older brothers. Recently I have been watching YouTube videos of their performances and just love it! I love reading about them and seeing old photos. I especially love the inspiration from Billy Davis Jr. & Marilyn McCoo! Their wonderful devotion to each other and their love story and the dedication they have to their spiritual journey! Thank you for sharing the updates on them and the original 5 (and tributes to Ron since his passing).

Thank you so kindly, “Forever a Fan” for your enthusiasm and support of Forever 5th Dimension and our favorite stars–yesterday, today, and always! —Robert-Allan Arno

A Very Special Letter

Posted on June 18, 2024 | Leave a comment

Approaching our 17th year of FOREVER 5th DIMENSION in late July, I can never take for granted the support of our “favorite stars”—Florence, LaMonte, Marilyn & Billy— and their respective colleagues, management, and family. Today, I share this lovely note received from the First Couple of Pop n’ Soul, as they have recently checked in with the festivities here:

Dear Robert,

Your FOREVER 5th DIMENSION pages are absolutely amazing!!  What a collection of our history and the wonderfully creative ways you lay things out!  You are a true artist, and we love to see your work.  You have captured our lives in a most beautiful way; we are so blessed to have you as our “supreme archivist.” 

Love,

Billy & Marilyn

P.S. Billy says thanks for acknowledging him and LaMonte on Father’s Day!

Father’s Day Reflection

Posted on June 16, 2024 | Leave a comment

We’re wishing dads, uncles, brothers, mentors, teachers, pastors and yes, superb singers…all the great men who have influenced us in such positive transformative ways…a Happy & Blessed Father’s Day! ❤ Taking this personal opportunity to acknowledge LaMonte McLemore and Billy Davis, Jr. who have greatly impacted me in how to conduct myself in “the entertainment biz”…and in life. These gentle yet dynamic men are dear familial friends, who have guided and mentored me to this day…it is a blessing to have them on the proverbial journey and with this being the 1st Father’s Day without my beloved dad, their presence is underscored, all the more.

#BlackOutTuesday

Black

Forever 5th Dimension observes the music industry’s Black Out Tuesday as we turn off the music and support a day to reflect and implement change in response to the tragic death of George Floyd and the killings of other Black people. Together, we stand for equality, justice and hope.
