FOREVER 5th DIMENSION is so sorry to note the passing of music legend Sergio Mendes who melded the Bosa Nova sounds of Brazil with Pop, Jazz & Soul to bring glorious hits including “The Look of Love,” “Pretty World,” “The Fool on the Hill,” “Mas Que Nada” and many more. So many fans of The 5th Dimension were also fans of Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66. And Sergio Mendes & Brazil ’77 and The 5th Dimension were label mates on Bell records in the early ’70’s, with Sergio’s “Love Music” and “Vintage” albums being produced by renowned 5th Dimension producer Bones Howe. Here is our dear, Ms. Marilyn McCoo performing with Sergio Mendes when she hosted the iconic “Solid Gold” bringing a stunningly joyful medley of 2 of Sergio’s most beloved hits. –Robert-Allan Arno
