We Can Build a Dream with Love

“There’s a King at the Glory River…

and the precious king got the people to sing…

we can build a dream with love.”

from *Save the Country, written by Laura Nyro, recorded by The 5th Dimension

FOREVER 5th DIMENSION and The Original 5th Dimension’s cherished stars, Marilyn & Billy, Florence and LaMonte–each of whom I’ve just communicated with–honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and his tenants of Equality, Justice, Unity and Service.

With Respect on Dr. Martin Luther King Day, 2026,

Robert-Allan Arno

Manager Jason Winters, commented eloquently on our post as follows:

“Thank you, Sir Robert. On this blessed celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, we are reminded of Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis Jr and The Original 5th Dimension’s excellence. Amazing. Powerful. Truth. Genius.”

Inspiring 5th

From LaMonte McLemore’s Facebook page:

During these troubling times of national concern, we can not think of a better song to share by The 5th Dimension with Billy in the lead: “A Change is Gonna Come” (w/ “People Gotta Be Free.”) This is one of LaMonte’s all-time favorite musical moments, its feeling ends his memoir “From Hobo Flats to The 5th Dimension” on a hopeful note. As we pray for the eternal memory of Mr. George Floyd, his family, and for rightful justice, let us stand in unity for good…for change…for the true freedom of a brighter day.– Mieko & LaMonte McLemore with Robert-Allan Arno

From Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.’s social media:

Our hearts go out to the family of George Floyd for their loss. Such a senseless act of police brutality. When will this stop? We are all here for one another. We as Americans can’t survive without each other. It’s time for all of us to stand up to injustice.–Marilyn & Billy
