Age of Aquarius is one of the foundational albums in the development of my musical tastes - when the moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars….
Thanks for covering an artist I didn't know, and it's too bad Patti's career didn't take off as she had a lovely voice. I have to say that listening to her version I thought it needed much stronger backup singing and harmony, and then I heard the Fifth Dimension version and said that's it. But as you say, Bones Howe and the Wrecking Crew were behind the scenes working their magic!

Sorry, I haven't noticed TPF's version is mentioned too
It was also covered by The Partridge Family

This is one of my favorite songs recorded by The Fifth Dimension. (I ranked it in my Top Ten of 1969.) I had no idea of it's life before that. Thanks!
