Diana Ross and the Brotherhood of Man covered "Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes." The 5th Dimension, though, had a Top 20 hit with it in 1971. Meet the enigmatic composer of that powerful song.
This is a lovely song, one I haven’t heard before. When reading the lyrics it reads very much like a poem, but not necessarily one that would work well as a song. But when I went back and listened to the 5D performance again while reading the lyrics, it actually works so incredibly well!
And, somehow, a virtually untried and unknown songwriter lands an unlikely song with an already proven hit machine. Lightning.....what a bizarre occurrence! You're right about the poem nature of the lyrics. But, the music carries the day, and Marilyn brings it home!
