"(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" – The 5th Dimension

[media=https://youtu.be/3OY77yy7V00]
Top Ten hit in the US, Canada, and Australia, recorded by the popular American vocal group, the 5th Dimension.

Songwriter Tony Macaulay first pitched "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" to the Carpenters. They told Macaulay they loved the song and initially agreed to record it, but later had second thoughts because it mentioned the use of a sleeping pill. The songwriter subsequently edited out the reference.

However, Macaulay was unhappy with the change, and when he was contacted the following week by the 5th Dimension’s record producer, he offered the song to the group. They performed it as it was originally written.

I love this song. Cannot imagine the Carpenters would have done a better job with it. Is that Marilyn McCoo singing lead? I am singing to it now, Rutterman. Thank you for this musical posting.

@PoetryNEmotion Karen Carpenter was a fine singer and I'm sure she would have done a good job with the song, but I agree that it couldn't have been any better than the 5th Dimension's performance. They were perfect for the song, in my opinion.

Yes, that is Marilyn McCoo singing lead.
