Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr of '60s hitmakers The Fifth Dimension write their story.

TWO SINGERS from the million-selling pop and R&B group of the '60s, The Fifth Dimension, have written a book together. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr have penned Up, Up And Away (named after 5th Dimension's biggest hit "Beautiful Balloon"). The book tells of the group's success and sudden demise and McCoo and Davis' road towards Christian faith. Said Christian Retailing magazine, "If this book has one true thread - and it has many - it is that all things truly do work for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose." A CD with two new songs by McCoo and Davis is included in the book package. CR
