Lead vocals the were sung by Marilyn McCoo. She was fantastic …
Allison: Funny you should pick this song. I'm doing it at my next gig... I do the 5th Dimension, Marilyn McCoo's version!
Monika: What is your favourite line in the song?
Allison: "One less man to pick up after... No more laughter, no more love....."
Monika: The song was extremely popular among the top divas. It was covered by: Barbra Streisand, Rita Reys, Dionne Warwick, Shirley Bassey and Sheryl Crow. What was so special about it?
Allison: Beautiful melody.....a real tear jerker.....you can sing it from the heart.
Monika: Are you often asked to perform this song?
Allison: I choose my songs, (Just like Barbra!) I pull it out once in a while as my show stopper .... not too often.
Monika: You wear a very elegant jewelry set!
Allison: Thank you!! They're vintage from a second-hand store.....just like Second Hand Rose!!! You always say the most lovely things to me Monika!!!!!
