Marrry me Bill Song
David Horkey
Any idea who the artist is who sang the old "Marry me Bill" number from the
"silly song" fantasy sequence. I know it's not Vonda.

The original song is called "Wedding Bell Blues", was written by
Laura Nyro, and was a hit for The 5th Dimension in 1969 (15 weeks on
the chart, 3 of them at #1).
I don't remember whether that was the version that was used on the show,
though (wasn't paying that close attention).

Well, Marilyn McCoo from the former group, The Fifth Dimension, was the
original artist to sing it in the late sixties. But I'm not sure
whether that was her voice or not.

"Wedding Bell Blues" is one of my favorite songs of all time -- I realize this
isn't really vital info for anyone around here, but I had to throw my 2 cents
in --
Amy, who bought "Best of the 5th Dimension" just for this song

Don't forget to play the cut of "One Less Bell to Answer" while you're
listening. Trust me on this.

Oh, my -- make me cry! That was one of those songs I'd listen to over and
over and over during my younger days. Thanks for reminding me <sob>! :-)

That was Vonda's voice.

I believe that it was a Vonda cover on
"Wedding Bell Blues".
However, I've always loved the "Fifth Dimension"--
I had a fourth grade teacher who used to play
their albums during Math Tests and Rainy Reccesses.
I owe my musical soul to Mrs. Kelly.

It's Marilyn McCoo from the group Fifth Dimension.

Marilyn McCoo sang the original. Vonda sang it for the Ally episode.

The song is actually called "Wedding Bell Blues" and it was originally recorded
by the Fifth Dimension. In a way, it was a love letter from the song's lead
singer, Marilyn McCoo, who did convince her "Bill" (Billy Davis, Jr., another
of the Dimension's singers) to marry her.

It's called "Wedding Bell Blues", originally from the 60's - by the Fifth
Dimension..
