Up, Up And Away

Up – Up and Away is the debut album by the American pop group the 5th Dimension, released in April 1967. The title track was released as a single and became a major pop hit. The group's first single release on Soul City Records, "Train Keep On Moving/I'll Be Loving You Forever" was not a success, and is not included in the album. Both songs appear as bonus tracks on a later CD reissue of the album. The first single released from this album, "Go Where You Wanna Go", was initially recorded by the Mamas & the Papas and appears on their first album. The 5th Dimension's version became a top 20 hit in the US, reaching No. 16. The group's second release, "Another Day, Another Heartache", also charted, peaking at No. 45. It was their third release, the ubiquitous "Up, Up and Away", that launched both the group and the song's writer, Jimmy Webb, into super-stardom. The group and the song amassed a total of five different Grammy Awards between them in 1968. Many different artists have since recorded versions of the song.
