“Paper Cup” #34 12/9/1967

Jimmy Webb was one of the finest songwriters of the 60’s, and he was only 21 when he broke through with “Up, Up And Away” for the 5th Dimension. Here he also wrote their followup, and though it didn’t do nearly as well, the group loved working with him. The video is from a Cleveland local “Bandstand”-type show called “Upbeat” which was syndicated nationally for a few years. Dig the fashion sense!
