“Stoned Soul Picnic” #3 7/27/1968

The record that put Laura Nyro on the map as a songwriter became the biggest hit to date for the 5th Dimension. The group was quite surprised to discover a song they fell in love with was written by a 20-year-old Caucasian girl. Their producer, Bones Howe, introduced them to Nyro’s music; they would record several more of her songs over the next few years. A Wrecking Crew record all the way.
