“Puppet Man” #24 5/30/1970

Yet another of those really good songs your hardly hear on the radio any more, if ever. The 5th Dimension was at the height of their popularity coming off their second #1 single. They tried more daring material, like a medley of the words to the Declaration of Independence, Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” and the Rascals’ “People Got To Be Free.” It didn’t sell. This was co-written by Neil Sedaka.
