Originally written and recorded by Laura Nyro in 1966, this became a #1 Hot 100 hit for The 5th Dimension in 1969. It was the third time they had a hit with a Laura Nyro cover. I prefer Laura's original, but it's a great song either way.

Come on and marry me, Bill
As it happened, shortly after this song was recorded, the 5th Dimension's Billy Davis, Jr. and Marilyn McCoo got married... and they're still together!

I like it, in either version. The 5th Dimension cover stuck pretty close to the original.

I like all the versions of this one, especially 5th Dimension. It was also one of my favorite Glee covers from season 3 as well.
