Unused theme tune from the unofficial James Bond film "Never Say Never Again". Think it's a bit better than the one they used..

Phyllis Hyman - "Never Say Never Again"

As a Youtuber person said, it does sound a bit like "All Time High" from "Octopussy". Both films would be coming out basically at the same time.

Listening to "The Essential Fifth Dimension" right now — haven't delved into the albums too much, but there isn't a truly bad track on this retrospective, although the long medley of the constitution is a bit ripe.

The 5th Dimension were more on the pop side of Soul music but they have some great tracks, Jimmy Webb wrote "Up Up and Away" their most famous tune. They joined Motown in the 70s for a couple of LPs and Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo released a few duet albums together also. They aren't must haves but I'd recommend them if you like the 5D.

Love Eugene Record, and the Chi-Lites in general — tend towards very soft soul from the 70s, but I love sunshine pop, and that's basically what The Fifth Dimension are, with a bit of soul.

Love this, by the Dynamic Superiors — they had one of the first gay frontmen in pop music, including some drag performances..

If you like the 5D then you might have heard of the Friends of Distinction

Also like the Dynamic Superiors, they were on Motown but aren't a stereotypical Motown group like the Four Tops, Temps et al. There was a plethora of great soul vocal groups and solo singers in the 70s, most didn't really last beyond the Disco trend unfortunately.
