Why they might be annoying:

    They appear on religious shows like the PTL.
    They are Christians and speak out against sex and violence in the media.
    Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr married, went to E.S.T. training and embarked on a career apart from the 5th Dimension (1975).
    McCoo and Davis continued their solo career, but still collaborated with the 5th Dimension.
    Their medley, 'Declaration/A Change Is Gonna Come/People Got To Be Free,' was performed in front of President Nixon and it caused controversy.
    It was a combination of the reading of the Declaration of Independence with the realization that some people were not entirely free.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Ed Sullivan called them 'One of the classiest groups we've ever had on the show. Their class is with a Capital C.'
    They have a cleancut all-American image.
    They do a lot of charitable benefits concerning child abuse, gynecological cancers and arthritis.
