Individually and Collectively [2] is the seventh studio album by the American Pop group The 5th Dimension, released in 1972. The album peaked at No. 58 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart on June 24, 1972. This album includes both of the group's final top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart — "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" (also No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart) and "If I Could Reach You". Both feature lead vocals by Marilyn McCoo. "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" was their sixth and final RIAA Platinum Record.

Contents

The album's title is reflective of the record containing content in which the group goes from its famous five-part harmonies to lead-feature songs. Billy Davis, Jr. is the lead on nearly half of the album, including on the group's cover of Elton John's "Border Song". Ron Townson is also issued a rare lead vocal on "Band of Gold". "Black Patch", a Laura Nyro composition which ends the album, features each member taking lead on part of a verse, including – for the first time – Lamonte McLemore. The group performed this final song on Soul Train , along with the 1973 non-album single, "Flashback" [3] .
