*Intelligent, beautiful, and talented are words that are frequently used when describing glamorous Florence LaRue, the original member of the legendary 5th Dimension.
Whether on stage performing, lecturing, or serving as a celebrity judge for beauty pageants, such as Miss Universe, Miss LaRue juggles her roles as mother, grandmother, speaker, actress, vocalist, and humanitarian with the same electric perfection that she devotes to ballads such as “One Less Bell” which bears The 5th Dimension trademark.
“I give my best to whatever I am involved with,” explains the concerned citizen, who is also a six-time GRAMMY® winning star.
Although she plans to continue with The 5th Dimension, Miss LaRue is excited about the new direction her career has taken as a solo artist. She has added two titles behind her name: After writing the lyrics to the beautiful ballad, “Say,” recorded by The 5th Dimension, Florence was inspired to continue her song writing. She is also in the process of completing a soon to be published book, “Let YOUR Light Shine,” “The Physical, Mental and Spiritual Dimensions of Beauty.”
Florence is also excited about her one woman show, “Just As I Am,” which has received rave reviews. Mrs. Mary Sias, president of the Kentucky State University where Miss LaRue presented her show stated: “While the music was uplifting and exciting and delivered with an amazing energy, it was the story interwoven between the songs that was spellbinding.”
Miss LaRue will perform a few specially selected songs at 1:30pm followed by a meet and greet with fans.
