   Singer LaMonte McLemore, a founding member of vocal group The 5th   
   Dimension, whose smooth pop and soul sounds with a touch of psychedelia   
   brought them big hits in the 1960s and ’70s, has died. He was 90.   
      
   McLemore died Tuesday at his home in Las Vegas surrounded by family, his   
   representative Jeremy Westby said in a statement. He died of natural   
   causes after having a stroke.   
      
   The 5th Dimension had broad crossover success and won six Grammy Awards   
   including record of the year twice, for 1967’s “Up, Up and Away” and   
   1969’s “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In.” Both were also top 10 pop hits,   
   with the latter, a mashup of songs from the musical “Hair,” spending six   
   weeks at No. 1.   
      
   McLemore had a parallel career as a sports and celebrity photographer   
   whose pictures appeared in magazines including Jet.   
      
   Born in St. Louis, McLemore served in the Navy, where he worked as an   
   aerial photographer. He played baseball in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ farm   
   system and settled in Southern California, where he began making use of   
   his warm bass voice and skill with a camera.
