His biographer, actor Robert-Allan Arno wrote, produced & announced this presentation for the ceremony, which The Soul of The Voice, Ltd. is proud to share with "Mac's" worldwide fans... The script features the following narrative: Garnering 6 Grammys and countless Gold & Platinum records, Mac delivered “The 5th's" elegant brand of Champagne Soul as the quintet's smooth bass for over 40 years. Always the visionary, LaMonte put together the harmonies of Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue and Ron Townson with his own, to bring indelible hits like: "Up-Up and Away," "Stoned Soul Picnic" and "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," anthems for a generation which uplifted our country during turbulent times.
