The Fifth Estate
The Fifth Estate is a band that originated in Stamford, Connecticut, during the early 1960s, initially performing under the name The D-Men. The group gained national recognition with their 1967 hit "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead," which cleverly reimagined a classic from *The Wizard of Oz* and climbed to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Known for their engaging live performances, The Fifth Estate shared the stage with some iconic acts of the era, including The Rolling Stones and The Byrds. Their sound evolved significantly throughout their career, incorporating elements of garage rock, pop, and psychedelia, reflecting the vibrant musical landscape of the time.
After disbanding in 1967, the members pursued various paths in music until reuniting in 2004. Since then, they've released several albums, showcasing their enduring passion for music and adaptability. Recent works like *Then and Now* and *Anthology Volume 1: The Witch is Dead* highlight their creative evolution and commitment to their roots, ensuring that their legacy in the rock world continues to resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners.
