An excerpt from an article in The Sacramento Observer, sometime in 1971, headline The Quiet and Shy Ronnie Dyson:

While in high school, Ronnie's focus was on medicine, with the idea of eventually becoming a doctor (a goal he hasn't entirely put out of his mind). But the big break came along at age seventeen, and all that was unexpectedly turned around. This particular break came in the form of a part in an off-Broadway musical that was moving to Broadway for a . . . opening. That musical was "Hair," and Ronnie Dyson opened up the show with his powerful singing of a song called "Aquarius," which was written especially for him. To call "Hair" a success would be one of the understatements of all time, and Ronnie's rendition of "Aquarius" was one of the highlights of the show.

@Dean: Thanks, I remember hearing the story from Casey Kasem. Apparently Dyson's "Hair" contract specified he could NOT record "Aquarius" as a solo artist, which left the door wide open for the 5th Dimension.
