Wikipedia:
Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures) is a medley of two songs written for the 1967 musical Hair, released as a single by American R&B group the 5th Dimension. The instrumental backing was provided by session musicians commonly known as the Wrecking Crew. The actual recording is something of a rarity: the song was recorded in two cities, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, then mixed together in the studio. The song listed at number 66 on Billboard’s Greatest Songs of All Time.
