7/26/23: Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr., the 7-time Grammy winning original lead singers of legends, The 5th Dimension…the “You Don’t Have to be a Star” duo dubbed the First Couple of Pop & Soul, celebrate their 54 years of marriage on July 26, 2023. The ever-beautiful Marilyn, the debonair Billy, stand for artistic joy as they continue to tour, appearing on concert stages and in cabaret venues to their greatest reviews, record new music, and brighten our TV & social media screens. More so, they represent the spiritual sweetness of a union that stands the test of time. Yes, they always put their elemental friendship and trust in God first, in all they do.
