BIOGRAPHY in BRIEF:
McCoo & Davis have left their mark on the music industry. The pair first found fame as lead singers and co-founders of the original 5th Dimension, the legendary group behind classics such as “Up-Up & Away,” (Grammy Hall of Fame, 2004) and “Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In,” (Grammy Hall of Fame, 2003). After leaving the quintet, Marilyn & Billy broke barriers as the first Black married couple to star in their own TV series after garnering the mega hit, “You Don’t Have to Be a Star (to be in My Show).”
The seven-time Grammy Award-winning duo performed at the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, are winners of the Tokyo Musical Festival, and recipients of four Playboy Jazz Festival wins. In 2021, they released their first studio album in 30 years. “Blackbird: Lennon-McCartney Icons” weaves themes of social justice into soulful renditions of classic Beatles hits. The album was met with critical acclaim for breathing new life into “Blackbird.”
Beyond their musical achievements, the couple was featured in Questlove’s directorial debut “Summer of Soul,” has made countless television appearances, authored a book, and headlined Las Vegas.
