Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.

   Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, an accomplishment that few entertainers can note. The couple first met as members of the Fifth Dimension, the legendary group that transcended music audiences during the 1960s and early 1970s.

   Ms. McCoo and Mr. Davis say that there is no magic bullet for having had a successful marriage in or out of the business. "In our case, faith and friendship keeps us together," says Ms. McCoo.

   Ms. McCoo and Mr. Davis wrote a book titled Up, Up and Away ... How We Found Love Faith and Marriage in the Entertainment World. They conduct marriage and relationship seminars, and they recently released a new CD The Many Faces of Love, a collection of meaningful love songs from the era of the 1960s and 1970s.
