- The recording artists celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, but it didn't always look like they'd get there... The Christian Broadcasting Network CBN www.cbn.com
It's 2019. They are going on 50 years of marriage. Praise God. God bless them.
I love these two so glad to see they are living for the Lord and still are married
Yes 50 years of Marriage thank you Jesus.
Yes. They are so awesome. 💘
I've loved these 2 since I was a kid in the 70s, still do and it warms my heart in this cold world to see them still together. I always thought Marilyn had of the greatest voice in music, and she is so so beautiful! I listen to their music everyday.
Devout Christians that love the Lord with all their hearts.
Pure class. I've loved their music since the early 70s.
I met Marilyn and Billy on 2 separate occasions. Wonderful people and I'm so happy to have met them. God bless you both. Much love...
That's awesome. Even when I was a kid, I always thought they seemed like wonderful people.
Met the 5th Dimension as a kid in Pasadena CA in 1977, super, super nice people, Mr Lamont was the centerfold photographer for Jet magazine,. Man time flies.
Their long marriage is so beautiful. Over 40 years of a beautiful relationship and still going strong. That is so admirable. They are truly soul mates.
10/5/21: saw them this month at Ridgefield Playhouse, CT and they were fabulous!! Never missed a beat, their voices were strong & beautiful. What a blessing to see these legends live.
It is so nice to see them again! Billy was honest when he said it should have been him to tell Marilyn "Lets go GOD is calling us!
More like fornication is calling.
I love this couple. Bless both of you and the wonderful music you have given the world.
You can tell he really truly deeply loves her because she is still so gorgeous and healthy! A man's love waters a woman like a flower.
True :)

Beautifully said! You are indeed a poet and philosopher wrapped in one tidy package.
...AMEN...So well said...🌱
She was the main reason I watched Solid Gold as a kid. God bless them both.
These two aged so gracefully, their bond is amazing.
Marilyn is 71 and still looks beautiful. This is one lady where she's maintained her beauty throughout the years. Billy, if I were you I'd be thanking the Lord everyday to have Marilyn.
Straightupshooter And vice versa, he looks better then she does at his age..
Craig Blast
lol, sorry can't comment on that, I'm not of that persuasion. I'm an expert on women, not men.
Straightupshooter
Really, never saw an old buddy and said hey man you looking good? or are you that insecure?
Craig Blast
Nope, not insecure. I really don't know how to judge males, never have, couldn't tell you if a guy is a great looking guy whom a woman would go crazy over. Take Adam Levine, voted sexiest male by a magazine and women oodle over him, but I think he looks hideous. I'm not good at judging males at all.
Straightupshooter AAAmen !
God has and continues to BLESS the both of you! Congratulations Marilyn & Billy.
Beautiful high spirited people !
Billy & Marilyn wishing you health , happiness , divine guidance !
Bright lights in a crazy fast paced world ...
Thanks for the wonderful music ..
🎷❤🙏
What a great story! FYI, I had not looked ya'll up since I was 10 years old in 1969. Marilyn's great voice came up at a class reunion, I started viewing you guys on RUclips and even in 1969, I looked at ya'll at said "those people are different." I guess what my young spirit was seeing was "those people are going to make a difference." I wasn't aware you weren't saved then until just seeing this clip. Makes a heart spark to see ya'll be blessed, smiling, honest and standing up for the path that got you there. Happy Anniversary!
Me and my husband have been together 41 years. He's a musician they are a special breed.
Marilyn is a beautiful women with a spectacular voice.
They are my favorite couple of all time! God bless them both!
Fabulous Marilyn Macoo & Billy Davis, wonderful testimony..Thank you for the music, thank you for the songs!
Beautiful! I love this testimony. Marriage is great and beautiful when both people are true to God and themselves......AWESOME!
Ive always been big time fans of Marilyn and Billy...and the Fifth Dimension..although I was a very young child when their songs hit the charts. There seemed to be something special about each person in that group. Ive also admired each of them...and I am proud of the clean, fresh style of music that they recorded and sang...they have always been a good and positive image of the African-American community. I have written to both of them before, and I hope to meet them one day and experience their ministries!
A family that prays together stays together , God bless this awesome couple
I will get their book. I just saw them last month and took my mom. They were beyond fabulous. Voices and stage presence never left them. They were so, so entertaining and the love shines from the stage to the audience. God bless them.
Thank you for everything and all the hard work Marilyn and Billy.
Thanks for sharing. I was a huge fan of the Fifth Dimension when growing up. Ah Those were the days when you could understand, sing-a-long with the lyrics, and the lyrics make since. Your Sister in Christ.
Amen...
I live in Japan, a secular land of a thousand gods. And though I am not a Christian, found this interview to be both delightful and useful. Consider this 'spiritual naturalist' subscribed.
God Bless both of you 🙏 for your God given talents. I love both of you so much. I have read your book and it is a wonderful read. Canadian love 💘 coming your way. Keep up the great work for the Lord and your music. Thank you so much.
Wow, this is truly amazing!!! It's just wonderful how God can take 2 of the top secular singers, and save them. How He can take all their tests and turn the into a Wonderful Testimony, to encouragesome other young souL!!!
This interview was very encouraging! I've only been married 11 yrs. but it still seems like we're on our honeymoon, and after watching and listening to them I'm excited and looking forward to the next 39 years! I KNOW it can work, we just don't see enough success stories in the news. I think if Christ is truly at the center, you have the best chance for success!
What a great couple! They are so upbeat! Marilyn looks beautiful, so much younger than her age.
GOD Bless these Wonderful Americans who survived the obstacles and remained together! GOD Bless my fellow Americans who shared that happiness with the rest of us!
This is a beautiful couple. I'm sure they've had their ups and down. Love conquers all. The best to them always.
What an uplifting message. I love these guys!
Beautiful testimonial. Beautiful couple! Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for all the great music and the memories they have given me. Keep it coming!

Look at how beautiful she still is. Both of them. Ya see the difference in the people who have God and those who don't wow. Amazing. Wonderful indeed.
Hippy(Bboomer) - you don't have to be a star......to be in God's show! :) God'll make you one if you keep Him first.
Yep - 45 years...that's pretty cool. They walk the walk, not just talking the talk.
I had no idea they were Christian until seeing this interview...awesome!
I CANNOT. BELIEVE BILLY SAID IT WAS NOT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! MY EARS MUST BE! DECEIVING ME
you hit the nail right on the head...."more power to em"
your love spirit and togetherness is truly the lords masterpiece we love you both for being a part of our live's!!!
I just love this story about Marilyn & Billy. They are great role-models . The world needs more people like them .
What a wonderful story of music, love, marriage, and friendship. I love this video and I love this couple. They're living God's plan.
Just saw them at Queensborough CC last Sunday. They are married for 46 years and She is 72 and sings GREAT!!! What a wonderful show they did, so many hits
Awesome message, awesome couple, awesome Lord and Savior JESUS!
these two have so much class. Praise God!
Thank God for people like this and they look so good for people that have been playing and singing in the 60 so they were adults in the sixties so that makes them at least 20 years older than I am to 25 years older cuz I was just a little kid I was born in 62 I know they had in 67 68 69 so they were adults then while I was just maybe like one look up good they look God blessing for being Christian today I hear that you're over fifty years of marriage when I 51 to 52 years married still together
I truly enjoyed seeing the two of you in this beautiful interview and staying strong with Jesus! I listened to your music then and now. What a great love story!!
Awesome! That is beautiful they're still married. God love marriage
Hallelujah Hallelujah!!!! Give All Glory to God/Jesus...
Such an relaxing, yet, encouraging interview about their careers, marriage, and strong spiritual center.
God bless them for the joy they've given millions of listeners, and for finding His goodness.

What a wonderful couple! I'm so glad you're Christians!
God Bless them both! What a great couple and boy did I have a crush on her as a kid!!
It’s 2022.
They have now been married for
53 years.
Wow!
That’s amazing.
I was 10 years old in 1965 and had a crush on Marilyn ever since it was her spirit and her heart beside her beauty full ness !
Oh Yes
Everyone always says Billy is a lucky guy. But Marilyn is also a lucky girl. Both of them had their issues. Read their book and you will see.
Marilyn McCoo is soooo beautiful! I love her!
EVERYONE should listen to this couple. GOD bless them!
American treasures...
Great talented, lovely couple. Love them.
God be with them.
Praise God for this incredible testimony!
...So glad this couple stayed together and as Christians ...✝️
These two are so koo!!! And again they give an awesome testimony. If you haven't read their book Up Up and Away, please do.
Beautiful couple inside and out!
I love this couple, true love, not this mess of today. I am so jealous of Marilyn, back in the 60s I wanted to be her, talented, famous, beautiful, great dresser, traveler, hippies, fame, and on on . Meeting a good looking man, o boy, I wish I had her life. But, God is good. They'er still a beautiful couple and still can sing. Much love to them, we still love your music, because it is the best of the best. We have to get the young people into this. God Bless.
I wish to LIKE this comment 10x over and over.
I love hearing her talk..she sounds quite intelligent. They deserve each other, both appear to be very nice people.. perfect couple.
I agree with every word the say,it gets better with time, whatever problems you had, if there is real love,if you accept the help of the Lord.
I'm glad they can stay married for so long. I managed 18 and half years then I got divorced and I was so happy when I got divorced.
Wouldn't we all like to say that our relationship was that good with each other... Gotta love it.
wow she still look great!
What a great couple ..she 'is' the most beautiful woman ever ..always loved them both ..and now I know why.
Praise the Lord on High! Uncontrollable drinking ruins people. God bless these two wonderful Born Again Christians! God is always in control even when we think we are. He has a way of shaking the limbs on our tree to wake us up. We need to be still to receive the many blessings.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH FOREVER
Beautiful People, and an inspiration for an Eight year old in 1968. Music has been, and always will be a Joyful Noise, Praise Our Lord, And Savior. The Fifth Dimension was Wall To Wall Sound.
3:24 I just threw up all over my keyboard. Yes, get old and then don't question traditions and fill in that GAPING HOLE (that doesn't exist) with another thing that doesn't exist. SWEET!
+Leviticus Rolle Jr
The fool says in his heart, there is no God. - But the wise man shouts it from his rooftop! - Yeshuafullofit 14:1
+Leviticus Rolle Jr Also, are you so ignorant of your own "holy" book that you were not aware that Jesus commanded you to not call anyone a fool? tsk tsk. Another ignorant tool for Jebus. What a shame you are to the human race. It's truly sad that an atheist knows more about your religion than YOU do.
Leviticus Rolle Jr You certainly did. You used a Bible text to call me a fool by saying that because I don't believe in YOUR god, I am a fool.
You are the fool for falling for a set of Jewish fairy tales written 2500 years ago.
NOT to stir anything back up here, but why DID you share this particular scripture? Does it somehow relate to the post you shared it under?
So what do you think Marilyn means when she says there was something missing, and what do you suggest that she, and Billy should have done?
I've always thought that Marilyn had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
Jesus blessed us with this beautiful couple.
Two wonderful inspiring people.
I have a new found love for marilyn, im an aquarius and so looked up the song and this 5th element footage and WOW Marilyn was absolutely stunning, (and still is) i love how the song changed tempo into let the sun shine and marilyn starts dancing really funky, what a stunning woman both physically and spiritually.
God Bless this Beautiful couple so clean and wonderful to listen to !!!
Can anyone remember watching their TV Show each week? I didn't miss one single episode. It was called, "The Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. Show."
Wow what a blessing!!!💝
Billy, you must have thanked God the day she leaned your way that day.
They were before my time but we could learn so much from their wisdom and learn to work through marriage. God bless them.
Both such class acts. Wonderful interview.
Love you two SuperStars. Your music brings back memories of romance from my childhood. I have been a romantic from age 5.
Awww I admire them as a couple hopefully one day I can feel the same...that long marriages do work when I find my future husband.:)
They are fantastic in all terms! Absolute cool such lucky people! Sweet blindness!
Thank you for your kind words! God bless you! ♡
Congratulations to both!
It's people like these two to keep you going
A lovely couple,and some wonderful performers.An
inspiration to others.May their days always be love filled and joyful.👍💖🍾🍸😁🎹🎻🎸🎷🎺🌏🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
God Bless you Two. Thank You too for Gods voice
We are glad to have your input.
Marilyn Was 1 classy act. Love her and their music.
LOVE WILL KEEP YOU YOUNG AND KEEP YOU IN LOVE . THANK GOD THEY HAVE JESUS NOW .
Two beautiful, talented, nice, people.
God bless this couple!
lady defines the word grace...
The 5th Dimension appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in the psychedelic 60's. God bless both of them for staying married after all this years.
They survived their struggles and saw it thru with God in the end. I am so happy that they turned to Jesus and are still with each other. A beautiful story and warms my heart to see them together.
it's just crazy cuz I've always liked these two - ever since I was a kid they've been favorites of mine. I should've KNOWN they had God in their lives! Watch the video of You Don't Have To Be A Star; you can SEE the depth of their love as they sing to each other. :) I LOVE IT
i like it how for billy the interview was going nice and smoothly and suddenly she says oh billy you havent brought up what nearly wrecked our marriage, YOUR DRINKING hahaha though it shouldnt have but that then made me chuckle, it was like she didnt want him getting away without telling the whole world he once had a drink problem.
Met her outside of spa gos a few years ago ,billy was with her .She is still beautiful !
Amazing couple and many more years together.
Thank you for commenting today.
