    • @Straightupshooter
      @Straightupshooter 9 лет назад +3

      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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

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.
