    If you don't already realize it, your built in audience of "boomers" is enjoying your discovery and appreciation of the music of our time. The 50's, 60's, and 70's produced some of the best music. The one thing most everyone recognizes and longs for is...nostalgia. We covet the feeling/memories of our past thru music. As you progress thru the years and decades, you may come to realize that also. So many of us out here in internet land who now longer get out as much are living somewhat vicariously thru your discoveries and appreciations....Peace to you both

      I agree.... there is something very heart warming to see younger folks discover and experience great music from an era long gone by,....especially considering the music of the current times- and I'm sorry for saying this, hope I'm not showing my " you kids get off my lawn" attitude here, but current day music lacks the magic that it once contained.
      And for the record, although I'm almost 60 now...I'd consider myself less a 'boomer' per se, more a 'rattler'...just because of how my bones sound when I try to walk...lol 😆

    This song is by the husband & wife duo who used to be in the group The 5th Dimension. They were married in 1969 & are still together. They had a great solo career together & this song was a big hit for them. Love their voices together. "Your Love" was another hit for them in 1977.

    Marilyn McCoo met Billy Davis Jr. in 1965 when Billy was asked to join McCoo's singing group The Versailles, soon renamed The Fifth Dimension. The Fifth Dimension went on to major commercial success and by 1968 Marilyn and Billy had become romantically involved. They were married in 1969 not long before their group recorded and released "Wedding Bell Blues." This was one of The Fifth Dimension's biggest hits where McCoo asks Davis if he's ever going to marry her. They are still together today after 50+ years of marriage.

    Professor of Rock recently did an interview with them on his RUclips channel. It is very interesting to see them today and listen to their memories of a time when they were "Superstars" !

    They were both part of the 5th Dimension.
    Yes they are still together, 53 years in July.
    I’ve said before, and I have no problem repeating myself, we baby boomers were blessed to grow up with, and during the greatest 25 years, 1955-1980, of music production in the history of the world!

    WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC!!! Class of 80. All it takes is for a song like this or the Ojays or Donna Summer to take me back!

    Love this song. You should play Wedding Bell Blues sung by Marilyn McCoo to Billy when they were in The Fifth Dimension.

    Cute is them doing 'Wedding Bell Blues' and her singing it to Billy. His reactions are great!! 'One Less Bell to Answer'.... 'If I Could Reach You' is an amazing song by Marilyn solo. Still together after almost 53 years. They sang Silent Night in the updated Walton Christmas movie this past Christmas and sounded GREAT.
