Fall in love this Valentine’s Day with an incredible concert starring vocal masters Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. McCoo and Davis are touring with their “40th Anniversary Celebration Show,” which is a combination celebration of their 40-year careers and 40 years of marriage.

Two of the most celebrated vocalists in pop and R&B history, McCoo and Davis have received seven Grammy Awards and earned 15 gold and three platinum records, and enjoyed starring roles on television and stage. They have performed to sold-out concerts around the world, and this tour recognizes their deep history with sounds of R&B, Gospel, Jazz and Pop.
As lead vocalists of one of the top singing groups of the late 1960s and early 1970s, The 5th Dimension, they recorded such classics as “Up, Up & Away,” “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “One Less Bell To Answer” and “Stoned Soul Picnic” to name a few.
After a decade with The 5th Dimension, Billy & Marilyn decided to leave the group and establish themselves as a duo. They had immediate success with the single, “You Don’t Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show).” It was a #1 hit and earned them a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.
Multiple television and stage opportunities soon followed, including the CBS prime time program “The Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. Show,” McCoo’s five years as host of “Solid Gold” and Davis’ acclaimed portrayal of James “Thunder” Early in “Dreamgirls.”
