“The ‘first couple’ of pop and soul.” That’s how music producer Questlove described Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., the Grammy Award-winning husband and wife vocalist who co-founded The 5th Dimension. The powerhouse duo celebrates 53 years of marriage and as many decades of pop hits since the 1960s, including “Up, Up and Away” and “The Age of Aquarius (Let the Sunshine In).”
