Welcome Back to Campus!

W

e are thrilled to present two icons in the music industry: Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. These two individuals have blazed a path for many to follow.

Marilyn and Billy have earned 7 Grammy awards, 15 gold and 3 platinum albums, were the first African American married couple to have their own network television variety show, are accomplished authors and with all this success have been married over 50 years.

Their path to stardom began as the lead singers of the legendary group The 5th Dimension where they boasted numerous hits including: “Up, Up and Away,” “Aquarius/ Let the Sunshine In,” “Worst That Could Happen,” “Stoned Soul Picnic” and numerous others. After leaving The 5th Dimension, they recorded the No. 1 hit, “You Don’t Have to be a Star (to Be in My Show).”

Marilyn and Billy released their first studio album in three decades, Blackbird: Lennon-McCartney Icons this past April. Once again, this couple is in the limelight not

only for their singing but how their music is raising awareness for civil rights and social justice.

It is fitting that their latest tour Up, Up and Away! The Concert is not only named from one of their greatest hits but describes Marilyn and Billy’s careers and lives.

They have been rising since they hit the music scene in the 1960s.

We are glad you are joining us for what I know will be a memorable evening.

Thank you for respecting your fellow patrons and the policies of The Florida Board of Governors and Florida State University by wearing your facemask while in FSU’s Ruby Diamond Concert Hall.

Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. Continued from pg. 17

After leaving The 5th Dimension, Marilyn and Billy recorded “You Don’t Have to be a Star (to Be in My Show),” a chart-topping No. 1 record that earned them another GRAMMY® Award. In fact, this legendary couple boasts seven Grammy Awards, 15 gold and 3 platinum records.

Fans of the timeless couple are ecstatic about Marilyn and Billy’s first studio album in three decades, Blackbird: Lennon-McCartney Icons, which was released on April 30, 2021. On its release day, the album hit No. 1 on the Current Album Chart. Producers include Kathleen Marie Ireland and Nic Mendoza, co-founder of EE1, Vice President of kathy ireland® Worldwide and CEO of Uprise LLC. This critically-acclaimed album continues the couple’s decades long activism for civil rights and social justice, with Marilyn and Billy stating, “This album is a tribute to the blackbirds whose lives ended tragically by violence, and those who sacrificed their all in the name of social justice.”

Vanessa Williams, a Grammy, Emmy and Tony Nominee said about the album, “I grew up listening to and loving the music of Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. They accomplished so many firsts, and paved a way for people my age and younger to walk upon. Having “Silly Love Songs” released from their Blackbird album, which is a tribute to Civil Rights

warriors, is brilliant and beautiful. Their new interpretation of Beatles’ classics affirms their brilliant and artistic legacy in music and humanity.”

Marilyn and Billy can currently be seen in Questlove’s directorial debut, Summer of Soul (...Or, when the Revolution Could Not Be

Televised), a documentary on the Harlem

Cultural Festival that premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The documentary won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award, breaking festival records.

This dynamic couple, who celebrated their 52

nd

anniversary in July, are also celebrated

TV personalities and authors.
