There was a time when singers and performers could sing with their natural voices and it truly was unadulterated, pure talent and ability. That is why they are remembered and enjoyed for generations after their time plus the music before the 1980's was just much better.
One of the greatest female voices. So much soul.
Marilyn's voice is still phenomenal!! I love her and Billy Davis, Jr.
Lovely Couple. 53 years marriage. Awesome .
Amazing! Perfect.
Thank you.
This is incredible. I think she's 76 here, still on pitch with the pipes to back it. Wow!!!
My goodness 50 years later voice is still beautiful I love her❤️💛
Give that lady her flowers while she’s still here, please!!!🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
She rocked that song! Again! The entire band is on point! Well done!!!!
Wonderful to see them still together after all these years! And she still has a great voice!
We are not worthy! Just beautiful, Marilyn!
Both are a beautiful couple, but the signature song for Marilyn is one less bell. Nobody sings it like she does. She remains amazing.
Streisand sang it superbly too ... but Marilyn owns it.
I would disagree. If I could reach you, would be her best
What a voice and presence,Just magnificeng beauty.
After all these years Marilyn's voice is still beautiful. Great range. She is also very beautiful.
I was at all three of their "Big E" shows and did a phone interview with the two of them the week before the concert. It took me full circle, having originally seen The 5th Dimension live in concert at the Springfield Civic Center in September of 1973, with Paul Williams opening for them. Here I was... forty six years later... interviewing them and seeing them perform again live. I should mention that I'd also seen the group perform a few times in between, both with and without McCoo/Davis. They were wonderful folks while interviewing them and it was great to have my teen kids --- who grew up with their ol' man playing their full catalog of tunes --- get the pleasure of seeing them live and meeting them. Thanks once again, Marilyn and Billy!
I was in love with Marilyn when this song came out and I'm still in love with her.
Yes.
Gaz UK.
Amazing trip back to the GOOD Days/ Beautiful songs and people were civil to one another
Can't argue with that. :)
Class act always. Singers today can learn a lot from them. And not just one of the greatest torch songs but one of the greatest songs period, sung by one of the greatest classiest singers.
Incredible singing! She still has it ! just the best!
Still wonderful to hear this ❤️ classic song. Thank you 😊.
Damn, does she ever age? Still looks as beautiful as when she first recorded this song.
Just love their music!!!!!!
The greatest married musical couple ever!

Yes i was there !! Absolutely awesome concert ;and this song took me wayyy back !! I had the opportunity to express my love/rap with them face to face at the meet and greet table after the show !! I told them I first heard this song originally on the radio before going to middle school back in the day. I relayed to them my thought at the time upon first hearing it "How Could He Do That To Her !!" They both cracked up laughing.
Man!!!!! Love this duo! Back in THE DAY! And even more now!!!!😍
You guys are still great 👍. God Bless you Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. ❤ 🙏💐

I’m turning 56 in June! And you couldn’t have said it BETTER! “GROWIN’ UP” music!😍
OMG!! She sounds wonderful. I love this song. I grew up with the 5th Dimension. I fell in love with them when I heard my zodiac sign in a song. Been in love with their music ever since. God bless them. ❤
Every time I hear that song, it's like the first time I've ever heard it.
Just beautiful 😻
Underrated.
She's simply beautiful!
Marylyn McCoo, yu are just great.
Only Burt Bacharach could write a hit love song with a fried egg in the lyric!!
Lol! Good One! One less Egg to Fry!
@@andreaswanson1596 Marilyn deserves better than a man who only eats one fried egg anyway.
Credit to the background vocalists. They were spot on!
Marilyn is adorable. Had a crush on her when I was 12 years old in '68. Lol. Love her voice.
One of the most beautiful women in the world. Marilyn McCoo.
They still have it!
It hurts so good ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Marilyn still looks good..oh How I wish we never aged past a certain year...sad...some people I can't even identify..
Stunning Amazing Class legend 💝💝💝💝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Outstanding
Backing vocalists add polish and shine to great songs like this.

She still has a clear beautiful voice. She can sing very plain and it’s still beautiful. She doesn’t have to do anything fancy!
💐I REMEMBER MARILYN MCCOO AND BILLY DAVIS OF THE 5TH DIMENSION
Wonderful !!!!
Still Great
I love you Marilyn ❤❤❤❤
Timeless!
god bless still strong i love it thanks
Awesome!
I know she's probably had some work done but damn ... Marilyn looks fine in her 70's.
Real beauty doesn’t crack.
Amazing lady.
God bless her.
Marilyn owns that song.
Still has it. Que Chula! 😎
Git it, girlfriend! Love that ending.
I’m in love ❤
I would have loved to hear a Whitney Houston version of the song. She would have knocked it out of the park for sure.
Married 53 YEARS! 🤵🏾♂️👰🏽♀️
i had no idea they were performing in mass i would have gone the big e is only and hour and a half away from me
They did three afternoon shows, then one in Lowell a few months later in November. Hopefully if touring is able to start back up later this year they'll do one in support of their new album.
Ewig schön
Loved her when I was a kid....Love her now. This will always be a favorite song to me.
❤❤❤
Wedding Bell Blues!
Marilyn still bless in frying two eggs 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
👏👏👏👏🎉
Oh wow
oh love, and their commitment to Nyro.
When I was nine years old, I was pretty stupid too, but Marilyn's voice did something weird to me on, nevertheless.
I seriously hate to see someone like her get older. Some people should simply be excluded from the ageing process so that their talent could stay with us indefinitely.
I know exactly what you're saying. Just reminds us that even those we think should never change, physically, do ... smacking us with the reality that we're all mortal. As you said, some should just be excluded.
Why does she not give her man a key, if she's picking up after him and making him breakfast. He still has to use the doorbell?
Seriously though, I've always loved her voice and stage presence.
She wrote Whitney’s Saving all my love for you too ❤
❤
In the dictionary next to the word lady they should have Marilyn's picture !!!
How old are they in this video
Marilyn is 75 and Billy is 81.
Who cares? They are ageless! I got to see The Fifth Dimension with The Spinners in the early 80's. Best concert ever!
I see that my man has the Al Green and Chairmen of the Board type hairpiece going on there.
They ate the correct diet! :)
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
3:40 Song begins❤
I don't get the obvious bleaching of the skin, but she sure is sounding phenomenal. _The Age of Aquarius_ album remains on my playlist.
🥰💓👌🤌👍
