Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr - Marilyn Billy
Review by Laila Zafar
Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. have been household names in the music industry for decades, and their latest album, Marilyn Billy, is a testament to their enduring talent. The album features a mix of classic and contemporary songs, all infused with the duo's signature style and soulful sound.
From the opening track, "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)," to the closing number, "Up, Up and Away," Marilyn Billy takes listeners on a journey through the years, showcasing the range and depth of McCoo and Davis Jr.'s musical abilities. The album is a perfect blend of ballads and upbeat numbers, showcasing the duo's versatility and ability to connect with audiences of all ages.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Blackbird," a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the Beatles classic. McCoo's vocals are particularly impressive on this track, conveying a sense of longing and vulnerability that perfectly captures the song's emotional depth.

Never knew this existed. Decent but proves what a genius Clive Davis was and what a phenomenal vocalist Whitney was.
2023-04-10
At least she can say that she sang it first.
2023-04-10
I was today years old when I found out that Whitney was not the original singer to do this song.

Whitney only owes its succès to occasions !
- thé greatest love of All ( Georges benson)
- i will Always Love you ( dolly parton)
- i m.every woman ( chakha kan )
- All thé man i need ( sister slege)..!!

Whitney's version is better. But if you listen you can obviously tell she wrote this because she adds an emotion that whitney can't add.

Marilyn is in a class of her own. Champagne soul were the Fifth Dimensions
