The recording artists celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, but it didn't always look like they'd get there... The Christian Broadcasting Network CBN www.cbn.com
Met the 5th Dimension as a kid in Pasadena CA in 1977, super, super nice people, Mr Lamont was the centerfold photographer for Jet magazine,. Man time flies.
What a great story! FYI, I had not looked ya'll up since I was 10 years old in 1969. Marilyn's great voice came up at a class reunion, I started viewing you guys on TH-cam and even in 1969, I looked at ya'll at said "those people are different." I guess what my young spirit was seeing was "those people are going to make a difference." I wasn't aware you weren't saved then until just seeing this clip. Makes a heart spark to see ya'll be blessed, smiling, honest and standing up for the path that got you there. Happy Anniversary!
Beautiful high spirited people ! Billy & Marilyn wishing you health , happiness , divine guidance ! Bright lights in a crazy fast paced world ... Thanks for the wonderful music .. 🎷❤🙏
Ive always been big time fans of Marilyn and Billy...and the Fifth Dimension..although I was a very young child when their songs hit the charts. There seemed to be something special about each person in that group. Ive also admired each of them...and I am proud of the clean, fresh style of music that they recorded and sang...they have always been a good and positive image of the African-American community. I have written to both of them before, and I hope to meet them one day and experience their ministries!
I've loved these 2 since I was a kid in the 70s, still do and it warms my heart in this cold world to see them still together. I always thought Marilyn had of the greatest voice in music, and she is so so beautiful! I listen to their music everyday.
Thank God for people like this and they look so good for people that have been playing and singing in the 60 so they were adults in the sixties so that makes them at least 20 years older than I am to 25 years older cuz I was just a little kid I was born in 62 I know they had in 67 68 69 so they were adults then while I was just maybe like one look up good they look God blessing for being Christian today I hear that you're over fifty years of marriage when I 51 to 52 years married still together
I will get their book. I just saw them last month and took my mom. They were beyond fabulous. Voices and stage presence never left them. They were so, so entertaining and the love shines from the stage to the audience. God bless them.
Just saw them at Queensborough CC last Sunday. They are married for 46 years and She is 72 and sings GREAT!!! What a wonderful show they did, so many hits
I truly enjoyed seeing the two of you in this beautiful interview and staying strong with Jesus! I listened to your music then and now. What a great love story!!
Such an relaxing, yet, encouraging interview about their careers, marriage, and strong spiritual center. God bless them for the joy they've given millions of listeners, and for finding His goodness. ~Angie
I love this couple, true love, not this mess of today. I am so jealous of Marilyn, back in the 60s I wanted to be her, talented, famous, beautiful, great dresser, traveler, hippies, fame, and on on . Meeting a good looking man, o boy, I wish I had her life. But, God is good. They'er still a beautiful couple and still can sing. Much love to them, we still love your music, because it is the best of the best. We have to get the young people into this. God Bless.
Beautiful People, and an inspiration for an Eight year old in 1968. Music has been, and always will be a Joyful Noise, Praise Our Lord, And Savior. The Fifth Dimension was Wall To Wall Sound.
Praise the Lord on High! Uncontrollable drinking ruins people. God bless these two wonderful Born Again Christians! God is always in control even when we think we are. He has a way of shaking the limbs on our tree to wake us up. We need to be still to receive the many blessings.
They survived their struggles and saw it thru with God in the end. I am so happy that they turned to Jesus and are still with each other. A beautiful story and warms my heart to see them together.
i like it how for billy the interview was going nice and smoothly and suddenly she says oh billy you havent brought up what nearly wrecked our marriage, YOUR DRINKING hahaha though it shouldnt have but that then made me chuckle, it was like she didnt want him getting away without telling the whole world he once had a drink problem.
Wonderful testimony from two of my favorite singers---as part of the 5th Dimension and as solo stars. So glad they shared this story! Saw the 5th Dimension in concert back in the 70's and they were AWESOME!!! 8-)
WOW . THIS IS A COUPLE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD . I WISH THEY HAD THEIR OWN TV SHOW . IVE BEEN DANCING TO THEIR MUSIC SINCE THEY STARTED. WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER
Seeing this is AWEsome! and oh-so Inspiring!! So happy for Marilyn and Billy! I'm always inspired to see you guys, as I've followed you via TBN, CBN, etc. I got to thinking about these two and the 5th Dimension last night, and so came to TH-cam to find out and reminisce! Listened to a 2013 version of the two singing 'Stoned Soul Picnic' and this interview on CBN, and wow!! so very awesome, inspiring and helpful! One viewing these interviews can actually "feel" the love!! Congrats for hanging in there, and mostly to God be the Glory! Love you!
I like the way how all three got along. It’s more like friends hanging out instead of an interview. The McCoos are a great couple, and it’s been a privilege growing up to theirs and The 5th Dimension’s songs.
I fell in love with her so long ago. Yeah as a teen it was eros love but wow decades later my fraternal love for her and her very blessed husband is much deeper.
@GUALLACOL .....believe in God of course it's going to seem like alot of contradictions. Also, the bible can be hard to understand, but God gives us the wisdom, and helps us to understand it.
Very nice couple. I think they may have lost popularity during that time because disco had gotten popular and they didn't really delve into that, otherwise they may have had more hits. Just my opinion.
@KendraG1398 Yes! It is a change in behavior to believe in something that doesn't exist. The bible was written by men to control the behavior of mankind. The bible is corrupted due to many hands in the pot. If you want I can give examples of contradictions, etc.
I am so glad they have Jesus, Billy is one lucky guy, she stayed with him through his alcohol problem, many less attractive women would have left for much less reason. Beyonce knowles,Halle Berry and especially Helen Falosade Uba (Sade) are pretty women; but Marilyn is Beautiful at any age!
@GUALLACOL Now, let me stop this while we are ahead, we are never going to see eye to eye. The bottom line is you don't believe that there is a God, but I do. You don't have to justify your beliefs to me, Hopefully you agree with that. The same goes for me. And if I did offend you I do apologize. So to reply to your comment about the bible. Yes, the bible was written by man, but by men chosen by God. And the bible was written for those who believe in God and want to be saved. Since you don't
BMP 23 You're right because in other Interviews he said he just started falling for her, they both had mutual feelings for each other. You saw that look on her Face, Lol!! Marilyn was probably like ok it's time to move this to next level since they both felt that way about each.
I almost can't watch "Christian" interviews with famous people.God,they act as though they don't know what's going on in THE WORLD,you know,in the world but not of it kinda thing? Marilyn,there's NOTHING wrong with Spiritualism...that IS Jesus! That IS God.
So what if people think there is a god. It,s good to have something to beleive in that can make a couple think close to the same and be evenly yoke, because all this crap in the world today causes nothing but problems. This is why people fight and argue so much because they have nothing to beleive in together but how to fix the house or what kind of car to by or what is mine or yours. Just a bunch of confusion. What is it so solid that you and yours beleive in this world? Nothing. Think about it
Their long marriage is so beautiful. Over 40 years of a beautiful relationship and still going strong. That is so admirable. They are truly soul mates.
I met Marilyn and Billy on 2 separate occasions. Wonderful people and I'm so happy to have met them. God bless you both. Much love...
That's awesome. Even when I was a kid, I always thought they seemed like wonderful people.
Met the 5th Dimension as a kid in Pasadena CA in 1977, super, super nice people, Mr Lamont was the centerfold photographer for Jet magazine,. Man time flies.
I love this couple. Bless both of you and the wonderful music you have given the world.
It is so nice to see them again! Billy was honest when he said it should have been him to tell Marilyn "Lets go GOD is calling us!
More like fornication is calling.
You can tell he really truly deeply loves her because she is still so gorgeous and healthy! A man's love waters a woman like a flower.
True :)

Beautifully said! You are indeed a poet and philosopher wrapped in one tidy package.
...AMEN...So well said...🌱
God has and continues to BLESS the both of you! Congratulations Marilyn & Billy.

What a beautiful couple.
Billy, you must have thanked God the day she leaned your way that day.
Love them.
They were before my time but we could learn so much from their wisdom and learn to work through marriage. God bless them.
I've always thought that Marilyn had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
What a great testimony
We are glad that this testimony blessed you.

They survived their struggles and saw it thru with God in the end. I am so happy that they turned to Jesus and are still with each other. A beautiful story and warms my heart to see them together.
I suppose the logo in the upper corner was a dead give away, as soon as she mentioned religion I rolled my eyes and said peace!
Love their story
Very talented down to earth people.
Love them both! LOL!
Still an extremely attractive lady...Class act the both of them!!!
i like it how for billy the interview was going nice and smoothly and suddenly she says oh billy you havent brought up what nearly wrecked our marriage, YOUR DRINKING hahaha though it shouldnt have but that then made me chuckle, it was like she didnt want him getting away without telling the whole world he once had a drink problem.
Great couple, thank you for your testimony.
Really enjoyed this video
Wonderful testimony from two of my favorite singers---as part of the 5th Dimension and as solo stars. So glad they shared this story! Saw the 5th Dimension in concert back in the 70's and they were AWESOME!!! 8-)
Marilyn is such a beautiful lady, who has everything a man could need, billy is such a lucky man.
WOW . THIS IS A COUPLE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD . I WISH THEY HAD THEIR OWN TV SHOW . IVE BEEN DANCING TO THEIR MUSIC SINCE THEY STARTED. WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER
She is still a beautiful lady.
Beautiful, talented couple.
Wow she is still beautiful.
Jorge Washington she is beautiful inside and outside!
Seeing this is AWEsome! and oh-so Inspiring!! So happy for Marilyn and Billy!

NO WEDDING BELL BLUES THERE!❤🙏
Loved her then, love her now!
What an incredible couple!
I like the way how all three got along. It’s more like friends hanging out instead of an interview. The McCoos are a great couple, and it’s been a privilege growing up to theirs and The 5th Dimension’s songs.
💥💥❤💙👏👏👏👏
I fell in love with her so long ago. Yeah as a teen it was eros love but wow decades later my fraternal love for her and her very blessed husband is much deeper.
iftheycanstaytogetherthatlonggodhasreallybeengoodtothem
never knew that dude was a singer. Saw them on Jamie foxx show
Ok so the big big question. Was wedding bell blues about trying to hook billy? That’s what most people thought?
@GUALLACOL .....believe in God of course it's going to seem like alot of contradictions. Also, the bible can be hard to understand, but God gives us the wisdom, and helps us to understand it.
Thanks
Very nice couple. I think they may have lost popularity during that time because disco had gotten popular and they didn't really delve into that, otherwise they may have had more hits. Just my opinion.
@GUALLACOL How so?
@KendraG1398 What you think is God it is not so. It is something else. Do some research and you will find the truth.
@KendraG1398 Yes! It is a change in behavior to believe in something that doesn't exist. The bible was written by men to control the behavior of mankind. The bible is corrupted due to many hands in the pot. If you want I can give examples of contradictions, etc.

Oh no... not Marilyn and Billy as well as Florence :(
Does anyone know about Lamonte and Ron? Did they stay rational?
She got "Fresh n Easy " lol
@GUALLACOL Now, let me stop this while we are ahead, we are never going to see eye to eye. The bottom line is you don't believe that there is a God, but I do. You don't have to justify your beliefs to me, Hopefully you agree with that. The same goes for me. And if I did offend you I do apologize. So to reply to your comment about the bible.

That's a lie, that short brotha was trying to campaign that fine woman from the jump

Devout Christians that love the Lord with all their hearts.
Pure class. I've loved their music since the early 70s.
Marilyn is a beautiful women with a spectacular voice.
Their long marriage is so beautiful. Over 40 years of a beautiful relationship and still going strong. That is so admirable. They are truly soul mates.
These two aged so gracefully, their bond is amazing.
