She's tall, thin, gorgeous and has one of the most astonishing singing voices ever heard. She's also really smart. Both her parents were doctors, as was her grandfather. I think her parents forgave her for not following their lead into medicine when she became a household name. My favorite song from her is "If I Could Reach You". Amazing. An amazing beauty.
Had she chosen to go solo, she would have been as big a star as Whitney or Beyonce and done so waaaay before them. The face, the figure, the voice, Marilyn had it all!
@@Luv2u01 Whitney was great but she had a tendenxy to sometimes "scream" and not sing. But she was the whole package, great face, great figure and great voice. Gone way too soon.
Sonny Azurin ...true true true... she is enchanting, alluring...mesmerizing in her sincerity...add that to another GENIUS Bacharach/David composition and you get a slice of ecstacitc Heaven. Marilyn you are the best!!
Used to listen to her as a teenager on AM radio on kitchen counter. At 63,still listening to that song a few times a week, but now on FM stereo of course..
Another Burt Bacharach Hal David composition performed superbly by the one and only Marylin McCoo,God Bless Burt on his passing,What a music Legend 🎶🌟🕊️
The vocal talent of the 60s and 70s is unmatched. Today's artists can learn much by listening to these songs, as well as the greatest song writer, Mr Burt Bacharach.
I think it's funny how she said in one of her more recent interviews that "The guy must have been a Lite Eater".. pretty funny!! I never thought of that!
I remember watching Solid Gold as a kid, those were the days. Marilyn was such a talent. So many music shows back then. Thanks for posting vid, it brings back the good ol days
Gorgeous woman, off the chart talent. When you talk about great female singers with great looks and great voices Marilyn and Linda Ronstadt are right at the top.
Boy, did I have a crush on this beautiful, talented lady when I was in college. One of the purist, cleanest voices I've ever heard. A very underrated singer, never fully appreciated in her prime.
This beautiful performance of "One Less Bell To Answer" was from the 1981-1982 season of the popular syndicated weekly music countdown television show, "Solid Gold", which was the first of many seasons that Marilyn McCoo was either host or co-host. Besides some of her own songs, she would sing cover songs from music of the 1980s. The original of this song by Marilyn McCoo was as part of The Fifth Dimension in 1970. It was first performed by Keely Smith in 1967, but the Marilyn McCoo version as part of The Fifth Dimension became the standard. The Burt Bacharach-Hal David song was recorded by their most common muse, Dionne Warwick, in 1972 and many others since as well.
Espectacular. Es un placer ver y escuchar a Marilyn, una hermosa y elegante mujer, con un gran talento musical y una voz maravillosa. Los jóvenes aspirantes a cantantes deben aprender de ella.
Back in those days you party hardy went to concerts went home chilled went to work next day smiling you and your man had real relationships or you kick him to curb or he straighten up fly right Today you have to careful he us a man not a remake with no courage no care no love nothing just take crap or hope for the best
The song "One Less Bell To Answer" was originally performed by the late Keely Smith in 1967. The Fifth Dimension version, fronted by Marilyn McCoo, is actually the most popular version and the Keely Smith version was very good as well. The Fifth Dimension version was released in 1970. By the way, Marilyn McCoo has an older sister, Glenda Wina, who in the 1970s and 1980s, was well-known in Los Angeles television news, first as having her own talk show on the CBS-TV affiliate, Channel 2, which was then KNXT-TV, changed in 1984 to KCBS TV. Her talk show was called "Noontime". Later on, she was their health and medicine reporter. She later became a local political aide. Marilyn McCoo mentions her famous sister in her own autobiography, written with former bandmate and husband since 1969, Billy Davis Jr. The book was released in 2004. It comes with a compact disc that features some songs not found on many other albums currently available. Some of the early hits of Whitney Houston were originally performed by Marilyn McCoo. Many songs become cover songs over time. In a 2013 PBS television special on Burt Bacharach, Marilyn performed the song during a PBS pledge drive and said that she liked torch songs and that this was an ultimate torch song. The syndicated television series, "Solid Gold", in the 1980s, gave Marilyn McCoo a chance to perform many genres of music, some her own, such as this performance, and others that were often pop and rock songs of the 1980s era. She has released Christian music albums since the early 1990s. In 2021, she released, along with Billy Davis Jr., an album of duets called "Blackbird", their first album of new music for them in over 30 years. She is currently 79 and he is 84 and they look and sound much younger than that.
Oh Yess.... God Do I Love You So Ms Marilyn... Your Everything... So Amazingly Beautiful and So Immensely Talented and Intelligent and Just a Wonderful Soul.. No One Could Ever Sing This Like You.. I Love You My Most Beautiful Angel Princess 😘😘💘💘💘💘
I have heard just two American popular singers whose voices were both warm and cool. One man, one woman. The man was Vic Damone. The woman was Miss McCoo.
I've always said when Whitney Houston's career was starting her management used Marilyn as an example for style and presentation, and boy did it work! When ever I watch a Marilyn video Whitney's name comes up as a comparable
Used to hear this early in the morning on my single mom's modern digital clock radio that was on top of the refridgerater waiting for the yellow school bus when I lived in Schaghticoke Hill when it was top 40.

if i could reach you ... heartbreaking song as she sings it 😭
Because she is thin that makes her attractive? Lol also if she was pure black I doubt you would be calling her attractive.
@@googlemyself4091Pure Black? What is Pure Black?
@@googlemyself4091lol, always a troll in every thread. Congratulations.
Had she chosen to go solo, she would have been as big a star as Whitney or Beyonce and done so waaaay before them. The face, the figure, the voice, Marilyn had it all!
She was prettier and bigger than they
She was great. But she wasn’t in the ballpark of Whitney. That spot is Whitney’s alone.
@@Luv2u01 Whitney was great but she had a tendenxy to sometimes "scream" and not sing. But she was the whole package, great face, great figure and great voice. Gone way too soon.
Let's consider ourselves to be Blessed having the "Musical ear to Appreciate this God Given talent...Thank u for Memories...
Still does
I've heard them all and nobody, I mean nobody to this day, 2020 sings this song with passion and heart like Marilyn does....
I seen her singing this in her 70s and mama can still blow the roof out so smooth with it and just beautiful
Sonny Azurin ...true true true... she is enchanting, alluring...mesmerizing in her sincerity...add that to another GENIUS Bacharach/David composition and you get a slice of ecstacitc Heaven. Marilyn you are the best!!

Absolutely right
So true
When someone asks you about all-time great singers, put Marilyn McCoo on the list.
Marilyn and her husband come in our store in Beverly Hills often and they are the nicest people. Her voice and beauty are pure perfection.
A voice like this comes about once in a lifetime!
Or twice if you include Whitney Houston.
Countless spectacular versions of One Less Bell, but I think MM will always own this one ... still the definitive version.
Stunning voice, Stunning lady.
Excellent group, they made some so many great songs.
One of my SEVERAL boyhood crushes. My goodness what a woman
No one today even comes close!
Great song! What idiot would leave that girl?
Damn, she sang the hell out of that.
The "artists" of today just don't measure up to this. Not even close.
Half century ago this angelic singer brought us musical perfection that no one has matched.
True...so true... maybe only Karen Carpenter comes close.
Maybe the most beautiful and best singers ever.
Written by the amazing Burt Bacharach and Hal David....as all their songs.....timeless!!
The song has a lot of heart❤piercing the emotions, a song for couples passing through their heart 💜 broken journeys 😢
An improvement of vocals and presence is impossible with her stunning appearance matching her talent.
A classic!! Even to this day!! Half-century later and this hit is still kicking ass!!!
Her voice is heavenly. What a beauty.
Such a beautiful lady.
Marilyn was such a perfect creature, a song that makes your eyes close
She's so gorgeous - still is!
Beautiful.....She should have been a much bigger star....I think Marilyn McCoo was the blueprint for Whitney Houston a few years later 💗💗💗💗💗
That song is Marilyn’s
Perfect marriage of vocalist & song
She is simply GREAT!!!
One of the greatest female vocolist the last hundred years. And absolutly stunningly gracefully beautiful .
Billys a lucky man
She definitely owned this song.
She is the one & only that can sing this song. No one else can top her.
Another Burt Bacharach Hal David composition performed superbly by the one and only Marylin McCoo,God Bless Burt on his passing,What a music Legend 🎶🌟🕊️
The vocal talent of the 60s and 70s is unmatched. Today's artists can learn much by listening to these songs, as well as the greatest song writer, Mr Burt Bacharach.
Marilyn songs made me cry listening to her on my transistor radio win I was 8 ,love her beautiful voice
I think it's funny how she said in one of her more recent interviews that "The guy must have been a Lite Eater".. pretty funny!! I never thought of that!
I remember watching Solid Gold as a kid, those were the days. Marilyn was such a talent. So many music shows back then. Thanks for posting vid, it brings back the good ol days
When She hits those high notes chills run down my spine. Classical from a FAR underrated Singer
Love the dreamy voice of Marilyn, best female singer ever.
Gorgeous woman, off the chart talent. When you talk about great female singers with great looks and great voices Marilyn and Linda Ronstadt are right at the top.
Funny I was thinking Linda could have blown this through the roof but like us thought this was all Marilyns song
She is performing in January 2020 in Palm Desert at the McCallum Theatre.
I remember watching her perform this at Melody Faire theatre, in the round, Tonawanda, NY. Stunning. Words can't describe.
Fantastic vocalist and beautiful classy lady. She sings this song with such heart. Also feel the same as when Whitney sang Saving All My Love.
Boy, did I have a crush on this beautiful, talented lady when I was in college. One of the purist, cleanest voices I've ever heard. A very underrated singer, never fully appreciated in her prime.
Didn't we all
Once in a generation voice. Wow!
Best female singer ever !!!
Her and Karen Carpenter!
That goes to Whitney, Aretha, Gladys, Shirley Bassey, Anita Baker, and Mariah... Great singer but far from the best.
It's just perfect and nobody will ever sing it better.
Bacharach + David = Perfection

Incredible!!!!
So, so beautiful. And what a voice.
Again, she is NOT just a beautiful face.
SHE CAN ALMOST BELT IT OUT AS GOOD AS JUDY GARLAND,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AND THAT IS SAYING A LOT !!!!!!!
Beautiful!
I have heard just two American popular singers whose voices were both warm and cool.
One man, one woman.
The man was Vic Damone.
The woman was Miss McCoo.
I've always said when Whitney Houston's career was starting her management used Marilyn as an example for style and presentation, and boy did it work! When ever I watch a Marilyn video Whitney's name comes up as a comparable
Actually I think they used Dionne Warwick as a template for Whitney. By the way they are cousins.
Marilyn was much better than Whitney
Used to hear this early in the morning on my single mom's modern digital clock radio that was on top of the refridgerater waiting for the yellow school bus when I lived in Schaghticoke Hill when it was top 40.
Love her and the song
I think the most perfect human I ever saw
Excellent.
Superbly done bravo
Beauty,Class,Elegance, Talented ❤
Magnificent!!!
Maybe the best rendition I've heard her sing.
This is the first woman of color I had a crush on as a teenager. I still love her today!
Stand in line.
Not just a different league but a different planet.
Still loving her and this song in 2022.
