Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr - You Don't Have To Be A Star (Orleans Showroom - Feb 12, 2022)

"You Don't Have To Be A Star" is a Billboard #1 hit by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. It's a recording from their album, I HOPE WE GET TO LOVE IN TIME and won the couple a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1977. It reached #7 on the UK Singles Chart. This is a live performance from the Orleans Showroom where the couple performed on February 12, 2022. I must apologize in advance - Marilyn McCoo gets washed out in certain parts of this video. I must not have adjusted the lighting correctly on my camera. I attribute it to her dress which reflected the spotlights on the stage. But their voices are amazing.

Still sound the same. Beautiful couple and always classy.

[@pallen49]

Wow, they both age so gracefully...And their VOICES is STILL there.. Such a beautiful couple..

[@kimberley-xu8ff]

Praise God for Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. They've been entertaining us for 50+ decades and married this long also. God Bless and thank you Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. From a longtime Canadian fan. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️✌️🌻

[@Tim_Shu]

Wow, they are amazing, married for 50+ years, such goals 🥰

[@fredstriker2042]

And today marriage has become a statistical sucker's bet for men on a simple cost benefit analysis... I miss decency, who would have thought our prudish Grandparents were right all along

[@joeclarke6973]

They sound and look absolutely fabulous-look at that figure !

[@archangelvvv]

RIGHT! Can you image she's 80 Years of age and still has the same figure she did in her early 20s and is just a beautiful today!

[@jasonburger3533]

​@@archangelvvvYes, that is true that Marilyn McCoo is 80 years old currently, but in this video was 78 and Billy was 83 and is currently 85. He has survived alcoholism that he did in 1986 and prostate cancer in 1999 and she fell in a freak accident in 2010 at age 66, fell out of a chair at the Los Angeles Mission where they were throwing a soft spongy ball for a motivational exercise and she hit the floor and her pelvis broke. She had surgery to repair her pelvis. She has been on the board of directors of the Los Angeles Mission for many years. At 80 and 85, they both are doing well, all things considered. They released a new album of Beatles songs in 2021.

[@angiewoodsy1693]

[@archangelvvv]

AMEN! At nearly 80 she's still a superstar beauty with the figure she had at age 20

[@5xchamps269]

A perfect couple that stood the test of time

[@archangelvvv]

AMEN!

[@modernretroradio993]

I did NOT expect them to sound this great! This is what taking care of your voice can do for you!

[@archangelvvv]

Absolutely stunning and amazing over 50 Years Married and still performing!

[@Gerry-x6b]

Marilyn is absolutely stunning,my my my!❤

[@carolinaherrera559]

Beautiful 🤩

[@tomlemery8490]

They move like they did in the day too.

[@regsmith7604]

She still has a beautiful figure. That’s my girl 😊

[@queunlimited4779]

Still beautiful

[@helengcray1125]

I Grew Up Listening To This Song With My Parents. Their Voices Are Still Beautiful As They Were Back Then ❤❤😊

[@user-ov6qe6lg5g]

All I want is them to come to visit Japan together and sing this beautifu great song together as they did in Tokyo back in 1976 .

[@auntiem71]

Beautiful

[@入江伸光]

Wow, I'm so happy to see this video and know that they still sound great! I was 14 when I saw them in concert in Osaka, Japan back n 1976. I went up to the stage to shake their hands. It is a great memory to me even on this day. I love them!!

[@caryewilliams1746]

A great couple

[@antant4287]

Amazing. Thanks to the artists and cameraman!

[@jameskelly6501]

Music at its best 😊

[@brendawilson8208]

Fantastic! It's a shame they never had children ... I guess. She's 79 and he's 84. Just a beautiful couple. Married 53 years.

[@wilkersonchannel5571]

That's why they sound so good they didn't have to scream at children 😂😂😂

[@kumudkenedy9959]

​@@wilkersonchannel5571😂 good one

[@jasonburger3533]

​@@wilkersonchannel5571Well, according to their 2004 autobiography, Billy had a son by someone else before he and Marilyn married in 1969 and she had a hysterectomy in 1979 at age 35 or 36 and they both raised Billy's son as their own. That is directly from their 2004 autobiography, which includes a free compact disc of some of their music in new copies and some used and I have a few copies, including a signed copy.

[@kimberley-xu8ff]

​@@jasonburger3533It is an excellent read, if you can get your hands on a copy. Anyone who enjoys Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr will enjoy it. I have read it twice. 🙏✝️

[@jasonburger3533]

@@kimberley-xu8ff Yes, I agree. I got a used copy online in December 2009. More recently, I got two new copies on amazon, including an unexpectedly signed copy. They all came with the bonus compact disc in the inside back of the book jacket. The book is very candid. The photographs are in bkack-and-white and in color. The book had been written in 2004. I think that they could use a 20th anniversary updated edition to cover so much of what they have done since 2004. They are still fully active in the industry and sound and appear wonderful as well.

[@helengcray1125]

I never look at them as worldly people. I am a servant of the LORD and the LORDS people never lose it.😊

[@jameskelly6501]

Love these 2

[@skitchymaurice]

Timeless. Bravo,

[@nikolaromanos456]

they are already old by still trying to be alive as before. very happy couple.

[@T.Z.M4N]

Good Christian people who still got it.

[@archangelvvv]

Both are Born Again Christians who BELIEVE Jesus is God & Savior like I do!

[@lsrlsr7524]

Good Good music Billy D still got it . High 5 Billy. Marilyn still gorgeous. Voice is 🥰🥰😍🥰

[@chevyvan9568]

I can't believe I missed this show, had no idea they were even here, thanks for the video

[@archangelvvv]

Same here! Just found out about it today December 23. Had I known they were in Las Vegas last year I would of definitely been there just to see them, but I guess this video will have to do

[@jasonburger3533]

​@@archangelvvvThank goodness for the video.

[@helengcray1125]

I have good memories. My parents are deceased now. May God continue to bless 🙌

[@alexayala1078]

❤

[@Chainsawslots]

Wow they're both in their 80s!

[@archangelvvv]

ISNT' THAT AMAZING! TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!

[@EdgarDiaz-w3j]

Si yo viera a marilyn y a billy de frente,les daria un abrazo x haberme hecho tan feliz con tan bella cancion...y las cantaria con ellos.es una de mis canciones a duo favoritas!

[@clapolla]

They're still good. Wouldn't have guessed them to still have enough marque power to headline the Orleans without a supporting act. Interesting. I saw Ann-Margret there about 15 years ago

[@grumholt7076]

Quality

[@paulnguyen8910]

Two-fifths of 5th Dimension meet. Co-frontmen.

[@kritick505]

Fuck yeah lol awesome

[@kimberley-xu8ff]

No need for profanity. Use the word fluff instead.

[@ocean-ff6if]

ナイスボイス

[@victoryvences]

To me the quality is not good.

[@archangelvvv]

Why?

[@clapolla]

Then don't watch

[@Chainsawslots]

Great seeing them but their voices arent as great as they once were.

[@solidrock7998]

YESSSSSSSSSS
