Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. Set To Bring Timeless Vintage Champagne Soul To Soul Train Cruise 2018
 
When the 2018 Soul Train Cruise sets sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to St. Maarten on January 27, 2018, legendary duo Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr – the very toast of Champagne Soul since their mid-`60s debut as members of the groundbreaking vocal group The 5th Dimension – will sparkle among a ship full of top name talents bringing star power to the proceedings, As evergreens of recording, stage and their own television show in the `70s, Marilyn & Billy are beloved as shining symbols of ageless music, marital fidelity and Christian faith. Though their biggest hit is the chart-topper that launched them as separate entity from the group, “You Don’t Have To Be Star (To Be In My Show),” they have been wowing audiences around the world with their interpretations of some of the greatest songs of all time with their most recent release, The Many Faces of Love. Together, they also authored a touching biography titled “Up Up And Away: How We Found Love, Faith and Lasting Marriage In The Entertainment World.” And they also perform as solo artists – Marilyn in the Pop and Contemporary Christian genres and Billy in Gospel.
