If you don't already realize it, your built in audience of "boomers" is enjoying your discovery and appreciation of the music of our time. The 50's, 60's, and 70's produced some of the best music. The one thing most everyone recognizes and longs for is...nostalgia. We covet the feeling/memories of our past thru music. As you progress thru the years and decades, you may come to realize that also. So many of us out here in internet land who now longer get out as much are living somewhat vicariously thru your discoveries and appreciations....Peace to you both

And for the record, although I'm almost 60 now...I'd consider myself less a 'boomer' per se, more a 'rattler'...just because of how my bones sound when I try to walk...lol 😆

Marilyn McCoo met Billy Davis Jr. in 1965 when Billy was asked to join McCoo's singing group The Versailles, soon renamed The Fifth Dimension. The Fifth Dimension went on to major commercial success and by 1968 Marilyn and Billy had become romantically involved. They were married in 1969 not long before their group recorded and released "Wedding Bell Blues." This was one of The Fifth Dimension's biggest hits where McCoo asks Davis if he's ever going to marry her. They are still together today after 50+ years of marriage.
