When Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. left the Fifth Dimension in 1975 to pursue their own recording careers, success was not long in coming; in fact, each of the succeeding years saw a charting album released from the duo – plus a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal (Duo) and their own CBS-TV series. However, while their first album, 1976’s I Hope We Get to Love in Time, has been reissued two different times on compact disc, their 1978 album Marilyn & Billy on the Columbia label has never been reissued anywhere in the world. Now, Real Gone Music is releasing this pop-soul classic in an expanded edition featuring the extended 12” single mix of “Shine On Silver Moon” as a bonus track, with liner notes by Mike Ragogna featuring quotes from the duo plus photos and remastering at Battery Studios in NYC. Long, long overdue and eagerly awaited by Marilyn and Billy’s fans!
