Up, Up and Away

The Music and Memories featuring Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr.

Kicking off the 2015–16 Pops season, Benjamin Rous conducts as we welcome Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. to Hampton Roads. McCoo and Davis are the original stars and lead singers of the legendary group The 5th Dimension, where they launched Champagne and Pop Soul Classics, including "Up, Up and Away," "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," "Worst That Could Happen," "Sweet Blindness," "Wedding Bell Blues" and "One Less Bell to Answer." The couple has enjoyed tremendous success through the years as recording artists, performers and authors. They have received seven Grammy Awards and have earned 15 gold and three platinum records.
