You Don't Have To Be A Star, Baby...

Gotta love this hit from 1977...


"You Don't Have To Be A Star"...

Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. sang this duet back in the days when disco was king.  I remember the song, but was actually more familiar with Marilyn McCoo because she was the hostess of Solid Gold back in the 80s.  I used to watch her all the time.



Here's Marilyn singing on Solid Gold... Andy Gibb is introducing her.


And here, Marilyn and Andy sing his hit "I Just Want To Be Your Everything".

I was never a big fan of Marilyn McCoo's, but I did have some fun singing her old duet today.  Check out the vocals on OBSEQUIOUS.



I think this turned out rather well.


Marilyn seems to do well when she duets... Here she is with Ricky Nelson on Solid Gold.

Of course, most people on Solid Gold were lip synching, with the exception of Stevie Nicks, who was apparently bombed out of her gourd when she performed.


Marilyn McCoo introduces Stevie... and comes off rather Star Search TV spokesmodel-esque...
