Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. - I Hope We Get To Love In Time - 1976

Classic! What I always dug about the sound of Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. was that they were always warmly melodic. Even in their Fifth Dimension days they were always so clean and their music was so polished. I'm sure they caught more than a little flack for their safe, non political, non-threatenin' image in the age of the Black Power movement. But I say we had enough Gil-Scotts and Brian Jacksons (who were the shit in their own right), but you need a balance and it took a level of tough skin to do that kind of sound at that time. For that, ya boy Chi-Town fucks wit 'em all day baby!
