She has the wrong voice to be singing with Cliff Richard. Too low. I didn't like this at all. Not because of the song. One of my favorite songs since 1980 - it's her voice mixed with his. Not good.
This version is good, but being so familiar with Olivia's version, this one takes some getting used to. Marilyn has a lovely voice, but sounds better with her husband on wonderful songs like "You Don't Have To Be A Star" and "Your Love". I agree that Marilyn and Cliff both look great.
I agree, Olivia´a version is a million times better. The voices of Cliff and Olivia blend and mix so well together. This one is fabulous too, but in a different kind of way. Cliff looks gorgeous in this video. Doesn´t he? But then again he always does. Thanks for sharing it.
Am I wrong or wouldn't this make a great wedding song? I've got it all sequenced out with Climb Every Mountain for the brides maids, Sound of Music theme for bride procession, Suddenly duo during ceremony, and the recession march of Star Wars Throne room medley then credits theme from # V.
Marilyn McCoo is the BEST!!! She's just as beautiful inside as she is outside! I've met her! She has a soul that just shines!!! A fantastic velvety smooth voice! She was hostess of this show and proved her flexibility by singing with all the guests that came on the show no matter what key she had to sing to fit their own! She's still the best!
Well, you have every right to like whichever one you like but that doesn't mean "freakn copy bogus" is right. McCoo does her best to perform a song--I for one think she does a good job, and she has EVERY RIGHT to sing any song she can legally sing. Are you saying no one should be allowed to sing a song someone else has sung?
Marilyn is too good of a singer for this low key song. She is a pofessional high pitch singer. Simply not her song but, i guess they did this for ol' Cliffy boy. Olivia dumped him after she bleached her hair out.
I can't help but think Olivia and Cliff were once romanticly involved, in fact oddly enough olivia's daughter somewhat resembles Cliff, with that Dark hair she has.
In answer to "Thisisace" Marilyn was the female Lead Singer in the Group 5th Dimension, you may recall one of their many hits AQUARIUS-LET THE SUNSHINE, back in the 60's I believe.
She later left the Group with one of the Male Singers Bill Davis Jnr and sung some songs as Marilyn McCoo and Bill Davis Jnr. (Just a bit of trivia)
"Up, Up and Away in My Beautiful Balloon" was another 5th Dimension hit, and my favorite song at the time (I was 5 :) And with husband, Billy Davis, Jr., Marilyn had a megahit with "You Don't Have to Be a Star to Be in My Show."
They're both great and do a wonderful job on this song. Marilyn McCoo had so many big hits during her day. It would be wonderful if she did a new album or went on tour.

Marilyn makes every song she sings better than the original. That must be why she hosted a show like Solid Gold!

Cliff: "Bitch, you aint outsinging me!"
McCoo: "Motherfucker, your pancake makeup glare is killing my eyes!"
Cliff: "HIT THE CRESCENDO!"
McCOO: "Life has NEW MEANING to mEEEEEE!"
Cliff: "She wishes she could pull off a duo-tone leather jacket"
