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

[hamptonjm]

I love this song

[aldomar01]

Now this is a beautiful song. When I hear this song I am missing my husband in Jamaica Mr. Annakie. I luv u baby!!

[mickiyelly1960]

a great song!

[scheckdj]

The harmony on this song is so beautiful. Marilyn and Billy really did sound great together and their loved shined thru!

[mrstanbmw]

this song breaks my heart because I didn't get to love in time

[shmuli9]

This is by far my fave song by 'M.C. Coo and Billy Davis Jr", more than "You Don't Have to Be a Star" or "Your Love"...

[budscin]

@shmuli9 Outta sight. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. But yes, this is a wonderful, underrated song. Thanks

[MsTexas73]

@shmuli9 My favorite of their ballads is "My Reason to Be Is You" from their second album...but this song, along with the others you mentioned and "Nothing Can Stop Me" and "Never Gonna Let you Go" are my favs on the first album. I just wish "Got to Be a Happy Ending" had been included on this album. It is FIYAH! And IMO should have been an A side single instead of the Bside to this song.

Em 1976, comprei o LP da novela "Os Apóstolos de Judas", da Rede Tupi de televisão, e continha essa faixa, do lado B a 4ª música. Me apaixonei logo de cara por essa melodiosa canção. Ela embalou muitos romances meus. Maravilhosa!

[219finest88]

The ppl slow dancing @ the end brought tears 2 my eyes

[brwabrown]

WOW i was 10 when this song was out and I use to sing it like I was grown. Makes me think of the good ole days...Shout out to Marilyn & Billy

[teremanila]

This remind me of my high school days!

[howados]

This was one of the best songs ever brings back so much memories for me.

[cassyclim8]

my fave song from this lovely couple. I thank my mom for introducing me to their music.

[Quattyroy]

Love music...I got to make you mine!!

[penntaker]

This episode was just on Centric last night.

[MsVernita1]

Such a beautiful song.

[karameldreem]

I LOVE THIS SONG; THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HEARING THIS TODAY ; THEY ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE AND THEY ARE MY FAVORITE CELEBRITY COUPLE.

[bigdaddy45able]

This is a beautiful song,1976 was a great year.This tune is one reason why,in addition to all of that bicenntenial shit.

[Noodleydoo]

Loved this song as a kid.

[JonKonLA]

One of their best tunes.

[JonKonLA]

One of their best tunes.

[lovetrain442]

she is a serious honey!!!

[karykares]

where can I find love like this?

[MsTexas73]

@karykares Billy and Marilyn always say when considering a serious relationship, make the person your FRIEND first...and get to know who they are...if you don't even LIKE who that person is or how they treat other people, ...then you don't need to get in any relationship with them...let alone a marriage. Billy and Marilyn always say that they are each other's BEST friend, as well as everything. 1 sec ago

This is my JAM!!!

[blkshepherd]

this was alot better than you dont have to be a star. dont know why it didnt chart and disappeared without a trace. It always amazes me when artists material that really sound good dont become a hit but the so so does. Rather strange. but prime example here. excellent performance by both and one of their best even beating out some songs they sang with the fifth dimension.

[keithcop]

I agree totally, I thought it was a sensational song, thought it would chart, but no! And like a lot of stars--I think they just dumped it right out of their act, but fans have always loved it

[yesteryeartoday]

I remember the duet performing this song on American Bandstand. Honestly, I thought it was a better song than "You Don't Have a Star", but it barely got into the Billboard Top 100.

[mrob75]

I remember buying this record back in 1975...Never made the Top 40 and to this day I've always wondred why...Great song!

[TheAngelEyes5]

wonderful song.... just love it so much.

Thankyou.

[rievans57]

Billy Davis Jr. was such a great singer. He reminds of Sam and Dave's style of singing. Marilyn McCoo can sing anything plus she's a two-looker.

[Noodleydoo]

I agree. I think he is the great unrecognized soul singer of the 60's/70's.

[chrstianmom]

ive been looking for this song for so long the last time i heard it was back in the daywhen i was spinning my vynals thanks for posting

[MsTexas73]

Just in case you didn't know...this album is on cd. :^)

[potaluca]

Marilyn McCoo is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Not even gaucho pants can detract from that! ;D

[MsTexas73]

gauchos rule...I love them.

[popetzm]

this was & is the song, i was 6 when black raio was spinning this slow jam favorite

[tonet15pogi]

I remember the 70's, my high school crushes, where ever they are right now, this song is for all of you. I love you all. muah!!!

[MANILABOY6631]

The 70's was a decade when song writing about love was at its peak. It was not about drugs, or violence. or hate, just love.

[kingschild1]

Oh Thank you so much! I just love this jam it has such a beautiful melody and the lyrics well, they just don't make them like this anymore!

[ogkeedah]

So no one knew why I was laughing while I slow danced on the side riser to this song.

Looks like my partner and I were wrestling a gun away from each other. (RT: Personalized blue tee shirt and a pony tail)

They often got to close to that little poorly made railing and I was playing the game of survival.

Often they wanted to feature me slow dancing on Soul Train and I seldom like it.

So I hummed "I Hope The Dance Is Over In Time."

LOL

Peace,

Keedah

The O.G.

[MsTexas73]

LOL...Keedah...girl that is funny. Thanks for sharing.

[lalajmv]

[clsumjr]
