McCoo and Davis, both former members of The 5th Dimension, have long careers as recording artists, performers and authors. The couple has won seven Grammy Awards in addition to earning 15 gold and three platinum records. In 2004, the couple wrote a book celebrating more than 45 years of marriage and shared their secrets to staying happy.
