The duo continues to tour and celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last summer. “Faith and friendship keep us together,” says McCoo, 66. “Our friendship carried us through our early years of challenges, and our faith has given us the strength and answers to work through problems that could have destroyed our marriage.” Adds Davis, 69: “We often get asked if after all these years we get tired of working, traveling and just being together so much. I have to say, ‘Absolutely not.'” Their most recent album, The Many Faces of Love, is a collection of love songs from the 1960s and ’70s.
