   今天介紹一首 1977 年元月8日的冠軍曲 Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.所合唱的〈 You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)〉。

  夫妻二人組成的歌唱組合。McCoo 於 1943 年 9月30日出生於新澤西州澤西市。Davis於1938年6月26日出生於密蘇裡州聖路易市。兩人都曾是「第五度空間」（The 5th Dimension）合唱團的成員。這個合唱團是1960年代後期非常紅的團體，樂評人將他們定位為是一個黑人抒情流行合唱團，他們最有名的歌是1969年的連續 6周冠軍曲〈Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In〉。

  1975年11月，夫妻檔 Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.離開了他們曾經輝煌的組合（The 5th Dimension）。1977 年，這對夫婦主持了夏季綜藝電視節目。 1981年至1984 年，McCoo 也與他人共同主持了電視節目《Solid Gold》。

  〈你不必是明星（才能參加我的節目）〉，一首值得回味的老歌。

Baby, come as you are

with just your heart

And I'll take you in

You're rejected and hurt,

to me you're worth

What you have within

I don't need no superstar

'Cause I'll accept you as you are

You won't be denied,

'cause I'm satisfied

With the love that you can inspire

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my show

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my show

Somebody nobody knows

could steal the tune

That you want to hear

So stop your runnin' around,

'cause now you've found

What was cloudy is clear, oh honey

There'll be no cheerin' from the crowd

Just two hearts beatin' out loud

There'll be no parade, no tv or stage

Only me 'til your dyin' day

You don't have to be a star, baby,

(no no no)

to be in my show

(To be, oh honey)

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my, my, my, my, my, my show

(ad-lib)

Don't think your star has

to shine for me to find out

Where you're comin' from

What is a beauty queen if it don't mean

That I'm number one? (oh honey)

I don't need no superstar

'Cause I'll accept you as you are

You won't be denied,

'cause I'm satisfied

With the love that you can inspire

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my show

You don't have to be a star,

baby,

(no no no baby)

to be in my show

(oh sweet darlin')

You don't have to be a star, baby,

(hey hey)

to be in my, my, my, my, my, my show
