They're Your Dreamgirls, They'll Make You Happy

Music legends abound in today's birthday lineup!

To honor Miss Debbie Allen (September 30, 1953) and Miss Marilyn McCoo (September 30, 1943) on their birthday, here are re-posts of two legendary clips. In the first, behold the genius that is Debbie Allen as she performs a fabulous/insane medley from Dreamgirls, featuring lots of dry ice and stunt gays -- a Debbie Allen Speciality Number if there ever was on. In the second, Miss McCoo and two rather spindly chorus boys camp and vamp their way through "Muscles," the Michael Jackson-penned Diana Ross hit.

La Ross herself pays tribute to rock and R&B pioneer Frankie Lymon (September 30, 1942 - February 27, 1968) with her perky rendition of his classic hit, "Why Do Fools Fall in Love." Then, crooner extraordinaire (and out homo) Johnny Mathis (September 30, 1934) serenades us with a selection from Guys & Dolls, and even gets in a few terpischorean turns. Finally, the magnificent Cissy Houston (September 30, 1933) -- mother of Whitney, aunt to Dionne, industry legend and singer's singer -- turns The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" into a soulful tour de force.
