Friday (8/8) is the birthday of Jay David. He was not a founding member of Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, but was the drummer during their period of greatest commercial success. To celebrate (I think that's him in the video -- it's from just around the time that he left the group):

Saturday (8/9) was the birthday of the late, great, Wanda Young. She was not an original member of the Casinyets, or the group when they changed their name to the Marvels. However, she joined the band just about the time they signed a record deal with Motown, at which time their name was changed to the Marvelettes. She became the lead singer of the group after 1965. To celebrate, 1st, a hit of theirs where she sang lead, and also their first hit:
