  • The Captain & Tennille's Most Comprehensive Major Label
    1 THE CAPTAIN & TENNILLE’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE MAJOR LABEL GREATEST HITS ALBUM LEADS OFF WITH “LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER” The Captain & Tennille, Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille, are one of the most successful duos in pop music history. But even more impressive than seven Top 10 hits, six of them gold, and five gold or platinum albums, or that their songs have become indelibly associated with the ‘70s, is that their music has enhanced more romantic liaisons since the summer of 1975 than just about any other artist. “Love Will Keep Us Together,” “Muskrat Love,” “The Way I Want To Touch You” and “Do That To Me One More Time” just may have put the X in Generation X. Yet those songs have not been brought together on a major label release since their gold 1977 Greatest Hits album. The Captain & Tennille: Ultimate Collection (Hip-O Records), released May 22, 2001, does that and more. With 22 digitally remastered selections, personal participation by The Captain & Tennille, and insightful liner notes, The Captain & Tennille: Ultimate Collection also marks their first multi-label anthology as well as their most comprehensive compilation. Their 1975 A&M debut was almost completed when they realized they needed another uptempo song and found “Love Will Keep Us Together” on a Neil Sedaka album. The song won the Grammy for Record Of The Year, hit #1 (also #1 Adult Contemporary) and went gold. When the Spanish language version, “Por Amor Viviremos,” also charted, it signaled the first time two versions of a #1 single charted in different languages by the same artist.

Make Your MoveBy DoverPoetAs a 10-year old kid in 1975, my bedroom walls were plastered with Captain and Tennille posters. I loved their music, and Toni's million-watt smile seemed to make life more bearable for this pre-pubescent, short-haired, trumpet-playing geek girl, with an alcoholic dad.Life went on, I survived, the walls got repainted, and years later, enter this book of Toni's. If you were a die-hard fan like I was of theirs back in the day, you approach this book with a pre-determined love/hate relationship: given the news of their divorce and the inevitable flurry of comments and assumptions from the press, you realize that your toes aren't going to be tapping with each page you turn, because you know that "Butterscotch Castle" won't be playing in the background...But, you are intrigued, and years in between youth, with hopefully more insight, coupled with maturity, makes you want to read this book, and that's what I did - in 2 days, to be exact.All of the standard memoir elements are there, and you get to learn a lot about Toni's family - the comedy and the tragedy, and the book progresses on from there.
