You are the first channel I've come across to react to Captain and Tennille - thank you! They were my favorite when I was a kid. i loved everything about Toni Tennille - her charisma, her dazzling smile, her beauty, her style, & of course that smooth melodic voice. I even copied her hair style when i was about 8 or 9 years old. I sported this exact same haircut for a few years - LOL! Please check out Shop Around, Muskrat Love, & Do that to me one more time. You're going to groove to that one especially, you'll see what I mean when you hear it... :-)

The Captain and Tennille were Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille. They were a hit music duo during the 1970s. For a short time, Toni Tennille had her own syndicated talk show during the 1980s. The Captain and Tennille remained as staples on the "Oldies Pop" touring circuit, until Daryl Dragon's death from renal failure last year, at the age of 76.

Loved your video and your reaction & take on it👍... I was born in the summer of '69, so I'll be 54 years old July 6th, 2023. For me, like a lot of people, I still feel young! So you kind of made me feel a little older when you talked about this music as being an oldie, lol. In my generation, we think of oldies as being music from that malt shop era of the 1950's and 1960's. But I feel you, it's all good! What I really wanted to comment on is your reaction to this music and its sound and I really, really dig the way you got into the sound and how you extrapolated from the music and the lyrics the meaning behind it! Love is what keeps us together. I like the fact you were able to find a way to get a bit of a groove to that song, and express how you could see what it was saying. Something tells me that if you wanted to really make it happen, you could probably take this song and make it yours, and it would become a new hit in today's generation... Not unlike the way Whitney Houston took Dolly Pardon's song and made it a "cross-over hit" that brought 3 or 4 generations together!

Thank you for what you do… exposing a whole new audience to great singers from the past who had amazing natural talent, and did not need autotune or back up dancers ... just their amazing and unique voices and artistry. If you haven’t reacted to the Barbra Streisand song “One Less Bell to Answer/A House is Not a Home medley, written by Burt Bacharach and performed on his TV special in 1971, I would highly recommend it. Anything by Streisand in the 1970s, is at the height of her singing prowess in my opinion. Talk about power, purity and control ... and it’s the ultimate breakup song, which gives it extra emotion. This the only song that I know of, where an artist is singing a duet with themselves. The video for the song is technically amazing, especially for the time period that it was done. Barbara sings the primary part of the song live on the show, accompanied by pre-recorded, live-singing, to achieve the duet. Check it out! She’s not the highest selling female artist of all time for nothing. Carry on with your love and appreciation of all kinds of music. Peace out. ☮️ (here’s a link to the video, as sometimes it’s not easy to find the version with the live performance, just a recorded version from her Barbra Joan Streisand album.

Toni Tennille (pronounced "ten neal") and Daryl Dragon (The Captain, RIP) were both session musician in LA from the mid sixties and throughout the seventies. The Captain toured with The Beach Boys before he and his wife embarked on their own career. This song was written by Neil Sedaka (which is why Toni sings "Sedaka's back" at the end of the song) and became C & T's theme song for their television show.
