Happy 86h Birthday, Toni Tennille! Born May 8, 1940. Toni is a singer-songwriter and keyboardist. Toni and Daryl Dragon, “Captain & Tennille,” first met in 1971 and initially collaborated as touring musicians for The Beach Boys. Daryl Dragon earned his “Captain” nickname from Beach Boy Mike Love because of the nautical captain’s hat he constantly wore while performing. Captain and Tennille’s most famous track, “Love Will Keep Us Together” (1975), became the best-selling single of that year and won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. Toni wrote several of the group’s major hits, including “The Way I Want to Touch You” and the chart-topping “Do That to Me One More Time” (their second number one hit). They hosted their own TV variety show on ABC from 1976 to 1977. Toni also sang on albums like Elton John’s Caribou and Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Toni and Daryl married in 1975, and they were known for their “fairytale” public image. However, Toni Tennille’s 2016 memoir revealed the relationship was emotionally distant. They divorced in 2014 but remained close friends until Dragon’s death in 2019. . . . . #toni #thecaptain #1970sfashion #70shair #captainandtennille

Captain & Tennille - Do That to Me One More Time [1979 US-1980 UK] Captain & Tennille were American recording artists whose primary success occurred in the 1970s. The husband-and-wife team were "Captain" Daryl Dragon (1942–2019) and Toni Tennille (born 1940). They have five albums certified gold or platinum and scored numerous hits on the US singles charts, the most enduring of which included "Love Will Keep Us Together", "Do That to Me One More Time", and "Muskrat Love." They hosted their own television variety series on ABC in 1976–77. After a decline in popularity from the height of their success in the mid-1970s, the Captain and Tennille signed with Casablanca Records under the guidance of Neil Bogart. "Do That to Me One More Time" was a comeback for the duo, but they failed to achieve further success on Casablanca and their contract was not renewed. Vocalist and songwriter Toni Tennille played the song for Bogart at her house with husband Daryl Dragon in Pacific Palisades, California on an electric piano. Bogart reacted enthusiastically, saying: "That's a smash! There's no doubt in my mind that's going to be your first single."

It moves at a tempo of 90 beats per minute in common time. The vocals span from E4 to B5. #CaptainAndTennille #Musica #Musik #Musique
