Producer: Daryl Dragon; Morgan Cavett; Daryl Dragon; Morgan Cavett; Mike Ragogna (Compilation) Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Captain & Tennille: Toni Tennille (vocals); Daryl Dragon (keyboards). Liner Note Author: Robyn Flans. Photographer: Norman Seeff. The latest in a long line of greatest-hits compilations and anthologies for the Captain (aka Daryl Dragon) and his lovely partner in crime Toni Tennille, this 20th Century Masters collection gathers all of their most well-known hits and a few fan favorites in one economically sensible disc. Starting off with one of their most popular tunes, "Love Will Keep Us Together," the disc also includes the curiously titled "Muskrat Love," the less-curiously titled "The Way I Want to Touch You" and its apparent sequel, the soft rock smash hit "Do That to Me One More Time." Die-hard fans of the duo will already own these recordings, but for casual listeners who are looking just for the hits or a survey of their career will find everything they could possibly need right here. ~ Rob Theakston
Perhaps no other song embodies the breezy, carefree sound of 1970s pop better than Captain & Tennille's smash hit "Love Will Keep Us Together." Both Daryl "Captain" Dragon and wife Toni Tennille were veterans of the music industry when they hooked-up in the early '70s. In 1975 the duo scored their first number one with the aforementioned confection (written by Brill Building vet and soft-rock kingpin Neil Sedaka), which also won a Grammy for Record of the Year. Captain & Tennille recorded several other hits during the decade, and in 1979 they reached the top of the charts again with "Do That To Me One More Time." Tennille embarked on a solo career in the '80s and into the '90s, but the duo reunited in 1995 for the album TWENTY YEARS OF ROMANCE.
