[FAHQTOO]

Nobody outside of America knows who they are.

I exist in a place that obviously pales in significance to America called “the rest of the planet”.

I think it might just be your age and taste in music that accounts for you not knowing of them, CN. They had a sizable international following and several of their songs hit the UK pop charts.

I think I'm only 6 or 7 years older than you, but like all genres. My dad loved past and current music of all types and my mom loved (and still loves) to dance. There was always music and dancing in the house, from way before my time and after. I never cared if the music or the moves were considered cool or anything like that; I only cared how they made me feel. Having said that, I'm not nor have I ever been a fan of the Captain and Tennille as a duo.

BUT, Tennille is actually a great vocalist. She sang back-up for Elton John on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" which I love (not to be confused with the Michael Jackson version: "Don't Let Your Son Go Down on Me"), Art Garfunklle, Pink Floyd on "The Wall"... Not too shabby.

This is the one song of the Captain and Tennille that I actually like. I've twice felt the way about a man as the woman who's the subject of the lyrics - that's probably why I like it.

I don't remember liking their music much, but someone in the house did. We had an Album of theirs and I distinctly remember they had 2 bulldogs on the cover with them. I wanted those bulldogs.

Probably for the best though. We had two Dobermans and mixing them up with two bulldogs would have been a bad idea.

C&T got to keep their B-dogs...
