 Condensed Down to the Basics!!!
Submitted on: 2009-09-11 |

| This is a surprisingly good basic CD collection of Captain and Tennille hit songs. Recorded well with little to no fiddling with (little to no remastering), all seem to be the original songs we all know/love. Condensed down to the very basics--all good songs--very reasonably priced--good deal! We love it! |

 All you need of one of the most popular pop acts of the 70s!

When you say the 1970s the most immediate thought is Disco music.Disco reigned supreme during these heady days but smack in the middle were alot of other acts that were decidedly non-Disco eking out a pretty good career.One of those acts was Captain and Tennille.
"Captain" Daryl Dragon played a mean keyboard and had backed many a band including the Beach Boys when he auditioned for Toni Tennile.Toni was a great singing talent and the two struck up an immediate bond,eventually marrying in 1975.The two submitted a demo of "The Way I Want to Touch You" and they were signed by A&M Records.Daryl was responsible for most of the arrangements and the two struck musical gold with songs like Smokey Robinson's "Shop Around"(they made it their own),"Muskrat Love","Lonely Night","Love Will Keep us Together" and others.
Unless you are a compleatist and a fanatical Captain and Tennille fan,all of the duos biggest hits and minor ones are here for your enjoyment;you need not look any further.And for the price this is a bargoon and a half.
Dragon's arrangements were always pretty slick and a close listen reveals his precision playing while beautifully suporting Toni's wonderful vocal talents.As an aside I do believe that Toni also employed her sister as a back up vocalist on many of their early hits.
The duo had a short lived TV series which thankfully lasted only one year.It was a sickly sweet affair which did nothing for their careers.Both have apparently been keeping busy since.I have not heard as much of Daryl as I have Toni who backed up Elton John on his mega-hit song"Don't the Let Sun come down on me" and has worked with Pink Floyd.In addition she did some concerts and released CDs singing from the great American Songbook.
Some of these Millenium Collections I find just cannot possibly encompass their particular subject matters' career in just one CD but many others can and this is one of them.For the price this is as precise and good a release for the Captain and Tennille as you will find anywhere.All of the songs have been digitally mastered well and I recommend these toe tapping hits to everyone. |

I really enjoyed this cd because it has all of their great songs on it unlike their greatest hits album.
This is a must have for any collector of 70's music. |

Nostalgic trip back to the 70s.

| That unique, synthesized sound with Ton Tennille's marvelous voice make this a nostalgic treat for fans of 70s pop. True, a lot of the lyrics are corny or downright inane (Muskrat Love), but it's a very pleasant collection of tender and/or happy tunes. |
