The Captain & Tennille – “Love Will Keep Us Together” And “Do That To Me One More Time”

The Captain & Tennille certainly picked the right song when they sang “Love Will Keep Us Together” back in 1975 – not only did the record go to Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 nine weeks after its debut, the husband and wife team really are still together.

“Do That To Me One More Time” also did pretty well for them. It too went gold and reached Number 1 in 1979.

“Captain” Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille married on 11 November 1975, and the following year they sang in the White House for Queen Elizabeth II and President Gerald Ford during the American Bicentennial celebration.

Toni Tenille was also involved as a session singer on albums by top artists such as The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Elton John and Art Garfunkel.

Here’s the Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield song “Love Will Keep Us Together” that did so well for The Captain & Tennille in 1975 (looks like she’s going to jump off the chair any minute…):

And their 1979 hit “Do That To Me One More Time”, written by Toni Tennille, at a somewhat more sedate pace:

Nice beach.
