They made some fun music. I recall most of their hits.
The lady in the duo was/is Toni Tennille.
Toni wrote and performed some great songs, many of them ‘very sexy, even for back in the 70’s. One in particular:
“Do It To Me One More Time”. When that song came on the radio, my father turned the station, since my mother was in the car with us. I guess he felt uncomfortable at what that song lead him to think about, in the middle of a Spring day.
Come to find out, she and ‘The Captain’ were not working up a sweat after all. Toni wrote a book after her divorce a few years back. She says she never quite knew if he cared about her or not, outside of the (stage) performances.
She just kept hoping things would finally change. That he would become more expressive. After decades of marriage, that certainty of his affections never really happened to Toni’s satisfaction.
I was quite surprised when I read this. It was rather sad, but not a total surprise. Sometimes the best love, the most exquisite emotion only exists in our imagination.
I have always thought that Daryl had some mild form of Aspergers.

But she sang it so sweet and innocently. Another tune like that was “The Way I Want To Touch You”. She was quite a looker back in the day. (We all were, heh!)
