Thank you very much and God bless you.
Read my mind!
Sedaka’s back!
Didn’t she divorce the Captain after he got dementia?
That proves how awful popular music was in 1975.
One of my favorite pop songs. So catchy!
The absolute pit of a song...
I could not change stations fast enough...
::gaaagggg:: [even thinking about it...]
You might find it annoying. Structurally, it is darned close to the platonic ideal of a pop record.
Toni Tennille’s voice is lovely. Arrangement was great. There were a LOT worse tunes in 1975. And THOSE are scads better from anything popular from the Grunge era and after.
I’ll take it over whatever is number 1 today....
Great song, great recording.
TG Genesis wasn’t all that popular in 1975, otherwise it might have not been great but rather sucked - like it did after “Duke” in the 80’s once they did become popular.
She couldn’t sing muskrat love anymore and had to leave.
Captain and Tenille have a lot of song worse than this one,
“I will, I will, I will!”
I prefer that to pretty anything that’s hit the charts in this century.
“There were a LOT worse tunes in 1975.”
Yep. There was good stuff on rock albums in the 60s and 70s and then lots of slop for the masses on AM radio.
Here’s one even worse than Captain and Tennille — “Philadephia Freedom” by Elton John released in Feb 1975. “... took me knee-high to a man, yeah gave me piece of mind my Daddy never had.”
I just binge watched a bunch of seasons of “That 70s Show”, and they used this on in the pilot. Regarding TT, her hairdo, slim build, and height made her look like a giant ****.
The Capt in that stupid ass hat.
