Great seventies pop - This couple never made much impact in the UK but had several huge hits in America, where Love will keep us together topped the charts. This particular compilation is a straight reissue of their 1977 greatest hits album, therefore misses all their later hits including Do that to me one more time. However, this is an excellent set, compiled from their first three albums.Among the American hits here are Muskrat love (originally recorded by the group America), Shop around (a cover of a Miracles song from the early sixties), Love will keep us together and Lonely night angel face (both written by Neil Sedaka). Circles, Can t stop dancing, Come in from the rain, We never really say goodbye and Disney girls are also wonderful, as are the covers of Wedding song (Petula Clark) and I write the songs (Barry Manilow).If you enjoy the music of the Carpenters you will probably also enjoy Captain and Tennille s music. Whether this is the best compilation to buy is debatable, given that several other compilations have since been released that includes their later hits. However, this is an outstanding collection of their early music.
I love this CD - Who in the United States can remember the 1970s without thinking about the Captain & Tennille? In 1975 they released their debut album, Love Will Keep Us Together, and in 1976 they launched their short-lived (but excellent) variety show. They had met in 1971, when he was performing with the Beach Boys, were married in 1975, and are still together all of these years later - love did indeed keep them together. (I love a love story!)This album was originally released in 1977, and was re-released on CD in 1990. It contains twelve tracks, all of which show off Toni Tennille s wonderful voice, and Daryl Captain Dragon s mastery of the keyboard. All of my favorites are here, and the quality of the recordings is excellent. I love this CD, and highly recommend it to everyone who likes good music.
