This Neil Sedaka song was number one and on the charts for an entire year, outselling all other singles in 1975. Sedaka who wrote over 500 songs in the 50s and 60s was one of the biggest stars of his time and produced records for many others.. At the end fade you can hear her sing "Sedaka is back" as the studio musicians applaud. Sedaka was nominated for the Grammy that year for writing this song.

More than just music artists, they were budding comedians, I remember Sonny and Cher doing an ad for their new show, and in it Sonny rhetorically asks, "What could be better than The Sonny & Cher Show?!" And without missing a beat, Cher deadpans, "The Cher Show". And a decade later, after their divorce, she got her own show. She was right, it WAS better! ;-]

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Toni Tennille and Daryl (Captain) Dragon. Back in the day Tennille was working in a show she had written, and Captain was working as a keyboard player for the Beach Boys. Tennille's show was relocating and they advertised for a new keyboard player. Captain auditioned and Tenille hired him. A couple years later The Beach Boys were looking to hire an additional Keyboard player and Captain returned the favor and suggested Tenille. She got the job. So they were working together with The Beach Boys and their relationship grew from that. They eventually went out on their own and had tons of hits. Oh he had a habit of always wearing that captains hat and while he was with the Beach Boys he picked up the nickname Captain.

[@MrRondonmon]

@@kimhesketh2016 According to her story. The reason we get so much BS nowadays, like Trump Russia, is because people believe ANYTHING, without proof. I never take one person's word over another. It's not my business to take sides. If he had liver problems, maybe he was an alcoholic, and maybe that's truly what she hated, and maybe she stated that instead of telling everyone he was a drunken sot, I have no clue, people are not always on the up and up about their personal lives. Our *Jerry Springer* generation is way too quick to jump on a bandwagon and run with it without proof. If I divorced someone, and they fell into a deep funk and had become a sot alcoholic, for whatever reason, maybe they just got depressed, and if I was a very public figure, and I truly loved them, I could see myself saying, we just divorced because they were very cold, and never stated they loved me. That puts off all the nosy people from digging into the matter any deeper and finding out the other person was an alcoholic etc. My point is, things are not always as they seem. Never take things at face value.

Toni Tennille charmed everyone and they were so popular that they ended up getting a variety show. A fun fact about that song was at the fade out they sing Sedaka is back over and over giving credit to the song writer and performer Neil Sedaka (laughter in the rain) he had many hits himself.

[@Dragonsinger71]

The "Captain" had quite a musical background. His father was Carmen Dragon, who was an award winning songwriter and orchestra leader, eventually head of a university orchestra. Waaaaaa-aay back in the day I got to attend a special regional program hosted on the campus of University of the Pacific (UOP) that featured a band, an orchestra and a choir that performed and got it recorded. The participants were the best members of each program from many of the high schools of Northern California. The groups of performers were so large that they placed the band and orchestras on the main floor normally reserved for an audience, and the choir filled the balcony. Consequently the audience for the evening performance were seated on the stage. The choir was directed by Jester Hairston, a composer and director of choral music in Hollywood films. He even got talked into acting in a Tarzan film back in the 1950's. Anyway, it was day that I'll always remember. Observing and being directed by such supremely talented artists was a once in a lifetime experience. I've lost my vinyl copy of our performance many years ago, but singing in a choir of hundreds of voices was beyond description.

So, watching this video reminds me of what an innocent time the 70's were. The war was over and the bulk of the hippie movement was winding down a little. These guys were the epitome of wholesome. They resurrected Neil Sedaka's career practically single handedly and he is another song writer/performer that you should check out some time. He has quite a large and older catalogue of songs. Toni had an amazing voice and The Captain was an amazing song writer, master musician, song arranger and orchestra leader. His real name was Daryl Dragon and his father was Carmen Dragon who was a well known orchestra leader. I saw them live in Reno, Nevada in either late 70's or early 80's. I was a real rock chick back then and wasn't thinking I was going to enjoy seeing them but Harrah's comp'ed the tickets so I went. I was blown away by their performance. Toni's voice was just so strong and powerful. They lived in South Lake Tahoe, California and so they came to Reno a fair amount. They divorced in 2014 and Daryl died from kidney failure in about 2019, I believe. I know she was there with him when he died. He had not remarried.
