The Captain & Tennille - Come In From The Rain

"Come In From The Rain" is a fabulous song written by Carole Bayer Sager and Melissa Manchester and released in 1975. It was covered by any number of artists including this splendid version by Toni Tennille backed up by the Captain. The Captain and Tennille released this song on their third album which was named after the song. Toni hits this one out of the park.

[@imdangerous007]

In 1985 I was traveling on business to Reno, NV, and my wife was with me. We made reservations for the Captain and Tennille Show on Sunday night, then we had a terrible snowstorm. The only people that showed up was me, my wife and one other couple. They brought us to the first row and did the full 90 minute show. I was right at her feet as she sang and was mesmerized by her performance. That is one talented woman. And her version of Come In From The Rain is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@cocoanutpomeranian7987]

In 1977 I was working a concert in Cleveland for the record label. After the show (Front Row Theater) she wanted to go dancing. So I grabbed my rental car and about five of us including Toni piled in and we all went dancing! She was very nice and a great person.

[@hermanwilliamsiii6986]

Not a single singer in the history of this song, in my humble opinion, comes close to knocking it out of the park like Toni, in this version. Brings tears to my eyes every single time

[@truthhurtsalways4u]

I think it is over produced which might have something to do with the 39 tone deaf listeners. Cut out much of the music and just let Toni's voice carry it.

I miss this kind of music. It’s just not made much anymore. It takes so much talent to preform this way. A true artistic talent like Toni Tennille makes this so emotionally moving.

I just love the Captain and Tennille. I was sad to hear that their marriage was not a happy one.

[@jademusic1211]

@Jack Mason Daryl was very talented and came from a very musical family. May he rest in peace.

[@tkat6442]

@Jack Mason Well, the marriage wasn't good; Toni loved Daryl deeply, even went back and took care of him when he was dying. But Daryl was incapable of loving her back, really. I have heard that he was probably on the spectrum (as in autism), and just had very limited capacity that way. Even looking at all those pictures of them together, the way he was usually expressionless, that seems to fit, even though I never recognized it all those years ago. But to say he was talentless is not true at all. He was an equal partner in the music making with Toni. He did exactly what Richard Carpenter did for his sister Karen (another favorite duo of mine), arranging the music, sort of "packaging" her singing. The marriage itself was one-sided, and Toni did without a real love relationship all those 39 years. Richard and Karen Carpenter certainly had their problems in life, with drug addiction and her anorexia that eventually killed her. But both of those duos were among the greats of music in their time, and all four individuals were/are great musicians.

[@lisag18]

@Jack Mason what? Dragon was talented as was Ike. To dismiss them is just closed minded. Many people get married who shouldn't. Many people pick a-holes. Oh, well. Hopefully, they'll learn and not make the same mistake.

[@ravenel2]

She adored him and he was just too abused to love. She hung on for 40 years until she was done. Happens all the time. Ask any 75 year old woman.

What a gorgeous voice! Want to wish her a happy 75th birthday today! I hope she realizes that she had such an impact on music in the 70's and beyond and hope she will never give it up! I went to see her perform several years ago in Prescott Arizona where she resides now and ive got to say she sounds just as good as ever and is just as beautiful! Sorry to hear they are divorced now, thats still a little hard to believe but it seems like she is doing well, I hope the same for Daryl.

@@JP5466 no, she did for awhile but moved back to Prescott years ago before Daryl passed away and was with him when he died. She only spent a short time living in Florida. She's appearing now starting in November in Hello Dolly in Prescott. She mainly moved to Florida while she was working on her book and her sister Jane passed away recently who she was living close to in Florida. She says she is not ever moving again away from Prescott.

I agree pop music is on a decline, but instrumental music from teenagers and young adults is incredible. While the wrong people get famous for the wrong reasons, incredible talent from high schoolers and college students is relatively ignored for their lack of profitability and their youth. Look into marching bands, wind ensembles, or youth orchestra, and you will find passionate young musicians yet to get their time in the spotlight.

Magnificent. This was made during a time that encouraged people to work hard and develop their talent. If you had talent, you had a chance, just by singing a good song. You did not need some talent show. Today, talent takes a back seat to bombast, filth and controversy. The acts are selected and the complexity and musicality is second to the beat and the formula.
