GETTING SULTRY WITH MR. DRAGON AND HIS OLD LADY!

Oh yeah. They were one of the mainstays of seventies pop radio. They were like the Carpenter's kooky next door neighbors. He always wore a captain's hat. Except on this single cover, where he unleashed a mean man perm. She was your mom. They were The Captain And Tennille. And this was their last hit.

Who know who knocked these guys off the top spot and into has-been oblivion? Queen and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." The hit before them? Michael Jackson and "Rock With You." The hardest thing for a pop group to do is cross over a decade change and have continued success. And so it was with today's duo in question. The Captain And Tennille had a hot streak in the seventies, 8 consecutive top ten hits, a television show, occupying my neighbor's record collection next to eight tracks by Chicago and The Village People. Things slacked off, In 1979 they signed with cocaine fueled disco and Kiss label Casablanca, played this song for label boss L. Sniff McCokefiend (may not be his name), sent him over the moon and there you have it, A BIG HIT. Then the eighties came knocking and that was it.

It was off to Vegas and Tahoe for the duo in the ensuing decades. Toni found a second career as a torch bearer for the American Songbook, Daryll tended to his hat collection, and they divorced January 16, 2014, after 39 years of marriage. And so it goes. Please now to enjoy your-

-K-101.7 SONG OF THE DAY!

P.S: Toni Tennille spent a large part of the seventies shoring up her bank statement with session work on many of your mom's favorite albums, working with everybody from Elton John to...PINK FLOYD!?!
