The main problem with "Love Will Keep Us Together" is that they didn't play it quite enough.
Your favorite Captain and Tenille song....

In Seattle we have many oldies and classic rock radio stations and I never hear any Captian and Tenille or ABBA songs.
Coincidence?

Look at the liner notes for the album, and the end credits for the film of "Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'".
Hey, is that who I think it is as one of the backup singers???????
During the duo's period of highest popularity, Tennille also worked as a session singer (most frequently partnered with Beach Boy Bruce Johnston), performing backup on no fewer than three Elton John albums including Caribou, Blue Moves, and 21 At 33 (some vocally arranged by Dragon) and most notably (and prominently) on the classic "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". She also appeared as a backup vocalist on tracks by Art Garfunkel and The Beach Boys, as well as Pink Floyd for whom she performed backing tracks on The Wall album.
In the liner notes of the Captain & Tennille anthology Ultimate Collection: The Complete Greatest Hits, Tennille explains how her work on Pink Floyd's album gained her at least one new fan:
---From the Wikipedia Article on "The Captain and Tennille"I went to see the [Pink Floyd] concert at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles. There was a 15-year-old boy sitting in front of me who recognized me. He turned around and snottily said, "What are YOU doing here?" So I told him I sang on the album. He ran off to find a friend who had brought the LP to the show, and looked at the back to see if my name was really on there. A few minutes later, he came back and apologetically said, "Can I have your autograph?"

Don't remember any of their other songs.
I believe that is called protective amnesia.

favorite memory of the Captain and Tenille? They sang at the White House in front of the Queen of England. They sang "Muskrat Love" and one of her ladies-in-waiting was very sniffy about how inappropriate that song was for the queen! As the mother of 4 kids, the Queen must have had some kind of love, I doubt she is that sheltered!

I never wanted
I never wanted to kiss a man
The way that I want to kiss you
You are sunshine you are shadow
You are morning you are night (you are night)
You are good times you are hard times
you are darkness you are light...
I can't believe I still know the words to that song. i can't remember what it's called but i know it pretty well. I think I was in the third grade when it came out.
