Author Biography Toni Tennille is an icon of American music, having been part of the popular duo Captain and Tennille with her husband at the time, Daryl Dragon. Review "Love Will Keep Us Together" is one of the last songs I wrote with Howie Greenfield in the early seventies. Ill never forget the day when I received a 45rpm in the mail of my song by a new group "The Captain and Tennille", which by the way, I could not pronounce correctly. I put it on the turntable and almost fell off my chair. It was the most perfect production and performance of a pop song that I had ever heard.I marvel at what a great singer Toni Tennille truly is. Certainly in the league of Ella Fitzgerald and others from years before. Now, she has written a moving memoir filled with the strength and warmth she has always possessed. I will always have a special place in my heart for her as a person and for her as an artist."- Neil Sedaka, legendary recording artist and songwriter. -- Neil Sedaka Long Description Since bursting onto the scene in the mid 70s, the pop duo Captain and Tennille have long defined the sparkling, optimistic idea of everlasting love, both in their music and through their image as a happy and, seemingly, unbreakable couple.
