The quirky husband-and-wife team of Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille were even positioned to be the next Sonny and Cher with a wacky variety series in '76, but after squabbling with ABC about the direction of the show (C&T wanted more music, execs wanted more comedy), the two decided to sail away after one season and leave the lowbrow yuks to Donny & Marie. The couple would soon return to TV with specials that had them In New Orleans and In Hawaii and then back to Los Angeles for an all-music Songbook. This week these lively specials come to DVD (along with The Captain and Tennille Christmas Show) and have the Captain and Tennille singing again. TV Guide: Were you surprised in 1975 when "Love Will Keep Us Together" became such a massive hit? Toni Tennille: Well, I knew if the climate was right and radio stations needed an up-tempo song, they would add it. It was just a great radio record — it really popped out on the radio, and A&M, the record label, really did a great job promoting it. Daryl "The Captain" Dragon: And we did our job, too, by driving around to radio stations with our pet bulldogs and the record. [The DJs] started playing the single and they would say, "Hey, aren’t those the two crazy people who came in here with their dogs?" TV Guide: What's something people might be surprised to know about the Captain and Tennille? Tennille: Well, the biggest surprise to people is that.... (read entire article here..)

Date: Dec. 07, 2005 Reno-Gazette / Gannet News Article Back on board with Captain & Tennille DVD presents highlights from couple's series Forrest Hartman (forrest@rgj.com) RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL December 7, 2005 The "Captain & Tennille" variety show is more fun today than during its initial run in the 1970s. At least Toni Tennille thinks so. "When we were doing it, it was so incredibly hard," said Tennille, the pop icon and Washoe Valley resident. "You had to learn all the numbers all in the space of a week, all the sketches, all the dance numbers. You'd do them all, and then the minute you had it in the can you were started on the next one." For Tennille's husband, Daryl "The Captain" Dragon, it was even more uncomfortable. "Toni was brought up in theater and was an English major," he said. "I was the guy who sat in the back of the class, could barely wait for math to get over, kind of got through English and failed speech, literally. "» Here I am reading cue cards all of a sudden on television." Last month, R2 Entertainment released "Captain & Tennille: The Ultimate Collection," a three-DVD set featuring highlights from the variety show. The release prompted Tennille and Dragon to relive their pop music heyday. This time, they say, they're having a blast. "Frankly, I have not seen these shows since we did them," Tennille said. "I was watching on a computer with my headphones on and laughing out loud at some of the stuff (during a flight to New York). I know people thought I was nuts." When they started producing the show, Dragon said, he nearly did go nuts. "We were going to call ourselves the Zombie & Tennille after about the third week," he said. "I had to stay up literally to midnight sometimes working with the orchestra and producing the music. And then, the unions required that you had to get up the next morning and videotape the show. We had to get up at 5 o'clock." Of course, there were great moments as well. For Dragon, one of the best was on stage with comedian George Burns. "I'm up there playing behind George Burns (who is) doing his shtick thing and realizing that I was listening to George Burns in the '40s on radio," Dragon said. "It never occurred to me that I'd ever be within 400 miles of him." One of Tennille's fondest memories is of performing sketch comedy with Bob Hope. "He was a diamond cutter, and I was a snooty woman with a great big diamond that needed to be cut," she said. "I'm doing this skit with him, and I'm holding my own and I'm thinking, 'My God. I'm with one of the greatest comic timing people in the history of show biz.'"‰" Those moments and more are captured on "The Ultimate Collection," a set Dragon and Tennille have been anticipating for years. But red tape kept the programs locked away until last month. "You have to clear everybody," Tennille said. "The writers, the dancers, the singers, all of the unions involved. Everybody. Legally, we tried and tried and tried (to release the shows on video), and we kept running into roadblocks." The man who finally made it happen was producer Brant Berry of R2 Entertainment. Dragon said he noticed that Berry had released a Sonny & Cher television collection and decided to try to reach him. "I just e-mailed thinking, 'Well, it's worth a shot,'" Dragon said. "He turns out to be a super fan. I mean truly a fan, not just a jive fan." Berry managed to get the needed clearances for the release. For the DVDs, he pared down more than 20 episodes of the show to what he considers the best moments. "We got to the place where we just trusted him to pick out stuff and also get rid of some of the stuff that wasn't too funny," Tennille said. "He did a fabulous job (editing) and you can tell it was done with love and respect." The DVD set coincides with R2 Entertainment's release of the CD boxed set "Songs of Joy: The Complete Captain & Tennille Collection." Tennille is excited about because the collection it contains six of the couple's albums recorded between 1975 and 1980. Included are all the couple's hits, including "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Muskrat Love," "Can't Stop Dancin'" and "Do That To Me One More Time." What makes the collection special to Tennille and collectors, however, is the inclusion of lesser-known songs, which were previously unavailable on CD. "I was telling Brant the other day how thankful I am to him," Tennille said. "I'm listening to stuff that we recorded a long time ago. Stuff I wrote that I'd almost forgotten I wrote." With so much material hitting stores before Christmas, Tennille and Dragon have been jetting around the country for promotional interviews. Just don't expect them to tour. Tennille said the closest thing fans will see to a Captain & Tennille concert is an occasional special appearance, like the one she and Dragon made for the Reno Philharmonic's Spirit of the Season concert last weekend. "Daryl and I toured for years and years and years," she said. "I just don't want to do that anymore, and I don't have to. I don't want to leave home. In fact, I remember in the middle of all our crazy touring in the late '70s when Daryl and I would drive away from the house in the cold and the rain to catch an early morning flight, I'd be almost in tears. I just didn't want to go. I loved the performing part. I loved the fans. "» I hated the hotels and the food and the airports and missing my dogs. It was terrible."

C&T's career !! Tennille Headlines RCO Benefit Concert Editorial RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL 11/21/2003 11:48 pm Tennille headlines benefit concert Entertainer Toni Tennille, for headlining a benefit concert for the Reno Chamber Orchestra. Tennille, the Nevada governor’s ambassador for the arts, and her husband, Daryl Dragon, also gave countless hours to promoting and preparing for the event, gave the RCO the use of their concert staff and came up with numerous creative ideas to make the event better, including a live CD recording that was available by order to concert-goers. Tennille also has done benefit concerts for the Reno Philharmonic and Nevada Opera. Update: RCO Live-Performance CD Available ! 12/21/2003 A Special Note From Toni... In early November of this year (2003) Daryl and I performed a benefit concert for the Reno Chamber Orchestra (RCO). The concert was held at the University of Nevada, Reno, at Nightingale Hall, a lovely, intimate 600 seat theatre. The concert was a fabulous success, and raised much-needed funds for the RCO. Daryl and I arranged to have the concert professionally recorded, with proceeds from sales of the CDs to benefit the RCO. A recording of the entire concert is now available in a two CD set. In the first CD, I sing many of my favorite songs written by great American composers such as George Gershwin and Johnny Mercer, accompanied by pianist and alto sax player, Matt Catingub, and bassist Hans Halt. Many of the songs I chose were requested by audience members in the weeks before the concert. Some of the songs on the first CD include MAKIN’ WHOOPEE, ZIPADEEDOODAH, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY, I GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN’T GOOD, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, and FOR ALL WE KNOW. The second CD begins with four great standards, which were among the special requests I received, including Charlie Chaplin’s SMILE, and George Gershwin’s OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY. Then I introduce the “Special Guest Star” for the evening, Captain of the Keyboards, DARYL DRAGON!!! As usual, all bets are off once Daryl takes the stage! We performed many C&T favorites, including MUSKRAT LOVE, DO THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME, LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER, and COME IN FROM THE RAIN. We also did a version of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS, a special request from an audience member. We closed the concert with the song I wrote to close each one of our television shows, WE NEVER REALLY SAY GOODBYE. Some of you may remember that one. Both CDs include everything heard from the stage that night, including all my talk about the songs, Daryl’s comments, and audience reaction, in addition to the music. It is the ONLY LIVE RECORDING we have ever done. I think you would really enjoy it, and the proceeds from the CD sales go to one of our favorite musical organizations here in northern Nevada, the Reno Chamber Orchestra. The RCO Benefit Concert two-CD set is available only through the Reno Chamber Orchestra. It is not available in stores. Please call Fifi or Scott at the RCO office at 775 348 9413 for details.
