If you were growing up in the 70s, there is no way you could miss this song.
It was played on the radio alot! I remember it well👍✌️
Yes , summer of 75 it was everywhere. Another great Sedaka written tune!
@@bigb6046 Absolutely!👍✌️
Or born in mid 70’s…I grew up loving this as a little bitty kid ..
My middle school crush. She was so cute. Fun song. Yeah, top 40 radio everyday back then.
The fact that you guys get the message and the vibe of the song proves that it is not COMPLETELY lost on your generation... there's gotta be more kids like you out there that feel this way. (Yes, I said kids... I'm 56 and to me you're a couple of great kids). By the way, the couple in the crowd shot at the end of the video was Donny and Marie (Osmond). They had their own wholesome show back then, too.
Same age as you and yes there is help for this generation because I see more and more on here learning and liking and saying wish they grew up in our generations way of life, Waylon Jennings song Lukenbah Texas is always a good song for newbies to see how our generation was, quote: it's time to get back to the basics of love, really teaches and sends a really strong message, life was once just so full of fun, love, simple, slow paced life that connected people not separate them
okay little brother, and sister Judy, I'm 66 lol. the biggest that separates everyone in all aspects is the damned media. these songs were almost all on one station, with some country crossovers. But the 1970's is when stations started separating themselves more and more musically, by categorization and targeting audiences by their purchasing power and often consequently by their race or subculture. Divide and conquer for profit.
I basically feel the way you do. Yes that was a Donny & Marie Osmond. But wasn't that Olivia Newton-John standing up at the microphone, like a host and/or award presenter?
@@truthguide1742 yes, that was Olivia at the end.
Ironically, they got divorced in the end. Joy Division made an answer song to this in the late 1970s called "Love Will Tear Us Apart" that's also worth reacting to.)
Brad: "What a time to be alive!" It certainly was. ☺
I worked at a hotel gift shop in Yosemite National Park during the summer while going to college back in the 80s. One day this really familiar looking woman came up to the register with some snacks. It dawned on me who she was. She was just a nice, friendly customer. As she left the shop I saw The Captain walk out with her and he was wearing that captain's hat. It apparently wasn't a stage prop - he really did wear it in real life.
You ain't lying Brad. This is pure 70's happiness music.
I saw an interview with the actor/director, Spike Lee, and he said the last time a child could be a child was back in the 70's. I agree with him 💯. There was also a commercial they use to play at night that said: It's 10:00 do you know where your children are?
As an older guy who remembers this song as a kid, hearing you two give such positive commentary in reaction to this song really lifts the spirit!
This song pretty much works on anyone born in the 70s. We were all babies singing this. It was a constant. They must have been on every variety show for the whole decade. 🤗
You got that right, 1973 January 1st, Baby here, but as turning 50 , this song works on the 70s baby's, first 7 yrs , even 1979-80, and 81, plus. On most radio stations, Lex you right, most relationships are what I call Windshield Wipers Relationships, with drama wash, throw away.😆
They had their own show for a little while too.
@@91GT347 I knew they were on all the time. Maybe that was why. I was little so I don't remember specifics. 🤗
@@antoinettelopes Same here. I was 4-5. Just remember watching it with my parents. That, Sonny and Cher etc. lol
Speaking of variety shows. Donny and Marie were in the audience.
Brad: What a time to be alive. You nailed it bro.
Yes it really was a fun time to be a kid back then 🤔
I feel the same way as I was half way through college when this came out and primarily in to rock ‘n roll, southern rock and blues back then, but this song was totally acceptable and a great time to be alive! (No cell phones)
Rofl 🤣
@@frankrizzo4460 I was born in 1963 and went to play football with my friends after school - my mom never worried she knew I would be home in time for dinner. Gosh I miss those days.
In the last line Toni Tennille sings "Sedaka is back." its a reference to Neil Sedaka a singer / song writer that made a comeback at the time. he has dozens of songs as well. Neil Sedaka was very popular as well. his song "Breaking up is hard to do", "Oh Carol", and "Bad Blood" where some of his more famous songs of the era.
omg, I never actually heard her singing that until I read this. Thanks!
They need to listen to some Neil Sedaka!
Neil wrote "Love Will Keep Us Together", and included it on his 1974 comeback album "Sedaka's Back." Toni's shout-out was to him for writing the song and having a great comeback album.
They should listen to "Laughter In The Rain." The verses have a beautiful melody.
It’s because he wrote THIS song. And he made a huge comeback that year with that and at least five other hit songs and/or collaborations.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the 70’s!!!
My mother wore this song out!
So did the radio! Lol, it was played a lot!👍✌️
*THANK YOU FOR THE IMAGE OF MY MOTHER DANCING AROUND THE KITCHEN IN HER DRAWS, I APPRECIATE THAT!!!!!!* It took me years to block that out LOL
It's hard to believe these days that people actually wrote and performed positive songs like this. This is what the world needs today but unfortunately I don't see the world accepting it anymore, it really is sad. Does my heart good that both of you got it and loved it, it gives me at least a little hope.
Peace
I agree! I read somewhere if THE BEATLES had released the song "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE" today, it would be a flop. How sad
It's circling back around,; thanks to this awesome sweet generation 💞
if you grew up in the 70s you could not escape this duo - they were all over radio and I think they even had their own 1-hour variety show on Network TV. Huge hits in the 70s. Disposable, but fun.
Toni Tenille was so cute! “Do That To Me One More Time,” and that critter hit “Muskrat Love.” There were others, but those are the ones I remember. 70’s bubblegum!
"You never done it like that" was on the radio quite a bit, also their version of "Shop Around" was pretty good.
The decline of Western civilization can most definitely be understood through music. I was like 7 when this came out. Such a happy time, overall. People had their problems, but most understood that marriage was a lifetime commitment. The ones worked through the struggles got to experience the TRUE bonus of marriage. The one that comes when you need each other the most, in the later years. I wish this bonus for you both. 💖
Your mom definitely knows this song Lex!! A big song from these great performers! RIP Daryl Dragon!
I absolutely love Captain & Tennille. They bring back so many happy memories from when I was a kid and their songs were playing either on radio or the TV. They're both super talented keyboardists and singers, so glad you gave them a listen :)
They were. The Captain passed away a few years ago.
@@willhorting5317 sadly, yes, but the memories will live on.
@@playbassken yes
Another great hit from my teens - 1975. I was 14. Thank you Brad & Lex for bringing the classic songs back to me. x
As a young man just entered puberty. I had a crush on Tennille so bad….. her voice and happy go lucky way about her…… thanks for this one you took an old man a long way back
Her huge dentures are hot!
Agreed
I never liked her, I'm always skeptical of people that are overly smiley.
My first high school dance partner, I was 15 in 1975, was a gal Angel RIP she had that Toni Tennille hairdo. Red haired girl 🙏
Sung by the married couple Captain & Tennille, "Love Will Keep Us Together" is an affirmation that they will always be together, no matter what sweet-talking girl comes along. But to the writers, it had a different meaning.
Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield wrote the song in 1973 during their last songwriting session together. They had been working together since their high school days, and in the late '50s and early '60s were one of the most formidable songwriting teams in New York, with huge hits for Connie Francis and for Sedaka as a solo artist. Greenfield was moving to California, so to them, the song was about their close personal and professional relationship. "We both cried after we wrote it," Sedaka said.
Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille kept together for nearly 40 years. Both came from musical families and had some success before they teamed up, both professionally and romantically. They did very well as a team, but in 2014 this item was posted on their website, explaining that Toni had met with a divorce attorney:
The Captain & Tennille appeared to the public as them being the ideal model for a "rock-solid" married pair. But almost all people naturally evolve over time, & sometimes hidden feelings start to be uncovered when one may read, just a little more into (the popularized, substitute heading appearing just below), stating, for instance: "Music Has Kept Them Together."
(Songfacts.com)
You're right, Brad, it WAS a great time to be alive. I was 7 in 1970, and was 16 in 1979 when I left school. How I wish I could reverse back into there...
Was 19 in 1970, in a working band. No one would believe how great fun it was. Also, it was during the Vietnam War, with a draft lottery number, made life waiting to ship out a “let’s party because life could end soon” situation.
Toni Tennille and Daryl Dragon aka Captain & Tennille were husband and wife. it was the love story for the ages. how they loved each other. even tho they devorced in 2014. She was at his bedside when Daryl died in 2019.
They were big.. and interesting fact.. they did some back up singing on The Wall album by Pink Floyd.. (at least she did). Major , Major Hit.. written by a great songwriter & performer, Neil Sedaka.. Loved Lex's reaction as always..
I also read where they were back up singers for The Beach Boys.
@@jimpierce3138 Toni Tenille was a backup singer for The Beach Boys. Daryl Dragon (The Captain) played keyboards and wrote some songs for The Beach Boys.
Another good song from my childhood. They actually had a TV show for a short time in the mid 70s
I was about 10 years old the summer this song came out-- it seemed like it was playing on every station at least twice an hour. So much fun.
Brad & Lex, this was song of the year in 1975, and marked a songwriting comeback for Neil Sedaka. (they say Sedaka is back toward the end).
You’ll like their "Shop Around", "The Way I Want to Touch You" and "Muskrat Love"!
Did you notice they were each playing two keyboards? talented.
edit- Try Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do", "Laughter In The Rain", "Calendar Girl" and "Bad Blood" !!
I thought she said: "Sedaka is dead".
Yup, so many great songs. And a TV show too!!
What a blessing to hear this song and see/hear your reactions to it. Did my heart good. I didn't know it at the time, but it really was a good time to be alive. Many thanks to you both for reacting to this one!
As mentioned below, song was written by Neil Sedaka; not sure whether you've reacted to him in the past, but he had several hits in the late 1950s and early1960s. He enjoyed a resurgence in the 1970's and had a great song, in my opinion, on the serious side, "The Hungry Years," from the album of the same name, in 1975.
Some people said that he wrote that song about Sonny & Cher's early struggles.
Toni Tennille had one of the best voice in modern music.
This song was HUGE... REALLY...REALLY HUGE🎶🎵🎶🎶
was wondering when you would get around to listening to this 70's classic! nice! it was on the radio all the time!
Lex. You are remembering a different song. James Taylor. ' How Sweet It Is ( To Be Loved by You) 1975 is the " I just wanna stop, and thank you baby" same era 1970s. There is also a 1964 Motown version by Marvin Gaye. I wonder which version Couch GMama listened to? Maybe both. Happy New Year to you both!
You seem like a lovely couple. I hope love keeps YOU together.
My wife and I just celebrated our fiftieth anniversary last year, and I can say, and I know my wife agrees, it’s worth the struggle to keep together through the hard times.
OMG The 70's. Glad I was a teen in the 80's.
This was a #1 song and the 2nd biggest hit of 1975 overall. It was also a "Record of the Year" Grammy winner. The Captain & Tennille became hugely popular for a while and several more hits and a TV show followed. Lex's memory of the lyric, "Stop, and thank you baby," does come from a '60s Motown song, Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved By You)," which was also a hit for James Taylor in the mid-'70s.
How can anyone not love this song?
The cameo couple at the end was Donny and Marie Osmond, who later had their own music show on tv.
And Olivia Neutron Bomb at the podium after D&M
This song was a cover song.
It was originally recorded by Neil Sedaka.
But the C & T version not only became a hit...it also garnered Captain & Tennille a Grammy Award in 1975.
The "Captain", Daryl Dragon, got his nickname from Beach Boys member Mike Love.
While playing keyboards in studio & on tour with the Beach Boys during the latter '60s/very early '70s, Love referred to Dragon as "the Captain of keyboards".
You NAILED the meaning and vibe of this song! Love you guys! ----Another 70's group you will love is Tony Orlando and Dawn!
I love this song! Everything about it is so happy.
Toni Tennille sang backup on two PINK FLOYD albums. She has a great voice.
I wore my hair like this as a kid and so many compliments it laid perfect and moved so easy. I loved it and cut it that way after I saw her and loved this song, so happy and upbeat and great love song, we grew up in a wholesome innocent time , it was s fun and we looked at everything like that , we looked at fantasy and love and hopes for the future and loved just being alive and it was all fun and happy.
Oh yes, I was singing this song to my boyfriend lol I was 16, and he was 17. Madly in love ❤️ 😢
Oh, the summertime memories with this song! The transistor radio, roller skates, and waiting for the ice cream truck… yeah!
I'm giving us a big thumbs-up, because the younger generation is finally starting to realize the value of old and great music
Great song written by Neil sedaka! During the outro, you hear the backing vocalists sing "sedaka is back". Around that period, 1974/5 there was a deliberate promo drive to re-establish Neil sedaka as a popular entertainer again just as he was pre Beatle mania in the early 60's.
Thanks for the reminder reminder of the great Neil Sedaka. Let’s suggest, “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”.
@@ed.z. Great choice. What about laughter in the rain?
@@keithroberts4952 dynamite! I got to watch him perform his hits, from 5 feet away from the him and the grand piano. What a kind, wonderful, joyful human being, he was a true treasure.
@@ed.z. Wow! Great memory!
Toni Tennille has a great voice. She and the Captain were great keyboardist as well. The Captain used to be the touring keyboard player for the BEACH BOYS. I believe that is where he got the nickname 'Captain'. May he R.I.P.
Two words....MUSCRAT LOVE! This must be your follow up song. I remember my Mom singing and dancing in the kitchen.
SO much fun!! I LOVE this reaction!! I also grew up listening to this song and just feeling I get from it makes me feel amazing!! Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face!
This song brings back great memories of my late mother singing along to it on the radio in the mid 70’s I was probably 12 years old but times were good then. We didn’t have much but we had what we needed
they were both members of the Beach Boys backing Band.... Toni was know as the only " Beach Girl" in the history of the Band and Daryl Dragon got his nick name Captain Keyboards from Beach Boy lead singer Mike Love, later dropped the Keyboards part... the Captain wrote songs with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson.
The Captain wrote tunes with the Beach Boys. Nice tune! Thanks.
Seems Joy Division's song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is definitely a play on the title of this Neil Sedaka tune.
I am privileged to have grown up with 70s and 80s music, fun simple times!
“Reach out remember with all your might” Van Halen (Love Comes Walking in) 1986! I graduated high school that year and I wanted to agree with your analysis regarding today’s “hits”. Don’t forget the past and what you’ve been blessed to see from times before you!!! It’s so important right now to remember what was real and true!
Wow, I won a stream. One of my fav songs all time, and no guitars, I mean, didja see how many keyboards they had. Also, dod you see the tall backup singer, sounds just like Tono because that's her sister. Also at the end of the video, the camera in the audience shows Donny Osmund. Capt and T had so many good songs!!
What I can't type an i today!!
lol...Brad always looks confused and Lex always has that smile of total comprehension, ready to riff on what she's hearing and two steps ahead of anyone else in the room
Her haircut makes me think of Bonnie Franklin in the old sitcom One Day at a Time.
takes me right to 1975, big hit for the Captain of keyboards (Daryl Dragon) and his wife (Toni Tennille)
FYI the background singers are Toni's sisters; RIP Captain.
Great memories, awesome era for music , great time to be alive!🤘😎🤘
I remember when they had their show. Mom made us watch it....her TV.
This song was HUGE the year it came out. That's all you heard on the radio. They had their own variety show too! Every girl wanted the Toni Tennille haircut!
You mean the Kristy McNichol haircut 💇 ✂
Toni's smile could light up the universe!
Listened to this record constantly as a young kid- loved it and played it over and over. 🙂👍💥
In the fade outs, you hear Toni sing “Sedaka is back” a tribute to the song writer Neil Sedaka ( a prolific song writer who had a few hits of his own). Captain and Tennille had a number of fun hits, you may want to check out a surprisingly sensual “do that to me one more time” versus their bouncier stuff.
Toni Tennile got her break as a background singer on Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon. This came off the back of that
The 70s were a great time to be around. This video is from the tv show. There were many shows like Sonny and Cher, Capt and Tennille, John Denver, Don Kirshner's Rock show and many others.
This song was on the radio like every hour of every day for a while.
Toni Tennille has an amazing singing voice. RIP Daryl Dragon aka. The Captain.
Oh wow. Haven't heard this in forever. It was a monster hit.
her husband is the piano and keyboard player in the song and her sister is one of the backup singers, the lead singer also plays the drums on this song
And, alas, love didn't keep them together.
@@Yowza78 yeah, he recently passed away
they were not married at the that time. they did later on in life but sadly they also divorced. she did remain friends with Captain til he died a few years ago.
Husband and wife group and Daryl the dragon Wilson is one of the beach boys. This is actually a Neil Sedaka song, but the Captain and Tennille made it a major hit checkout Neil's song breaking up is hard to do, he has two different versions of his song the first is kind of the 50's vibe and later he re-did it into this kind of Speakeasy bar vibe his piano playing is kind of jazzy. But the slow down pace and his vocals reminded me of the crooners of days past.
4:52 it was a different time. I remember watching the Captain and Tennille show on TV as a child and watching this exact song.
I was in 8th grade when this song hit the airwaves. I've loved it ever since. Never ever get tired of it.
As a teenage male in the 70's, Tennelle was a crush of mine. They had their own show on TV, She was a beautiful woman. Madly in love.
Check out Muskrat Love, awesome.
This song was HUGE in 1975!
I had it on a 45....I and my friends loved listening to it....and we thought Toni Tennille was really cute and The Captain was a great keyboard player and a super cool guy.
Unfortunately, we find out in much later years that their marriage was really mostly just one of convenience....without the high level of sincere romantic love that is suggested in the song.
However, there WAS love there...as they remained close friends, apparently, through “Captain” Daryl Dragon eventually developing Parkinson's Disease and dying in 2019.
RIP, Captain......you left an impact on this world!
Oh, and this song was written and originally recorded by great pop song writer Neal Sedaka. who didn't find much success with it, himself....but when he gave it to The Captain and Tennille, it took off....and you can hear their tribute to him in the end when they sing "Sedaka is back."
I was very young as in a baby when Star Wars came out in the theaters, only now I appreciate songs like this.
This is one of my favourite songs. i remember as a toddler listening to it in my cot.
i was only a kid, but this must be on 50% of peoples' guilty pleasures lists 😁
One of the best pop songs of the 70s, hands-down!
Thank you for reacting to this one, Brad and Lex. There are some really nice memories there. :)
In case you didn't catch it, in the last lyrics Toni sings "Sedaka's Back". Old Neil Sedaka wrote that song for them. They were great friends. Neil is still singing at almost 90 years old.
Total guilty pleasure song. It never fails to make me happy.
"Captian" is Daryl Dragon. At one point, he played keys for Frank Zappa. Frank only hired the best.
this song is a expression of joy
Great song! Thanks for the great reaction!
Please let me go back lol born in 1970…..A kid in the 70’s a teen in the 80’s and in my 20’s in the 90’s love to be on that loop again…
Written by Neil Sedaka who is a great Singer/Songwriter worth looking into!
This song is equivalent for Valentines Day as Monster Mash is for Halloween.
Written by Neil Sedaka - a 60s decade hitmaking machine in his own right (and given a call out toward the end of the song - "Sedaka is baaaaack"). Sedaka and my mother attended the same high school together although, being a large NYC school, I'm pretty certain they never actually met.
This is a total 70's Mom drinkin' TAB, smoking Virginia Slims, watching Dinah Shore while wearing gigantic plastic round sunglasses song...and it's pure greatness.
When this song came out this song was played EVERYWHERE. In taxis, weddings, boomboxes in the street, at the beach, in indoor roller rinks, and the radio would play this song a thousand times a day. But, nobody got tired of this song. To this day it's still got people hooked on the vibe of it. She and her husband playing piano too on this video composed this song. It made them millionaires.
They had a variety show with same name with “The Bionic Watermelon”. As a child I loved it. Lol
... this was the #1 single of 1975 according to Billboard magazine!!!
This is a cover song, written and recorded in 1973 by Neil Sedaka but Captain & Tennile made a hit out of it in 1975. Notice at the end of the song the background singers said, "Sedaka is back". By the way, they got divorced in 2014.
It's great you guys get and appreciate this music. People think that young people want new, modern, revelant music. That "old" music isn't cool, hip, trendy. But what people need to understand is that even people who grew up with this music is old to them. But if young people never heard or learned about it before it's new to them. I saw this time and time again in Youth Ministry/ High School Confirmation/Life Teen. Especially in the Life Teen Choir at weekly Mass. The Choir Director was not afraid of introducing older Hymns, and secular music when appriorate The choir members and the Mass attendees loved and embraced the older music.
Brad & Lex by your channel you are helping to change a younger generation. By spreading good quality music & singers.
Classic
OMG I thought they were Black too!!! and also thought the performance was so joyous to watch - great reaction, great song.
And thanks to Neil Sedaka! Listen close near the end for "Sedaka's back!"
This review gives me chills like crazy. I was a teenager in the 70's when this song came out. The parents took us on a cross-country road trip from VA to CA in a truck and camper. This song was on my "play list" cassette as we traveled across the country. I loved it so much and the memories are so sweet. Thanks for covering this song!
