I have a soft spot for Captain & Tennille. Especially Tennille.

reply

Me too! I had a huge crush on Toni Tennille when this song came out. I was 11 years old.

👍

I did as well, at the ripe old age of nine!

A couple of tracks from the late 60s......


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-UQ0-8ktAM - this one was record of the year and song of the year in 1968



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C1BCAgu2I8 - this one was record of the year in 1969

I have posted Up, Up and Away on the "What are you listening to" thread a couple of times. It won 6 Grammys altogether, if you can believe it.

Check out this other 5th Dimension song that appeared on the TV series "It Takes a Thief," Marilyn McCoo is just outstanding

BTW, in this Baker's Dozen format you certainly could have posted one of those on the list (see rules in OP). This one is ripe for a Part II :)

reply

Ahh yes, The 5th Dimension - my parents music. I heard their stuff ad infinitum growing up.

"Up Up and Away" is a pretty good track. Still sounds ok today.

Yeah I watched the video, thanks. Marilyn McCoo did have a great voice.

Bakers Dozen format? Let me check what you mean.

Hahah, ok I read the rules. I'll pass on the game, but thank you anyway.
