Sunday Music: Love Will Keep Us Together
Toni and the Captain proving with their #1 single, in 1975, that Sedaka was back. Oh, and it didn't keep them together; they eventually parted company after 39 years of marriage. But they lasted longer than most, especially in show business. If I hear this, I'm back in 1975 again. There are worse places to be.
I read someplace that the only reason they split was because the medical bill necessitated it. She was still caring for him in the end, even though officially they had divorced.
Neil Sedaka wrote this, BTW... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is right around the time I started remembering popular songs. Happy 8-Track Memories.
ReplyDeleteI heard this song today, at the fish market in Seattle's Fisherman's Terminal... :)

@Mordineus,
ReplyDeleteThat wouldn't surprise me a bit, and it explains much.
Ah, yes, 1975. The year I married the current wife. Fond memories of it I have.
ReplyDeleteAlways did think Toni Tenille was pretty hot. The Captain, on the other hand, looked to me like a mental defective.
But did you rollerskating to it as a "tween"? 😃
ReplyDeleteA classic, perfectly performed.
