"Muskrat Love", "Love Will Keep Us Together" , etc.I've heard Tony Tenille interviewed 2x over the ether -- she split with Daryl but said that he's the only guy she's really loved. Their songs from the 1970's were wonderful. Here's the interview on HufPo

Anyone who craps on C&T just need to watch this and tell me that they can do better at holding up lead vocals, piano and synth with poise and a smile.

Without straying too far OT- the same could be said for Richard and Karen Carpenter. Laff if you like, but give 1977's "Passages" a good listen .
I might not have admitted it to any of my friends at the time, but hey: Tall, good-looking gal, playing a Minimoog? Check, check, and check! And hell yes, those tunes were undeniably catchy.

P.S. Not for nuthin, but I remember watching that episode of Midnight Special the night it aired. (I'm old as hell.)

what can i say? I was a closet fan too.
🙂
catchy lyrics and i always appreciated the talents of keyboardists of that time period - playing multiple devices simultaneously AND singing AND NO computer to help you out or hide a lack of talent!
and toni always really looked like she enjoyed performing.
and yeah, i liked david gates and bread, too.

dare we call it a more innocent time - or just thanks to absence of the internet/ Twitter/Facebook, and the 24 hrs news cycle, we were blissfully uninformed of all the nasty $hit going on all around us ?
OK, yeah. Me too. 🙂
Really some of the best of 70's pop. And I had a crush on Toni.
The lyrics aren't much to write home about, but her singing was so good, so straight forward, no electronic or vocal gimmicks or affectations. Joy.

I thought to start the thread as a response to Mark Simone's two interviews on WOR-AM (you can get it on I-heart radio). After the first interview there were thousands of responses by guys who had a crush on Toni. When informed, she remarked "I'm now 76, and don't look like that...."
If we can turn this into yet again another nostalgic romp - another great voice and possibly crush material from the early mid 70s was Helen Reddy - mind you not quite the triple threat as were Toni or Karen
Ahh, the 70s, who wouldn't want weekly access to that hot tub time machine to relive them in controlled doses?😉

I like C&T but its sort of like a Vespa. They are a lot of fun but you don't want to been seen riding it.
My favourite recording of theirs, on my Jukebox Wall Box/adapter/iPod/ Vintage Hi-Fi system.
Just a few bars. But you'll recognise it.
This system might be unique as I've two wall boxes and another title card magazine, which I can swop over with either of those in present use. With a third iPod my selections choices are greater.

Does the "Rockola" take Euros anymore?
I can remember listening to that on one of those 400 mile road trips wifey and i used to take back in the 1970's
Mine takes the old large 10ps and 50ps.
But Rock-Olas and I guess other makes could be factory set for any currency.
Most common apart from US coinage was that for England, France, Belgium, Germany and Japan. But they would have pre-dated the Euro. But "coins are coins," so I guess it's possible to have a version of the coin mechanism that would accommodate them.
