    Aw, the great Ella Fitzgerald turned 61 in 1978 and still sounded great here with the wonderful Toni Tennille. Ella retained her beautiful and strong voice right up to the age of 70, or so - after this, she STILL sounded pretty good. An amazing lady! Cheers and thanks for the great post!

    I sang backup for Toni in the casinos in the 70s. I lived in Reno NV. Daryl and Toni lived in Washoe valley. I went to UNR and sat between them as they wrote the backup for me. My sister-in-law was their vet tech for their pugs.

      @@scottmcneely1927 You never saw Toni in one of her live concerts. That might have changed your opinion about her. One snippet from You Tube doesn't allow her to show of what she is capable.

    The Captain and Tennille was a great combination. But when Tennille went solo, she blew me away. One of the most underrated singers in the business! Great selection of music. "If I Should Lose you," one of many. Oh, yes, "Here's That Rainy Day." Can't get any better.

    • @artistphx
      @artistphx 9 лет назад +3

      Jay Young I agree with you completely. The only thing is that as a single person she has no presence if she does anything but sing. It 's sad to see her try to carry a conversation with the audience. Love her music just the same! It would take some talent to carry your own with Ella Fitzgerald if only for a few minutes! I'd like to see her sing with Cleo Laine!

    • @ccaammiinniiito2
      @ccaammiinniiito2 9 лет назад +2

      artistphx And speaking of Laine, how is she doing these days and where? And isn't her husband/close music associate in heaven? Bring me up to speed! P.S. What's your attitude on Leslie Uggams, one of the greats of yore?

    • @artistphx
      @artistphx 9 лет назад +2

      Dame Cleo still performs some, I believe. Mr. Dankworth died awhile back. Sad, they were a nice couple.

    • @ccaammiinniiito2

      I liked Tennille's voice generally, but often found that she came in a bit under pitch in her performances. But, I really feel like she upped her game with Ella as her duet partner. Would have been great to hear her record more material like this over the years. Considering how talented she was, her recording output was pretty slim, sadly.

    Two QUEENS performing together, and I watched this back in the day. I've ALWAYS had a special appreciation for Toni's voice.If I'd been born a man I would have done ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to sweep her off her feet and give her the undying love and devotion she deserved. And you know there were men that tried to gain her attention, but she remained steadily devoted to Daryl. The heart wants what the heart wants.
