    Great singer..... great jazz singer ... probably one of the most under rated singers of our time.

    As a 15 year old I was a newbie in Sweet Charity in Laguna Beach when Toni was one of the leads. She was so fantastic and so real! She taught me how to put on stage makeup and she was so delightful. So glad she’s still wowing audiences!

    When we started “Harvey Brownstone Interviews”, I made a list of people I most wanted to interview. Toni Tennille was at the top of the list. I absolutely loved her voice, warm personality and optimism. Finally my dream came true, and it was definitely worth the wait. Toni is one of the most gracious, humble and down to earth people I’ve ever had the privilege of interviewing. If you read her book, which is an unforgettably powerful revelation of the ordeal she endured for 39 years in a marriage with an emotionally unavailable man, you’ll be even more amazed at her total lack of bitterness and regrets. I hope you enjoy this very special episode of our show.

      I didn’t know much what happened to her marriage I thought her marriage is kind of perfect especially when your beautiful song Love will keep us together 🎶🎶🎶♥️it’s overwhelming to hear it. Anyway she is not alone when comes to that marital problem! I support all women who have this kind of problem I include them in my prayers 🙏♥️

    I sang backup for them in Reno casinos. They lived in Washoe Valley and she was involved with our beloved Nevada Opera. My sister-in-law was her vet tech for the pugs. I remember sitting between Toni and Daryl while they wrote the backup for me on Come in From the Rain. I'll never forget the good old days of Nevada Opera. Thank you Toni!!

I am the unofficial Captain and Tennille Archives. Toni had always showed me great respect all through the years... I'm looking forward to Hello Dolly.

This energized the interview and made one more interested in the next response. It seems that many interviewers today want to get a “gotcha” interview that ends up demeaning the guest. It leaves the audience with a dissatisfied and empty feeling. So I think you did an excellent interview that left me yearning for more! Great job.

      . I don’t know when it happened, but somewhere over the years, something happened that made having NO TALENT whatsoever is now a must to get a recording contract. It’s disgusting that so many of “today’s” singers..not a musician…not an artist, not even a “singer” just a person who somehow managed to get famous for nothing. They don’t have a good voice. There are so many. But the first one that comes to mind is Kanye West. I’ve never heard any of his songs…he’s a rapper I think, so I wouldn’t have listened to him anyway. However, by accident, I was watching a top ten list and it was a list about people who had done a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody - live performances only.
      OMG - when they played Kanye’s version I was mortified. My first thought was how glad I was that Freddie had passed and would never have to hear it. It was the worst “singing voice” I have ever heard. I still think that he had committed a crime - Trying to destroy a classic. There really should be a law. No one needs to have PTSD from a traumatic experience of hearing Kanye “sing”

It wasn't really negative; Carole King's "It's Too Late Baby," was an AM Radio hit that I heard all summer at the beach. Same thing with Carly Simon and many others. Toni's voice was special and her ability to sing contemporary as well as standards makes her stand out as a very special talent. Once again, thank you Harvey.

    Wow, what a treat! I have been a huge fan since 1975 when I was 11 years old!! I live in East Texas but have traveled to Reno to see her perform with the symphony there at Christmas in 2007 and to Prescott numerous times in 2010 and 2012 to see her with the symphony there as well. I was blessed to get to see Toni And Daryl perform back in 1978 as well. Have every album, record or dvd they've ever done as well as all of Toni's solo stuff. I loved her book, so thankful she wrote it to help all of us die hard fans understand the divorce and what the relationship was really like. It only made me admire her more. Her voice is as smooth and wonderful as I've ever heard it! We bought tickets for 2 of the performances of Hello Dolly in November as well as the meet and greet and will be traveling once again from Texas to see it. I hope she knows just how much joy she has given people over her career and what an inspiration she continues to be. Wonderful interview again!!!! ❤👨‍✈💃🎹🎼🎶

The best of luck with Hello Dolly, and I hope this isn't "it". Toni, if you're reading these comments, is there any chance you might record again and put out another album? I think everyone listening to this interview, and hearing that you are performing in Dolly would love to hear you record "one more time" 🙂 You have brightened my life since first hearing your music in 1975, and you are still on rotation in my car and on my stereo at home.

    It has been a long time since I have heard Toni's music and I must say it was the key to opening up some wonderful locked up memories. Thank you for including her music in this heartfelt interview. I had forgotten the transformation in Toni's look from girl next door in Love Will Keep Us Together to sexy bombshell in Do It To Me One More Time. Great Interview!

    First music I ever asked for and received as a child was the "Love Will Keep Us Together" album (on 8-track) at about eight- have loved The Captain and Tennille and Toni ever since, and immediately adopted them as "my" favorite music act and loved all their hits growing up. "Love Will" remains as fresh during the 1,000 listen as it does during the first. Great to see Toni talking about her life and career with such enthusiam- bravo!

    Toni Tennille is one of the great voices of one of the best eras in American music. I feel blessed to have been able to meet her once early in her career when she and Darryl played my little hometown of Abilene, TX. I have followed her ever since. She is a true musician.

For all the goodwill she gave this world, may the angels take her on wings to heaven. I will indeed miss her. May she Rest In Peace. Once again, I thank you for this amazing interview, most sincerely.

The depth of your knowledge and research, the questions that spark entire conversations from your guests, reminds me of a now passed former Canadian interviewer who I admired - as did many others- Brian Linehan (right from my home town here). Your delivery may be different as it is your own, but your knowledge, respect and thought provoking questions are very much the same as Brian's- yet your own style. Back to binge watching and catching up on your many interviews. THank you so much!

    Really enjoyed this interview! Muskrat Love was a memorable song from my teen years and so sweetly sung by Ms. Tennille. She reminds me of Doris Day, who also sang to the person and not the crowd. Vocally Toni, Ella, and Doris all stood out on their own, the highest praise I can give them! Distinctive voices that are instantly recognizable!
    I respect how she was a friend to the end to her former husband I want to read her book now! I think that Daryl Dragon was great also , loved what he brought to their songs. It does pop my bubble finding out they were no longer married, much like it did when I found out as a teen that Sonny and Cher had solit up.
    I would love to attend her performance of Hello Dolly! Will there be a PBS or pay per view of that performance for those of us unable to attend in person? I respect her for giving back and helping pave the wave for up and coming entertainers!
