Captain & Tennille in New Orleans on AllMovie

Most famous for their blockbuster hit singles "Love Will Keep Us Together" and "Do That to Me One More Time," the soft rock team of Captain and Tennille (husband and wife Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille) peaked in popularity from 1975 through 1976; they performed for the likes of Gerald Ford, swept up a massive fanbase and even landed an eponymous musical variety series on ABC from late September 1976 through mid-March 1977. Unfortunately, that program soon folded due to low ratings; subsequent years saw the pair mounting a series of follow-up network specials of varying content. The one-hour April 1978 special Captain & Tennille in New Orleans (which originally ran on ABC) finds the pop duo journeying to the Big Easy for a series of on-location musical numbers and comedy sketches. Guests include The Olympia Brass Band, Fats Domino, John Byner and Hal Linden.
