Another Grim Day in Music History.....

It must be something about November. Recent posts have noted #1 songs from the 70's debutting on the charts this month. 11/10/79 brings us 2 more: "Do that To Me One More Time" by The Captain & Tennille, and "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes. At least Rupert Holmes didn't end up with a TV show...

C & T had a TV show? Glad I missed that!

From VH1.com:
"In September 1976, The Captain & Tennille, a weekly hourlong musical variety series, debuted on the ABC television network, which apparently viewed them incorrectly as an answer to CBS' Sonny & Cher. The show proved to be Captain & Tennille's first false step, failing to earn high ratings and, in Dragon's judgment, overexposing the duo and thus hurting their record sales. Although ABC was willing to extend the series, the couple demurred, and the show went off the air after only one season in March 1977. "

Only 1 season, but I'm still scarred.
