This page has been added to greatly (and unencyclopedically) by Marine Jourdan. Here is just some of the information I removed:

This reference is being made here (as it is on the C & T Wiki page) just to demonstrate the wonderful impact that Toni and Daryl have had on fans. Marine resembles Toni and her singing voice is so much like Toni's (Toni heard Marine many years ago sing a few bars of two songs, exactly like her and dubbed Marine, "My Sing-A-Like" (due to training for hours a day for many years to C & T records) in a lot of instances, you can't even tell the difference if you were to be blind folded and listening. Although self taught, she gives so much credit to Toni and Daryl both for the influence in her music career and it was only Toni Tennille that taught her how to develop the rich smoky, torch tones, that Toni Tennille is famous for, that a devoted fan picked up from loving their music for so many years. Not only have the Captain & Tennille given great music, they have also influenced a generation and at least one fan owes her existence as a singer, all to Toni Tennille. So, Marine kids around and notes that she's the self-proclaimed fifth Tennille sister or alternatively, the only child that Daryl and Toni never had (free of labor pains, cravings and college tuition). It's entirely a coincidence that her first name is also part of the name of the place that C & T first met, if she opened up her own Memorial Theater, well that would be just totally NOT happening. Just a few mentions will be made of how this dynamic duo touched the hearts of many (this page is all about them, afterall), particularly, their #1 fan, to show that behind the music, Toni and Daryl have influenced more than just music fans, they did so as fine human beings. As for the genre of music that Toni performs in her solo career, she opened up a whole new world for fans, particularly Marine who performs tributes to them both from time to time, in the C & T format and Toni's solo work.

It still needs more work, as does, I imagine Captain & Tennille. BCorr|Брайен 13:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Odd Couple

Do you realize, if she'd kept her father's stage name, she could've been Toni Randall? Trekphiler 19:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Is there any reason to keep this article separate from Captain & Tennille which has the same content? --Wtshymanski 02:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children

They have no kids (adopted or otherwise) despite 31 years of a wonderful marriage. What's up with that statement? 1 in 10 couples don't/aren't able to have children. Some couples are very sad about their inability to have their own children and don't really want to adopt, but would love to have children.

I feel the statement is inappropriate and may even have an element of insensativity related to it.

I recommend it be removed for its complete lack of tact and lack of kindness towards the accomplishments of this couple. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.131.24.245 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Age contradiction

Deadoraliveinfo.com [1] also lists her b'year as 1940 and he's usually right on the money--Phyllis1753 (talk) 22:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

On the 8 May anniversary page, it states that Toni was born in 1943. Meanwhile, her article states that she was born in 1940. Which is correct, and can we fix the contradiction? --Paploo 12:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

1940 is correct. Toni explains it on her blog on the C n T website. She is a few years older than Daryl and the publicists or whoever were releasing 1943 at the time thought that an older woman in a marriage was not good for the image. Another error was their marriage date, they were not married on Valentines Day, that was another creation by publicity people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDivineDiva (talk • contribs) 20:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted

I've deleted this article per WP:BLP because it was completely unsourced. I also had an email from a party who is in contact with Tennille saying they no longer wanted the content on wikipedia (as they had contributed a lot to the article). Can we try and get the article back up to scratch, sourced and from regular editors? Ryan Postlethwaite 02:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
