Karen Carpenter vs. Toni Tennille.

I've been asking my fellow students what they think of Karen Carpenter vs. Toni Tennille. Not a single Karen Carpenter fan has turned up, though some people know people who like her voice, and one person I talked to's ex-boyfriend had the album of Carpenters covers and played it incessantly. But, everyone really likes the song "Love Will Keep Us Together", a lot. It's a shame Toni Tennille doesn't get more credit as a performer and artist.

The Carpenters are considered very, very uncool--and most people don't know about the 90's cool-band revisionism. So they are just very uncool to most people. Besides, whats not to like about "Love Will Keep Us Together." Play your friends C&T's only other #1 hit, "Do That To Me One More Time," and see how much they like Toni Tennille then.
