Toni Tennille - All Of Me (1987)

posted by all-musicrecords

Cathryn Antoinette "Toni" Tennille (born May 8, 1940) is an American singer-songwriter and keyboardist. A contralto, she is best known as one-half of the 1970s duo Captain & Tennille with her former husband Daryl Dragon; their signature song is "Love Will Keep Us Together". 
Tennille also did musical work independently of Dragon, including solo albums and session work. 

Before you even open "All Of Me", Toni Tennille's sophomore solo set, you'll be dazzled by the cover art--especially if you are fortunate enough to nab it in LP form. 
Tennille never looked sexier, more gorgeous, or more "come-hither-y" than she does here (don't miss the back cover of Toni in leather and stiletto heels). And what's behind that cover does not disappoint.
"All Of Me" is essentially "More Thank You Know, Book 2". It blasts out of the chute like a bucking bronco with her rendition of "How High The Moon", Andrews Sisters-style, and never looks back. 
The only thing I didn't love about this album was "Dream". I know--this version is much more true to the original in tempo and styling than C&T's version on their album of the same name... but wasn't that a luscious way to end that album? Truth be told, "All Of Me" would have garnered 5 stars had its predecessor not been as amazing as it was. A definite "must" for Tennille-philes!
