Toni Tennille Then: I still think Toni’s performance of this Carol Bayer-Sager/Melissa Manchester’s classic “Come in from the Rain” is the best version ever. No doubt those two (Carol and Melissa) could write and sing. But this performance filmed for The Captain and Tennille Variety show where Toni sings her heart out is not to be forgotten and if you like it as much as I do–you will watch it a few times just to see her sing this song again!

Now: Toni singing the heck out of the fabulous Harold Arlen/Ira Gershwin blues-standard “The Man That Got Away” live on the Larry King Show. You will truly experience what a fabulous ‘torch singer’ Toni is in this version. This song was originally sung by Judy Garland in 1954 for the Movie “A Star is Born” and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1955. Paying tribute to what a great singer Toni is and the late great singer Judy Garland! In 2004 the song from the original movie in 1954 was honored by the American Film Institute and selected as one of the greatest songs in American cinema history.
