Captain and Tennille were known for their love ballads, never straying from the slow, peaceful story of two in love. In comparison, Richard and Karen Carpenter sang similar sounding music for those unfamiliar with the band. Tennille, at the time, was creating music for the musical Mother Earth which tackled environmental issues caused by large corporations.
