Background edit
Keeping Our Love Warm was the last major album from the duo.
Of the nine tracks, Toni Tennille wrote five of the songs, one of which, a re-recorded version of "Gentle Stranger" (as Tennille had originally envisioned it), was originally featured on their 1975 debut album Love Will Keep Us Together.
The duo performed the title track in the 1980 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
