Other notable guests were Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and Prime Minister James Callaghan.

Tennille described the high-profile front row person by person.

“Prince Philip, he’s kind of tapping his foot, smiling.

Queen Elizabeth II smiling

“Because I think she had jet lag, I think she was, bless her heart.

But she wasn’t frowning or anything.”

I’ll never forget Henry because as I sang this song … here was Henry.”

Queen Elizabeth II, President Gerald Ford, First Lady Betty Ford, and Prince Philip

“Mrs. Ford would say, ‘Gerry, you remember Toni and Daryl!

They performed at the White House.’

And the president said, ‘Yes, you did the song about the mice.’
