Someone compiled a cue sheet in a '70s edition of "American Top 40" using a manual typewriter, as the syndicate-provided cue sheet was missing. Instead of The Captain & Tennille, the typist identified the duo as The Captain & Tinio. I was amused, at first, but then, I started thinking. It was surprising there weren't more such typos in the list, considering the typist on that day in the mid '70s didn't have Internet access and probably didn't have easy access to a pop music reference book. The list could also have been typed on a tight deadline before any record stores were open to confirm the correct spelling. Furthermore, about two decades later, a co-worker and I referred incorrectly to "Brolidar and Big Jim Nahgahro" in a song we'd heard. Most likely, the list was intended for in-house reference only.
While The Captain & Tinio was incorrect, it was a somewhat understandable error, under the circumstances.
