Goodbye Captain, Tennille misses you

 If you were ever born in the 70's, you would have known the duo called "Captain and Tennille"

  First off, that's not his name. His real name was Daryl Dragon. Her real name was Toni Tennille.

They were married but separated, she stayed by his side as the Captain passed away in 2019 from renal failure.
They were known for their hit songs such as "Love will keep us together", "Lonely night (Angel Face)", "Muskrat Love"

  Not many people knew they were a couple until their divorce.

He was always known for playing the piano as she would sing hit, after hit, after hit.

"Love will keep us together" was their number one. I hear it all the time in tv shows like "Starsky and Hutch" and many other TV shows.
It seemed they were a hit duo such as Sonny and Cher, and like Sonny and Cher, they divorced and Sonny died. Ironic but, it seems their lover (Captain and Tennille's) was strong till the end. She stayed at his bedside by the time he died.

 

Through thick and thin, most of their hits were number #2 like Love will keep us together, and muskrat Love.

   Not many people were aware, until his full name was revealed, that his name wasn't the Captain, but Daryl Dragon. For me, I never knew until like all of those people, later in his life.


  Like him, another famous celebrity died in early January at the same age he did, Bob Einstein.

Or as I like to call him Marty Funkhouser from the hit show "Curb your Enthusiasm" He was also known as super Dave Osborne. And like the Captain, he died at the age of 76 from Cancer.


We'll miss both of them. They gave us great music and laughter. And they will be remembered for such great songs as well as Bob giving us the "Dave Osborne and Marty Funkhouser"

 God rest your souls
