Daryl Dragon (Captain And Tennille) 1942-2019
Link
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Singer Daryl Dragon, best known as “The Captain” of 1970s pop duo Captain and Tennille, has died at the age of 76, his publicist said on Wednesday. Dragon died of renal failure in Arizona on Wednesday, publicist Harlan Boll said in a statement. Captain and Tennille were best known for 1970s hit songs “Love Will Keep Us Together” and “Do That to Me One More Time.” They also hosted their own television variety series from 1976–77. Toni Tennille, who married Dragon in 1975, was with him when he died. “He was a brilliant musician with many friends who loved him greatly. I was at my most creative in my life, when I was with him,” Tennille said in a statement. The couple divorced in 2014 but remained friends |

I guess that he was really sick from what I've been reading about.

Didn't Daryl Dragon work with The Beach Boys before The Captain And Tennille began?. Because I know Daryl had connections to The Beach Boys in their early years. I liked Captain And Tennille because they had such good songs and my favorite song is Love Will Keep Us Together because it's a fun song and there was even a Spanish language version released of it too. Captain And Tennille also had a song called Disney Girls too that is a real cute song

  Dragon's familiar image and stage name came from his time as a keyboard player with The Beach Boys from 1967 to 1972. Beach Boys lead singer Mike Love gave him the nickname "Captain Keyboard", and it stuck; Dragon began wearing a nautical captain's hat to go along with the name. As Captain in Captain & Tennille, Dragon was frequently silent and a man of very few words, playing a foil to his outgoing, vivacious wife, Toni Tennille. |
