He and Bob Keeshan and Fred Rogers were all in the same platoon in the Khe San. Rogers saved all three of them when their position was overrun.

This really made me sad. Really, really sad. They had been married for what almost 40 years? And were together for quite a while before that. Damn sad.

I still have their album "Song of Joy" on vinyl that I bought in 1976.

*goes back to rocking chair*

"I never wanted, I never wanted to divorce a man, the way that I want to divorce you"

I really do not believe they are splitting up. It is most likely a financial ploy they have been forced to take. I would hate to think she would leave him knowing he is ill after 40 years.

The Captain has died with Tennille by his side...he was 76.

This song was not their signature but I always liked it, had a very disco vibe.

Daryl Dragon, "The Captain" of singing duo Captain and Tennille, died early Wednesday morning ... and love really did keep them together to the very end.
Daryl's publicist says the musician died of renal failure in Arizona, and was in hospice care at the time.
Daryl and Toni Tennille were famous for cranking out huge hits in the '70s, including "Do That to Me One More Time," "Muskrat Love" and "Love Will Keep Us Together." The duo was actually a couple -- they married in 1975. They landed their own TV variety show the next year.

Although they divorced in 2014, they remained friends ... and Toni was by his side when he died. As TMZ first reported ... their divorce docs made specific mention about their health insurance coverage. In 2009, she said Daryl was suffering from Parkinson's Disease. Daryl was blindsided by Toni's filing ... and told us they were still living together at the time.
In a statement, Toni says Daryl "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."
Daryl was 76.
