“Love Will Keep Us Together” duo Captain & Tennille are divorcing after nearly four decades of marriage, People reports.

For the first time they are persistently in the same place, at the same time

I married you for better or worse, but not for lunch.

[VerySadAmerican]

And I never got to meet her. Just damn!

[VerySadAmerican]

Damn! Did he shrink or did she keep growing?

To see that 45 again, so familiar to me. Thanks for posting.

When he was younger he looked like the guy who played in AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Now he looks like Elliot Gould.

[Revolting cat!]

Evidently, informed sources in Beverly Hills inform us, the split is over professional differences. Captain is said to have been unhappy about being just a nameless, faceless ‘Captain’ unrecognized on the street and at Rodeo Drive boutiques, and proposed a change to the name of the duo, Daryl and Sapper, which Ms Tennille and her team of attorneys rejected.

I have co-pays at the VA because of our combined income. If we were divorced I wouldn’t have co-pays. Not gonna’ do, though.

I’m 76 and never heard of them, they couldn’t have been much.

Dale, you were probably still listening to Sinatra and Dino when this act was popular in the late seventies. They were a pop music act, which is why you probably never heard them.

Yeah, I've always thought he looked freaky. No irises, just black dots.

And I always wondered why she was Toni Tennille and not Toni Dragon. (When you're a kid you think about these things).

[KosmicKitty]

At that age, why bother?

[terycarl]

NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD DIVORCE HER......EVER.

“If that’s the case, doesn’t that make this that much worse? In sickness and in health, etc? Why abandon him now?”

I agree. I was just stating why the Captain couldn’t get out of the house. It is also possible to get a civil divorce without actually separating.

“And I always wondered why she was Toni Tennille and not Toni Dragon. (When you’re a kid you think about these things). “

I figured that out after one episode of Burns and Allen.

Between 65 and 95 percent of divorces are filed by women.

That does it! I’m putting tape on my web cam.

I liked her style of singing in her later years; less pop, more classic. Here’s “More Than You Know” (1984)

Captain never got his due. Only Toni Tennillee got credit for singing on Pink Floyd’s (and Toni Tennillee’s) The Wall album.

I quit music in 1945 when i played in the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic Orchestra and my mother let me quit taking music lessons.

Quit going to Sunday school and got into hot rods and drag racing and never looked back.
