Oh mannnn!!! I actually met him a few times and used to hang out with his brother.
First Super Dave, now Captain :(
2019 sucks so far!
RIP. Love will keep you together in our hearts, man.
Muskrat Love?

I remember him playing multiple keyboards at the same time.
It does seem like a passing of a generation has begun.
Loved their music in the 70s. He was a very talented arranger as well. Worked for Elton John, the Beach Boys, the Carpenters.
I’m ready for a time machine to take us back to 1976 or so...
Super Dave died ?
Anybody know why they got divorced - I mean the REAL reason (usually hard to know).
Sad news. R.I.P. “Captain”.
Sadly, the Captain passed away while waiting to perform at the never ending Aretha Franklin memorial.
Yes. Also 76.
I liked them pretty well. She was from Montgomery, AL. Don’t know about him.
Wow Captain, Dr. Hook and Super Dave Osborne. No one gets out.
And Mean Gene Okerlund.
I’ve read that he was hard on Tenille.
Don’t know, but the article said they were married 39 years and remained friends. After 39 years you would think they would just stick it out. But that kind of longevity is to be congratulated.
So, love didn’t keep them together??
A touch of irony; Toni Tennille divorced her husband of 39 years in 2014, as his health declined, then dished the dirt on him for a national TV audience, as part of her tell-all autobiography. Hey, anything to sell a few more books: https://www.today.com/popculture/toni-tennille-reveals-personal-reason-why-she-divorced-daryl-dragon-t85916
But at the time of her passing, Toni was there at the bedside and made sure she had a statement for the press. Think I’m beginning to see why he had “intimacy” issues with her. Daryl Dragon was reportedly working on his own book at the time of his death. Too bad he didn’t get a chance to finish it.
