Daryl Dragon, the hat-wearing musician familiar to 1970s music fans as half of the bestselling duo the Captain & Tennille, died Tuesday in Prescott, Arizona at age 76.
Dragon’s ex-wife, Toni Tennille, “was with him as he took his last breath,” said Harlon Boll, a spokesperson for the singer. In a statement, Tennille said, “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.”
Dragon died of renal failure, according to Boll.

Frankly about midway. The last few years have been bad for the people I grew up admiring their art.
Possibly some indications in this Inside Edition story from 2016:

It’s been long rumored that she prefers the ladies. Maybe no other man could measure up to ol’ Cappie.
I remember the synthesizer or whatever he was playing - on my quad-speaker system - I took the family rooms downstairs with the pool table as my bedroom. I can still remember one of their songs playing on the radio down there. Amazingly, still have a couple of my speakers from then - maybe all four - one pair was a shop project.
Never, ever use particle board to build speakers. Of course they resonate.... LOL
As a wife, I love Ephesians.
1976 was a pretty eclectic year in music. McCartney/Wings, Elton John, Seals/Crofts, Hall/Oates, Queen, Nazareth, Diana Ross, even Barry F’n Manilow...in the Top 100 for the year.
A pretty great time for music.

I read your linked article and I just don’t see the reason to be upset with her.
Through it all, we didn’t know how good it was I think.
Hamburger stands, it was about the last time SNL was funny in any form, PC virtually didn’t exist, music was good (mostly) and we still had the cars.
Shoot, I regularly turned on my radio and heard this:

And back then, gay men dressing up as women were rejected as mental cases by most of the public.
Super Dave - just saw that - oh MAN!!! Now that hurts...
Yeah, 39 years and she still expected him to change? Why didn’t she marry the man she wanted him to be, in the first place?
I don’t buy it. Women hide things. At some point, it will come out if the woman doesn’t want to pay the price of surrender to her husband (1 Peter 3:1-6), “AS UNTO THE LORD” (Eph 5:22). Can’t do it without the Lord - that is why there are so many divorces.
You’ll say, yes but the husband is supposed to love the wife. But again, it is “as Christ loved the Church”. Again can’t do it without the Lord.
But the problem today is mainly with rebellious women who have not been trained in a godly manner and want little to do with surrendering their lives to the man as their head. Tennille was his wife but had her own career - sooner or later disastrous to a marriage.
I read she was a lesbian.
Hard to tell the strong undercurrents of a relationship, especially a marriage relationship, from a furniture delivery by strangers.
Makes me wish for button failure and a big wind.
I disagree you can learn a heck of a lot about folks while in there home even for a short amount of time they are not on guard and on their own turf
Yeah, sounds like Olivia Newton-John will be next.
She, Toni Tenille, wow...real women.
“Super Dave’s” real life brother is Albert Brooks, also a comedic actor from another lifetime ago.
Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the behavior of the wives; while they behold your chaste behavior coupled with reverence. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.1 Peter 3:1-6.
As it also says in Ephesians, it is only possible by first surrendering all to the Lord, not in word, but in truth.
Have you or are you willing to pay that kind of price, unknown and unheard of in this current, lost generation? If so, God bless you - you have or will find a happiness that is also largely unknown and unheard of among women these days.
“Through it all, we didn’t know how good it was I think.”
We had NO idea how good it was. And we thought it would never end.
We had two hamburger joints in our town and the kids would spend Friday and Saturday nights cruising between the two. Cold beer, hot nights, hotter girls and souped up rides.
A Sheriff’s Deputy gave us access to a pasture he wasn’t using to hang out at. Built a fire, drank our beer, necked with the girls and listened to the music.
We were living the good life and didn’t even know it.
He said his greatest joke was his son, Albert Einstein (now Albert Brooks).
I think I know what he meant.
