Though their popularity hit its peak during the mid ‘70s and early ‘80s, Captain & Tennille continued to perform all over the world throughout the ‘90s and ‘00s, and in 2005, they released Songs of Joy: The Complete Captain & Tennille Collection.

In the latest issue of Closer Weekly currently on newsstands, Tennille revealed that after their 2014 divorce, she left their Prescott home to live in Florida, where she spent two years writing her memoir. However, Tennille couldn’t stop thinking about Dragon. "Captain" Daryl Dragon died at age 76. The late singer is pictured here ...
Love – Beach Boys co-founder with his cousins Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson – gave Dragon the nickname "Captain" after the musician started playing keyboard for the band in 1967 and showed his affinity for wearing a captain's hat onstage.
When Dragon, the cap-wearing 'Captain' of the Captain and Tennille duo, passed away earlier this month at age 76 Tennille was by his side. In a new interview Tennille talks about their final moments together and reveals the last words she said to her longtime love. Toni Tennille will always have a special place in her heart for Daryl Dragon.
Toni Tennille will always have a special place in her heart for Daryl Dragon. When Dragon, the cap-wearing “Captain” of the Captain and Tennille duo, passed away earlier this month at age 76 of renal failure at a hospice in Prescott, Ariz., Tennille, his longtime musical partner and ex-wife, was by his side.
According to the magazine, once she returned to Prescott, Tennille fired home health aides whom she said kept him drugged at night. Tennille also found Dragon a new place to live that offered better care and visited him regularly.
But there was no bad blood between the former couple. In fact, Dragon even gave the book his blessing. Tennille told Closer Weekly that Dragon was also aware of the “Today” appearance. “…. He said, ‘I thought you were great — I’m very proud of you,’” she said.
After the singers’ 39-year marriage recently collapsed, the Internet lit up with claims that 73-year-old Toni Tennille dumped her ailing 71-year-old husband “Captain” Daryl Dragon because she’s been seeing another woman. One blogger insisted that the songbird “is gay and has had a girlfriend for years.”. Another online celebrity watcher, who said ...
The two later moved into a smaller place because, with Daryl’s health problems, “it became too difficult for them to take care of a bigger house ,” said a source. Up until now, there had been no indication Toni was hiding an alternative lifestyle.
As The ENQUIRER previously reported, Daryl suffers tremors caused by a neurological condition similar to Parkinson’s disease. The entertainers – best known for their hits “Do That to Me One More Time,” “Muskrat Love” and the classic “Love Will Keep Us Together” – tied the knot in 1975, the same year they released their first album.
Another online celebrity watcher, who said her information came from a friend of the performers’ family, added that Toni is happy with her lover and “no longer found Daryl useful, ever since his illnesses caused him to cease playing keyboard or performing music.”.
The ENQUIRER attempted to speak with Toni – who is still living with Daryl – and to the lady that bloggers identified as Toni’s “ other woman,” but both refused to comment. However, Daryl – who is bedridden from the nerve disease and recovering from recent neck surgery – told The ENQUIRER he is devastated over the split.
She had moved on. Toni Tenille divorced her husband, Captain & Tennille bandmate Daryl Dragon, in 2014 and left their Prescott, Arizona home to live in Florida, where she spent two years writing her memoir.
Toni fulfilled Daryl’s final wishes — to have his ashes scattered around Granite Mountain in Prescott. “He was a brilliant man,” Toni concluded, “and I loved him with all my heart.”.
Toni couldn’t repair the damage from Daryl’s past, but when she returned to Prescott, she did what she could for his future. This included firing home health aides whom she said kept him drugged at night, finding him a new place to live with better care and visiting regularly. Getty Images.
