NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — Daryl Dragon, the “Captain” of musical duo, “Captain and Tennille,” has died. He was 76.
Dragon, who penned countless hits along with his former wife and musical partner, Toni Tennille, died early Wednesday at a hospice in Prescott, Arizona.
Spokesman Harlan Boll said the musician died of renal failure.
His former wife and musical partner, Toni Tennille, was by his side. Love will keep us together.
The Captain and Tennille had a run of easy listening hits in the 1970s, notably the chart-topping “Love Will Keep Us Together.” source
Their other songs included “Muskrat Love,” ”Shop Around” and “Do That to Me One More Time.”
The couple separated in 2013 and divorced the following year.
But they remained close, according to Boll, and Tennille even moved to Arizona to help care for Dragon.
A classically trained pianist, Dragon performed at times with the Beach Boys before meeting Tennille in the early 1970s.

An she condemned the man for not giving her sexual attention. Toni Tennille is a one hit wonder entertainer and a horrible wife. But, now she's back in the spotlight. Worse songwriter/performer in history.
