"Daryl Frank Dragon (August 27, 1942 - January 2, 2019) was an American musician and songwriter, known as Captain from the pop musical duo Captain & Tennille with his then-wife, Toni Tennille."
I loved this interview and how the Captain and Tennille interact. Very similar to my own husband and I and I enjoyed and laughed at their interaction. It's very sweet.
captain & tennille actually sang a few of my favorite songs when i was a kid in the "70's". i may not know them but i kinda feel like they are part of my family. i love you guys. rock on "captain & tennille"!!!
After watching many videos of these two, I understand now why Toni wrote her book. He had no emotions whatsoever. I think we were all in love with idea of them being crazy about each other, which obviously was one sided, because of the beautiful loves songs. I am so sorry for Tony.
Daryl is emotionally closed off. No wonder she finally split. Her grace and tact is what kept them going.. Can’t wait to read Toni’s memoirs. Grew up loving them.
A classy Old school , likable , funny, and intelligent , husband and wife - duo. I wish there were more Captain & Tennille's. And Tennille still looks good! Great Posting.
Daryl and Toni are like my parents to me. My mom is 4 years younger than Toni. I watch this interview and to me it was like watching your dad and mom. I love them both no matter what happens because of this divorce. I remember them on TV when I was a little kid. I am from near Nashville, Tennessee and Toni is from Montgomery, Alabama. In my world, they will live on forever and no matter what happens, may God Bless them both. Like I said, I am only 50 years old, soon to be 51 as of this posting, and they will be like mom and dad to me as I grew up listening and watching them on TV.
wow, WHAT AN AWESOME story about these 2! I grew up with their music: the 70s were very sweet and "innocent", ONLY 'cause I was young & somewhat naive, but I LOVED IT STILL! I WISH I could go back to the 70s "innocence"! That Captain IS AN AWESOME Keyboard Player, SUCH TALENT FROM BOTH, OBVIOUSLY, 'cause they BOTH came from VERY TALENTED families, wow!
The Captain was always so interesting and funny in his own way 😀👍 I believe his Experience with musical instruments is Very Unique. I was impressed with how many he could play. RIP Daryll...I Loved ya 💜💜💜
I was lucky enough to see them in concert several times over the years back in the 70's and 80's. I think I saw them 4 times in performance and I went to a taping of their TV show too. They've always been a class act. Also...Toni used to sing the National Anthem at the Dodger games and once someone asked me to move so she could see Tennille. I ran down those seats so fast to meet her. She's been SO cordial to her fans as has Daryl over the years.
If you watched any of the C&T dvds you would know that Toni has said repeatedly that she is very allergic to smoke. Her voice is as wonderful today as it was 30 yrs ago..rock on C&T!!!!
They never had kids, did they? No wonder they're still happily married with such a great sense of humor ;) Used to watch their show when I was "tween" back in '76. I was learning guitar in those days and although Jimmy Page and Brian May were my gods back then, I always thought C&T were amazing musicians.
How come they NEVER mention that Daryl and His brother Dennis Dragon put out a pretty damn good album in 1971 called Me And My Brother, before Toni came along
lovely interview, bit fast, but i find most are these days.yes,so sad to hear when people divorce, gosh so many years together,thinking they will remain close friends. myviews(below) captain is ill? ....CnT must be pulling at my heart strings or something, this is the most i"ve ever written on a comment.Bless those 2 happy people, for the body of work they have created.
Daryls real name is Daryl!! Daryl Frank Dragon to be exact. Carmen Dragon was Daryl's father, he was a very famous symphony conductor and the school is name after him. Daryl also has a sister named Carmen who is a wonderful harp player!
Sometimes, the Moon and the stars line up, and two wonderful people find each other, giving the rest of us hope. I hope they get to live to be 200, side by side.....
+angelthman She did, but I think she was trying to stop Daryl from talking as the interview was ending. You can see Daryl is already suffering from some neurological disorder. Seeing him shake like that is heart-breaking :(
misshley,kapag nakita ka,ako ay nahihiya,kapag kausap k,ako ay namumula-sabi ng puso ko,ako ay in love sa yo,sana ay mahalin mo rin ako...it is a song...it means whenever i see you,im ashamed,whenever i talk with you,i blushed...my heart says im in love with you,hoping you will love me too...it is my favorite lines in the song...
They are truly amazing, what a cute couple! Still in love after all these years. They complement eachother in such a funny way...Interesting how Daryl came from show biz history...Luv their tropical shirts!!
They dont make music like this anymore. I miss the 70's and 80's so much! Thank you for sharing this.
As a 70s kid? Capt and Tenille brought me so much fond memories
I can't tell you how much joy these folks brought to my life back in the day. Fantastic performers!
We lost you two years ago Daryl I still love you you're my idol
I thought he was Great!!! RIP Captain 🙏🙏🙏
A true southern lady..and Darryls dry humor...what a great mix...Thanks for the great music.

Always loved the Captain and Tennille/ When they had their program on TV, I NEVER missed it. They make beautiful music together.
I still love these two. Very funny interview.

I love all their music always have always will.
Goodness I love these two and even though this is from 2007. Still look healthy and happy
this is great. she is an incredible spirit.

Most relationships are lacking in some areas. They can be one-sided or off balance of sorts. It can never be perfect
They really did some great stuff....love em'

I agree with you completely, Ree. Grew up loving their music. Looking forward to reading her memoirs as well.
I love their repartee...they make me smile just to watch their interactions. Lovely people, great musicians.
A classy Old school , likable , funny, and intelligent , husband and wife - duo. I wish there were more Captain & Tennille's. Great Posting.

What a nice couple. I admit I wasn't a fan of theirs really, but they are two very genuinely nice people.
Nice people deserve to be happy.

OMG I love them soooo much!
Love them both.
hahah
Man, 30 years and stilll so in love. Praise GOD!!
Praise God, my ass. Toni admitted that there was never a romantic connection between them. Their "love" was as fake as your god.
They never had kids, did they? No wonder they're still happily married with such a great sense of humor ;)
Used to watch their show when I was "tween" back in '76. I was learning guitar in those days and although Jimmy Page and Brian May were my gods back then, I always thought C&T were amazing musicians.
she looks amazing for her age! shes almost 70 and you would never know!
I was always in love with Toni, I envy the captain.
I grew up listening to them Cap and Tenil.
What a great Marriage,real husband and wife, real voice.
Toni looks TERRIFiC!!!! The 2 of them make a perfect combo. I would like to see more of them in todays music or TV.
I always wondered what "dry humor" was....heard about it for years. Now I see it. It's pretty cool. ...
Their music is the greatest.
He seems a bundle of fun!
Love them today!!
Sad their getting a divorce...I loved these two when I was little...
That's too bad.
It makes me sad too. Something about seeing them together when I was young, made me think that their love would last.
Great-Interview...
Toni puts on a good front.
they're so sweet and classy
:)
miss those days when everyone was full of elegance
I love it !!!
We love this interview, too. So does Toni Tennille! Thanks for your comment.
Daryl was cute in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and still in 2007. :)
How come they NEVER mention that Daryl and His brother Dennis Dragon put out a pretty damn good album in 1971 called Me And My Brother, before Toni came along
the captain has a full arsenal! i got hope. lol.
lovely interview, bit fast, but i find most are these days.yes,so sad to hear when people divorce, gosh so many years together,thinking they will remain close friends. myviews(below) captain is ill? ....CnT must be pulling at my heart strings or something, this is the most i"ve ever written on a comment.Bless those 2 happy people, for the body of work they have created.
LOVVVVVE you guys !!!
The Captain is from my town (Antioch,Calif) They named a school after him here called Carmen Dragon which is his real name.
His father is Carmen Dragon.
Love kept them together.
... until they divorced
I love them!
Never heard him say anything before now.
Toni is still cute and funny I love her!!
Love u guys
misshley,i was not a fan of tenille,but because of you,i learned to like her songs...
I lvoe this duo!
Daryls real name is Daryl!! Daryl Frank Dragon to be exact. Carmen Dragon was Daryl's father, he was a very famous symphony conductor and the school is name after him. Daryl also has a sister named Carmen who is a wonderful harp player!
30 years of marraige...really rare & beautiful to see esp in show business.
toni you look great , you too cap,tn
love.......
I wish they stayed together! I think it bothered me more than them!
Toni reminds me of Marsha Mason
Good observation. I agree!
Daryl was so good looking when he was YOUNG.
Now, not so much.
Show us your picture so we can be shallow like you and judge your looks, in anonymity, the way you're judging his.
Point well taken. Just that I am shocked by how poorly he has aged. Oh, and I am not shallow by nature and proclivity, so ...
@@SuiGenerisAbbie Good on you for coming clean.
She such a nice person......
Shes got a great happy personallity.
I hate miserable people.
fantastic talented duo Looking good I'd love to hear that voice sing anytime and I'm no square. A bit geeky perhaps but geek is cool.
awww toni is still pretty I was so in love with her when I was a kid lol
are clips of toni tennille's mother's show on youtube?
RIP.....Captain
Just love C&T!!
Daryl is sooooo funny!!
Daryl is funny.
Sometimes, the Moon and the stars line up, and two wonderful people find each other, giving the rest of us hope. I hope they get to live to be 200, side by side.....
Toni has always had such a great personality.
Love will always keep us together and c'mon do it to us one more time!!!
Thank you nice that there's someone that is nice.
Nice folks. Bet they make excellent dinner partners!
I wish they'd do outside festivals. They make SUPER music
11:00 I could be wrong, but I think Toni elbows her husband here to shut him up - lol.
+angelthman She did, but I think she was trying to stop Daryl from talking as the interview was ending. You can see Daryl is already suffering from some neurological disorder. Seeing him shake like that is heart-breaking :(
+Katie Mikell Ok, maybe.
Yes,she said on her blog she did that
She seems bullying.
Saturn3 Nah,she knows Daryl would just keep on talking if she didn't
misshley,kapag nakita ka,ako ay nahihiya,kapag kausap k,ako ay namumula-sabi ng puso ko,ako ay in love sa yo,sana ay mahalin mo rin ako...it is a song...it means whenever i see you,im ashamed,whenever i talk with you,i blushed...my heart says im in love with you,hoping you will love me too...it is my favorite lines in the song...
toni. voice. excelent. y captain good musico
Wow this video is cool.
P.S. Does Darryl sing too? I've always wondered
They are truly amazing, what a cute couple! Still in love after all these years. They complement eachother in such a funny way...Interesting how Daryl came from show biz history...Luv their tropical shirts!!
What a great couple. The acts out there now need to get a clue from these two on how to stay married.
kelly russell
Aaaand they’re divorced
I see she wears the pants in the family! She barely lets him talk and speaks for him! She would make a good talk show host!
I would love to find a wife who would let me get a word in edgewise, if you find one, let me know....preesh
She was a host for awhile.She had her own show
"Sana ay mahalin mo rin ako" is the title of the song,misshley...
The hat is his trademark
I guess "Love did keep then together!" ♥♥♥♥♥
Why oh WHY aren't all of their WONDERFUL recordings on CD??? That is a major TRAGEDY!!!
Toni....has 'found herself'... she isn't living with him anymore for quite some time now.... 🌈
As a physician I can't help but notice Toni's right arm. Did she have a mini-stroke?
They are true Soul Mates....;)
They're getting a divorce! :'( Long live Captain and Tenille!
hes not well sad
