I loved Captain and Tennille. They had been divorced for a few years now, but remained friends. How can you spend that long around someone and not stay friends? No matter what, love will keep them together.

In her memoirs, Tenille described their marriage as loveless and lacking physical affection.

So there was no sex??? Dude into porno? No kids

So far in this RIP thread there are accusations of Porn, being gay, and no sex........


Seriously?

I'm pretty shocked by that, even on the Org. It's always interesting to see where people's minds go in simple situations like this.

And let's be clear:

A sexless marriage doesn't mean one or both partners are addicted to porn

A sexless marriage doesn't mean one or both partners are gay, lesbian, or bisexual

A marriage without children is indicative of a choice, not a circumstance

Lack of affection is subjective.

It's incomprehensible that someone has to explain any of that.

It's troubling that it was even brought to this RIP thread.

Tennille said, Daryl was emotionally remote not with just her everybody. Through out their marriage she attempted to pull him in and sex wasn't love. Yet Tennille said, he was the one -go figure.

I don't think you can avoid because every obitutary mentioned, why she decided to leave Daryl. Tennille admit both put on a front about their relationship. Kinda reminds of what my mother always say, whatever your relationship is with your mate or children tell it like it is. Cuz, if you "lie" about the shit it will be exposed sooner or later.

Be that as it may....

I think Captain & Tennelle represented the openess of radio during the 70's, an openess for which we'd never see in the U.S.

If you get beyond their number 1 hits, Daryl and Tennille songwritng was top notch. To dismiss these artist as corny pop is a diservice. I know both wrote music with the Beach Boys; those two should have written music for other artist. I know Dragon father scored for films, I think he had the talent to follow in his footsteps. I'm sorry to hear the Captain has passed; I'm glad Tennille and Daryl were able to maintain a deep/respectful friendship.

R.I.P. Captian.

Sorry to hear RIP The Way I Want To Touch You (1975) is one of my fav songs of theirs

This song always makes me happy the classic Love Will Keep Us Together (1975)

Their version of Shop Around (1976) was groovy

Do That To Me One More Time (1979) is a gem

I remember in 1975,their massive hit "Love Will Keep Us Together" was everywhere.You couldn't escape it I enjoyed a few of their other singles and I even watched their TV show back then.

R.I.P Daryl
