Captain and Tennille's Daryl Dragon Dead at 76....

Daryl and Toni Tennille were famous for cranking out huge hits in the '70s, including "Do That to Me One More Time," "Muskrat Love" and "Love Will Keep Us Together." The duo was actually a couple -- they married in 1975. They landed their own TV variety show the next year.

Dang, he was a mere "infant!" Gulp! Sure makes an old geezer like me "whistle" as I walk past the graveyard! Sorry to hear this. Captain and Tennille were "big stuff" back in the day.

Thanks for letting us know, Donny.

Met Daryl in he early 60's in California.I auditioned for the job he got with the Beach boys, but wasn't very good on keys yet.

RIP to a significant person in the history of pop music.

Daryl's studio (Rumbo Recorders) was less than a mile from my store. Back in the 80's and 90's Daryl would come visit me usually trying out the latest Kurzweil and Yamaha products. He was a genius with technology. When he decided to close up the studio and move to Carson City, Nevada many years ago, it was very sad to see the studio sit empty for many years until it was finally sold and turned into a Persian party hall. So many famous rock bands recorded at this studio. It was equipped with a full basketball court in the back, a beautiful kitchen and was large enough to include many recording rooms which were fully equipped.

Memories of happier times. I guess we all have them, and George, with your many years in business, I know you have many.

Great keyboard player and a great duo act. They and a drummer did some serious playing. It was one of the first groups to feature keyboards instead of guitars. Yea for that.

George, thanks for the interesting story.
