RIP Captain

Rest in peace, Daryl Dragon aka the Captain of The Captain and Tenille. He also was a part of one of the earliest and best psychedelic A/B singles ever with his band, The Mission.

Who knew a guy with such a hokey "title" had such a cool "real" name?

Heard he was not doing well.   Watched his goofy show weekly with the whole family as a kid. 

He was also the touring keyboardist for the Beach Boys, where he earned his moniker "Captain."  He convinced them to bring along Tennille for one tour, where she served as their one and only "Beach Girl."

^^^^What a shame, huge fan of Late Night in the Mid-80's, would tape and watch a week's worth of shows on the weekend when the VCR was invented^^^^

Mr and Mrs Einstein named their son Albert, his parents must have had a big sense of humor.  

>Who knew a guy with such a hokey "title" had such a cool "real" name?

That's exactly what I thought.   A lot of that crap music was the soundtrack to my young life --- bouncing around the paneled station wagon, windows rolled up my mother blazing a virginia slims -- captain and tenille, the carpenters, seals and croft....
