The Captain and Tennille are getting a divorce

It looks like love won't keep them together after all.

The Captain and Tennille, the Grammy Award-winning husband-and-wife pop duo best known for the 1975 hit "Love Will Keep Us Together," are divorcing after nearly 39 years of marriage, an Arizona court clerk confirmed Wednesday.

Daryl Dragon, 71, and Cathryn Antoinette "Toni" Tennille, 73, filed the papers in Prescott, Ariz., on Jan. 16, the court clerk said.

The couple met in 1972 when Tennille was the co-writer of a musical and Dragon was the keyboardist for The Beach Boys. She joined The Beach Boys on tour as an additional keyboardist.

The couple began performing together and their act was discovered by Neil Sedaka. They released their first album in 1974.

The couple married in 1975 and scored the biggest chart hit of that year with the soft-rock love song "Love Will Keep Us Together." They had a string of hits in the mid- to late 1970s and sold more than 23 million albums.

They also hosted their own variety TV series, "The Captain and Tennille Show," which ran on ABC from September 1976 to March 1977. Dragon, as "The Captain," always wore his trademark captain's hat.

The couple had  three Top 5 hits in 1976, "Lonely Night (Angel Face)," "Muskrat Love" and a cover of Smokey Robinson’s "Shop Around."

39 years was a good run.
I wish they could have lived happily ever after.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
