RIP Daryl Dragon, aka Captain

Daryl passed away a couple days ago after years of illness which had become so bad, he could not play the piano.

I wrote more extensively about him, his famous family members and career with Toni about four years ago here.

Maybe having Captain & Tennille’s hit “Lonely Nights (Angelface)” on a short playlist I have called Earworms should’ve been a warning sign. Nah, I don’t believe in such nonsense. However, I will defend the merits of the duo’s work to the end because their “cheese” were pretty complicated productions and they were instrumental to future rock stars in the background.

Farewell Daryl. You were one of my inspirations to learn to play the piano. Had I known being a musician could’ve made me a lady magnet, I would’ve stuck with it longer.
