Toni Tennille has been one of my favorite female vocalists since she
burst onto the music scene with her Grammy-winning recording of “Love
Will Keep Us Together” with husband Daryl Dragon back in 1975. Daryl
Dragon was better known as “Captain of the Keyboards” in his position as
keyboardist for the Beach Boys on tour and the name “Captain” stuck.
Daryl soon brought along his girlfriend Toni to join the band as an
additional keyboardist, giving her the distinction of being the only
female to be a part of the Beach Boys touring band back in the 1970s.
Since that time, Toni has distinguished herself with having a prime-time
music show on ABC, her own talk show, and a successful run with an
off-Broadway production of Victor/Victoria. She recorded her own series
of music CDs of Big Band songs and has performed with orchestras all
over the country. With what appeared to be a perfect marriage and
successful music career, the world was astounded when Toni suddenly
filed for divorce as she and Daryl neared their 40th wedding
anniversary. This book explains in great detail what led to that
decision and how Toni survived so many years in a loveless marriage. I
enjoyed this book and recommend it to any fan of the Captain and
Tennille.
