And The Captain was the keyboardist for The Beach Boys from around 1966 into the early 70's... Tennille joined that band as an acoustic pianist.

His father was an Oscar winning composer, arranger and conductor. His mother was a singer who performed on many network radio shows.
 
Mean Gene Okerlund, Bob "Super Dave Osbourne" Einstein and now "The Captain" of Captain & Tennille, all on the same day at the same age of 76, yep, that's the theme of this death trilogy. RIP to all of those men.

I watched it. I don't know "Lonely Night" but I like all those other songs.
