“Love Will Keep Us Together” was written by Neil Sedaka.
At the end of the song, she sings “Sedaka is back”..
Why the defense of Obamacare? Got an agenda? Do you get paid for this?
I would have thought after all these years, the Captain would have been elevated in rank.
She sang backing vocals on Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
I found this excerpt on Wiki:
"I went to see the Pink Floyd concert at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles. There was a 15-year-old boy sitting in front of me who recognized me. He turned around and snottily said, 'What are YOU doing here?'
"So I told him I sang on the album. He ran off to find a friend who had brought the LP to the show, and looked at the back to see if my name was really on there. A few minutes later, he came back and apologetically said, 'Can I have your autograph?'

76 seems to be a bad number!
Not if you dig trombones.

Captain Daryl Dragon
Godspeed
RIP
I heard he never took his captain’s hat off, even slept in it, because of baldness.
There is a picture of him in the article without his captains hat.
I don’t see how that adds up since both are well beyond being medicare recipients at the time of their divorce. She’s 78, He was 74. Beyond the fingers of Obamacare.
I used to work with a guy who was in the Glee Club at Auburn with Her. He was also a neighbor and friend.
He said she was well liked by everyone.
I had a similar experience with Charo. We saw her show. The first half was the shake her boobs “cuchi-cuchi”dumb blond show. The second half was her playing classical guitar with amazing results. Totally changed my perception of her
What “Defense of Obomacare”? He did no such thing. Geez. Relax.
He had a pretty good show, but I understand he cheated on her, and they broke up the act. She, of course, was beautiful.
