Interesting story of them divorcing after 39 years. Wiki says Captain didn’t even know it was coming until he was served with the papers. Guess love couldn’t keep them together…

Especially when he was ill. He needed her more than ever.

They were quite a good team back in the day and this one is a good song. I never understood why they sang about Muskrat love though:)

“Muskrat Love” was a cover of an America (the band) song. Why they chose to cover it? Your guess is as good as mine…

They weren’t bad, I just wasn’t into their kind of music at the time.
