Tennille's journey began in Montgomery, Alabama, where she was born in 1940. Her father was a pharmacist, and her mother was a homemaker. Tennille began singing at an early age, and she developed a love of music that would stay with her for the rest of her life.

After graduating from high school, Tennille attended the University of Alabama, where she studied music. She also sang in the university choir, and she began writing her own songs. In 1961, Tennille met Daryl Dragon, a fellow music student. The two began dating, and they eventually married in 1975.

In 1972, Tennille and Dragon formed the Captain & Tennille. The duo released their debut album, "Love Will Keep Us Together," in 1975. The album was a huge success, and it spawned the hit singles "Love Will Keep Us Together" and "Muskrat Love." The Captain & Tennille went on to release a number of other hit albums, including "Song of Joy" (1976),"Come In from the Rain" (1977),and "Dream" (1978).

In the 1980s, the Captain & Tennille's popularity began to decline. The duo released a number of albums, but none of them were as successful as their earlier work. In 1989, Tennille and Dragon divorced.

After her divorce, Tennille continued to perform. She released a number of solo albums, and she also appeared in several stage productions. In 1997, Tennille married her second husband, Dr. Austin Wexler.
