Jimmy Seals died. Thank you for the great music, Jimmy. RIP
I have always loved their music. It gives me peace, we don't hear music like this anymore. I have many favorite songs they sang. But Hummingbird is one of the favorites of all. Whenever I see a Hummingbird, that song pops right into my mind. And I start to hum it! They were a great team, great harmonies together. Sorry to hear Seals is gone, but I'm sure he is at peace. Bless Crofts, I hope he's still singing his songs.

Seals and Crofts were a dazzling duo! My favourite song of theirs is “Summer Breeze” (1972). Unfortunately, I never saw them in concert. Finally, rest in peace, Mr. Seals. 🙏

Summer Breeze is the only song that people know them for. I like it too, but not as much as Hummingbird or Diamond Girl.
Seals and Croft had many beautiful songs. Humming Bird was my favorite, never get tired of hearing it.

Yes, they did. I love "Hummingbird," too. Dash Crofts made it clear he really prefers it when his last name isn't misspelled "Croft."
I saw them at the Paramount Theater in Portland Oregon around 1976. My favorite songs are: We May Never Pass This Way Again, Summer Breeze, I'll Play For You, and The King of Nothing. On an early album, they performed a song called Standing On The Mountaintop, which was a fun, upbeat rock song. ✌️😎🎶🎸
They were integral parts of the soundtrack of my childhood.
I ❤️ seals & Crofts!! Summer Breeze is my favorite 😍

Seals and Crofts was the first concert I ever went to. in Corvallis, Oregon. Before they signed with WB, my dad drove them to a couple of gigs in the Willamette valley in Oregon.
At a family reunion, the first time in 34 years I was with 5 siblings, standing around fire pit singing S&C in 6 part harmonies. ❤️
My dad used to play their records a lot when I was a kid growing up in the late 70s and 80s. I never fully appreciated them till I was quite a bit older, but I never forget hearing Diamond Girl and We May Never Pass this Way Again. I reconnected with their music in the late 2000s. Love their music. 👍🏻🎸
I head "Your the love' on a Delta Air Flight ✈️ from Las Vegas back to Dallas Texas..I couldn't find it anywhere...but a guy from KNEWS Zoo Radio got me a copy from the studio...as he knew the guys and get a copy for me.... I loved all their hits but YOUR THE LOVE was a special one to me...some years later a friend in Dallas got me a extended version and had a disco sound added as well in the background....he said that the guys made a special edition for their fans of the song... so that is my story.. I got some great stories on the Rolling Stones 😎 and some other 70s groups...but maybe another time ty for sharing this video

I never could tell who was who but I sure love the music and I need their voices when I heard them on the radio and I am glad that I do have their music..... Watch them anytime they were on TVI remember one special dayy did in a perform hummingbirds and it was so pretty and I never forget how each time they will go a note higher when they be saying hummingbird don't fly away and you can see the little birds flying away until you couldn't see them anymore I just thought that was amazing shot.. They will always be remembered and highly respected they have a very special place in my heart and yes I still listen to their music......
They were the sounds of Summer when I was young.
"You're the love of my life" is my fav. by the duo. I was born in 54 so kinda grew up with them. I've since have past on there music to the kiddos and grand kiddos,
They were wonderful.
For a musical twosome that sounded so highly spiritual, they sure knew how have a lot a soul to build in the songs.
Thanks for the memories. Humingbird and diamond G will be played into the future. We where young , one time .
Carolyn Willis' group HoneyComb had a big hit with "Want Ads" in the early 70's. You did a fantastic job on this one.
Summer Breeze my favorite!
They made some awesome music that I have always enjoyed. Harmonies were second to nobody and loved all the acoustic. Never knew that their faith was Bahi.
Diamond Girl was written for Seal's wife Ruby.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the soundtrack to a 1977 coming-of-age movie called "One on One" starring Robby Benson. As I recall, the music was written by Charles Fox and Paul Williams, but performed by Seals and Crofts. The movie hasn't aged well, but the soundtrack is still a favorite. Excellent vocals

Jealous!
I like the basic idea of the Baha'i faith --- that the various religions of man are like the fingers on God's hands. I also like the idea of the Hummingbird being holy because it is the only bird that can fly backward. But, beyond that, I'm still agnostic and not really interested in investigating further. If they are (were) rabidly anti-abortion, then good for them but count me out. But I do love many of Seals & Croft's songs ---- especially Hummingbird, and certainly many others like Get Closer and Summer Breeze. These guys were fabulous musicians and had wonderful vocal abilities, not to mention their brilliant songwriting. I really appreciate this video explaining their respective professional journeys, beginning way back in the 1950's. I wish I had seen them live, but the Soundstage video here on KZread helps to make up for that. They were one of the best things in the '70's music scene.
Their music was full of joy.
Saw them in San Antonio when I was 14. July 4th, 1972. Independence Day Concert put on by the radio station KEXL. Only my 2nd concert. I was broke so me, my brother Travis, and Eloy all jumped the fence so we could get in. My friend Eloy saw his cousins there. They needed rolling papers. We needed weed. That worked out well. Freddie King and Navasota played too. Great times.

It seems odd that Dash Crofts never issued a statement about the passing of his long-time musical partner.
First concert I ever went to. Fantastic! Of course I was 17 and it was the first concert I ever saw. Started late on account of Minnesota winter weather. Halenbeck Hall, Saint Cloud college campuses. Jim Gordon( storied carrier with a sad ending, possibly most notably co-wrote Layla)on drums and he had to set up his own drums.
They also did the soundtrack album for the movie "One on One" in which they performed some songs written by Paul Williams.
S&C have been my favorite pop music duo since I was about 16. I've loved many of their songs, e.g. See My Life, Robin, Purple Hand, Today, Irish Linen, Funny Little Man, Boy Down the Road, Nine Houses, Windflowers, Passing Thing, Freaks Fret, Kite Dreams ...
I loved all of seals and croft music had all there alums been to two of there concerts back in the 70s I was in my late teens in the late 90s I found out that they were baha'i and started studying the faith I now understand the beautiful lyrics of there songs I love them both rest in peace seals
Thanks ! I love seals and crofts… Every song on the Diamond Girl album is a gem … And they spent so many different styles from jazz to folk to pop.. I would say that standing on a mountain top is my favorite.
Some great obscure S&C tunes include the progressive rock (no joke it even begins in 13/8) song Say from the Summer Breeze album, Stars from The longest Road which features Chick Corea on piano and Stanley Clark on bass, It’s Gonna Come Down (On You) from Diamond Girl, Yellow Dirt from Summer Breeze, and the oft sampled for hiphop tracks (most famously by Busta Rhymes in Put Your Hand Where My Eye Can See) Sweet Green Fields from Get Closer.

Dash said they weren't dropped from Warner Bros. but it was Seals and Crofts themselves who decided not to renew their contract after being burnt out from so many years of touring. Knowing that, Warner Bros. put no money into promoting their last album, which was in some ways their best.

They were the number one group for a while.
Greatly admired "Unborn Child." It's a great pro-life song. It came out when I was expecting the fourth of my six children.
I attended a S&C concert at Carolina Stadium (Columbia, SC) in 1976. I was in my late teens & already a fan, but that concert genuinely changed my life. They sounded even better live than in the studio ( a rarity & tribute to their talent & work ethic). After the concert, they invited anyone interested in learning about the Baha’i Faith across the street to a conference room they’d reserved. I became a Baha’i that evening, & my life was completely transformed.

The Baha'i faith's acceptance of all religions is in direct conflict with Jesus who teaches that He alone is: The way, the truth and the life and nobody comes to the Father but through Him.
At a concert Dash needed a capo. I fished out mine and threw it up onstage to him! That was fun! East of The Ginger Trees. So many, hard to say which is a favorite.
Down Home I think was their best album. Jim Seals was able to make 3 sounds at the same time, an amazing thing he learned from his grandfather. It is on one of their albums, and I saw them in 1971 and he did it in person when I saw them in CT,

What does that mean? He could make 3 different sounds at the same time? With his voice? With his mouth? Does it mean he could sing in 3 part harmony by himself somehow? Or he could play guitar, sing and tap his foot? Thanks.
"Soft Rock" was a subgenre of Pop Rock that originated in Southern California in the 1970s with simple, melodic songs. It was something that dominated radio at the time. Who fits into "Soft Rock"? Phil Collins, Eagles, Rod Stewart, America, Carpenters, Neil Diamond etc. Well, it might not even be my favorite style (and maybe yours too), but something of that kind of nice and easy listening music was certainly appreciated. "Seals & Crofts" were ubiquitous at one time. One of the most successful attractions of the so-called "Soft Rock" in the 70's, the duo composed by Jim Seals and Dash Crofts met in 1958 playing together with the singer Dean Beard. But he only decided to go it alone as a duo in 1969. Seals played guitar, sax and violin, while Crofts handled drums, mandolin, keyboards and guitar.
Thanks so much for this. I often wondered what happened to them. I loved Seals and Crofts, still do. Interesting, I didn't know about the connection with England Dan. 👍

I appreciate all this info, esp i had no idea about the relationship with England Dan and John Ford Coley (i remember them and what a catchy great name for a band/duo!). I do need to say that the way the video was read made it a bit hard to follow, i dunno what it was, maybe the meter or that some words got "swallowed up," (or was it too fast?) i had to keep skipping back to see wait, what did he say? But thank you for making this, all these years later i totally learned some new things! I had no idea their connection to the Baha'i faith either.
I saw them in Philadelphia P.A in 1973 at the spectrum, it was a good show considering I was at the time into harder music.
Well done thanks bro!

I have a humming bird wall quilt!! One day I will pick up an instrument and I'll play for you!!
Occasionally their song "Get Closer" is portrayed as a love song. More accurately it is a "fallen-out-of-love" song. Great song, but rather sad.
Seals & Croft used to tour San Antonio, TX several times during the 70s and early 80s. I enjoyed their music and even investigated the Bah'hi religion. It is not really new. I liked their first song which had the lines "See my life as it was yesterday, see my life as it was today . . ." Loved that song
