[@lisarainbow9703]

Hummingbird is another gorgeous song by Seals and Croft... ✌🎶💜

[@hilarytoffler5636]

FACTS!!!;; I am sorry for not reading your comment before I wrote mine.

[@ericanderson8886]

Favorite Seals and Crofts song indeed, love that song.

[@hilarytoffler5636]

The harmonies are breathtaking!

[@Jill-ni8fe]

My fave song by them also: Hummingbird

[@Maggie22002]

Yes, another one is, You’re The Love.

[@am74343]

This song always makes me cry, because I think back to all the times gone by, and realize that we will never be able to exactly recreate those days from the past... All those good times are now just memories, and we need to cherish them with every fiber of our being!

[@Go-tee71]

So true...just reading your comment made me 😭

[@katherinem.4414]

We have the past for memories to help move us up for the future!! A true prophet said that even though sometimes things get bad….they ALWAYS get good again. We have to remember that it’s the good that lasts, because of its strong foundation. The bad goes like ashes unto our feet…..and away.

[@LOKISlog7]

Such a beautiful song Mothing better than 70s AM radio

[@richardkint6531]

Brings back memories from my high school prom in '76! Thanks guys. Some other songs from S & C to react to are "Hummingbird", "Get Closer" & "I'll Play For You". Speaking of duos, Checkout England Dan (Dan Seals, Jim's brother) and John Ford Coley songs including "Nights Are Forever" & "Gone Too Far". Thanks. 😎

[@jamesanthony5257]

England Dan & John Ford Coley sang background on this song/album (Diamond Girl).

[@bjdefilippo447]

I especially like "I'll Play for You" and "Nights are Forever."

[@davidrutiezer5239]

Get Closer is a great song from them & you'll love the guest vocal by Carolyn Willis.

[@carlacook5181]

Oh definitely Get Closer.

[@IzmailKuznetsov]

I like 'One More Time' from the Takin' It Easy album. Also 'Forever Like The Rose.'

[@michaelmcgillivray1624]

Summer Breeze was always my favorite Seals and Croft piece. Many memories 😊

[@j.w.matney8390]

Reminds me of high school days. Great harmonies.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Me, too. The title of this song was displayed prominently at my graduation..way back in 1982.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

They had a sound all their own. Their harmonies were exquisite.

Thank you for bringing these guys back on your channel, they never disappoint... with simplicity and life's enjoyment messages in their music. Truely pure simple raw talent from these guys.... Very underrated IMO - they are fantastic...

[@michaelasay8587]

Now the world is just horrible....

[@Jude_196]

SUCH A TREASURE! LOVE Seals & Crofts!! They ALWAYS make me feel it should be summer, for some reason!! Maybe it was Summer Breeze...but, they ALL make me feel SUMMER! Such light, wonderful harmonies!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!

[@tomgould3475]

I'm really amazed at how few reaction channels have done, " Hummingbird, by Seals and Crofts." Please make it your next Seals and Crofts reaction. 🙏 The original album version is the best. Thanks

[@emmitstewart1921]

Definitely play Hummingbird, then diamond girl, then King of nothing.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Get Closer" (featuring Carolyn Willis) !! Wow, you came back to them fast!

[@davidrutiezer5239]

Yes!!!

[@celesteg-g2684]

Yes!

[@pamelaolnick4179]

I saw them in concert in the 70s, they played and sag for over 3 hours, non stop, no breaks, they were doing Hog calls, telling stories. Everything, the crowd loved them, they were fabulous. One of my favorite concerts. ❤

[@kimcutts6153]

Hi. I'm curious. What are "Hog Calls"?

[@hilarytoffler5636]

Hummingbird is another song that will bring on a true "Amber Sway". Love watching you guys and your beautiful family.

[@davidrutiezer5239]

Ha! "Amber Sway"!😆

[@musicman6243]

Yall definitely made me smile with this one ☺️! " I'll Play for You" is a good one, think you would like!

[@pemirkovich9]

I had the honor of knowing Jimmy personally he was a fanatical fisherman. He would fly half way across the world in the middle of a recording session on his weekend off just to fish with me and other friends then fly back on monday. His brother Dan was part of the duo "England Dan and john Ford Coley" and an accomplished country singer as well. Jimmy Seals also wrote a lot of music for other artists and spent the end of his life in Nashville.

[@leeyaferguson9019]

Yep!!!!

[@michlkwitz]

And carrying on the Seals family legacy is their cousin Brady Seals, who was the co-lead singer and keyboardist in Little Texas. He and Dash Crofts' daughter, Lua, have been touring as Seals & Crofts 2.

[@pemirkovich9]

Well the whole family is musical the older brother Frank had a show in vegas for years as well. Also Jimmys kids Josh Southerland and Juliet are all musical as well.@@michlkwitz

[@rickyconner6782]

We had no idea we were living in the Golden Age of music.

[@stephaniejones4749]

I remember this song very well, because this was our song when I graduated from high school. ,"We May never pass this way again" No truer words were ever spoken and I have not walked those halls of my high school ever again

"Hummingbird" is a great song by them. You start on the ground and by the end of the song you are nearly to heaven.

[@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk]

There harmonies so beautiful. As well as songwriting. Diamond girl is my favorite song.

[@ChrisLagos77]

Oh what a groove...those were the days. No cell phones and groovy people with amazingly talented singers and song written.

[@martia5987]

So beautiful and heartfelt. It reminds me that I am so glad I had a chance to pass through the 70s when this type of music was made.

[@drunettaspencer1653]

As an African American woman 64, we had friends of many nationalities but during long road trips to the South there was no Soul music so were introduced to different music that being said this was one of my favorites. Regardless of your race during the the 60's thru 80s music was amazing. How lucky were we all to to know these people who music are apart of our fondest memories ❤ Forgive typos if there any

[@paularietta6744]

This song (and all of Seals and Crofts songs) were very popular during my senior year in 1973. This one in particular though really hit home for many of us given the transitions from high school to whatever the next phase of our respective futures would be. I still love this song.

[@realamerican5813]

I have always loved this song!!

[@stuartdean1938]

Such beautiful lyrics...You make me feel like I'm more than a friend. Like I'm the JOURNEY and you're the JOURNEY'S END.

[@enriqueirigoyen156]

I'll Play For You...and everyone seems to forget The King of Nothing...you will love them both👍

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Seals & Crofts are instantly recognizable. My sister and I loved them and bought one of their albums. An expensive purchase for us at the time. Brings back memories.

[@sfviris5582]

Love this song, it makes me feel like weeping. Imagine, we’re here, we’re alive doing fabulous things w fabulous people and then it’s over?! Nope, I just can’t believe that. Gone forever?! No. Can’t happen. Thanks for reviewing this song. ❤

That guitar tone on the solo is amazing. I can’t think of other songs with that sound. Their harmonization is always transcendent. Cat Stevens - Where Do The Children Play Beach Boys - In My Room Eagles - Peaceful Easy Feeling Mamas & the Papas - I Saw Her Again Last Night The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

[@michelleb9808]

Great suggestions!!

[@drdr76]

...had their greatest hits cassette back in the day. Great group that also reminds me of Loggins and Messina another fantastic collaboration.

[@douggheen1653]

Next song should be "I'll Play for You". They always played this song as the opener or closer of their live concerts.

[@paularietta6744]

This song was released in the latter part of my senior year (1973) of high school. The lyrics of the song had a real impact my friends and I because we all knew that our lives were about change significantly after graduation. There was certainly some sadness and fear but mostly optimism for the future. Now at 69 years old, this song still teleports me back to that moment in time and those feelings. Fortunately I still have many of those same friends to this day, some 50+ years later and what a ride it has been. Thanks for reacting to this one.

[@timjezierski1930]

A great 60's song is Ferry Cross the Mersey by Jerry and the Pacemakers

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Also, “ Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying! “ beautiful song by Jerry & The Pacemakers. “

[@shaneluttrell532]

Every time Seals and Crofts used to come on the radio, I was mesmerized. Songs like this feel eternal, like they've always been there and always will.

[@Perfect_Blend]

I remember sitting in the audience before a Carpenters concert in Binghamton, NY in the 70's and this song played while people were still finding their seats. All I could think of was "Yeah, they may never pass this way again." Who would have thought they would have Seals And Croft music playing before the concert?

[@CreatorInTrng]

...(tear drop)... I forgot how much I love this song.

[@tobysmith3351]

Please react to The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There" (you met them when they sang "The Weight" with The Band) You'll also love their 1972 live performance of "Respect Yourself." They are a great group with a real gospel sound.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Guys! Nobody does this one. They're all doing "Summer Breeze." Something about the way this song is composed is entrancing. Not just verse and chorus, but a pre-chorus? It's an incredible composition and I'm always waiting for someone to react to it, so thank you!

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Oh, I love these guys & love this song. A song you never get tired of hearing…Seals & Croft!👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🎸👏👏👏♥️♥️

[@danielmurphy4429]

From the first time I heard this song it’s meaning hit me hard and never left. So many friendships, experiences, relationships, good times and bad, gain and loss. Life.

[@Carl-o5d]

So many scars in life, so many experiences and people we left behind on our path, that's why this song is soo deep!!!

[@ultem2323]

My favorite Seals & Crofts song is "King of Nothing" after I was in a little restaurant in the Philippines and a small group of entertainers going from table to table absolutely nailed their rendition. For me it created an imprinted memory so simple at the time, but I'll never forget it.

[@raquelgear-dp2qf]

you two are beautiful, just figured out that I can comment (I'm so old) your love and respect for each other is the best part, but your appreciation of past generations music seems to have helped you to grow and expand. You two are quick learners also, which makes you perfect for this. Thank you for making us smile - your infectious!

[@brendawilson2368]

Good music never fails to transport you to another time. This one takes me right back to high school. I love Seals and Croft!

[@chrispnw2547]

This is one of their most moving songs. These lyrics are very deep and speak to the heart. The bridge has a spiritual/gospel feel before winding you to the restful close. No truer words have been spoken as there will never be another Seals & Croft. Check out their one Disco-oriented song: 'You're the Love'.

[@georgewilliams4258]

Seals and Crofts was my first concert excellent show.

[@andrewcole3736]

This song has a great message and it’s an excellent example of how to write a great Pop song. They were both devoted to Baha’i Faith which began in the Middle East about 150 or so years ago. They see God in all things. For me their music can best be described as a celebration of life. 🕊❤️🎼

[@bjdefilippo447]

That explains a lot. One of my teaching assistants was Baha'i. One of the most full of light people I've met.

This was a song that was sung at my high school graduation by the Senior Choir.

[@thomastimlin1724]

You're the lucky ones!!! My stupid class had this song on the list to vote on, but chose the Way We Were by Barbra Streisand instead in 1974. Dumb dumb dumb. and depressing song. they even turned down I've Got a Name by Jim Croce. Hell, if you're going to choose a depressing song, why didn't' they choose Bob Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door? lol...

[@letsstock-a-lot4095]

This song brings me to my very earliest music memories. Great suggestion. You gave us what we wanted.

[@pmccachren]

Many ,many high schools chose this as their class song back then. Just a great spot on song. Beautiful.

Hey, new listener and subscriber. I just discovered your channel and have been LISTENING ALL DAMN DAY! Love the music and your thoughts and commentary.

[@garybradford8332]

Their song "Ruby Jean and Billie Lee" was written to honor their wives. I don't remember it getting much, if any, radio play so it's not as well known as their bigger hits. What is special about it is that you really get to hear each of their voices separately as they each sing two verses before harmonizing on the final verse. Their high notes are really impressive.

[@sherigrow6480]

Our song, too, Class of '74. Some passages of this were included in our yearbook,

[@gregorysmith4077]

“Get Closer “ one of their best and my favorite.

[@mikepierce7040]

Been waitin' for y'all to get to Seals and Croft. 'Diamond Girl' and Summer Breeze' is Top 40 filler. Their really good stuff comes from deep within the soul. Really good messages for young people, l was one of those once, to help avoid some of the traps of being young and easily suckered. '29 Years From Texas' and 'Windflowers' are real good. 'Desert People' is amazing but it's more amazing if you get the spiritual undertones. You might try 'Unborn Child', that is if you've got the courage. 'Rachel', 'King of Nothing', 'The Story of Her Love', 'Follow Me', 'Ledges', Hell, try 'em all. These are examples of some of the very best, varied, diverse, mature and amazing music from the seventies that helped a whole generation of young people be less stupid, and more intellectually and culturally enriched. I love what y'all do. Doggone it, I wasn't gonna mention this, but for your 'Female Friday, you might want to consider the 'Priest Sisters'. They do a little 'Santa Clause is Coming to Town' that is pretty cool and entertaining, it being the season and such. They're Czech. You might want to 'Czech' them out. Sorry.
