Dan Seals and Cheryl Wheeler - Addicted (live)

[@tobiaslutz4541]

Cheryl Wheeler is one of the most underrated song writers of the modern era...

[@nikkiarmstrong5400]

I agree

[@charlottemeloney]

Absolutely!......

[@mariotarradell9553]

Oh Dan Seals, you are missed. This is, in my humble opinion, his finest vocal performance. And the song? A Cheryl Wheeler masterpiece. "Addicted" is from back in the day when country music was about stories that touched deep inside, that rattled our emotions and forced us to look at ourselves in the mirror. Listening to "Addicted" still gives me goose bumps. Oh Dan Seals, you are missed.

[@chrismcromeoct]

same here bro. ive seen concert of dan seals in waterfront im so lucky. just before he passed away

[@mariotarradell9553]

christopher roma You are lucky! I have all his CDs and the England Dan & John Ford Coley albums too. Love that man! What a loss!

Used to see Cheryl at the clubs in R.I. and Mass fabulous songwriter

[@victoelguerrero]

OH Mario Tarradell - There are times that someone writes something that just transcends. It gives you a very large window from which to view a very small moment in time that can mean so much to so many. This is one of those times. My tears applaud your penmanship. Not for the beauty that it's portrayed but because I too miss country music n the way that was. I'm a 90's country music baby and Garth, Allen, Toby, Dolly, Lorretta, Reba, Waylon and Willie, and of course George, ALL mark the walls of the home of my inner child. We do have Zac Brown and Chris Stapleton, and I think that they're doing a great job, but it'll never be like it was. No Hee Haw. no Duke Boys. No Lonesome Dove. Not even Louie L'amour can bring it back. I guess that's why they say that memories are the one true gift from God that death himself may not destroy. In my mind, those times certainly do live on. Oh Mario Tarradell, you have definitely blessed me tonight!

[@mariotarradell9553]

@@victoelguerrero Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Music never dies. We always have the music and the memories that it brings. Hugs.

Cheryl Wheeler writes songs that smash through all the barriers and go straight to the heart. She takes heartbreak, joy, anger, peace, passion, indifference - and every other emotion one can feel - and gives them beautiful expression in her lyric and her melodies. Dan Seals gives this one the perfect voice.

[@Eponagirl0810]

Cheryl, you are a blessing to all who are fortunate enough to hear you, Dan, RIP. Your duet with this masterful singer-songwriter will live forever.

Another Cheryl Wheeler spectacular song. One of the two best song writers ever. Cheryl & Joni Mitchell.

[@ChrisCurtisFan]

That's Dan Seals. Another wonderful talent taken too early. Cheryl Wheeler wrote the song, and Dan recorded it. It's my favorite song by Dan Seals. Dan sang every song sincerely. Dan was originally the England Dan of he and John Ford Coley Duo.

Man do their voices melt together!

This is as close to a perfect duet as you will ever hear. This song was made for these two. Cheryl and Dan laid down the pipes on this song and the music is awesome. Goosebumps!

[@kathleen2061]

I just saw Cheryl Wheeler perform tonight in Berkeley, CA. She is one of my favorite live performers, such a rich singer-songwriter talent with humor as well as sensitivity and insight. Came to her website to look for more concert dates and found this gem of a duet. Beautiful! If you don’t know Cheryl Wheeler it is worthwhile poking around song links to hear her music. Tonight she sang her protest song about the guns and school shooting as well as her beautiful love song Arrow. She is a brilliant talent. RIP Dan Seals, such a rich voice and musical talent as well.

[@valpsych]

I had tickets to see Cheryl in New York about six months ago, and we got a notice that she had checked herself in to a mental health facility. I keep checking her website, and there still are no concert dates. I feel like I lost a friend.

[@annparks5327]

[@tapnager]

"If she could bear to walk away, she thinks he wouldn't mind." Wow! Simple, powerful expression of the emptiness and frustrations of unrequited love. Some of the saddest words I've heard.

[@gordiesings]

If you're wondering what Cheryl is referring to when she says "can't take any of the good ones with us, anywhere we go." The good ones are their guitars.

[@jamescarpenter6454]

I had no idea who wrote this song until now. Cheryl Wheeler wrote a masterpiece. I only knew of this song because of Dan's version (RIP Dan). Now that I know of Cheryl, I will seek more of her work. God Bless songwriters and singers.

[@Lorenzo1366]

That "lady" wrote that song, many years ago. Her name is Cheryl Wheeler and she's one of the best songwriters in the U.S. She's recorded over 100 songs, but if you really want to experience her music, see her live.

[@orourkeb40]

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MELODIES DAN EVER DID. GOD GIVES US ALL TALENT & A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME TO CRAFT IT. EMOTION SET TO MUSIC--THE GIFT THAT DAN LEFT US ALL.

[@highnrising]

I always like hearing the singer who had a big hit with someone else's song share the stage with the songwriter and do it as a duet in front of a live audience. Most people in the audience probably knew the Dan Seals' record but had never heard Cheryl's version.

[@jimbonsf]

Exceptional musicians and singers. American roots music, at its best.

[@boomac62]

Rest in Peace "England" Dan Seals. I'm glad to have found this vidfeo as I am a huge fan of Cheryl Wheelers 'as well.

God Bless You, Cheryl Wheeler - When I lived on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, I had all your (I hate to say this, but).. cassette tapes - lol showing my age - at least you were recorded after 8 tracks~! Yep, had one in my first car - a 1967 Chevelle!! Love you and your music!

[@musicman201047]

I have lived this song, every bit of it, her memory still haunts me to this day. She is gone now, having succumbed to cancer, she passed away not knowing how much I truly loved her, still do to this day. A never ending memory of what might have been is all I have left.

[@ramtom9882]

I'm addicted to this version of the song :) Impressed with her simplicity as well - jeans and sweatshirt huh?! Today it would be unthinkable. Those were the days when talent and love to sing songs for the soul were above anything else, I guess.

[@debbyberg9187]

Yeah-the days of Dan Seals and Paul Davis and the talent pool of the 70s and 80s are memories. I am so glad I was here to see all these greats

[@katet575]

One of the things I like about Cheryl Wheeler to this day is her "this is me" attitude. I've seen her perform in sweatpants, t-shirt and bare feet as well as jeans and a button down shirt. She just wears whatever and comes on stage and is herself with the audience and we don't care--just want to hear those amazing stories and beautiful and clever lyrics.

[@ravenel2]

A sweatshirt and jeans would be absolutely fine on a male country singer. Cheryl has never identified with dresses and skirts, she has worn jeans and sweats all her life.

[@cjhughes]

Cheryl has such amazing voice and presence, this is such a well crafted song.

[@dlsw23]

I've always loved this song. They are great together and Cheryl Wheeler is such an amazing talent. Love her voice, her songwriting and the emotion she puts into both. I feel every word she sings. unfortunately, these lyrics are alittle too close to heart right now.

[@pattiallen7284]

cant believe I have just found this! What an incredible song, love the combination of your voices!

[@therealdibabe]

I had no idea until recently that Dan Seals had passed away. Anyone who is fan of Ricky Gervais and his series called After Life, will know that Love Is The Answer by England Dan and John Ford Coley was played on the last episode of the series. When I heard the song, I knew it as familiar, but I could not remember the artists name. I googled it later that night and rediscovered their fantastic hit song once more in its entirety. Then I googled to see if they were still touring and that’s when I learned that Dan had crossed the rainbow bridge. Indeed, he was so talented and he is missed. This is a beautiful song!! 😍

[@ChrisCurtisFan]

Unbelievable. It's as perfect as the studio recorded version.The sol sung by Cheryl Wheeler (the composer) was not on the studio version. Glad they sang it here! :-) Thank you for posting this. RIP Dan. We miss you more than you know. :-(

[@sonneversets3530]

One of the most underrated talents out there. Saw her several times in the small, ‘personal’ venues in the NE area, her stomping grounds. Always a wonderful show. She always made time to get up close & personal w/her fans there, sitting & exchanging in conversations & signing autographs, sometimes over an hour after. A real gem, for sure. As was Dan. I’m sorry he was lost to us when he was. Too young. I hope he found Jesus 🕊
