Seals & Crofts - Summer Breeze (opens with Dash, why he likes the song)

[@markmartin3221]

This Duo payed their dues to get their just rewards. Great song!

[@cliffmoher1096]

"Not a care in the world." Yeah, that was 1972 for me. Love it. Miss it.

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

I hate to sound like a geezer, but they're fully clothed, there's no autotune, there's no glitzy dancers behind them, there's not a bunch of lights and background electronic music, there's nothing except pure joy. I was fortunate to have spent some hours just jamming with Dash in Massachusetts a long time ago.

[@deborascott2893]

Oh my gosh, have you heard a more beautiful harmony of perfect singing voices? I've loved these guys for decades now. They made the 1970's one of greatest musical decades ever. ❤👍👩‍🦳

[@dynasticlight1073]

Was going to just post the same .Their Harmonies were so flowing , creative. What writers etc.

[@alenelevin1757]

It just cracks me up

[@cindipossidento5688]

I feel the same way ……. I saw them in concert back in the early 70’s…. Listening now and crying my eyes out…. So beautiful RIP …… J Seals !!!! 😘

[@greggnumme299]

THANK YOU JIMMY 😊 YOU SURE DID SHINE MY BROTHER... MY BROTHER TURNED ME ON TO YOU CATS! AND I STILL HAVE ALL THE VINYL. LOVE TO YOUR FAMIGLIA... AND THANK YOU DASH...! 🙏 BEAUTIFUL IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAY THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THE GREATEST MUSIC EVER 🎶 🙏

[@FloydofOz]

Simon and Garfunkel. Alice In Chains. Seals and Croft. Kings of harmony

[@darindorethy9755]

Spot on thanks for the memories and the music

[@Voyageur314]

They shined a light through a troubled time. Jim Seals may be gone but his light still shines brightly through their music. 😎✌❤🎶

[@BCBlue]

I was 12 in 1972 and just getting turned on to all of the tremendous singer songwriters of the time. Seals and Crofts, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Carole King, Gordon Lightfoot, to name a few. It was a great time to be a kid and buying records and listening to FM radio.

[@chrisnolan5607]

It was like a musical Renaissance happened. :)

[@stevefields187]

born in 59 and love every piece of music written from that day on.

[@THXx1138]

We were so privileged. Thank you 1970's.

[@TheMilman26]

Rest in Peace Jim Seals. I always loved the music that you and Dash made. The world will remember you every time they hear your voice. Sing with the angels with all of your heart. RIP.

[@neldasmith4811]

PERFECTION - YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW ! GOD BLESS SEALS & CROFTS !

[@hrastegar2643]

RIP Jimmy! I wish they made this kind of music these days, and we had musician with characters like yours!

[@dskywalker3397]

RIP Jimmy Seals. The music of my youth.

[@stwesh1431]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. He's right. When I hear it, I'm back in elementary school when everything was right in my little world.

[@stanmolina5805]

I must be Old I remember this song of a different time break down my Weapon when I much rather sleep

[@jamiepastman5594]

They seem to be almost forgotten. They really were fantastic, their melodies were unpredictable and soared so beautifully. This kind of musical act seems to be gone now, and it's a shame

[@jackieblue7591]

RIP, Jim Seals AND my beautiful, David Cassidy. 💔

[@rhythmista7707]

I have many memories of this song throughout my childhood in the 70s. I'm instantly brought back to many moments of that time, happy moments that I wish I could go back to, and stay there for the rest of my life..

[@GCRams]

The crap they are putting in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and not putting bands like this in....its just not right. So many hits and what a wonderful sound.

[@danielmeadows1114]

How right you are!!

[@brucemattson4399]

A lot of great bands are always missed. The 70’s had great rock bands.

[@rogercarrasco6865]

Seals & Crofts were not the flashiest of bands , but their music had a unique sound that was calming & enjoyable .

[@user-ru6mq5sc5n]

It's NOT the rock and roll Hall of Fame. They are putting all types of music in there to be politically correct. Just change the name of the place or build a new one and set strict rules in place.

[@garycrabb9805]

@@user-ru6mq5sc5n that I totally agree with!! Loved to see a CORRECTED ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME BUILT! But I still say they have put CRAP in this current Hall of Fame. Some of them haven't did NOTHING sheeta compared to Grand Funk Railroad, Foreigner, Bad Company, Sweet, Eric Carmen and the Raspberries, The Guess Who, etc. This Hall isn't even politically correct with no hit wonders and 1-2 hit wonders. Even artist that had nothing to do with Rock and Roll. So anyway, I agree. Change the name and please, please, please, built a new one with rules that does not include what THESE PEOPLE are putting in!

[@joedez454]

One of the greatest songs ever. The melody is incredible.

[@bluarcher5941]

these guys were amazing and even now I hesitate to say that they got the recognition they truly deserved.

[@tomrockhill8634]

Always loved the unique sound of this song. Brings a smile to my face everytime😁

[@winniejohnson5559]

So true. Although the Isley brothers sang their version of this song perhaps two years later and their version was a hit, Seals and Croft’s original version was and is My favorite…

[@johnsmythe6134]

RIP, Jimmy. A great talent has now gone to a most beautiful place. I am going to go grab My guitar and play a medley of all of the tunes I learned 40 years ago from You and Dash. Condolences to Ruby and the kids. Love You, Buddy. -Smythie

[@Angrybogan]

I feel exactly the same way. This song came out when I was a kid but was still being played when I was a teenager.

[@keithhh488]

Takes me back to 14 years old not care in the world, going swimming in pool with friends and chasing girls, oh what great memories !!!!!!!

[@infinera06]

Dash expressed the exact sentiment I feel about the song. Back when it came out, I was a kid then, but felt something that I could not pinpoint. Now hearing the song reminds me of the time back in 72.

[@howardkleger3]

Yes. It creates an experience that's unique to the time, Could be its self reflecting dynamic that identifies or is an example of the riddling juxtapositions that compose and typify a time travel conundrum. Its musical synesthesia also serves as a counterweight against its pop identity, which inhabits a more conventional environment.

[@gscott7504]

I share your sentiments. I've always loved this song. So young at the time but this song made me feel something that was so calming.

[@roberttaylor90y76]

Great song also covered by theIsley Brothers in 74 .Both versions bring back memories of the 70s.Sad news of the passing of Jim Seals.

[@sueellenmcgoey8708]

Makes me long for the simpler days of the 70s

[@danielmeadows1114]

This song takes me back to the 8th grade,some good times,and some bad things going on,but this song always made me feel warm and secure inside, it still gives me a happy feeling inside, I miss the 70’s,much simpler times

[@tana5098]

Me too. Too much unrest and chaos these days. Not good for humans or the Earth to struggle as we do. Simpler times and a slower way of life is better.

[@amaliagayondato7971]

Seals and Crofts, One of the best duo. Love their songs. ♥️♥️♥️

[@petegarza2025]

1972...I was only 13 at the time but I remember this easy listening classic like it was yesterday...Those were the days when everything seemed fine...Not a worry in the world and really do miss that time in my life... Thank you"SEALS and CROFTS"for giving us "SUMMER BREEZE"...One of my all time favorite songs...👏👏👏...🎤🎤🎤...🎸🎸🎸...

[@jerrywichterman7796]

My goodness takes me back as a kid growing up in the 70s.. What memories, thank you for sharing ! ❤

[@anne-mariepeter1926]

Always loved this song! Takes me to a peaceful place and time! A fabulous duo!!!

[@tana5098]

I agree. The music of the 70's was so beautiful and filled with loving memories of people, places, and the feeling of carefree days and endless opportunities for fun. I truly wish now was like this. I miss civilized society as it was then. People were more neighborly, kind, and polite. What has happened to humans now? Too fast paced and too much technology distracting us from interacting as social animals. Can i go back and live in the 70's permanently? I sure wish I could. 😔

[@jimzeleny7213]

50 years after the fact and it's still timeless

[@terriroman6136]

This is perfection!!! Absolutely love this song!!!! It takes me back to a simpler time and all the beautiful flowers in my yard and how they smelled. Beautiful summers when I was a child. Love Seals and Crofts!!!!! Ever since I was a teen in the 70"s and 80's!!!! Their voices melt together perfectly!!!! They are truly one of a kind!!!!❤🙂👍RIP Jim Seals❤🙏

[@johnbrock6116]

So so privileged to have grown up with this timeless music and this amazing duo... Spine tingling harmonies....

[@raymondsanchez9898]

Walking in my favorite Record store "Forever Young", found Seals & Crofts COLLECTION, Wow haven't stop playing songs on LP. Really Brings Back Memorizes ,,,,of 70's ... And they're Texas Boys, Yes Sir ! ! I think We Need Music like this Now...

[@tana5098]

Yes. So true. More songs about love, caring, and kindness. Do you know the song, "What the World Neds Now is Love, Sweet Love." It was sung by Jackie Dushannon I think. Listen to what the lyrics say. This song should be the anthem for 2022. We humans all need to go back to loving one another and stop the fighting. Too much bickering about nothing, listening to lies on MSM, and fighting about political party affiliation. It's all a ploy to divide us. As a famous political leader once said, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." When i hear music from the 70's, it reminds us that we are all together as one. We need to be reminded of that fact today! We have more in common than we think. Much blessings. 🙏 😇⛪️

[@enriquebernabeplatero7232]

Old memories... Fabulous song... Harmony and delicate feeling...

[@ChristopherCudworth]

That line about coming home to a woman waiting without a care in the world is precious beyond measure

[@craigwhite1291]

This song is timeless.

[@DD-hy1nl]

Dash's words back then is truly is what I needed to hear now, today in 2020..With all the stuff going on with Covid 19 and the riots these past few months..Summer Breeze is such a beautiful song..It brings me back to a place just as Dash describes it. And this why I like this song too!

[@tana5098]

Amen to that. 🙏

[@bryanlucas1969]

RIP, Crofts. Love this song.

[@gadsdonflag4289]

My wife and I got married in October 1972 and this song was on the radio back then. Hearing it now takes me back to those beautiful Fall days in Spokane Wa. and to top it off....we're still married after all these years! How many people can say that now days? ;-)

[@Bonnie-TheHealingChicken-jy8gp]

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!

Makes me homesick for summers in the 70’s and my hometown!

Amazing song; a big part of my youth. RIP Jim.

[@glynisjones8128]

AWESOME song!!! Timeless.

[@alaneisenberg1438]

A modern day classic.

[@fumingriley]

Crofts is right, I remember this song as a kid and it does take you back to those days which for me were a gentler kinder time. The lyrics describe what could have been happening in my neighborhood on any summer day back then, easy and safe and simple.

[@soilacantu8675]

Summer breeze, great song❤

Oh the memories..........always dug this song!!

[@paulmcwilliams1709]

I love this song. It reminds me of Summer in my old neighborhood and the honeysuckles that smell great in the breeze.

[@aldonapolitano5979]

I got to see them twice. Lucky me! You can't attend a Seals and Crofts concert and not smile.

[@glynisjones8128]

Awesome duo!......still enjoying to this day.......2021.

RIP JIMMY SEALS. WHAT A GREAT LEGACY YOU LEAVE.

[@bigfan7330]

2 singers, 3 instruments (many thanks to the piano man!), sounds as good live as in the studio, that is true musicianship!

[@MrSgtSniper]

Remember driving by Eastwood lake where they were playing out side. Just got out of Army.

[@noelbowerman1562]

This ,song I loved it immediately when I first heard it in the early 70's ,the feelings it imparts has never left me.

[@user-qr3kh9zm2v]

I had the pleasure to see them in concert. I loved the music!! Sad to hear of Croft's passing 🙏🏽 to his family.

[@campbellpaul]

This song holds those feelings to me also. Great tune.

I love this one

Summer Breeze was the theme for our Jr Sr Prom in 1978. I was a Jr in high school, and we decorated our gym. What a great memory.

Nice. Thanks for posting this great song from a great act. Love Seals and Croft God Bless

[@SunnyIlha2]

ancient bard-like sound the acoustic flow, the dynamics, the chords, the whole thing, with exception of the chorus, nearly sounds like a continuous bridge

[@deckenneth]

Simply perfect.

A huge fan since 1973.

Love the 8 string yuke sound there

[@georgevangordon9728]

I’d spend hours listening to Seal’s and Croft’s didn’t have a clue what the lyrics were about until recently.. what I did know was their harmonies we mesmerizing and the lyrics made sense to me

Yes this was a great song but it also came from a fabulous album.

[@michaelbarlow6610]

@Bryan. I agree that the "Summer Breeze" album by Seals & Crofts is a much better album than it has ever received credit for ! One of my favorite songs on that album is the overlooked and greatly underappreciated song, "East of Ginger Trees"!

[@dorothycogswell5160]

Perfect summer song

[@petewood1569]

A magic year!

[@patriciamckenzie1726]

I was 12 when this song was made , the lyrics were the easiest to learn . I would sing it all day with my mom humming along.
