For those of us in that time era , it was magical fun . This band was at their peek they provided a unique sound track that was different . If you listened to the so called soft / pop rock , you where a wimp . Today not so ; tunes like this take me back to an innocent time . Rock was still King of my musical taste but the modern contemporary music sound I grew into and I enjoy to this day . Oldies just seem to stick around With the variety of music today and you-tube is a temporary relief of the woo's of the world today . And yes you and I miss those grand ol' days . 03/30/2022

[@stephenlandry9343]

@@Chaomhainn Oh for sure rock was king. I was a young aspiring rock star myself. With my guitar. I never became a rock star but did play professionally for about 10 years. You're also right about if you listen to soft rock you would be labeled. I am guilty of harassing some people for listen to soft rock but it was a joke. Because with my girlfriend who liked it and I wouldn't admit it but I loved it too. Lol back then we walked around like hard rock fans. To be totally honest rock was easy to learn. So most of the time I was trying to learn to play and sing the great singer song writer stuff. Now when I play to relax its all I play besides my own song. Yes seal&crofts, John Denver, America jim Croce and so many more. Now soft rock and original music in that same vibe. I guess I acted like a Rock-n-Roll punk trying to be cool. But I still can't believe how cocky I was. Well time change and I still listen to rock but I rather hear those great acoustic songs. The only difference is I'm to old for that foolishness. Thanks for your reply!🙂✌❤👍

When music was music.

[@seekingwisdom8]

Harry Nilsson released “Lime in the Coconut” in the summer off 72, the same time Seals and Croft had a hit with summer breeze. In addition, the Doobie Brothers would release “Listen to the Music” as a single that fall. Who’s Next came out in 1972, as did Fragile, by Yes. And I can’t forget Jethro Tull and Thick as a Brick. As the 60s came to an end, I didn’t think music could get much better than the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Association, and so many other bands, too numerous to list. For me, the greatest music came out between 1970 and 1974. That is not to ignore the many great bands and solo artists who provided the soundtrack for my life through the 1980s.

I never met James Seal, but I met his brother right when he moved from pop to country music - Dan Seals - probably in 1985 or 1986. What a talented family!!

Sad to hear of Jimmy Seals' passing. My first concert was Seals & Crofts. I was about 13 or 14 years old. I purchased my own ticket at the ticket booth outside of Washington Park Race Track (horses) in Homewood, Illinois. My ticket was for the fourth or fifth row slightly off of center stage. Yes, that was on the main floor! No such thing as Ticketron back then. Can't do that today. To say that this show was great would be a major understatement. The lights, the sound, the crowd, and famous people performing on stage. I didn't need reefer to get high. It was the whole experience that was so special. One thing I remember is at one point Jimmy Seals hit an odd high note during one song. At the end of that song he explained that he took a breath in and swallowed a gnat which got a mixture of laughter, and ewws from the crowd. Some years later this venue burned to the ground. Being a kid I didn't follow the news, but in retrospect I wouldn't be surprised if the mob were responsible.

I remember going into the Jolly Roger on Sunset one Sunday morning - and there was Seals and Crofts having breakfast with some friends. And that's my best Seals and Crofts story.

Listening to this classic and I’m thinking….thank God I’m old enough now to have been young enough back then….

Jeff was unbelievable, such a grove and always in the pocket

[@erinradke5672]

I still to this day get tears when I think of Jeff leaving us all way to soon. the things he could have brought to the music world are so sadly missed. the best thing about technology and you tube is let let us remember all of the greats that have left us to soon but their music can live on for all generations to learn from.

They are another artist that is always overlooked for the Hall of Fame. They are fabulous and should be there.
