I remember purchasing the “Unborn Child” album when it came out.

They are a great singing duo. Very talented. Could play all sorts of instruments too.

Had to look up to verify memory...

Both were from small town Ciso, Texas.

Saw them in a small theater in Charleston, South Carolina in 1975. Tom Rush was the opening act. Great times.

Met them back in the 70s.

Seemed nice.

I was never a fan of their music, but this story impresses me.

Most Bah’i that I have met answered alter calls at Seals and Croft concerts. They are good people, but on their way to a dark place. Jesus is the true and living God. His word is the truth, and the only way to get to God. Bahaulla was a false prophet.

Just gotta love those loving, tolerant Bible thumpers!

(well, actually, no I don’t).

Bahá'í is a spin-off from Mohammedanism, ... Muslim Lite.

Never knew that. Good on them.
Saw them at a music festival at Plant Field in Tampa ('74?).
Started with folk/pop music in the morning (Seals and Crofts, ARS, Joe Cocker), ended with Black Oak Arkansas followed by Ten Years After at the end of the day. Some interesting contrast.

Truth hurt? Regardless, the only thump you hear is Jesus knocking on the door of your heart. He never forces anyone, but only you can open the door.
