Was he in Seals & Croft too?
All I remember was “I’m not talkin bout the linen....”
Too young.
That was his older brother.
“And I don’t wanna change the lights.”
*snort* One of my FAVORITE movies!!
Apparently Dan Seals was the younger brother of Jim Seals, who was in Seals and Croft. I missed seeing them in concert in 1975, at Southern Miss, cause one of my best friends got married that night, and my brother and I sang at her wedding.
What sad news. Aside from his work with John Ford Coley, his solo works were good, especially his westcoast aor sound from the early 80s.
I thought that was “I’m not talkin’ ‘bout linoleum...”! ;-P
Prayers for his family.
Dang, that’s too bad.
Wow. Grew up listening to Seals and Croft and ED & JFC. Sad.
Wow. Really liked him, especially his song “Everything that glitters” I think that’s the name of it, real big hit.
He had some really good songs, both as England Dan and his later country career. “Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold” (mid-80’s, country) is one of the most haunting, heartrending songs I’ve ever heard. RIP.
Hello, yeah, it’s been a while.
Not much, how ‘bout you?
I’m not sure why I called,
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
And I was thinking maybe later on,
We could get together for a while.
It’s been such a long time,
And I really do miss your smile.
I’m not talking ‘bout moving in,
And I don’t want to change your life.
But there’s a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I’d really love to see you tonight.
We could go walking through a windy park,
Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see, it really doesn’t matter much to me.
I’m not talking ‘bout moving in,
And I don’t want to change your life.
But there’s a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I’d really love to see you tonight.
I won’t ask for promises,
So you won’t have to lie.
We’ve both played that game before,
Say I love you, then say goodbye.
I’m not talking ‘bout moving in,
And I don’t want to change your life.
But there’s a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I’d really love to see you tonight
I always heard “i’m not talking about millenium.”
That was a great song. I never knew that was "England Dan."
