Seals and Crofts put out a pro-life song/album in 1974: Seals and Crofts: Remembering a musical plea for life

[Magnum44]

Love their music. RIP.

[Cboldt]

I hated Summer Breeze when it came out. Have come to appreciate it. Very well done song.

RIP.

They were known for their harmonies. One of the best harmony duos of their day.

“Seals and Crofts put out a pro-life song/album in 1974”

I didn’t know that, makes me like them even more.

Summer Breeze. Heard it first time in January of 1972. Always loved it. Great hippie song.

Sad......this was my favorite song of theirs:

I wonder if Jim Seals repented for “Summer Breeze” on his deathbed.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Do "rule" and "soft rock" belong in the same sentence?

Did the Ray Conniff singers "rule" elevator music?

Aww...may he RIP! They happened to be performing a small outdoor concert in the’70’s, while we were vacationing in Vail CO. They were great!

Growing up in mid 60s, I was never a fan of Seals/Croft - their sound was so dull & boring vs MUCH better singer/songwriters of the late 60s/70s.

That said, “Summer Breeze” was playing in the background of a very special & romantic evening in my off campus room at UofCincinnati with a petite blonde who had a striking resemblance of a young Olivia-Newton John.

So when I hear “Summer Breeze”, it brings back very fond memories...

Ah, Community College.. They were interesting fellows. There is a Ba’hai Temple on the way to the Lake, and I thought about them often passing it.

RIP....summer breeze is one of the all time great songs.

We’re losing some of the roots of our musical life. Simply heartbreaking.

Seals & Crofts were so much more than just "Summer Breeze." They were pro-life, pro-peace, pro-human race, and they wrote & performed heartbreakingly beautiful music. Here are two, "King of Nothing," a sad lament about life, and "Ruby Jean & Billie Lee," a moving tribute to their wives:

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned “Hummingbird.” It’s a gorgeous melodic song and my favorite Seals & Crofts tune.

I was at California Jam in 1974 but I don’t remember seeing them. I really wanted to see Deep Purple and The Who, which were the top billed bands. We left during The Who’s set because we were exhausted. We’d been up since 4 am, stood in line for 4 hours to get in, and ended up with major sunburns while we sat on the field listening to the music. I developed my lifelong aversion to crowds after sharing that experience with 250,000 ppl.

[NWFree]

I had greatest hits on an 8 track 🤪

Hummingbird don’t fly away fly away 🎵

RIP

Met him in 1976.

Very kind to me.

I testify, O my Lord, that Thou hast enjoined upon men to honor their guest, and he that hath ascended unto Thee hath verily reached Thee and attained Thy Presence. Deal with him then according to Thy grace and bounty! By Thy glory, I know of a certainty that Thou wilt not withhold Thyself from that which Thou hast commanded Thy servants, nor wilt Thou deprive him that hath clung to the cord of Thy bounty and hath ascended to the Dayspring of Thy wealth.

There is none other God but Thee, the One, the Single, the Powerful, the Omniscient, the Bountiful.
