Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind
RIP Dash
Love their music and vocals.
Music back then was just that, music.
RIP
People played instruments, songs were written, singers sung - all good. Today they are auto tuned, music is electronic, no actual musicians are necessary, it's all theater.
Memory Eternal!
The “band” has become obsolete, now a performer onlneeds a purchasing agent to hire what’s needed. Or just AI.
This was played so many times on radio.
It brings back good memories.
RIP
What are you complaining about. After all, we got Bad Bunny to listen to.
Loved that song. I find myself humming the tune, especially in wintertime. Brings back memories. RIP.
We went to a wedding on Saturday. At the reception, no live band, just an ultra obnoxious “DJ” screaming and screeching over equally obnoxious, tuneless, melody-less “music”, boomba-boomba-boomba — all at 110 dB. Even the young people vacated the head-throbbing dance room.
seals and croft did more to bring the false Bahi religion to America than any other entity. They had alter calls at their concerts.
Remembering how they released a strongly pro-life song, “Unborn Child,” in 1974, and the pro-abort pushback was so strong that Jim and Dash ultimately had to disown it.
Always heard that as jazz band. Still do.
Never heard of it. Must not have had much of a congregation.
A religion famous for being viciously hated by Iran. A friend was Bahi for a while before he became gay.
