Sunday Morning Playlist: Soft Rock
Published July 03, 2005
10. Seals & Crofts: Summer Breeze
The duo of Jim Seals and Dash Crofts are best remembered for a brief spate of soft rock hits in the early 70's, but they also go much farther back than many people realize. They met while playing with singer Dan Beard in 1958; Beard and the duo then joined the Champs, whose 1957 hit "Tequila" predated their arrival by a year. they remained with the Champs through 1965; in 1969 they began a recording career as a duo. From 1972 to 1976 the band had five gold albums on Warner Brothers, and six top-20 hits. Their anti-abortion album Unborn Child in 1974 got them into hot water with much of their core audience, and their devotion to their Baha'i faith eventually sapped their commercial instincts; they were dropped by their label in 1980 and pretty much vanished into thin air. "Summer Breeze" was their first hit, and is one of their most enduring songs; it peaked at #6 in 1972.
