About Seals and Crofts

Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts are two musicians from Texas who were immensely popular in the 1970's, and still honored today for their hits Summer Breeze, Hummingbird, Diamond Girl, We May Never Pass This Way Again and Get Closer. Their unique pop/rock sound was made famous by their incredible vocal harmony, songwriting and musicianship. Their music was also distinctive for their spiritual lyrics and themes, inspired by the teachings of the Bahá'í faith.

Although no true reunion is planned, Seals & Crofts recorded their first album together in over 20 years in 2004, entitled TRACES. The album features new versions of several hits from the 1970's, plus some newer tunes! S & C are in fine voice. Included are a total rearrangement of the hits, such as Get Closer (with Dash's daughter Lua and Jimmy's daughter Juliet). Some updated album cuts are added, such as Not Be Found and Euphrates. Another highlight is the previously unreleased "Change the Copper Into Gold" (inspired by the spiritual odyssey of Dorothy Baker), a mesmerizing song that ranks among Jimmy's best. A newer song also penned by Jimmy, "North Light," has been retitled and released as "Paint You." The album does not include the song "Traces," which was Jimmy's recounting of the ten Bahá'í women executed during the Iranian persecutions in the 1980's. That song was released in 1987 on a rare Bahá'í album, called Jewel In the Lotus. The album does, however, include a version of "Love Takes No Prisoners," which first appeared on Louie Shelton's cd, Hot & Spicy

Seals and Crofts are Jim Seals (born James Seals, 17 October 1941, Sidney, Texas) and Dash Crofts (born Darrell Crofts, 14 August 1940, Cisco, Texas), a popular soft rock duo in the early 1970s, best-known for their hits "Summer Breeze" and "Diamond Girl." They were also the most famous Bahá'ís of 1970s in the United States.

According to Billboard ratings, SUMMER BREEZE was ranked #2 among all albums charted during 1973. Number 1, a surprise in retrospect, was War's THE WORLD IS A GHETTO. An unreleased song from the SUMMER BREEZE recording sessions in July of 1972 was "Greying Eyes of Time."
