Seals and Crofts were an American soft rock duo made up of James Jim Seals (born October 17, 1941) and Darrell Dash Crofts (born August 14, 1940). They are best known for their Hot 100 No. 6 hits Summer Breeze, Diamond Girl and Get Closer. The duo disbanded in 1980. They reunited briefly in 1991–1992 and again in 2004, when they released their final album, Traces. Both members have long been public advocates of the Baháí Faith. Summer Breeze is written and recorded by Seals and Crofts that has been covered by Type O Negative, The Isley Brothers, the Three Tenors, and several other artists. Released from the Summer Breeze album, Seals and Crofts original version reached number six on the US pop singles chart. Bruce Eder of Allmusic referred to it as one of those relentlessly appealing 1970s harmony-rock anthems, appropriately ubiquitous on the radio and in the memory. One of the distinctive backing instruments on Summer Breeze is a childs toy piano. The single reached #6 pop, #4 easy listening on the U.S. Billboard charts in autumn 1972. youtube/watch?v=DTv0K2SUlCY
