"Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts

Dash Crofts, famous as one half of the soft rock duo Seals & Crofts with Jim Seals, died on March 25, 2026, at age 87. The cause was complications from heart surgery. I cannot say that I am a huge fan of Seals & Croft, although I have always liked their music. They were very successful throughout the Seventies and into the Eighties. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1969 and was followed by eleven more albums. They had considerable success with singles, with "Summer Breeze," "Diamond Girl," and  "Get Closer" all  going to no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. They took a hiatus from music in 1981 and reunited from time to time afterwards. 

Here is what may be their best known song, "Summer Breeze.' As mentioned earlier, it was a hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It would later be covered by The Isley Brothers and Type O Negative, as well as other artists.
