We sure did! ✌❤ Coolest people, chill, free, wild clothes, could say anything - we got a joke and knew who the assholes were. Now - you have to zip loc your mouth!
Just heard Jim Seals passed away on Monday. Seals and Crofts were part of the fabulous soundtrack to my 70s childhood. Goodbye Jim, we will never pass this way again. Godspeed. RIP.
When this song was released in September of 1973, I was so broken hearted. In 1967, I fell in love with the prettiest girl in St. Charles High School. I was too scared to ask her out until our sophomore year. Life was wonderful throughout high school. We both went to the University of Missouri. Everything was fantastic. Then, during the summer session before our junior year, she fell in love with another boy. I was devastated. She wanted to date both of us. I tried to warn her that everyone said her new guy was a player. She claimed that he truly loved her. I was skeptical. But, being a fool, I agreed that she could date both of us. I didn't want to lose her. So, I shared her with him. For two weeks. Then, one day, we were headed to my dorm for some private time. About a hundred yards from Hatch Hall, I stopped and turned to her. I told her that I couldn’t do it anymore. She asked what I couldn't do anymore? I said that I could not continue to make love with her in the afternoon, knowing that she was making love to him in the evening. She warned me not to make her choose. She said that I would not like her choice. That told me everything that I needed to know. I kissed her, wished her well, and then said goodbye. I walked into Hatch alone. I did not see her or speak with her again for three years. That month, this song was released. Every time I listened to it…I cried. They were engaged in only six months. They were moving fast. The wedding was to be the following summer. The summer we had planned to marry. They were to be married in only fourteen months…unbelievable. The weekend before the wedding, he dumped her. He just walked away. He never loved her. He had used her for just one thing. She was devastated. For a brief moment, I thought we might have another chance. Then I remembered Thomas Wolfe's novel…”You Can’t Go Home Again”. I realized that we both had moved on. Thomas Wolfe was right. You can't go home again. I promised myself never to speak to her again. For both our sakes. Two years later, at Christmas time, I was at my Mom’s house back in our small Missouri town. The phone rang. Mom said it was her. Mom asked me if we were dating again. I replied, "No, Mom. We're definitely not dating. Trust me." I took the phone. She talked like we were old friends, as if nothing had ever happened. Remembering my promise to myself, I moved to end the call. As I said goodbye, she interrupted me to ask me to go to Midnight Mass with her. I was dumbfounded. I knew what she was doing. Since I was a former Altar Boy, she knew that her best hope was asking me to attend Midnight Mass with her. I froze. She asked again. And again. I just couldn't speak. Finally, she said, "Reid, please accompany me to Midnight Mass. Reid, please." After some more silence, I did say yes. When I went to pick her up, I saw the most beautiful woman in the world. When she smiled, I realized that I still had feelings for her. In spite of everything, I still cared for her. Two years later, we were married. 42 years together. One fantastic son. Lost her in 2019 after her four year struggle with breast cancer. My son and I miss her so much. I joke with him that it’s a miracle he’s alive because of the many twists and turns of his parents' courtship. Just before she died, she told me how she regretted picking the wrong boy in 1973. And how glad she was that we did eventually marry. I held her so tight. I had loved her ever since I met her on that first day of our freshman year of high school, in Mrs. Gray's homeroom biology class. She allowed me to walk her home later that week. By the time we reached her house, I was in love with her. Intelligent. Gorgeous. Kind. She was an incredible sweetheart. I knew that day that I wanted to marry her someday. At the time, I knew that was very unlikely. Very few people will marry their high school sweetheart. But, I did hope that it would come true... someday. Every time I hear this song, I remember how my world came to an end that September of 1973. The month this song was released. I so believed that the two of us would never pass this way again…together. Thank God I was wrong. I will always love you, Lynnett. Reid.
We sang a four part version of this in my high school chorus. Everyone really loved this song and learned it really well. It blew the audience away when we performed it…one heck of a song!!
Jim Seals was a dear friend of mine. What an incredibly humble, kind human being! Miss him everyday, but so thankful that I can hear his voice through recording.
Friend of mine was a room attendant in NJ-Atlantic City and met them. Said they were genuinely really decent-nice folks. We need real music and decency again!
😢 you're right...we won't pass that way again. I hope this music is in heaven... the best times and the best music. I'm glad I got to experience the 70's...
Something about these guys that brings a tear to this old mans eye! I remember getting out of Army in the 70's and driving a sports car across the US listening to their music over and over again!
Funny.. I bought a Triumph Spitfire around 1981, it had an aftermarket 8 track that had Seals and Crofts Greatest Hits stuck in it.. I never bothered to fix it.. just left it and when the radio couldn’t get any stations.. it was all I listened to.
Lovely comment sir. Those of us that grew up with this quality of music, were fortunate to be around. Interesting side bar, these guys were part of the B'hai faith.
I grew up with this music, Diamond Girl is another favorite of mine. I now see just how good early seventies easy listening top 40 was--but, at the time, it wasn't considered cool, progressive, or innovative so not everyone admitted to liking the genre. (They secretly listened to it anyway....usually in the car.)
Though our days are growing shorter, I wouldn't trade anything for having lived during some of greatest music ever created from our generation. Long live rock!
Smiling thinking about that good old GE clock radio. Thought I was living in the space age 😂 Open the window and put it on the window sill so we could listen to music in the backyard. Cutting edge 😂
My buddy told me this was our theme song too, but I graduated early and joined the United States Marine Corps. May 1974, I was saying goodbye to my cute girlfriend, before I deployed to Okinawa. This song came on the radio and she cried like a baby. Semper Fi
@@randybliss6480 go to your high school unions, they are great. After you get over the shock of everyone gaining weight and the guys losing their hair, then its fun. I was the same way, we have one every 5 years. Our 50th is coming up in the Summer of 2024. My class loved to party back in high school and some are still partying today. Stay safe, greetings from South Charleston Class of 1974, in West Virginia. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
Yes, the songs we listened to were the best. Well crafted words set to incredible music. They reflected that beautiful, simpler time you're talking about, Pamela. I'm not sure I want to go back in time, but I wish people today could be more patient and understanding and respectful to one another like they were back when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s.
Incredible song and performance for the ages. The music industry doesn’t promote artists and songs like this anymore. If they did, the world would be a much much better place.
RIP Seals...As a young girl in the 70's I felt a strong connection to you guys and you music..At 59 I still do...So missng those Summer Days crusing the beach listening to your beautiful music. I will always think of you at Sunset Seals...Godsped
Possibly two of the greatest artist to ever live,......the music they made is so pure and so perfect, not afraid to admit within the first few seconds of this song no matter where I am or what I am doing, the emotions flow and I break down. music that can do that is on another level. Thank you Seals and Croft for giving us this gift of your musical genius.
Me too….sitting here in tears now and not sure if it’s because it makes me happy or sad. I can say I wish I was back in East Tennessee in 1974. Famous words: oh if I could only do it all over…..it would surely be done different.
I agree with you - we need the love and peace to return big time, but there’s a lot of great artists and great music still being created just won’t find it on mainstream radio these days.
COOL ! - I too was a Top-40 D.J./P.D. 1970-1993 WBSR - Pensacola, Fla. (Scott Morgan) WDLP - Panama City, Fla. (Scott Morgan) KAAY - Little Rock, Ark. (Steve Scott) WROA - Gulfport/Biloxi, Miss. (Steve Scott) WABB-FM - Mobile, Ala. (Steve Scott) I'd love to go back & do it all over again (exactly the same way !!) Steve Scott (Morris) - W5BIB (now 74 years-young !)
Brings me back to the magical and sad days of my youth. My brother Jeff, graduated and passed away in the summer of 1974... so for me, this song is timeless. He and i never did pass this way again.....
Rest in Peace Jim Seals. I always loved the music that you and Dash made. The world will remember you every time they hear your voice. Sing with the angels with all of your heart. RIP.
The day before Jim Seals passed, (Sunday) I was listening to We May Never Pass This Way Again feeling quite reflective. It was sad to hear that he will no longer be with us except in spirit and song. This song has always reminded me that time is passing by quickly and that one must not hesitate to take advantage of all that life has to offer.
Just heard that Jim Seals passed. ☹ R.I.P. Jim. We are all so grateful for the wonderful music that you and Dash gave us. Our "Summer Breeze" this year will definitely remind us that "We may never pass this way again". Thoughts and prayers go out to the Seals family in their time of loss.
RIP, Jimmy. Musical GENIUS. You're in a beautiful place now. You guys were magic on that stage 40 years ago. I am going to go play a nice cover of this song, then "Hummingbird", then "Summer Breeze". You taught Me well, Sir, You were one of a kind. Condolences to Ruby and the kids.
I'm a 67 year old man living in Iowa. These guys are lifetime Baha'is. Me, too. Never had the honor to meet Jimmy Seals, but I sang with the Tennessee Baha'i Choir in the late 80s, and sometimes we would rehearse at the home of Dash Crofts. Fond memories.
In '73 I was a young American living in Guatemala. Several Baha'is lived there too and I became quite close to them. Bob Porter (and his wife Marci) were California transplants, now making their home in Central America. Bob had been a successful trumpeter and arranger in L.A and was now an in-demand player in the local recording scene. One of his sons, Robbie, eventually went on to have success on his own working with the likes of Carlos Santana. Also, Betty Zingali was a Baha'i working a the bi-national center in Guatemala City (which is where I worked as well). Wonderful folks who were there to witness for their faith. They all knew Jim Seals and Dash Crofts quiet well and spoke highly of them. Personally, I always felt their music was as close to pure divine expression as music ever gets.
@@gcharouhas Hi. I wrote the original comment. Thank you for sharing your uplifting experience. Sounds to me like you have a good heart, a seekers heart. I wish you health and peace of mind.
Both you guys done Texas proud, helping define the broad '70s sound and an amazing decade of music. Thanks for all the memories your music created a soundtrack for. RIP James Seals October 17, 1942 - June 6, 2022.
The first time I heard this song was at 1:35 AM driving home from Nashville TN. My older brother had just played his very first show on the Grand Ole Opry, we were in his Camaro with two other friends. I was driving and everyone was asleep. The message of this song sunk deep into my soul and it made me think of how important that very moment was, that night and what had just happened in my brother's life. It was AM radio and I heard it three more times before we made it home. When I found this , I was instantly transported back. Thank you Carissa Ciociola for this post!
We will never pass this way again. Sad sad reality.. I don't know of it's just me but I wish almost everyday to go back in my highschool life and live it all over again.. life is just so hard as an adult.
I have lost my beloved Father, my Dad, my best friend and one of the only people who truly touches my life, he is survived by my only brother and my beloved Mother, who is just besides herself, I want the world to know about this man and the plain fact that he made the world a better place ❤❤, RIP John love your daughter
It sure hits home. i just had my 50 year school class REUNION and i put this one together because 18 of our classmates have passed away and we will never pass this way again. Farmerville High School Class 1972.
RIp Jimmy Seals, your voice was golden. You and Dash were marvelous with your beautiful Melodies and tremendous harmonies. You will never be forgotten. I miss you already..😪😪
True we my never pass this way again. Great song back in those days and still is. Tell them you love, care for them. God bless you'll. Read your Bible. True
Jesus Christ is Holy Lord God, Creator of All that exists, & Every Single Nucleus of Every Atom in existence. He simply "Spoke All of Creation into being!" WoW! Such a Mighty & Loving Kind Lord we Love & Serve. And, to think, His own will see Christ call all of existence back into Himself, & observe Him speak it all New, with No Sin & No Time existing, just as Father planned the first time. 😎C'ya here, there or In The Air! CJ-4-JC always
Maybe not another, but another duo, contemporary to S&C was John Batdorf and Mark Rodney - Batdorf and Rodney. Similar acoustic folksy stuff but sadly, Batdorf and Rodney didn't seem to get the same traction that Seals and Crofts did at the time.
And we can’t pass this way again. We can’t go back to the sweet times of the 70’s ever again. It’s gone forever. We just didn’t appreciate what we had back then.
A long time ago I was lucky enough to sit right in front of these two fantastic performers. Funky Quarters had some fantastic music and this was one of the best acts,
This one really brings back lots of memories for me! These guys were at their peak right at the time I was really getting interested in music in my early teens~
Beautiful song. All we have is right now and we can never go back to the past even though we may be in the same place. Went back to the house I grew up in, but it was no longer home, it was just a vacant house. That song is true, we may never pass this way again so make the most of each moment because its all you got.
Our Generation had the best music, hands down !!
facts
We sure did! ✌❤ Coolest people, chill, free, wild clothes, could say anything - we got a joke and knew who the assholes were. Now - you have to zip loc your mouth!
YES we definitely did….
Totally agree!
Totally agree 💯👍
It’s May 2024 - 50 years and still listening. I will never stop listening ❤️👏✌🏼💯!
Just heard Jim Seals passed away on Monday. Seals and Crofts were part of the fabulous soundtrack to my 70s childhood. Goodbye Jim, we will never pass this way again. Godspeed. RIP.
I did not hear this. Thank you . You don’t hear much about either of them anymore. RIP and thank you for blessing us with the voice of an Angel.
Sad… RIP, his legacy and art will last forever
Rest in Heavenly Peace!
God bless you Jim...
Jim Seals was a member of the Baha'i Faith.
The music of my youth never gets old. Such pure talent.

My God, I've got tears in my eyes. It must be some consolation that you two were meant to be and had so many years together.
😅
What a beautiful story. :)
You, my friend were truly blessed!
Wow! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
No auto-tune. No overblown production and pyrotechnics to make up for lack of talent. Just the sheer, honest artistry. Brilliant.
@@blairsterling6141 born in 1980, and i completely agree, i wish i couldve lived in the 70s :(
We won't have great music like this for another century or two. We'll be dead by then.
Enjoy my friend - we will never see this again in our lives .

They Spectacular
Friend of mine was a room attendant in NJ-Atlantic City and met them. Said they were genuinely really decent-nice folks. We need real music and decency again!
Nearly 50 years have passed since this song was popular. And you will never pass that way again.
yet, here we are, together again.
So right u are
We shall too if we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it
Who do I thank for that?
😢 you're right...we won't pass that way again. I hope this music is in heaven... the best times and the best music. I'm glad I got to experience the 70's...

I can sense being there with you. I got out of the Navy in 75 and did a lot of driving myself.
Lovely comment sir. Those of us that grew up with this quality of music, were fortunate to be around.
Interesting side bar, these guys were part of the B'hai faith.
If you had a radio on in the 70s you were going to be listening to them.
It really was a mystical music era. The air was electric you could feel it. A special lovely time.
Yeah.. it certainly was. We may never pass this way again.
Beautiful way to describe that time.
Sure was. Miss it.
Unfortunately, people like myself took it for granted but instead should have savored the moment in time.
Frank Jennings…
it sure was
I Remember them like yesterday.....I am now 63 years old....what wonderful, soulful music....they were WONDERFUL.....THANKYOU!
Same here
Does anybody else miss the music of the 70s and 80s. Anything is better than this crap they play nowadays. Seals and Crofts very underrated

RIP Jimmy. Everything about this song is beautiful.
I 100%agree
Still sound great in 2022! Great harmonies and song arrangement. R.I.P James Seal
Our generation certainly won’t pass this way again but what a glorious time we had!
Though our days are growing shorter, I wouldn't trade anything for having lived during some of greatest music ever created from our generation. Long live rock!
dudes were straight up poets with grade A acoustic guitar skills and smooth vocals.
Back in the day when a cheap radio was enough. Good music flowed endlessly and everything was good.
Smiling thinking about that good old GE clock radio. Thought I was living in the space age 😂 Open the window and put it on the window sill so we could listen to music in the backyard. Cutting edge 😂
Got that right. AM Top 40, FM progressive rock and R&B. Good times.

The 70's , 80's ,and 90's were amazing. So sorry for all of you who didn't live in this period of time when life was really worth living
Golden! :)
Agree, but those who grew up after think that their music is better because it "evolved"...
Still a brilliant, beautiful gem of a song! Pure artistry here!
transported to a more beautiful time, to a past simpler time, well-fitting. i wish to go back.
Yes, the songs we listened to were the best. Well crafted words set to incredible music. They reflected that beautiful, simpler time you're talking about, Pamela. I'm not sure I want to go back in time, but I wish people today could be more patient and understanding and respectful to one another like they were back when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s.
I would love to go back to 1968, knowing what I know now.....
So true. This song brings back a memory of a single young me out in the world away from family on my own and in love with life and the world.
Please please, take me with you. I’m ready to go home.
No, I would go back in a Heartbeat! And just stay in the 70's... So Beautiful! And the Music, was The Best!
This song is gorgeous. Transcends time.
Incredible song and performance for the ages. The music industry doesn’t promote artists and songs like this anymore. If they did, the world would be a much much better place.
you're so right
Because they don't make talent like this now.
Too true, it seems unless you have a big butt or preordained wardrobe malfunction nobody wants to know you.
This song came out at the right time. We needed a gentle song with inspiring lyrics.
@@stewartbates5533 not that there's anything wrong with either one of those, just in their place.

Time was so much simpler then. This music is timeless.
Isn't it wonderful that we can still remember them and see them performing on youtube. Brings back some lovely memories of great songs.
Possibly two of the greatest artist to ever live,......the music they made is so pure and so perfect, not afraid to admit within the first few seconds of this song
no matter where I am or what I am doing, the emotions flow and I break down. music that can do that is on another level. Thank you Seals and Croft for giving us this gift of your musical genius.
MASTER MUSICIANS
I’m right there with you friend. This song just stirs so many conflicting emotions.
I so get that
I break down whenever I hear this song. And Hummingbird
Me too….sitting here in tears now and not sure if it’s because it makes me happy or sad. I can say I wish I was back in East Tennessee in 1974. Famous words: oh if I could only do it all over…..it would surely be done different.
Wish these guys were still playing. We need beautiful and peaceful music in today's depressing times.
I agree with you - we need the love and peace to return big time, but there’s a lot of great artists and great music still being created just won’t find it on mainstream radio these days.
From the distant pages of my life comes another beautiful song.
This song is the 1970's sound,love hearing the SOUND!!
This music and time is like a soft breeze passing through in the windows of my young mind
You plagiarized that line from Summer Breeze!
In the mid-70's, these guys brought me peace when I needed it most.
Indeed
they're bringing me the peace now that I didn't need the '70s
Graduated in 1974 and this was the song picked by the senior class to be played at the end of the ceremony. Priceless.
And I was a Top 40 radio station DJ! The best years of my life!
That's awesome! I dreamed of being a DJ. Here I am, near retirement, I still think about it.

Go back n start over 😢 this time. Think through 😮
Just heard that Jim Seals passed. ☹ R.I.P. Jim. We are all so grateful for the wonderful music that you and Dash gave us. Our "Summer Breeze" this year will definitely remind us that "We may never pass this way again". Thoughts and prayers go out to the Seals family in their time of loss.
Jim Seals left us today. I hope his passing was peaceful. Thank you for your music, Jim.
Dudes could write, play, sing. Great performance.
It would be great if we could pass that way again, i miss the 60s - 90s. 😢
One of my favorite songs growing up in the 1970's!
I hear you. My fave is "Diamond Girl." Takes me back to my boyhood.
Odd voice. It was unique & I loved it. I want more. Is this how every generation feels ???
RIP, Jimmy. Musical GENIUS. You're in a beautiful place now. You guys were magic on that stage 40 years ago. I am going to go play a nice cover of this song, then "Hummingbird", then "Summer Breeze". You taught Me well, Sir, You were one of a kind. Condolences to Ruby and the kids.
I'm a 67 year old man living in Iowa. These guys are lifetime Baha'is. Me, too. Never had the honor to meet Jimmy Seals, but I sang with the Tennessee Baha'i Choir in the late 80s, and sometimes we would rehearse at the home of Dash Crofts. Fond memories.
In '73 I was a young American living in Guatemala. Several Baha'is lived there too and I became quite close to them. Bob Porter (and his wife Marci) were California transplants, now making their home in Central America. Bob had been a successful trumpeter and arranger in L.A and was now an in-demand player in the local recording scene. One of his sons, Robbie, eventually went on to have success on his own working with the likes of Carlos Santana. Also, Betty Zingali was a Baha'i working a the bi-national center in Guatemala City (which is where I worked as well). Wonderful folks who were there to witness for their faith. They all knew Jim Seals and Dash Crofts quiet well and spoke highly of them. Personally, I always felt their music was as close to pure divine expression as music ever gets.

This is one of the Finest Duos of all time .
True
This was the class song at my High School in 1974. Ill never forget it!!
Hello Cecilia, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Both you guys done Texas proud, helping define the broad '70s sound and an amazing decade of music. Thanks for all the memories your music created a soundtrack for.
RIP James Seals October 17, 1942 - June 6, 2022.
Bring these guys back. Life will be better... for sure.
I love this music .
The first time I heard this song was at 1:35 AM driving home from Nashville TN. My older brother had just played his very first show on the Grand Ole Opry, we were in his Camaro with two other friends. I was driving and everyone was asleep. The message of this song sunk deep into my soul and it made me think of how important that very moment was, that night and what had just happened in my brother's life. It was AM radio and I heard it three more times before we made it home. When I found this , I was instantly transported back. Thank you Carissa Ciociola for this post!
We will never pass this way again. Sad sad reality.. I don't know of it's just me but I wish almost everyday to go back in my highschool life and live it all over again.. life is just so hard as an adult.
Damn terrific singers and songwriters
I have lost my beloved Father, my Dad, my best friend and one of the only people who truly touches my life, he is survived by my only brother and my beloved Mother, who is just besides herself, I want the world to know about this man and the plain fact that he made the world a better place ❤❤, RIP John love your daughter
I am so sorry. 😢
It sure hits home. i just had my 50 year school class REUNION and i put this one together because 18 of our classmates have passed away and we will never pass this way again. Farmerville High School Class 1972.
RIp Jimmy Seals, your voice was golden. You and Dash were marvelous with your beautiful Melodies and tremendous harmonies. You will never be forgotten. I miss you already..😪😪
Magnificent Masterpiece, very very beautiful piece of music, one of my all time favorite songs from Master Musicians
Continue to be amazed at the complexity of their arrangements. Pretty impressive. Loved them as a young man. Still love hearing them.
Was born in ‘71! Thank God 🙏🏼
This song touches my heart 💓 & soul🙏
Class song for my high school class. Brings back some great memories.
Mine too.
My class song also 1983 California
1974....Our Class Song was Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce
My junior prom was summer breeze. Great simpler times.
I was living in Germany when these guys were on the radio, excellent music.....
True we my never pass this way again. Great song back in those days and still is. Tell them you love, care for them. God bless you'll. Read your Bible. True
Jesus Christ is Holy Lord God, Creator of All that exists, & Every Single Nucleus of Every Atom in existence. He simply "Spoke All of Creation into being!" WoW! Such a Mighty & Loving Kind Lord we Love & Serve. And, to think, His own will see Christ call all of existence back into Himself, & observe Him speak it all New, with No Sin & No Time existing, just as Father planned the first time. 😎C'ya here, there or In The Air! CJ-4-JC always
Back when music was real and your spirit knew it 😢
Can't beat the music of the 70s and 80s.
RIP Mr Seals. Just read the news of his passing. The music lives on and soothes the soul.
Greetings from New Zealand.They don't make music like this anymore.
Saw these guys on Carson and could not believe how good they were live. In concert, the same way. What great memories of them!
I miss this group ,,, it was like a summer night at the beach an will special memories were made ,,,damn I miss those days
Outstanding vocals and harmony. There will never be another Stills and Croft
Seals sir…:). And Crofts….:)
@@jimmatherly honest mistake. England Dan's Bro.
You compliment might have been better if you’d just gotten _either_ of their names correct!
james seals the brother of dan seals of England dan and john ford coley. and darrelle crofts.
Maybe not another, but another duo, contemporary to S&C was John Batdorf and Mark Rodney - Batdorf and Rodney. Similar acoustic folksy stuff but sadly, Batdorf and Rodney didn't seem to get the same traction that Seals and Crofts did at the time.
I lived for music back in the day...I love this album
Jim has gone to a summer land. 😔 sad
Our 1974 Class Song and we graduated in May of 1974! Perfect class song!
Mine too, Class of 1976.
Rest in peace Jim Seals!
Such great harmony and good music! No fluff....just good stuff!
He will be missed!
Sooo beautiful, my heart aches, thanks guys, peace to you forever in each lifetime you go through.
RIP Mr. Seals. The impression you made on me lives on!
Beautiful...one of their best.
High school memories of the seventies
I was born august 1974, this was before my time but I truly love Seals and Croft.
I really loved these two country gents singing together
I still have this album they produced.Really Beautiful!💜
RIP Jim Seals....RIP Seals & Crofts.
And we can’t pass this way again. We can’t go back to the sweet times of the 70’s ever again. It’s gone forever. We just didn’t appreciate what we had back then.
RIP Jim Seals. 80 yrs old. You will live on.👍
You will never pass this song again, Rest In peace Jim Seals ☮️🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
A long time ago I was lucky enough to sit right in front of these two fantastic performers. Funky Quarters had some fantastic music and this was one of the best acts,
This one really brings back lots of memories for me! These guys were at their peak right at the time I was really getting interested in music in my early teens~
I love this band I miss them so much I would love to sing along again
Songs that take you back to a stage in your life you would love to return to but impossible to do😎✌🏻
You captured it.
R.I.P. Jim Seals. Thanks for the great music and all memories associated with them.
Beautiful song. All we have is right now and we can never go back to the past even though we may be in the same place. Went back to the house I grew up in, but it was no longer home, it was just a vacant house. That song is true, we may never pass this way again so make the most of each moment because its all you got.
In case everyone forgot this is what music really sounds like
Great music!
I was 5,and remember hearing these songs and dancing around .I am now
52 and still love this group.
Love their music.. great minds!
RIP Jim Seals. Your music affected so many.
