The Isleys’ version did better in the UK than in the U.S., though I’m not quite sure why. The Isleys’ version is notable not only for the harmonies of the three vocal Isleys, O’Kelly, Rudolph and lead singer Ronald but also for the guitar solo by younger brother Ernie. Two years later, the Isley Brothers recorded their version which is more … um … sultry? More like soul music, I think. One thing I did not know about Seals and Crofts is that Jim Seals is the brother of Dan Seals, who was “England Dan” in the duo England Dan and John Ford Coley.
The song reminds me of the wonderful rut of family life - the coming back together at the end. We operate on a different level, we try to create images, impressions and trains of thought in the minds of our listeners.” Things seemed so innocent and hopeful and our family was intact. Our meaning goes further than that, for a prison can be the prison of self and a person can become insecure and paranoid if he doesn’t have a direction in his personal life. “A very simple song about a man coming home from work and hearing the dog barking and things like that, and to a lot of people the song’s about looking for security. 189K 31M views 13 years ago Music that stands the test of time, Summer Breeze by Seals and Croft released in 1972 and a number 1 chart topper hit. Released in 1972, this was their first hit single. Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts For starters, let it be known that Jim Seals and Dash Crofts, despite being Texans, adhered to a Middle Eastern, New Age belief system known as the Baháí Faith. was that by the writers of the song, Seals & Crofts, as in James Eugene “Jim” Seals and Darrell George “Dash” Crofts. Just depends, I think, on my mood of the moment which I prefer on a given day. Summer Breeze is one of those songs that has been recorded by two artists I like, very different sounding versions, yet I like them both. Seals did not travel the standard route to. I dug through my list of TBP songs (to be played), and came up with this one … Summer Breeze, featuring Seals’ lead vocal and lyrics, would also be covered by many others, including the Isley Brothers and Type O Negative. But, since soon enough we will be seeing the leaves don their autumn colours, smell the autumn smells, and already the Hallowe’en candy and decorations have filled the stores … I thought a nice summer song would be appropos tonight. Dont understand the meaning of the song Highlight lyrics and request an explanation. Summer is winding down … or so they say, though you couldn’t prove it by me, for it’s been hovering around the 90° mark here for days now. Tonight, I reviewed my archives and found this one that I did in September 2019, over two years ago, and I thought it might fill the bill until I get the energy to do a new one! I liked the idea, but hadn’t yet had the energy or the motivation to create another music post from scratch. A few days ago in another music post, I mentioned Seals & Crofts, and our good friend Keith wondered whether there might be a follow-up, a Seals & Crofts post, coming soon.
