Jim Seals, who teamed with fellow musician "Dash" Crofts on such 1970s soft-rock hits as "Summer Breeze," "Diamond Girl" and "We May Never Pass This Way Again," has died. He was 80.
Seals' death was announced Tuesday by multiple people including John Ford Coley — who formed the '70s duo England Dan & John Ford Coley with Seals' older brother Dan — and Seals' cousin and fellow musician Brady Seals. Further details were not immediately available.
Seals and Darrell George "Dash" Crofts were Texas natives who had known each other since they were teenagers. They started Seals and Crofts in the late 1960s and over the next several years were among a wave of soft-rock groups that included America, Bread, and England Dan & John Ford Coley.
Seals and Crofts had three top 10 hits: "Summer Breeze," "Diamond Girl" and "Get Closer." Their other popular songs included "Hummingbird," "You're the Love" and "We May Never Pass This Way Again."
