Pop troubadours Jim Seals and Dash Crofts
were musician’s musicians. Although their primary instruments were
guitar and mandolin, Dash also played drums and keyboards, and Jimmy
frequently worked out on sax and fiddle. Their heavenly harmonies on
songs like “Diamond Girl,” “Hummingbird,” “We May Never Pass This Way
(Again)” and “Summer Breeze” extolled the virtues of living simply, the
beauty of nature, finding true love and devotion to God. Despite the
fact that they had faces “made for radio” and precious little
traditional showbiz charisma to speak of, it was the musicianship and
the message which set their songs apart during their era and what makes
their emotionally heartfelt music still so memorable and pleasurable to
listen to today.
