  • tengo 25 años y esa musica no de mi epoca pero es hermoza y con sentimiento

  • Those white folks in the audience sure do get excited don't they ??

  • I'm 16 and I'm here in 2012 looking for music with feeling ^.^.

  • I'm 16, and my generation has shit music.

  • To: gwenfraticelli1962; what is your problem? A nice song and nice memories. Warms a heart and you have to call someone a "cunt"? Really, wow. Get a boyfriend or a girlfriend and start living a pleasant life.

  • Look at you how pathetic and pitiful you sound; without the thought of burglars?????? did this just come about? read your fucking history, people have been robbing each other from the beginning of time..........What exactly did Cain want from Abel...........TO STEAL HIS SPOTLIGHT.........LMAO

  • @gwenfraticelli1962 this is just my memories of the 70's not a history lesson, now go troll someone else pathetic cunt

  • for all those young'uns that don't know one of my memories from this era was having your windows open at night getting that night air without any thoughts of a burglar.Just proud to be FREE PEOPLE!!!!!

  • reminds me of summer days at the beach.

  • more cow bell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great..... love this song... reminds of the time i lived on Aruba in the 70's

  • I'm a 14 year old kid, and I see how most of the people are calling this real music. I really agree, I love this song, and must've played it 50 times already. All the people growing up in the 60's and 70's were really lucky to live an era where peace was a common theme in music, and catchy tunes like this were everywhere.

  • Born in '61. This was it , memories. When life was good.

  • I always think of my mother when i hear this... we were driving in the car shopping as a kid, my mom never drove, it was my dad driving and this came on the radio and i said I liked it... so my mom uncharacteristically bought it for my birthday, or Christmas don't remember and i was whiny and complaining because didn't like it that much i wanted Beatles or something else. NOW i feel guilty every time i hear it because i made her feel bad for buying the "wrong" gift. Such a dumb kid i was.

  • land of the lost....yeah

  • Remember these guys on "In Concert" simulcast on WPLJ New York

  • This song will always remind me of the summer I worked at Hampton Beach.

  • Pure magic on so many different levels.

    A powerful memory from my younger days but now also when I listen to the combination of their string instruments (especially the haunting sound of the instrument on the left) and their truly enchanting vocal harmony is outstanding and pure timeless excellence.

  • Just makes me smile.

    

  • Good music...

    Good times...

  • yes i agree i got the isley version & it is tremendous but hey these guts wrote it eh?

  • sorry to say but Isley bros do better version

  • @TheDockerfan Most defiantly Isley Brothers do!!

  • The first concert I ever attended. Sacramento Memorial Auditorium 1973. Great times.

  • always great to hear this

  • is it me or does this tune appear to be more popular today (just look around at TV and movies) than back then. Somewhere all the time this tune is playing

  • My first time hearing the original version. It's so calm and peaceful! Love love love it. Makes me appreciate the Isley Brothers remake. They chose a wonderful piece to make their own. Seals and Croft yeah!!!!!

  • THIS GOES WAY BACK, I'M 51 . I LOVE THIS SONG1

  • my god. ten in 1973!! i was 6. i sure remember it 5 years later though. wonderful stuff!

  • Songs like this just touch your heart over and over and take you back to the early 70s when things seemed just easier, breezier and simpler. Summers were about having fun: hopscotch, skipping, marbles, riding my bike, swimming, hide and go seek, the ice cream truck, sunburns, and badminton!

  • I worked at the Western Michigan University DPS from '74-'79, they came for a concert @ Reid Fieldhouse in '74 and I had to listen to them and get time and a half. They put on an excellent concert!

  • I will never forget seeing -- no, experiencing them at Tampa Stadium one hot July summer night. Their music filled Tampa Stadium -- along with 50,000 people and some really good smoke. It was great. They opened for the Eagles. Now that was a great bill.

  • I agree, I was 11 when this song came out. I remember that summer like it was yesterday, Everyone would go to the City Park on Sundays, back then at such an early age, and a different time in life, everything seemed so innocent and carefree. This song will always take me back to that time in my life.

  • At first glance it looks like Lennon and McCartney, I thought maybe they reunited under S/C name but just speculative.

  • Cool !

  • The leafy green summers in Atlanta in the 70s, when the Braves were awful but the Chattahoochee River was clear and fresh, and full of young people floating down on intertubes sipping cold beers.

  • It's another one of them songs that evokes a certain feeling & atmosphere, it's hard to explain

  • Thank-you S/C for opening the door your freshness,you ARE the wind beneath our wings

  • Great summer song!

  • Thumbs up, if you remember the Scene in Dazed and Confused from hearing this song.

  • I liked Joan Jett & Blondie much better than this greasy hootnanny leftovers from the 60's.

  • @kennethj1956 LOL, moron he debuted in the 70's

  • @hotmn4u In 1958, Seals and Crofts toured with The Champs. Performed together throughout the 1960s.... 1969 made album "Seal& Crofts'.....Please don't personally attack people; it brings you way down.

    I remember Seal & Crofts throughout the 60's..........

  • listened to this cruisin in my 73 volkswagen beattle, Great song.

  • @irishmike1100 gee, love to cruise in that bug, I'll bring the hooch

  • Well ... if life is a random sequence of circumstances, this is one of the best outcomes of humanity I can fathom. Peace

    D.helton

  • I loved, and love this song of my childhood. A song that shows boundries but no boundries of youth.....!!!!

    If you grew up in upstate NY, you know what I'm talking about....LOL

  • I can remember when i hated this song. I was a child in children's hospital in Erie pa with leg perthies.  They use to play this song every morning it seemed. but now i have embraced this song and love what it was and what the staff was trying to help with the people in the Hospital. I thank all the people that got me thru those days as a young child. Love you all.

  • Ahhh! ...Summer breeze evenings. Playing hide & seek and tag with all the neighbor kids; hiding with a t'ween girl...... In the fun excitement she kisses and runs; Fun Fun Fun!

  • they were so far ahead of their time...its out of reasoning amazing

    ''

  • Great White Music!

    Absolutely the best for High School Reunions, elevators, grocery stores, doctor's offices, amateur night karaoke & wedding dances! Summer breeze is the BEST!.......... 100 thumbs up man!

  • I'm high.

  • I remember when I heard this song for the first time. It was the summer of 1973, and I was ten years old. It was a sweet,

    wonderful summer. I felt alive, happy, and free. I don't know why it was such a special summer - it simply was. In my mind, this song is forever associated with that incredible summer and the indelible memories I still have of it. I think the line 'blowing in the jasmine in my mind' from the song really expresses how that summer of '73 really felt to me.

  • @SuperTekZone I was 10 also and felt the same way! We played outside all summer long, no computer games back then, we enjoyed our life outdoors playing with friends.

  • @SuperTekZone I know! you're about my age. That was a fantastic time to be ten. Summer Breeze reminds me of those days too. You could still walk barefoot.

  • @SuperTekZone I so agree with you.. I was 9 living in NYC heading out to Long Island listening it on AM radio...Great times...

  • @SuperTekZone I remember that simple time too. Now, everything has to be "political correct", i hate that. i think the more things change, the more they REALLY change. Sometimes, LESS, is really more. I miss those days too. My folks hung out on Saturdays, drank Falstaff and had neighbors over for grilling and didn't care about anything but raising us kids to do the same. God forbid we should ever have those innocent days again. Screw Obama and the rest. Sorry PC folks.

  • @SuperTekZone Holy cow! I read this and I thought the same thing!!! I am a gemini, also born in 1963 just like you!!!!Well said my friend!!!I hear this song and it takes me back to simpler times..for me anyway.Sorry you older hippies.

  • @PongStar69 Well, I was actually born in '62, and I'm a Libra, for what it's worth.

  • @SuperTekZone I can totally get what you're saying..those were the days.Everytime I hear this song it just makes me smile..brings me back to such a happy time in my life.Nobody does music like this anymore..

  • @SuperTekZone I was eleven and it was a really unique time. I feel so sorry for the kids today. What do they have 'RAP'? What a complete waste of air. We had it good, but most of it is recorded. Whew! LOL God bless and enjoy.

  • @SuperTekZone If it seems like times were better back then, its because they were, ...they truely were.

  • @SuperTekZone No one cares.

  • @SuperTekZone I had a very similar experience to you, I could not express it better. We were very privileged to grow up in that era of quality music.

  • Sorry but rap and hip hop can't ever compare to this music! Never, just no harmony or soul to it as there is here in this one song.

  • @lonecoolman rap is not in anyway music , the c was broke on the typewriter when it was first printed. Music requires talent ( a gift if you want ) crap or rap doesn't require any thing , except shamelessness so you can hold you privates in front of people and not be embarrassed

  • @LES6723 Then you have listened to real rap, only the racist, corporately financed and promoted pop garbage that is aired on radio and tv. Especially, if you're referring to the crotch grabbing, Michael Jackson did that, too. I can't stand most country, but not so much that I can't recognize in real talent versus someone who can just imitate the sound and talk about drunken fights, cheating wives, and line dancing. Many country subjects are the same as rap subjects.

  • @Oristiumpier Then you haven't listened to real rap. My mistake.

  • ha I am always in the mood for some fun

  • This is when artists actually gave a damn about making GOOD MUSIC.

  • I was born in the wrong decade. This song never gets old!

  • :)

  • Amada CI, este álbum, Summer Breeze, fue grabado en 1972, un año muy especial en nuestra historia, amor de mi vida

  • One of my all time favorite songs. Never tire of hearing this. Thanks.

  • this song is universal. who doesn't want someone to hold them at the end of all long day at work.

  • how cute is he?

  • great  70's memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • his voice is the 70s!!

  • lool I love good company slow music candle lights

  • Real music from real musicians!! It's all over and gone now.. but damn those were great times. I came in on the end of it all...... but I lived in it, listened to it and cherish it now!

  • I feel Happy

  • When music was music. So many great song and groups back in the 60's through the 80's

  • Cindy and I sittin on beach in Santa Monica summer 1972 or 73. 19 yrs old. Really in love (grin) thryin to figure out how we could buy some wine... her uncle came to the rescue. Magic...pure magic!

  • "type o negative" covering this song.... is awesome too!!!!

  • when hwhite boys cover an Rand B hit they dont "whiten" it , they take it to a higher plain. the sound becomes more than a feel but a light.its too bad only few black listeners can catch on

  • This is music. This IS music!!!

  • Ok.. Were these a couple of homeless guys who someone felt bad for and gave a break to? That's pretty cool.

  • @starbreath100 if they were homeless they could not afford the instruments they were playing, yhey may have appeared scruffy but they were the real deal.

  • Otro clásico de cabeza ... diga.

  • What memories this song evokes.  This music and the glorious days of the early 1970s, its fabulous music and much better times.

  • @primogennaio

    Eleven years old and walking back from school in the afternoon. Early autumn leaves on the ground. The radio playing. 

  • Back when music made you happy that you were alive! Before MTV and other souless corporations started deciding what we were going to hear, see, and purchase... :(

  • Comment removed

  • @obbor4 Amen~!

    

  • @obbor4 As we used to say in the 1970's You Are So Right!

  • @obbor4 Yeah because the Ed Sullivan or Lawrence Welk Shows were total open mike nights with zero concern for advertisers

  • @mouldymcmould So they didnt have an obvious evil social agenda to push

  • @obbor4 mtv=hell!

  • @obbor4 Well put

  • @obbor4 Yeah man, and back when you were happy to be alive. I hate what the asshole governments and corporations are doing to this world. The shit is only going to get worse though, until the hope of our redemption is revealed.

  • boohoohoo

  • boohoo

  • holy shit, this is such a great song,

  • Awesome song reminds me of being young. Brings me to tears came out like 10 or 11 years before I was born but wow brings back so many memories. :(

  • yes 5lowroll my dad bought my mom a car for christmas i went to the dealership with him it was a 1973 pontiac lemans sport coupe it was 4700 and he was saying how cars were so expensive..he paid with a check in full...lol

  • See we have 22 idiots in the room.

  • Where are these guys now 2011??? how about a VH1 Acoustic reunion. thatd be nice. REST IN PEACE DAN PEEK OF THE BAND  "AMERICA"

  • i love this song .. perfect for the summer too ..

  • I must say. Having seen about half a dozen live versions now on YouTube (The future is wonderful!) These guys were so tight, it's unbelievable. I understand that after their string of hits in the seventies they ditched it all to join the Bahai Faith or something... Which just adds to their hippie authenticity to my mind... My theory is that their music was so commercially successful because there was truly a spiritual impetus behind them. & I must say, seems to be a few more likes than not here.

  • @rwestber I agree with you on on so many levels.  these guys helped bring the "Rose of our Youth" to our consciousness along with their sharp spiritual views. Really, does it matter what Faith they chose to belong to as long as its' aligned with their music and their consciousness?

    They will forever live within my soul and my heart...

    Love,

    Bridgette

    xooxox

  • Linda Música!!!!!!! Mil vezes linda!!!

  • Cette toune me réveille constamant depuis un bout, premièrement on la voi à la télé tous les jours...peu importe, ce soir j'ai compris...l'effet choc provient du fait qu'ils ont utilisé 3 octaves...

  • Who the hell could dislike this song!!!!!!

  • this song expresses true beauty. When i first heard this is cried. That's how beautiful music can be.

  • いいわ~すごい!

  • The bass player earned his pay on this one.

  • @clay523 You`re so right, man.

  • @clay523 I remember the Doors made their 'unseen' bass player stand behind an amp also and only play the root- notes. Paul mcCartney didn't see it like that . Paul could practically play lead on his bass.

  • @slightofffist  so true. listen to Paul on 'Something'. Brilliant is an understatement.

  • @clay523 I remember the Doors made their 'unseen' bass player stand behind an amp (also) and only play the root- notes. Paul McCartney didn't see it like that and could practically play lead on his bass.

  • And I come home from a hard day's work...and you're waiting there not a care in the world. Nice.

  • I have 21 new people to add to my shit list

  • Ted mosby favorite ballade

  • The bass player is apparently finishing his lunch at the beginning?

  • @Vampiracho - ehehehe... guess not. I think he's probably chewing gum.

  • Always reminds me of Dazed and Confused. Used to get a lot more air time on the radio. Miss old school music. TRU music.

  • I hate it when the isley brothers sing this

  • @marcoborota negro they hate you lol/? your nobody

  • @marcoborota I hate your the fact that your slut mom even had you.

  • @toreal03 See? all that hostility against people you've never met and all that, we didn't have that then. And it was really fun to be alive.

  • I enjoy very much. ... muuantab habis.

    Thanks ... hatur nuhun.

  • Could someone please upload, "Wayland the Rabbit". Thanks

  • 1 of the greatest hits in '70'smoo1 of my favorite songs @ seals and crofts

  • i like both this and the isley brothers

  • The 70's 8000 Cadillac and 7600 salary teaching

  • This morning I was deep asleep. Then, someone played this song downstairs on their iPod speakers. I hadn't heard this song in over a year, but it woke me right up. It's that amazing.

  • Type o negative did a awesome cover of this i recomend you all watch it now. OR ELSE !!!!!!!!!

  • great song does anybody know why we cant see to get better audio for this video and we may never pass this way again video posted?

  • it's funny on land of the lost

  • It sounds different without the horns or accordian.

  • I think my soul just jumped a little out of happiness.

  • we may never pass this way again (seals & crofts). aint it the truth!

  • @tommieparch already have...

  • @hazard3331 you mean u passed a time in ur life twice!

  • Classic

  • love the song but the experience is degraded by all the crap scrolling acorss the bottom...gggrrr

  • If you dont feel good listening to this song, you have no heart.

  • @walleyeking23 then 19 people have no heart.

  • Here's to summer!!!

  • Thanks so much for putting this up. Splendid!

  • 19 people don't feel the summer breeze

  • @gpuber I agree 19 people don't know what real music is, you just don't hear great songs like this anymore.

  • Is that Kyle Brock on bass? Their arrangments are so tight!

  • God when you listen to classics like this from the 70's and 80's you realise how much crap their is on the radio today!

    No wonder people keeping going back to the "oldies" for their music

  • @steveperryisawesome There was lot of crap on the radio in the 70's and 80's as well. And I'm sure if YouTube existed back then people would be leaving similar comments saying how the 50's and 60's were classics. This is a great song but that does not mean todays music is crap and there are some fantastic songs and artists out there right now. Listen to XFM rather than Capital.

  • @steveperryisawesome You are so right today's music is crap, only for the kids, that do not want to think and learn....!

  • God, I love Diamond Girl! <3

  • nice song

  • I grew up listening to the music of the '70s and love Seals, and Crofts, but also like the Isley Brothers' cover...it's all good....Peace Lady L.

  • the best~!

  • Love this song!

  • I actually like the album version of Jason Mraz's cover the best

  • Beautiful!

  • S&C nailed the lyrics, Type o Negative rocked the song.

  • Born in "1945" and like(d) this music.

  • I was only born in June 2010 and I am enjoying this experience. Truly great harmony.

  • this song is the best song ever :) and im born in 1997

  • One of best harmony ever
