Best music ever! I was born in 79' and grew up with the old music from the 70s and 80s. Now I can't even turn on the radio unless it is a classic station. There will never be music like this again....except maybe in heaven.
Then the national debt was under 500 billion dollars and you could hitchhike around the country. Now the national debt is over 15 trillion dollars and you wouldn't want to hitchhike two miles. Help us, dear Jesus.
all these comments are so right on! i grew up when music wasnt so commercial, although the music even the seventies was crusin right into the diaster it is now though the nineties music wasnt too bad because it was trying to lean on the seventies in some way, but this music here and all of the variety the seventies offered was wonderful and todays music cannot live up to that with the wrong people running the music business...
MTV screwed up the entire music business...and Sony has them in the Back pocket...there is no longer artist development...and therefore no more real music...anyone can take a microphone and stick it in their ass and be a star...or between the boobs...and it works...I hate the music of today...and avoid it as much as possible...Long live the Live musician...
I saw Seals & Crofts in July 1978 at the Carowinds Amusement Park Paladium near Charlotte, NC on the NC/SC border. This was the last number that they performed. They said, "Thank you, all" and immediately left the stage. No encore.
Saw these guys in concert in 1977. One of the mellowest, upbeat concerts you would ever see. They are real showmen and know just how to play the crowd.
"Laughed Out Loud" at RomanticWarrior's comment...seriously, though, I work at a community college and just don't see the crazy romance going on now like when I was that age and I chalk it up to the lack of love songs these kids didn't have the fortune to grow up on...quit texting her and KISS her already!!
Anybody heard a tasteful musical interlude in anything coming out nowadays? I haven't. It seems like the bare minimum of music is made so that the vocalists can dominate everything - a la American Idol.
@cobaltgoldgoblin, If you were there in the 70's and older than say...8 or 9, you could relate to these two wonderful people. They were 'with it' and conveying the spirit of the time with a sound and style which is signature of 72'-74'. They are odd only if compared to today's pop stars who are not creative and are generating nothing memorable or significant.
there was no better time for music you lived it ,you were it. life was place to get lost in.you could feel ever note .the 60s & 70 s will for ever be with me i,m glad i got the chance to grow up some of the best music on the plant
Where are the shows like the MS where you could see the artists play their music? Hell, where are the artists who actually CAN play their music? Hmmmm....come to think of it, where IS the music?
@romanticwarrior97 They're out there, but they not getting heard. These days, withno talent hacks like Rhianna and Britney spears lip-synching onstage and zoomin up the charts, the appreciation for live music has sunk to the value of bird shit.
@romanticwarrior97 My thoughts exactly. I think a lot of the stars from the 70's need to go personally bitch-slap all the current pop-stars. I'm embarrassed by what people consider music these days.
Seals & Croft definitely were jazzin it right out in this live performance...something about Diamond Girl reminds me of what we heard a few years later from Steely Dan!
I always loved the walking bass line and the brass parts (not included here) because I played the sax. I asked a friend in the band to teach me the bass guitar part, after I listened to this on the stereo with the bass turned high.
Super cool, I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores.

You know, it wouldn't be a big deal if it was just a bunch of old geezers complaining about how the "good ol' days" were better. BUT, that's not what's going on. A HUGE percentage of all people over 15 years old are complaining about the state of pop culture right now. The simple answer for the change isn't so much that culture has changed, but that ECONOMICS have. Still, OBVIOUSLY there's STILL a big market for quality, if someone could just tap into it.
Man, going to the record store...or a big dept. store w/your parents and sneaking away to the record section so you could browse through all the great LP cover art and hopefully the band put a photo on the back so you could see them. But, back then it was ALL about the music and the talent was endless. You bought the album for the bands you liked, and a 45 single for the songs you liked.
I was born in '92 but have always been envious of people who got to live through some freakin' awesome music. Safe to say though, I help to keep this music alive by groovin' to it each day ;3.
70s ohh ya seal an crofts.. queen.. eagles..dobbie bros..blood sweat an tears..steely dan..three dog night..earth wind an fire..badfinger..boston..Bee Gees..donna summer..steive wonder..marvin gaye..elton john..abba..pink floyd..10cc..bob marley..led Zeppelin..bill withers..CCR..michael jackson..BTO..supertramp..lynyrd skynyrd..america..KC and the sunshine band..so many more 70s was pure gold..
Too bad, Dan Seals was so sick, while he and his brother, the other Seals being seen in this video, were working on an album together! I bet you it was going to be fantastic, and maybe I should check to see if some of, or all of, the songs haven't been released yet! Peace and Love, BobbyK
i remember, as a child during the 70's trying to stay awake till late so i could see the great acts that appeared on The Midnight Special. like these guys. great time and even greater music.. i miss it.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
@shelleylavacca oh yeah the midnight special don kirhsners rock concert i can remember in high school going to a concert every week and these were big time bands now they are playing at casinos
I graduated high school in the spring of '77. The 70's era of music was one of personalized self expression devoid of cookie cutter music of the 80's and 90's. I'm sure everyone has their favorit es but the '70's so powerfully bring back so many good memories. I'm sure there's a reason for that.
We always go in cycles with everything we do in this country. Popular culture does the same thing over and over. We have a renaissance, then we are in the doldrums, then a new renaissance, where expression reaches it's peak. We will be at the good point of this cycle shortly. Trust me though there are always good, talented, expressive artists that go unnoticed in every era. I'm also not from the above era, but damn I love Seals& Croft.
I saw them in 1974,they took the time to preach thier faith,every one on the floor was respectful,but the concert was ,and always will be rememberd as nothing short of perfect. to have seen them live,was to have heard musicianship,at it,s finest,they played blues,jazz,,dash crofts is also,a very fine drummer,and jim seals,at one time was the texas state fiddle champ,by no means was thier show repeditive,and thier acoustic sets were flawless.
I think the 70's was a great era for all music. We crossed boundaries, we listened to it all....pop, metal, folk, country, and yes, disco! It was a universal time for music. We listened, we danced, and we loved it all <3
@itsme1963 Oh you are sooooo right.WE DID listen to it all, (and try to dance to it all) lol and I think THAT is part of WHY things started to change for the better then. Sure there were the idiots that were racist, but the majority of us WANTED to get to know other people, races, religions, cultures and so forth - we listened!
OK,,, so I don't get it. There's no DJ, people are actually singing, and what are those weird looking things with the strings they're all holding?? LOL. (Hopefully it will never come to that, but some days when I listen to most of the crap on the radio I have my doubts.) ;^)
These guys were and are the "shit"! Such good harmonies, jazz riffs, thoughtful words and phrasings. Would love to see more of them in their later lives.... time to come out boys! Miss and love your music! Thank you!
@Reesche type in seals and seals and you will see some good vedio of jimmy seals and famous brother dan known as 1 of the duo england dan and john ford coley sadly dan passed away from cancer this year but good vedio of the brothers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@TheGrabsplatter Louie Shelton is the guitar player. Louie was a session guitarist and once had played on 6 of the top 10 hits in one week on the US charts.
I believe the 60s counter culture gave way to the exposure of great talent of 70s including Rock and Jazz. With time the money machine recording companies turned our music culture into "one hit wonder" puppy mills producing and pushing (for the most part) cheap, sell out, freak show, vulgar, and grotesque mockeries.
I like the difference between this and the released version. The latter emphasized the harmonies and instrumentals of the two leads. On this you can really hear what a strong rhythm section they had. The drummer's great and the bass line really drives the song.
Haha when AM Radio Ruled the world!!!!. When i was 8yrs old I fell asleep with the ear phone of my little transistor radio jammed in2 my head every single night falling asleep to the great music of this time. Thanks for posting, takes me back. No wonder one of my ears is stretched out of shape.
I was working at a real estate office in Hendersonville, tn and this man called and said his name was Dash,. I joked wit the agent he was calling for that it was too bad it wasn't dash crofts..a few days later she took me to a small home just around the corner and inside was DASH..he was so nice and I have a picture of him and I in his temp home in front of a wall holding many mandolines..he was so sweet..Glad I had the chance to meet him

@afamreport I agree except I don't think the 60s were more diverse than the 70s. You just couldn't get more diverse than the 70s. Rock, Pop, Disco, Funk, Jazz Fusion...etc etc....
My memory was America was going through a very dark period (Deja vu perhaps/). What with our losing in Vietnam, Nixon's resignation and a whole host of other problems and than this song comes along and made me for one feel as if the world was not ending after all.
look it,s real people playing real instruments no sound machines no gimmicks i whish there was still bands around that were touring like these guys !!!!! i,m so sick of lady ga ga and the britney spears garbage aleast they have talent
DoB 1951..so I am really dating myself.....yet I grow older gracefully..and by far this is this best music going....It was great loving teh 60's 70's..not too much into the disco 80's however.

I'm 41 so the 70s happened when i was a young girl ,but i don't think that there was a better time for music.The music now is so commercially driven and all about the all mighty dollar its filled with violence hate and sex ..no feeling or heart is put into it like the music from the 70s..yea there was the drugs and this and that but nothing like now.
@sugahface I read your comment (highest rated comments) - it couldn't have been said better. So very true. Wow, you really put it perfectly and succinctly. I enjoyed the quality, heart and intellect of your comment.
@sugahface you are so correct. Other than the big band era, there is no better time for the music industry. 50s and 60s were phenomenal and a great transitional period for the 70's. Great instumental and lyrics that you can still understand and relate to. Can't say much for music after that. 80s til present is like a hit and miss period. My parents even sang and danced to the 70s music and I am 54.

disco sucked. I hated disco with a passion and all the dumb clothes and dances. I was a bad company fan and so anti disco.

I saw them in 1974,they took the time to preach thier faith,every one on the floor was respectful,but the concert was ,and always will be rememberd as nothing short of perfect. to have seen them live,was to have heard musicianship,at it,s finest,they played blues,jazz,,dash crofts is also,a very fine drummer,and jim seals,at one time was the texas state fiddle champ,by no means was thier show repeditive,and thier acoustic sets were flawless.

I think the 70's was a great era for all music. We crossed boundaries, we listened to it all....pop, metal, folk, country, and yes, disco! It was a universal time for music. We listened, we danced, and we loved it all <3

@itsme1963 Oh you are sooooo right.WE DID listen to it all, (and try to dance to it all) lol and I think THAT is part of WHY things started to change for the better then. Sure there were the idiots that were racist, but the majority of us WANTED to get to know other people, races, religions, cultures and so forth - we listened!

OK,,, so I don't get it. There's no DJ, people are actually singing, and what are those weird looking things with the strings they're all holding?? LOL. (Hopefully it will never come to that, but some days when I listen to most of the crap on the radio I have my doubts.) ;^)

TheGrabsplatter 1 year ago
@TheGrabsplatter Louie Shelton is the guitar player. Louie was a session guitarist and once had played on 6 of the top 10 hits in one week on the US charts.
I believe the 60s counter culture gave way to the exposure of great talent of 70s including Rock and Jazz. With time the money machine recording companies turned our music culture into "one hit wonder" puppy mills producing and pushing (for the most part) cheap, sell out, freak show, vulgar, and grotesque mockeries.

I like the difference between this and the released version. The latter emphasized the harmonies and instrumentals of the two leads. On this you can really hear what a strong rhythm section they had. The drummer's great and the bass line really drives the song.

@afamreport I agree except I don't think the 60s were more diverse than the 70s. You just couldn't get more diverse than the 70s. Rock, Pop, Disco, Funk, Jazz Fusion...etc etc....

My memory was America was going through a very dark period (Deja vu perhaps/). What with our losing in Vietnam, Nixon's resignation and a whole host of other problems and than this song comes along and made me for one feel as if the world was not ending after all.

I'm 41 so the 70s happened when i was a young girl ,but i don't think that there was a better time for music.The music now is so commercially driven and all about the all mighty dollar its filled with violence hate and sex ..no feeling or heart is put into it like the music from the 70s..yea there was the drugs and this and that but nothing like now.

@sugahface you are so correct. Other than the big band era, there is no better time for the music industry. 50s and 60s were phenomenal and a great transitional period for the 70's. Great instumental and lyrics that you can still understand and relate to. Can't say much for music after that. 80s til present is like a hit and miss period. My parents even sang and danced to the 70s music and I am 54.
