Seals and Crofts were an American soft rock duo made up of James Eugene Seals (October 17, 1942 – June 6, 2022)[1][2][a] and Darrell George "Dash" Crofts (born August 14, 1938)[5] They are best known for their hits "Summer Breeze" (1972), "Diamond Girl" (1973), and "Get Closer" (1976), each of which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Both Seals and Crofts were publicly outspoken advocates for the Baháʼí Faith. Though the duo disbanded in 1981, they reunited briefly in 1989–1992, and again in 2004, when they released their final album, Traces.[6] Seals and his younger brother, the charting singer-songwriter "England" Dan Seals, later performed publicly together as Seals & Seals.[7]
