Dan Seals dies of Lymphoma at 61

[lizziegrace]

"Dan Seals, who enjoyed successful careers in both pop and country music for more than three decades, died Wednesday. He was 61 years old.

Seals battled mantle cell lymphoma, and according to sources had recently undergone an experimental stem cell transplant at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. He died at his home in Nashville, while under hospice care.

Born in McCamey, Texas, Dan Seals was the brother of Jim Seals, of the hit pop duo Seals and Crofts. The younger Seals soon followed in his brother's footsteps, forming a singing partnership with John Ford Coley. The duo scored a number of hit singles on the pop chart throughout the '70s as England Dan and John Ford Coley, including the No. 2 hit, 'I'd Really Love to See You Tonight,' and a Top 10 cover of Todd Rundgren's 'Love Is the Answer.'

9. Oh no. He did several songs I really love.

My favorite was "Addicted." I always sing a harmony to his melody when I'm listening to it.

Others I love:

"Meet Me in Montana"

"They Rage On"

"Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)"

RIP, Dan.

12. My dear CreekDog!

Thank you for posting that...

It was lovely.

:hug:

13. I'm glad you liked it. He wrote it with Bob McDill, probably the greatest country songwriter

it's amazing to me that this song was a top 10 country music hit (in '89). it is so thoughtful, so slow and so unlike what you hear on country radio today.

thanks for listening Peggy. :hug:
