Seals was born in Sidney and grew up in Iraan in West Texas.

He teamed up with fellow Texan Dash Crofts and the pair had a string of early 70s hits, most notably 1972's "Summer Breeze."

Seals was the older brother of Dan Seals, a Dallas Samuell High School graduate who was also part of another successful 70's duo, "England Dan and John Ford Coley." Dan Seals died in 2009 at the age of 61.

I did not know about the siblings being brothers and both being in famous groups

My favorite headline today was "Seals & Croft dominated the 70s soft rock charts."

Hard to believe he was 80. RiP.

Obviously, you don't know how to read English, it was Iraan Tx, NOT Iran, Tx.

Obviously, you have an under-developed sense of humour.

Was just listening to one of their LP's yesterday.
Rest in PEACE old fellow.

There was a lot of truly shitty popular music made in the USA during the 1970’s and Dan Seals bears a share of the responsibility.
