Jim Seals, of soft-rock duo Seals and Crofts, dead at 80



(CNN)Jim Seals, one half of 1970s soft-rock duo Seals and Crofts, has died at the age of 80, according to his family.

Seals, together with musical partner Darrell "Dash" Crofts, was best known for hits such as "Summer Breeze," "Diamond Girl" and "Get Closer."
Announcing his death on social media, Seals' relative Brady Seals -- himself a singer-songwriter -- wrote: "I just learned that James 'Jimmy' Seals has passed. My heart just breaks for his wife Ruby and their children. Please keep them in your prayers. What an incredible legacy he leaves behind."
The musical duo -- who met in their native Texas in their teens -- got together in the late 1960s, according to the UK's PA Media news agency. They ranked among a wave of soft-rock groups of the era, including Hall & Oates, America and Bread, as well as England Dan & John Ford Coley.

Playing on the radio, while driving down the road with the windows open, and singing along.
