From: Summer Breeze ; Year: 1972; Genre: Folk Rock/Soft Rock Haven't the foggiest as to why I have Seals & Crofts on my mind today, but I always take it as a sign I should choose one from the artist(s). I believe this was the second single from their Summer Breeze record after the title track, which was a pretty big hit.    Hear Hummingbird on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Zapp - Computer Love   My song pick 2 years ago today: Primus - The Ol' Diamondback Sturgeon (Fisherman Chronicles, Part 3)   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Tubes - Talk To Ya Later   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Kinks - Good Day My song pick 5 years ago today: Elton John - Bennie and the Jets My song pick 6 years ago today: Stuart Hamm - Radio Free Albemuth My song pick 7 years ago today: Central Line - Walking Into Sunshine My song pick 8 years ago today: Zakk Wylde - Way Beyond Empty My song pick 9 years ago today: XTC - Travels in...

From: Diamond Girl ; Year: 1973; Genre: Soft Rock I had not heard this song for nearly 30 years now, or so it would seem, and I happened upon it and I got a flood of memories come to the surface. This is kind of a neat little soft rock track that really has a lot to offer if you listen to it closely. Hear We May Never Pass This Way (Again) on YouTube.

From: Diamond Girl ; Year: 1973; Genre: Soft Rock Been looking a bit at bands that I've only picked once or twice before, Seals & Crofts was one such band that fits that bill. The only song I chose from them thus far was about 10 years ago, so it's time for another. Anyway, I love the jazzy feeling of this song combined with their soft rock stylings they are known for.

I ran into this song yesterday on the radio while dodging commercials. Surprisingly, for a soft rock song the song is quite musical and listenable to a musician's ear; the arrangements and lyrics are quite a nice fit. Hear Summer Breeze on YouTube. Here is a live performance on YouTube. +
