Requiem for a soft rocker....Light of the world, shine on me...

Singer, songwriter, and mustache afficianado Dan Seals of the 70's duo England Dan and John Ford Coley (pictured above, Dan on the right) passed away from lymphona, a form of cancer, yesterday. ED&JFC were the subject of my first "true" blogpost, and for that they own a lil' ole place in my heart. With songs like "I'd Really Like To See You Tonight", "Love Is The Answer", and my personal favorite "Nights Are Forever Without You", they were all-guns for the late 70s.

Nights Are Forever Without You - England Dan & John Ford Coley

Love Is The Answer (Single Version) - England Dan & John Ford Coley

After that, Dan returned to country music, and had great success before the "hat acts" of 1989-1991...Some people don't even know this is the same guy...





Rest in peace, and thanks for the tunes...

Added fact, Dan's older brother Jim was also in a self-named duo responsible for hits like this...
