Dash Crofts

Dash Crofts and his longtime musical partner, Jimmy Seals, both grew-up in Texas and started performing together in the late 1950’s. Before they struck out on their own as the legendary duo Seals and Crofts, Dash and Jimmy performed with several bands and musicians, including Dean Beard and the Crew Cats, The Champs, Eddie Cochran, Glen Campbell and the GC’s, and The Dawnbreakers. Through their connection with The Dawnbreakers, the two found the Baháʼí faith, which ultimately influenced the lyrical creativity in their songs. The duo formed Seals and Crofts in 1969 and landed their first record deal with Talent Associates, but it wasn’t until their second album with Warner Brother in 1972 did they find their way to a major hit with Summer Breeze. From that point forward, Seals and Crofts sold millions of albums and is considered one of the most successful duos of the 1970’s.
