Dan Wayland Seals (born February 8, 1950 in McCamey, Texas) is an American
musician.
From a very music oriented family, his older brother Jim Seals sang with a
1950s musical group called "The Champs" who had a 1958 hit single with the
song, "Tequila" and who then teamed up with Dash Crofts in the mid-1960's to
perform as "Seals and Crofts". Dan Seals' other brother is country musician
Eddie Seals and he is a cousin of composers Troy and Chuck Seals and Brady
Seals (of Little Texas and Hot Apple Pie fame).

Taught by his father to play the upright bass, in high school, Dan Seals
joined with piano-playing friend John Ford Coley to perform as "England Dan
& John Ford Coley." The two would eventually have several hits performing
singing pop rock harmonies. They disbanded in 1980 and since then Dan Seals
has been performing as a solo artist.
Between 1985 and 1990, Seals scored 10 #1 hits, 7 of them consecutively, on
the country charts. His first #1 was "Meet Me in Montana", a 1985 duet with
Marie Osmond. His first #1 as a solo artist, "Bop", won the CMA Award for
best single in 1986 and had some crossover success as well; the song reached
#10 on the adult contemporary charts and #42 in the Billboard Hot 100. Seals
and Osmond also won a CMA award as Vocal Duo of the Year in 1986.
Both Dan Seals and Dash Crofts are members of the Bahá'í Faith and say that
they derive a lot of their inspiration from the Faith's Teachings. |
