Original can't be beat. Written and recorded by Seals and Crofts.
Unless it's The Beatles covering 'Twist and Shout'. 🙂
Seals and Crofts were more folk rock!! Totally enjoyable!!
@@realjaxon yes, or any songs Led Zeppelin covered.
@@kevanhill9948 ..Soul
Clear beautiful harmony from these guys. "Hummingbird" "Diamond Girl" a great duo.
for some reason when i was in labor the only song i found soothing was diamond girl i listened to it over and over again and it will forever remind me of having my daughter 🥰
Oh! Hummingbird is amazing!
Oh Hummingbird!!
Great choices ! I especially like East of the Ginger Trees"
“It’s more laid-back“. I was waiting for him to say it’s more like a Summer Breeze.
Harri, if you listen closely they actually used a child’s toy piano in this song✌🏻
Diamond Girl, We May Never Pass this Way Again, Get Closer, Hummingbird are all pretty big hits.
Oh my, just went back to my high school years... We May Never Pass This Way Again was our class theme.
I was introduced to Seals and Crofts via We May Never Pass This Way Again as the theme for Homecoming my freshman year of high school. I've been a fan ever since.
1975, it was our class son & played at our graduation 👩🏽🎓
I was a HS freshman myself in 1972. It reminds me of long evening walks in a Long Island summer.
Great singer songwriters. Diamond Girl is another big hit! Love their harmonies
This is the best version to me. Fell in love with this song as a child. I feel the 70s flowing in.
Two Texas boys...made so much wonderful music.
Is this just not the best? This has always been one of my all-time favorite songs! :) Keep On Rockin'
It is dee .
@@lauriekittle9459 well you gave great taste laurie
Mine Too! Brings Back So Many Beautiful, Carefree Memories! Just Love It! ❤❤❤
Aah the uncomplicated feeling of 70’s summers!
Brings back those care free days of growing up in the 70s. And I hear the subdued cowbell. Beautiful song.
I love both versions of this song. I think the Isley Brothers’ version is an incredible performance, but I think the Seals and Crofts version is more earnest. In other words, when Crofts was singing, I felt like he truly meant and felt what he was singing.
Jimmy Seals was lead on this...Dash on the choruses...
In an interview many years after the song was written and a success, Crofts talked about why and how he loved the song, and loved singing it many years later. It was great hearing him wax poetic about the song that we all love and never get tired of hearing! 😊
Remember this from high school listening on the dash mounted 8 track
One of the best groups ever!! Seals & Croft! Diamond Girl will be diamonds in your ears!
Both great versions, this one seems to be picking up some airplay lately!? Try " We May Never Pass This Way Again" by them!
Today is my 64th birthday. A wonderful tune from my youth. This song brings back many great memories for me. BTW...have you ever watched the movie 'Dazed and Confused' ? This song is one of many classic tunes from 1976 and earlier that are played throughout the movie. I highly recommend that you watch it, if you haven't already.
Happy birthday.
therealjaxon, Happy Birthday!... I have the movie on DVD. Takes me back to the 70's and the great summers I had with my friends back then.
Yes! Dazed and Confused is the greatest hang out movie of all time. Happy Bday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday 🎉🎈 My 62nd comes next week. What an awesome generation we are! 😁
Oh lordy...I haven't heard this song in ages. Had the album back in the day 🙃
I had it on 8 track! 😆
@@juliac8689 ugh! 8 tracks...we thought they were so cool even though you'd have to flip it over in the middle of a song! Lol.
@Jane 😊
I still have the album
Rest In Peace Jim Seals. Thank you for your gift of music
I stayed after their show and they came back out and talked about their faith, to the 75 people who stayed with me. Super down to earth people! Very much loved too!
This song brings me back to my childhood, best summers of my life in New Orleans. Mom had all the windows open. Breeze coming threw the screens.
🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤
This is such a hugely famous song. I’m shocked you never heard it. Lol. But I never knew that the Isley Bros did a version. I love them. I’ll have to listen to it.
Amazing song! I remember buying the record. Paints such a beautiful picture in my mind. ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦
One of my favourite songs from the 70s. IMHO, the best decade for music.
When I was a kid in the seventies, my mom and dad were members of the Columbia record club. Every month they would send you 4 or 5 new albums and you could keep what you wanted and send the rest back. Thank goodness they kept this Seals and Croft album!!! Great childhood memories.
This song just has POWER. Always has. Just an unexplained vibe to it.
Sadly, Jimmy Seals Recently Passed Away. So, I Have r Playing Their Music Quite A bit. Saw Them In Concert When I Was In College in The Early 1970's. They Were Awesome! ❤❤❤
I only know this version.. so obviously my favorite.
Love this song, reminds me of my first apartment after leaving home & getting married at 18. Standing in the kitchen listening to this song & a summer breeze blowing through the window curtains....great memories.
If the Isley Brothers covered your tune that was a huge compliment. This version was a hit for Seals and Crofts (1972) and it was a hit for the Isleys (1973) too.
Gosh this takes me right back to my sophomore year in high school, 1972
"Get Closer" is another great song by them.
Jim Seals is Dan Seals (England Dan and John Ford Coley) older brother.
Have a great day.
EDJF had a great song of their own -"I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" - ruclips.net/video/UuUVgKT4roQ/видео.html
England Dan also did, Love is the answer....great song!
@@juliac8689 Can't forget "We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again" and "It's Sad To Belong".
@@juliac8689 Dan did a beautiful (cassette tape) acoustic version ( Dan Seals not w/ JFC then)
A must have listen to summer song! Brings you right back to the easy breezy 70s summer days.
Great song as Summer winds down here up North. Love their song "Diamond Girl" also.
More Seals and Crofts Please. Excellent and under rated musicians.
summer evening..orange blossoms in the wind....1972 was a awesome time to be in high school and in love
Summer Breeze takes me back to my childhood and turning into a teenager to this song. The '70's were a time of gathering in groups when you were young. Since there were no devices and no internet, you went to see people, they came to find you, and everyone partied together! This song is the greatest song, by Seals and Crofts because you really did celebrate the "sweet days of summer, the Jasmine's in bloom July is dressed up and playing her tune", the simple pleasures like that are what make me love summer time and this song so much! Those were the days of doing anything you wanted to do, playing this song, combined with being with your friends and siblings, it was a time of coming together, back then and we loved it. I love the summer! Here, up north, we are still swimming in our pool in the bright sunlight over here, savoring the last few weeks or the last few days of summer. Next year, I will play this in the summer and we will dance again. Every summer, this song is put into the play mix here. Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the Jasmine in my mind! Seals and Crofts own this song and their simple lyrics are what everyone can relate to, in their lives, whenever summer comes along. Glad you found this song. Make it a summer favorite for the rest of your life, and you will be happy for a long time, my friends.
You've got to believe Seals n Crofts is the best. As a teen in the 70s when this hit the Air it just took me to a better place in my mind and soul.
for me, it is not summer without hearing this song...even in the winter. Now check out Diamond Girl and Hummingbird. Oh, and We will never pass this way again...
I love how it builds in the bridge and climaxes with the "ahs" at 4:42
My all time favorite. Summer Breeze makes me feel fine!
The Isely Brothers version is definitely more R&B. I was glad they kept the iconic riff from this song.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Heard it first as a kid and it still makes me feel the same. ☀️🌬
Hey Harri! The key word that I was waiting to hear from you to describe the difference between the Isley Brothers and Seals and Crofts version was PORCH! Yes indeed, sitting on your porch, watching the Sun go down is the ticket! Great job on the review! Peace!
Close my eyes and I'm back to 1972 on the Jersey shore...
Love Seals and Crofts
I grew up with this, but thanks for turning me on to the Isley brothers too. It's its own special rendition. I can't honestly say I like one better than the other. The Isleys do a splendid arrangement.
This song is still on my Favs playlist to this day👌☮️❤️
Nothing beats songs from the 70's in my opinion.
Another all time classic!
Saw them in concert several times with my x-wife back in another life.
One of my favorite songs. Loved this as a kid ❤
Thanks for this! I had forgotten how beautiful this was!
I had never heard the original! I love the Isley's version, which takes this modest track and sends it into orbit.
This brings back bittersweet memories. I was 16 years old when this album came out. I had a boyfriend who was my first love. My birthday was Aug. 20th right before school would be starting. He asked what I wanted for my birthday and I told him I wanted this album. Then . . . he broke up with me on my birthday by phone. I never got the album and I had to see him in the halls at school with his new gf. Broke my heart.
The sound you hear over some of the guitar licks is a toy piano!
Seals & Crofts have a lot of good songs like, Hummingbird, My Fair Share, King Of Nothing, etc. but my top favorite among them is "Windflowers".
This was a garage party song we played over and over when I was 13 years old in 8th grade. Wow! You're taking me way back Harri.
I have never heard The Isley Brothers until tonight, but I have to agree with you.
Jimmy Seals & Dash Crofts use vocal harmonies superbly.
perfect for my mood right now🙏🦋✌🏻 love these guys👍👍
Talking about the Isley Brothers, have you heard their song Harvest for the World. Absolutely brilliant !
This is the only version I know and the best!
A great song--lyrics, music and heart This is the version I first knew (had the 45rpm single), but the Isleys did a lovely version. To my way of thinking the Isleys were honoring the song.
Jim Seals' younger brother "England" Dan Seals was one half of England Dan and John Ford Coley, another popular 70s duo. Seventies music is the greatest.
This is my favorite, next favorite is Funny Little Man.
These guys got their start way back in the late 50's as members of The Champs.
As others have suggested, Diamond Girl, Hummingbird & I'll Play For You is worthy of a listen.
Takes me back to 11yrs old laying on the grass with our little radio. Perfect!
i remember this one. i was 10! i had it on a compilation cassette "Rock Explosion" with lots of stuff. try 2 of them: Spiders and Snakes by Jim Stafford, and Cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr Hook
Though the Isley Brothers do an outstanding job on this original by Seals & Crofts, for me, some songs like this one need to remain unadulterated and for Seals and Crofts, smoothly understated . I feel the same way about JJ Cales original of ''Call me the Breeze'' that still stands head and shoulders above Lynyrd Skynyrds (admittedly fairly decent) version of that tune.
''Diamond Girl'' and ''We May Never Pass This Way Again'' are two more tunes at the top of the S&C must hear list, tho' their whole catalog is timeless.
This was a very special time in life for me and I suggest for many others, I was 16 and I had lived through the anti war era of 67. Things were about to change ... changes we had called for ... changes that we could never have imagined. Viet Nam ended, Nixon was gone in shame, and the 50's lifestyle was ending. What turmoil and what excitement. Seals and Croft were the transition and we didn't realize it at the time.
Never knew the Isley Bros covered this Seals & Crofts song. I'll have to check it out. But they wrote it & had the hit.
Too Great! Ya A-Gain..Thanks Harri
Another gem by Seals & Crofts "Windfowers"
I literally just after I listened and watched your Awesome version knew it wasnt Seals & Crofts, which I actually knew First before Isley, but wasnt alive yet for either one although. I was blown away by "The Main Ingredient" version with the harp, and beautiful harmony,and singing a little lower in some parts.Holds his notes so well..Horn section is amazing.Arranged perfectly..I think i here xylophone, and flute ..so well mixed, with i think congas as well and violins..The harmony of the backups are so good with the echoe chamber as well
Song about a simple thing , coming home from work .
My first concert :)
My dad truly enjoyed this song, born in 1918, and knew what he liked in music.
This is my favorite version. ✌Hi from NY.
love this!
Great reaction and analysis.
Jim Seals is the older brother of the late Dan Seals (R.I.P) of England Dan & John Ford Coley. (Dan Seals later went on to become a successful country singer in the 80's and early 90's)
Sadly, Jimmy Seals died 6-6-2022. Beautiful human being!❤
Awesome
REMINDS ME OF SUMMER
SEALS & CROFTS "WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN",, "KING OF NOTHING",, "HUMMINGBIRD" & "DIAMOND GIRL"
Cheers harri love this song
I really enjoy your reaction videos Harri and I "Thank You" for turning me on to the Isley Brothers version of Summer Breeze. The original Seals and Crofts version is still my favorite but I enjoy and appreciate how the Isley Brothers stayed true to the original tune, yet made it their own!
I apologize for auto text making seals and crofts read as something different! So much for modern technology 😜
God gave Rock and roll to you banger
it's almost like a Summer Breeze, it is a Summer Breeze, this is so pleasing to the ears, way more pleasing to my ears.
'we may never pass this way again'
Seals and Croft worked with Glen Campbell for several years starting with the Champs.
this is way better, they have some great music.
It is laid back harri hint summer breeze. Great song
Oh this song
I had this vinyl album in junior high. Which pretty much makes me King Sh** of F*** Mountain.
Seals n Crofts wrote this. Acoustical guitars, n violins were their staple. They were folksy. Check out Diamond Girls. Also a good one from them.
I love your stories and how you review music. I paused your video and listened the the Isley Brothers version first to get inside your frame of reference. I’d never heard their version before.
As with most songs that get covered, the original version is usually the most meaningful and best. Such is the case here, not to detract from the Isleys version which I also quite like.
I always enjoy your reactions. A true music appreciator with very genuine and thoughtful commentaries. Please react to 'Hummingbird' too. It's a masterpiece with a spiritual back story..
You'd like England Dan & John Ford Coley. "I'd really love to see you tonight'.
