Dan Seals passed away. RIP
March 29, 2009
Dan Seals, who was England Dan in the pop duo England Dan and John Ford Coley and later had a successful country career, has died of complications from cancer. He was 61.
With England Dan and John Ford Coley, Seals had hits including "I'd Really Like to See You Tonight" and "Nights Are Forever," both in 1976.
His country hits in the '80s and '90s included "Bop", "Everything That Glitters (is not Gold)", "You Still Move Me," "Love on Arrival," and a duet with Marie Osmond, "Meet Me in Montana."
Dan Seals had reinvented himself several times over four decades of recording and performing while staying true to the music his fans had come to expect from this wonderful man. He always managed to produce a great pop song or touching ballad whether as a rock or country artist and had a very recognizable voice. It's ironic we also lost Paul Davis almost exactly one year ago, another great musician with a similar background. Both contributed to writing the song "Bop" which was one of Dan's biggest hits of the 80's. A decade he will be best remembered for outside of the 70's. Why does time have to change everything and leave us with only memories?
