Dan Seals

seals1February 8, 1948 – March 25, 2009

Dan Seals was a popular music and country artist who, like his big brother Jim (of Seals and Crofts fame,) scored a number of hits throughout his career. His biggest crossover hit was as a member of the soft rock duo, England Dan and John Ford Coley. Their “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight” reached as high as #2 on the Billboard pop chart. After England Dan (a childhood nickname given to him by Jim) and Coley parted ways, Seals embarked on a pretty successful solo country career.

Recording more than a dozen albums, Dan was a fixture on the country scene for the better part of two decades. He landed a massive hit in 1985 with his duet with Marie Osmond, “Meet Me In Montana,” which reached #1 on the Billboard country chart that year and started a string of hits for Seals.

After undergoing a number of procedures to battle lymphoma, Dan Seals died at the age of 61.
