My Take
Dan Seals — or England Dan — wrote some of the warmest soft rock of the late seventies, and "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" still lands with that aching, gentle pull. Coming from a genuine music family, with brother Jim of Seals & Crofts, he had melody in his blood. What I respect is his refusal to be a one-genre act: after the duo's run, he reinvented himself successfully in country music. That kind of artistic patience and reinvention is rare. He passed in 2009, but his voice carries a plainspoken Texan sincerity beneath the sweetness that I think keeps his songs quietly alive on the radio.
