 Seals and Crofts: We May Never Pass This Way Again
Crofts recalls that Seals was terrified of getting drafted, and thought that he ought to stay low, staying off international airplanes and out of the newspapers.
Seals and Crofts' sound, a vaguely medieval blend of acoustic guitar and mandolin, was mannered and polite, courtly even, and their lyrics–almost always penned by Seals alone–were radiant and positive, talking of a kind of love that could have been about the opposite sex or about God, depending on how you read them.
By then, Seals and Crofts were almost finished with their fifth album, the one that would ultimately prove to be their biggest seller, and, as each of them would come to realize years later, the beginning of the end.
