      Every time I hear this I’m transported back to summer days in the 70’s- being a kid, playing with my friends in the backyard, hearing the screen door slap closed as we ran in and out all day. No A/C, a small swimming pool full of kids. The best of times.

      Amen--this song takes me right back to the early '70s. I know that it's a cliche for the old-timers (me) to say 'things were better back in the day', but in this case I think they really were. While I'm saddened by much that I see now, I feel profoundly blessed to have been young in the '70s and '80s.

    Back in 1979 I was 15 and Dash Crofts had recently moved to Northridge where I grew up. My friend and I were trying to earn money for trip to Arizona by going door to door asking people if we could wash their cars for about $2. Crofts let us wash what must have been a custom painted Jaguar, but unfortunately and entirely by accident, the Joy dish soap we used ruined his high gloss paint job, which we didn't notice until he came out. He was horrified. He kept saying, "Oh wow, this looks really bad" as he walked around the car. But he was such a nice, gentle guy, he didn't even raise his voice or demand to talk to our parents. In fact, he paid us anyway. I feel really bad about that to this day, 41 years later. Hope he's doing well. The music will live forever.

      @@NickyM_0 @BangTaoBeach Eloquently put!! I agree. I love both versions immensely because they both offer different aspects but still meet on a common ground which is the root to why the song is so excellent. I think both are meditative and thoughtful, but one is so soulful and the other is sort of airy and folksy.

Great harmonies. I am super bummed about this. Saw England Dan and John Ford Coley in concert too. England Dan was Jimmy's brother and later became a country star. He passed several years ago. Jimmy Seals was one of the best entertainers I ever saw in concert. I think the song Summer Breeze is pure genius.

    "Summer Breeze" - Seals & Crofts
    (Lyrics)
    See the curtains hangin' in the window
    In the evening on a Friday night
    A little light-a-shinin' through the window
    Lets me know everything's all right
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind
    See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
    A little music from the house next door
    So I walk on up to the doorstep
    Through the screen and across the floor
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
    Sweet days of summer
    The jasmine's in bloom
    July is dressed up and playing her tune
    And I come home from a hard day's work
    And you're waitin' there, not a care in the world
    See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
    Food's cookin' and the plates for two
    Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
    In the evening when the day is through
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Like a Summer Breeze, you made us all feel fine when your music came blowing gently through our minds. The first time I heard about the Baha'i Faith with its wonderful message of unity which the world needs more now than ever was in your music. You were a great musician and left an inspiring legacy. You will never "pass this way again" but your legacy endures.

    When I was in high school back in the late 70's I had signed up for a science class..."Oceanography". I had specifically asked my school counselor if there was anything offered other than Biology for Sophomores. She said I could sign up for "Oceanography...which I did.
    Now the only reason I told that part of the story is to bring this up...the Science teacher who taught it kept a stereo set in his classroom. When we worked on team projects, the stereo would come on. Usually he only played Classical Music...nothing else. We hated it, but no choice...that was all he played. One day towards the end of class the Science teacher had to leave classroom to run quick errand. You would think that one brave student would go up and switch the station on stereo, but no one was brave enough.
    However, as we listened and worked on our projects...suddenly this song; "Summer Breeze" came on. Everyone stopped what they were doing and just listened to the song. It was truly a breath of fresh air! Then the station went back to playing their classical line up. I remember someone saying; "at least we got to listen to a "great song for a change." We noticed the clock and it was time to clean up...so we finished what we doing quickly. No one said anything else...and the bell rang. Now every time I hear this song I am transported back to AHS and hearing "Summer Breeze" play on our science teacher's stereo.

      How much do you want to bet people saying life sucks ate from the USA? Life in the USA sucks because the country is stolen land that was later used for keeping blacks. Now used as a trap for hispanics. Very poor morals

    This song is the musical equivalent of a still life portrait - a picture that completely captures a mood, a feeling and moment in time. Perfection without artificial effects that says it all.

    When I was younger I always heard this song and I envisioned myself with my own little family. Now I have my own little family and everything the song says is a reality for me. This song is about somebody's safe place. I play it all the time and feel like I was always looking into the future. My 3 year year old now loves this song.

    RIP Seals. We've lost a truly great songwriter and musician. This is such an evocative classic

    This reminds me of my grandma when we would go to Santa Cruz as a family when I was a child. I miss her.
