This was amazingly fun to do! I thought this would be a great intro to Seals & Crofts for Nick and Alexia! I'm not giving away my secrets to teleportation 😂! Hope everyone enjoyed the video as much as I helped making it!
Hey Brother Greybeard! This is Bro. White Hair ( b.1961-?) Thanks so much for ushering our young music loving friends, Nick and Lex, into the wonderful world of "Yacht Rock"! There's so much to discover. Seal and Crofts, ABBA, Ambrosia, Pablo Cruise, Little River Band and so many more great bands of that era! So glad Scotty beamed you down and back up! 😃Looking forward to many more of your great suggestions!
Jim Seals you just heard, his little brother Dan is totally worth your time. Hey played in the 70's as England Dan and John Ford Coley. Their Nights are Forever without you, I'd really like to see you tonight are priceless. Dan RIP went on to an incredible country career. Addicted, Everything that glitters is not Gold, are playlist Gold.
You need to listen to "WE May Never Pass This Way Again" by Seals and Crofts. It was used a countless number of times as the theme for the Senior proms/ Graduating Classes in High School/Colleges back in 1975. It was a Top 40 hit....very moving. You wont soon forget it
"Get Closer" is another popular and great S%C song that most people down below haven't mentioned. I'm also partial to a lessen-known tune called "The Boy Down the Road."
Great Video,Thanks. Lex liked the album cover and it reminded me that I use to pick up albums based on the album cover. It worked out pretty good back in the 70's.
Add Hummingbird to your Seals and Croft list. Either studio or live on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The vocal into is one of the best and the ending of the song has such lush, beautiful key changes, just flowing together. A lost of talent with these two guys. You just don't see song writing and performing like this anymore.
Nothing too fancy. No Prog Rock elements or suprise twists and turns. Just a FANTASTIC all around song. Very easy to listen to without having to over-analyze anything. Just a song to sit back and enjoy. What more do you really need?
Seals & Crofts are an amazing underrated duo/band. Musicians that played on their albums were always first rate. Saw them in the 90’s for a reunion tour at the Valley Forge Music Fair. Great long gone venue. Stage in the round for about 2,000 people.
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts had voices that were so perfect together that, at times, they were practically "the same voice"... same texture, same resonance. I'm always amazed when someone says they'd never heard of them before. They were the very fiber of my teen years! ☺
I was, I am and I will be a S&C forever. These Masters of Melody made so many nice songs. So sad Jim already passed away. You both have to listen to more of their albums.
Boom Shaka a laka ❤️❤️ how fun is that! Played the hell out of this had it on a Quadrophonic 8 track on my old RCA Quad stereo back in the good old 70s. My favorite cut on the album was the instrumental piece at the end of the album titled Wisdom. Super fun cameo with Greybeard ❤️
Whether you call it light rock, easy listening, yacht rock or anything else… it’s exceptional music. I got the “Best Of Seals And Crofts” for Christmas on 8 track for my 15th birthday, along with my new hi fi stereo system in ‘75. Major groovy!
What a fun reaction with your special guest!😊"Diamond Girl" was such an upbeat song that got a lot of airplay back in the day. Thanks so much guys for reacting to this oldie - brought back a lot of memories🌿
Greybeard comes through big time with the remix of the original radio version -- this one has the guitars up a bit more in the mix and the strings back a bit more, and it's a little jumpier in tempo and feel! An improvement over the 1974 release. Greybeard must also be aware of the S&C album "Traces" from 2004, where they re-recorded a few of their biggest numbers and added some new ones. On that record, Diamond Girl appears with no flute, just the keys and guitars and the rhythm section. It's just so slightly heavier on the bass, has clearer and more crunchy guitar fills and solos, and it rocks out (to the extent that S&C ever do) a bit more. It's another great alternative mix and it's my go-to mix for this song. ❤
I was always more into harder rock and metal back in those days. But when the mood struck for something softer, my go to bands were Seals and Crofts and America. Both groups were consistently great.
This was my second concert, ever, per my mom. I was five, in '75, and all I remember is eight or ten seconds of me standing on the arms of my chair, singing along to this song at full blast and everyone around was watching me, not the band. It's still me and my moms song...
Can't hear this album without going back in my little time machine to 1973, at which point, Joe and Myra moved in next door to us. They both had hair down to their backside, a 3-year-old girl and newly born twins. My younger sister and I were soon regulars next door playing with the kids, changing diapers, (yep this boy was changing a diaper at 12) and with Joe's permission I was listening to his cool record collection. This was one of the albums I heard way back when thanks to the coolest next door neighbors you could have.
I actually learned flute in Jr High on a flute that was owned previously by someone that played with Seals and Crofts. My dad bought it from the musician (wish I knew his name!) - it had an electric pickup on it, which amazed my band director! When my parents divorced I had to move quite a few times, and unfortunately my flute was stolen in one of the moves. Still makes me ill to think about it. Anyway, I had it for at least three years and enjoyed it! Love Seals and Crofts and I appreciate the song reaction! 😊
Seals & Crofts must've had Lex in mind when they wrote this song, because she sure does shine, especially when she does the "whooooo"! S & C was a fabulous duo. Another great duo from that era was England Dan and John Ford Coley. England Dan was Dan Seals, brother of Jim Seals of S & C.
Two biggest duo bands from the early 70’s era were Seals & Crofts and Loggins & Messina. Sadly even in the 70’s radio stations let politics invade our listening experience after Seals & Crofts released the song “Unborn Child” (which is a beautiful song) in 1974, after Roe v Wade decision. The message of the song is a simple one from the guys, "one should not take life too lightly, and should consider its value before carrying out the procedure of abortion”. It immediately was labeled as an anti-abortion song (which in truth it is not) and radio dropped this song & these guys (pretty much) from the airwaves. RIP Jim… More hits from these guys would be “Hummingbird”, “Summer Breeze”, "We May Never Pass This Way Again”, I’ll Play For You”, “East of Ginger Trees" and “Get Closer”.
Need to check out We May Never Pass This Way Again,another great song by this duo. Sadly Jim Seals passed away recently at the age of 80. Their music is timeless. Many great songs in the 70's.
"Mommy! Mommy! I want to teleport to see Nick and Lex!! Pleeeese?" That was so much fun! Nice to meet you, Eric! Great reaction to another favorite song from high school days! I'm one of those whose class chose "We May Never Pass This Way Again" for the class song. I loved it, but thought it was a bit "on the nose." I voted for E J's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Great reaction, y'all!! 🎵❤️🎵 Debbie
Greybeard so nice to put a face to a name! Awesome suggestion ! I have never heard of the band. But really enjoyed it! Thanks Nick and Lex! Always excited to see your videos!
Hi Guys ..... and Greybeard ! That was a brilliant surprise and to beam down like that, even Scotty could not have done it any better. I have only ever heard "Summer Breeze" and I do love that song and I did buy the single when it first came out. I use to buy a lot of singles in my youth, mainly because it's all I could afford, untill I got my first job. I did use to babysit for a wonderful family and got paid, but most of that went on chocolates, comics and going to the cinema. Lol I really enjoyed this track and must checkout more of Seals and Croft. As albums go, they simply got overlooked by me....but then so did Steely Dan. I bought a few singles by them when first released, but it wasn't until I was 40yrs old that I got into their albums...Aja was the starting point, after which I needed more, like an addiction. Great reaction, and great fun. Beam me up Scotty ! Byeee Jim X
I saw Seals and Crofts when Hummingbird was a big hit, and they were amazingly good in concert. Loved their hits, but they could also jam on extended songs. You might wanna check out Thunderfoot from their Sudan Village album.
GREYBEARD!! What a great surprise! Guys this was a lot of fun, I'm sure you had great fun doing it as well. (Heard this a trillion times, still love the guitar in the outro, tasty...)
The summer this album was released a buddy and I were restoring his sail boat. We spent many sunny days out in his yard working in the boat and the station we listened to played several songs from the album through the day. This really stuck with me, although it's been about 50 years!
Wow! I was not expecting that. The production values on NicknLex have gone through the roof! Just like magic, Greybeard appeared, and then there were three reacting to my favourite Seals & Crofts song. Where are they now? No-one knows, they are probably drifting along on a summer breeze.
Seals and Crofts made it big on radio with Diamond Girl and Summer Breeze but I was more of a fan of their earlier albums. Lex would like the first track, See My Life, from their self titled first album. My favorite album though is the second, Down Home. Another good first track is Ridin' Thumb. Other favorites from this album are Gabriel Go On Home, Hollow Reed, and Leave. I listened to both albums constantly on 8 track tapes in my car and on vinyl at home.
That was great fun guys 😊nice to meet you Eric!!! Yery good song choice!!! Very much a Steely Dan vibe !! Nice one Nick 😊Nick is your microphone possessed!!!Nick it has a mind of it's own 😂😂😂
What a great song and welcome to the A Team Greybeard. My favorite part of the video is the electric smile on Lex's face. Your smile is a solar panel of energy and one look always lifts my spirit. It looks like there are 62.2 K other subscribers who agree with me. This is the best reaction channel on the entire web. ❤
Welcome to the video, Eric! So good to see Greybeard joining you. Everyone looks great performing this tune. Nice shaker action, Nick. This made my day. ❤️🥰
Another classic act that was huge in the day but hasn't stayed as present as many other bands. So much great music and they were such great musicians. And for a change of their usual pace, they always put some really great instrumentals on their records. Check out Thunderfoot from the live album or Freaks Fret from I'll Play For You. Both incredible showcases for their musicianship.
That is an amazing song and like you said a very nice production. However, it is from Seals and Crofts fifth album. They do beautiful harmonies together. I wish you would react to the song "Gabriel Go On Home" from their second album Down Home (1970). Not a hit, but a timeless song that I could listen to over and over again.
They were Bahá’í too, (as was England Dan Seals of ‘England Dan and John Ford Coley’) , a world religion that encompasses all past religions, all races, all nationalities. “Hummingbird” is a SUPER tune plus it refs Bahá’u’lláh as a hummingbird, even mentions the Abha kingdom…
Add “Trilogy: Lovin' Me/To Make A Woman Feel Wanted/Peace Of Mind” to that list, there’s a great live version to see right here, ua-cam.com/video/uXN_gaIuAwU/v-deo.html
Great song and album. One song, "Wisdom", I can play on saxophone. Very fun and easy. I too was thinking Steely Dan, but Loggins and Messina is also a good analogy. "Be Free" (live in '76) is their essential classic, imho. After playing here in Charlotte, in the '70s, S & C hung around and talked about religion. Very nice boys, but they never cut my grass. How cool to finally see the mighty Graybeard! Great effects too. Thanks y'all.
You still need to give Michael Franks tunes a listen, songs like 'Tiger in the Rain' - 'Rainy Night In Tokyo', the lush rainforest jazz and lyrics about the land of 'Sanpaku', the “slow sambas” in botanical gardens of 'Jardin Botanico', and lazing warmth of being with you wife 'Underneath The Apple Tree” or the joy of being with your true love with 'Living On The Inside' provide necessary escapism of wit and music by top-level jazz musicians ( such as Larry Carlton on guitar, Joe Sample of the Crusaders on keys, and the phenomenal talents of Michael Brecker and David Sanborn on saxophone much like Steely Dan). "Love Duet' 'Monks New Tune', ''Antonio’s Song (The Rainbow),' the list goes on and on. NicknLex are known for bringing great music to might be unknown to your fans. Please keep going; you guys are loved.
Very fun! So great to finally see Eric after multiple months of comments to him. And of course you two were great as usual. (PS Jim Seals and Dash Crofts both played in The Champs who had a big instrumental hit in the late 50's "Tequila" .)
Ask grey beard about Paul Simon and art Garfunkel American tune great song about coming to America great version with Paul and art from central park great❤
I remember this song and Summer Breeze, but can't recall any other songs. Remember them from the car radio, mostly. Gonna throw out my old standby, just to see if maybe it will get recognized😀 #Nicknlexrequest Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape (Live! In The Air Age version) - Be Bop Deluxe
this guy should have told you or maybe he did off the air but that's the great drummer jeff pocaro on drums david hungate on bass david paich on piano all from the band toto and the great studio guitar player louie shelton this same people are on seals and croft hits in the 70s and countless others
Shouldn't Eric be naked and talk with an Austrian accent??? 😯 What a cool surprise! What's the occasion Eric? This was another favorite of my parents, which my Dad had an 8-Track of (for the car and home), so brings back MANY good memories 🙂.
This was amazingly fun to do! I thought this would be a great intro to Seals & Crofts for Nick and Alexia! I'm not giving away my secrets to teleportation 😂! Hope everyone enjoyed the video as much as I helped making it!
Great seeing you Greybeard!!

It was so nice to see you in person Greybeard. What was it like in NicknLex's magic music room?

"Summer Breeze" and *We May Never Pass This Way Again" are 2 other great S&C hits I remember from my youth.
Jim Seals brother of England Dan of England Dan & John Ford Coley. RIP Jim & Dan
Wow weird coincidence, I took out my vinyl lp of their greatest hits last night ...They have many great songs ..
Jim Seals you just heard, his little brother Dan is totally worth your time. Hey played in the 70's as England Dan and John Ford Coley.

Another jazzy tune this reminds me of is Van Morrison's, 'Moondance'.
cool to see you on camera, greybeard!!
Thanks Murdock! I've subbed to your channel recently, and I invision doing something like that after I retire. Really enjoy your content my friend.

You got it exactly right! It's a great little song but the intro part and then those chord changes at the end absolutely push it over the top!
do HUMMINGBIRD by them.awesome song
Hummingbird is incredible the chord progression has 36 changes before the chorus starts the actual groove.
Yes, my favorite of theirs. I heard it a lot on the radio the day Jim Seals died last year.
@@shyshift if you say so lol. i just know it sounds good
@@frankmerris8821 I saw them play it in concert on the Diamond Girl tour in Sacramento 1974.
Hummingbird is my favorite!

Nice of you to Beam up Greybeard the Alien abduction at the end was Cool its Hard to imagine this Track is know 50 years Old 🙏
One of my first concerts was Seals and Crofts circa 73-74. Hi, Greybeard. I'm going to give myself an aneurism trying to pop in on Nick n Lex. :D
It takes deep concentration and magic😂!
I’m gonna have to get one of those ‘transporters’ that Grey Beard obviously has acquired.
Whether you call it light rock, easy listening, yacht rock or anything else… it’s exceptional music. I got the “Best Of Seals And Crofts” for Christmas on 8 track for my 15th birthday, along with my new hi fi stereo system in ‘75. Major groovy!
4:50- I was just listening, so when Nick came in with that shaker, I was like, is this a part of the song I don’t remember this shaker.
Louie Shelton - guitar and this is from their 5th album
What a fun reaction with your special guest!😊"Diamond Girl" was such an upbeat song that got a lot of airplay back in the day. Thanks so much guys for reacting to this oldie - brought back a lot of memories🌿
Their tune "We May Never Pass This Way Again" was the theme song for my high school class graduation.
Mine too!! Class of '74!! Woo hoo!

SUMMER BREEZE and then HUMMINGBIRD ... pretty please with a cherry on top !!!
Loved the special effects. Hope you can beam in more surprise guests in the future.
This song was on the radio in our area for months! Long enough for us to learn every word and intonations. Everyone loved this song! (and still do!)
I was always more into harder rock and metal back in those days. But when the mood struck for something softer, my go to bands were Seals and Crofts and America. Both groups were consistently great.
It's so cool to meet Grey Beard... I truly love his music requests.

Happily got to meet Jim Seals a few years before he passed, a really down to earth great guy
Can't hear this album without going back in my little time machine to 1973, at which point, Joe and Myra moved in next door to us.

Wow, what an entertaining upload! and Diamond Girl is my favorite Seals & Crofts track.
Seals & Crofts must've had Lex in mind when they wrote this song, because she sure does shine, especially when she does the "whooooo"!

@@kbrewski1 Yes it was released as a single.

Need to check out We May Never Pass This Way Again,another great song by this duo. Sadly Jim Seals passed away recently at the age of 80. Their music is timeless. Many great songs in the 70's.
Seals and Crofts did the soundtrack for a movie called "One on One" which is great. You should check it out.

To me the song has a bit of a Van Morrison vibe to it.
I saw these guy’s in 75 I think with Minnie Ripperton opened for them at the Nassau Coliseum! ❤
Next up: "Summer Breeze"
Tricky business that teleportation! LOL! They were a massive A.M. radio hit!
*"They were a massive A.M. radio hit!"*
That was due to AM still being the most popular medium for music listening.
Peekaboo Marley in the background🐾
Pretty sure that’s another example of the prowess of the famed Wrecking Crew, hired guns on the west coast.
I was a massive S&C fan in the 70s Loved that they used tabla on most of their songs. Summer Breeze was their mega hit.

Seals & Croft have been mentioned numerous times during your live casts.
Come to think of it you haven’t done one of those in a while. 😁
I know! Livestream….
Another classic act that was huge in the day but hasn't stayed as present as many other bands. So much great music and they were such great musicians. And for a change of their usual pace, they always put some really great instrumentals on their records. Check out Thunderfoot from the live album or Freaks Fret from I'll Play For You. Both incredible showcases for their musicianship.
That is an amazing song and like you said a very nice production. However, it is from Seals and Crofts fifth album. They do beautiful harmonies together. I wish you would react to the song "Gabriel Go On Home" from their second album Down Home (1970). Not a hit, but a timeless song that I could listen to over and over again.
Suggestion: Seals and Crofts "We may never Pass This Way Again"
They were Bahá’í too, (as was England Dan Seals of ‘England Dan and John Ford Coley’) , a world religion that encompasses all past religions, all races, all nationalities. “Hummingbird” is a SUPER tune plus it refs Bahá’u’lláh as a hummingbird, even mentions the Abha kingdom…
Speaking of Loggins & Messina, here are some deep cuts you will love:
Time to Space
Same Old Wine
Sailin' the Wind
Just for starters...
Add “Trilogy: Lovin' Me/To Make A Woman Feel Wanted/Peace Of Mind” to that list, there’s a great live version to see right here, ua-cam.com/video/uXN_gaIuAwU/v-deo.html
That was hilarious! Who did the special effects? George Lucas?
Great song and album. One song, "Wisdom", I can play on saxophone. Very fun and easy. I too was thinking Steely Dan, but Loggins and Messina is also a good analogy. "Be Free" (live in '76) is their essential classic, imho. After playing here in Charlotte, in the '70s, S & C hung around and talked about religion. Very nice boys, but they never cut my grass. How cool to finally see the mighty Graybeard! Great effects too. Thanks y'all.
You still need to give Michael Franks tunes a listen, songs like 'Tiger in the Rain' - 'Rainy Night In Tokyo', the lush rainforest jazz and lyrics about the land of 'Sanpaku', the “slow sambas” in botanical gardens of 'Jardin Botanico', and lazing warmth of being with you wife 'Underneath The Apple Tree” or the joy of being with your true love with 'Living On The Inside' provide necessary escapism of wit and music by top-level jazz musicians ( such as Larry Carlton on guitar, Joe Sample of the Crusaders on keys, and the phenomenal talents of Michael Brecker and David Sanborn on saxophone much like Steely Dan). "Love Duet' 'Monks New Tune', ''Antonio’s Song (The Rainbow),' the list goes on and on. NicknLex are known for bringing great music to might be unknown to your fans. Please keep going; you guys are loved.
Very fun! So great to finally see Eric after multiple months of comments to him. And of course you two were great as usual. (PS Jim Seals and Dash Crofts both played in The Champs who had a big instrumental hit in the late 50's "Tequila" .)
It was so much fun making this video with them. Thought it was time to introduce this amazing duo to N & L! Now everyone has a face to the name😊
They joined The Champs after "Tequila" was already a big hit, but I'm sure they played it live with the group countless times!🙂
@@debrabrabenec And Jim was an accomplished Sax player as well. Thank you.

Wait a minute, wait a minute! That’s a WHITE beard!! 😎

Ask grey beard about Paul Simon and art Garfunkel American tune great song about coming to America great version with Paul and art from central park great❤
I remember this song and Summer Breeze, but can't recall any other songs. Remember them from the car radio, mostly.

Check out 'Hummingbird' by these guys. Very meditative.
check out their song, John Wayne
Please 🙏 Advance Guard's please 🤠
it's a duo, not a band.
A group of musicians performing music is termed a band or group and typically consists of between two and five members.
Also check out England Dan and John Ford Collie. Dan Seals band after this group
this guy should have told you or maybe he did off the air but that's the great drummer jeff pocaro on drums david hungate on bass david paich on piano all from the band toto and the great studio guitar player louie shelton this same people are on seals and croft hits in the 70s and countless others
Shouldn't Eric be naked and talk with an Austrian accent??? 😯
What a cool surprise! What's the occasion Eric?
This was another favorite of my parents, which my Dad had an 8-Track of (for the car and home), so brings back MANY good memories 🙂.
