This song is the essence of my memories of growing up in the 1970s...fragrance of the flowers in my mom's backyard, dinners in the kitchen, hanging out with my friends and sisters, riding my bike, walking to the park! SO many sweet smells and sounds of summer saturate my soul! That's the true spirit of Summer Breeze! Classic! 😃💮
Yep, and we took it all for granted... hearing this song now, it's hard not to be emotional, grasping onto strands of '70s memories. I hope to goodness the children of today have carefree summers like we were afforded then.
Seals and Crofts sang and wrote this first. The Isley Brothers covered it, and it's very good. The Isleys covered several pop songs in the 70's. Jasmine is a summer-blooming flower with a very strong scent.
From that album was also We may never pass this way again. And Ruby Jean and Billie Lee. They wrote songs to and about their wives. There's an original video of them singing the song. Jim Seals who died in 22, was married to Ruby who is black. Not as common back in those days.
great choices ! I also " The Love Theme " from the soundtrack album of the movie One on One is beautiful. Seals and Croft do the album with the amazing John Williams as the lyric writer, if memory serves me correct. This song my be worthy of the PDC ❤❤
Summer of '73, I was in between junior high and high school, building model rockets in my bedroom with the window open and the radio on, "Summer Breeze" playing every few hours. Yes, it was nothing short of magic!
One of the casualties of the educational system. With art and music out of required coursework students don't have an appreciation of what the arts are all about and what good music really is.
I was 17, in my first car, coming home from my first real job (after delivering newspapers) In my first car, a classic 409 Impala (think Beach Boy’s song) on a warm, clear summer afternoon. Life was right, and this new song came on the AM radio. Unforgettable memory:)
The 70s were such a smorgasbord of music. Every genre brought something special. I always enjoy your reactions. They’re good reminders of music we take for granted. You are such a 70s girl. You always comment on how much you love not just the music but also the hair and the fashions. Keep doing what you do Miss Britt. Accept your blessings today.
These guys were really, really good, and they had a sound all their own. They were all over the radio back in the 70's. You should listen to more of their stuff, Britt. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
One of my favorite songs of all time!!! This song and Chicago's "Saturday in the Park" always put a smile on my face. Growing up in the 1970's was fun. It was a simpler times than what kids experience today with all of their high tech devices and Internet stuff available at a moments notice.
Seals and Croft were THE male duo of the 1970's. Hits Like Summer Breeze, Diamond Girl, Ruby Jean and Billie Lee, Play For You, The King of Nothing, We May Never Pass This Way Again, Hummingbird, Get Closer...you cannot go wrong with these two.
Yes , the summer breeze blowing through the jasmine, that soft smell when the wind blows through the trees that flower, the opening notes of this song are so distinctive and always make me smile
We May Never Pass This Way Again, Hummingbird, Diamond Girl all hits in the 70's that were on the radio. Many school graduating classes used We May Never Pass This Way Again as their senior anthem.
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts wrote their own music. I attended one of their concerts in the late 70's. Their greatest hits album was their most popular. Both grew up in Texas, and developed their own sound with Dash playing the Mandolin.
Makes me feel so good like gentle summer breeze at night, takes me back to a time so the golden age of rock and roll and unbelievable singer/songwriters, one of my favorite favorites 😊
I've just found your channel and love it. So far, you have reacted to so so many of my favorite songs growing up in the 70s. A massive trip down memory lane for me.
I heard that they wrote this song, but weren't happy with it. So it sat on the shelf for a long time. Then they were in a toy store and saw a toy piano. They added it at the beginning and felt that was the missing piece. They released the song shortly after.
GET CLOSER DARLIN' IF YOU WANT ME TO BE CLOSER TO YOU, GET CLOSER TO ME. Darlin' if you want me to see, See only you, then see only me DARLIN' IF YOU WANT ME TO LOVE, LOVE ONLY YOU, THEN LOVE ONLY ME.... another great Dan Seals song.
Even more than that, they are cousins to Country Vocalist from the 90’s group “Little Texas” Brady Seals, 70’s Country Artist Johnny Duncan, and Singer Songwriter TRoy Seals. The family talent flows like a raging river
This was popular during my incarnation as a music major in the early 70s. One of the duo had a wife named Ruby. He wrote the song Diamond Girl for her.
Wikipedia says that Seals and Croft wrote and originally recorded the song but they list 49 other artists who covered it including The Isley Brothers, The Main Ingredient, Percy Faith and Jason Mraz.
I HATE TO GET REDUNDANT BUT THIS YOUNG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP WHEN IT COMES TO UA-cam MUSIC AND REACTIONS PLUS INFORMATION COWBOYS!!!!🥰👍
I always thought of it as in his mind the summer breeze is blowing through the jasmine. The lyrics are about all the little non events that make up a treasured memory, which is so relatable and perfect.
Yes! I love this song and it's so nostalgic for me since I was in high school when this song came out. I love your reactions and commentary on all the songs you cover.
So many reaction channels, overthink and reach for straws, trying to figure out the song, but with you, it’s like you are genuinely searching for what the artist was trying to emote and the absolute truth in the meaning of the words that they were singing. So awesome.
I associate the wonderful smell of jasmine in the air more with late spring but it could easily be early summer. What an incredible way to additionally capture that moment that he's painting, to combine it with a nostalgic sense of fragrance on the gentle breeze.
Seals and Croft were known as one of the wimp, super groups of the 1970s. I always thought of their music as lite rock, E-Z Listening. This is one of those very special songs for me that will always have a special place in my heart. This song takes me back to the gentle summer breeze of 1972, the year I graduated 8th grade and was on my to highschool. This song was on the radio that summer, and was there on the radio loud speaker at the community pool, on the car radio to an from the amusement parks, and go-cart tracks, even at the local ice cream parlor, and the Baseball park in town.
Jasmine and honey suckle were very common landscape plants. They would bloom in the summer, and the heat would just fill the air with their sweet essence. Nowadays I smell it and am transported to another time. This song has always made me subconsciously smell it. The words are poetry.
@@jessediaz1293 She’s not going to do that to me! She’s given me 3 grandkids which is 2 more than I gave my mom. The youngest which also is a boy doesn’t have a first name associated with a famous singer/ band, but my eldest is Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer).
Wow this brings me back to a long time ago. Living is a small apartment making an effort to go back to school. Everything change for me after that. I can still smell the air back then. That's what music does. Thanks Britt love your reactions, great job!
Takes me to summer and fall of 1973. Senior year of high school. Times went fast. Very melancholy listening. Parents gone. Thought those days would be forever.
Seals & Croft are amazing. You will enjoy all that they recorded. You'd also enjoy 'England Dan & John Ford Coley'. There are 2 brothers & 1 each is in both of these duos. 🎉
One of my faves from 'back in the day'. Their hits are tremendous, but I recommend a deep cut called East of Ginger Trees. Gives a bit more of their mystical vibe.
jassmine is a very fragrant summer flower in south carolina. to me hanging out in the yard smelling flowers evening summertime. the memory of all that .
This song does bring back memories. Wife and I and our first new baby, in townhouse with 8 of the twelve members of college singing group as neighbors. We were the older married couple and everyone gathered at our house. Two of the guys did muscic gigs and this was their theme song. My son in his crib listening to them doing this song. MMMMM Sweet memories
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts. I knew them. They wrote this and many other great songs. I got to hear all of them before they were on record. Jim's brother Dan was also part of a duo. England Dan and John Ford Coley. that 's a mouthful... Dan and John were in a successful Houston band that broke up. They did some nice songs too. Nicest guys, we had many great discussions. They were starting the Bahai church in Houston. It was near UH. They were on campus a lot proselytizing. One day I was talking with Jim and waved at Sam Kinison going by. He was an Assembly of God preacher working with Campus Crusade. He kinda lapsed. LOL Good guitar player too.
2 kinds of Jasmine one is just a ivy like green grown cover , the other is a climbing ivy type that has smalk white flowers and smell kind of like honey suckle .
Seals and Crofts are their last names, they both can play many instruments and thet both were part of the band 'The Champs' known for the 1958 classic called 'Tequila'. I saw them live in the 70's and they were great!
Jasmine is an intoxicatingly fragrant vine, an early summer bloomer. James Seals passed in 2022 (RIP). Other must listens are Diamond Girl and Get Closer. As always, great reaction, TY.
If you remember that Late 50s tune: " Tequila." By the Champs... Well, the guy playing the Mandolin, was a member of that group... I believe he was one of the guitarists.
Back in the day, some of us felt a magic: slowly unveiling lyrics each time we caught a song by chance on the radio... We couldn't get it all at once; so, the sound, and fleeting words, let us fill in all the feeling we needed from our own internal well of memory and emotion.
I was 13 years old when this song came out. It was a huge hit, played on the radio all of the time. I had never heard the live version, so thanks for reacting to it. I had only heard the studio version before… Brings back a lot of great memories!
These gentlemen were touring the northeast in 1971. They appeared at a small college in White Plains NY and nobody went because no one had ever heard of them. The song that you just listened to was a huge hit that year. We all regretted not going to the concert. And yes that's their last names.
Loved Seals and Crofts! This song, Hummingbird, We May Never Pass This Way Again, Ruby Jean and Billie Lee, Get Closer, etc.! Seals & Crofts, sadly both passed now, were Baha'i's (as am I) and much of their music was based in the tenets and some of the history of the Baha'i Faith. Dan Seals of England Dan and John Ford Coley is Dash Seals younger brother. Dash gave him the nickname England Dan because the boy was an avid Beatles fan and loved to affect an English accent. Love their music!
So glad you are enjoying the music of my college years. Yes summer was a magical time. Working all day to pay for college and enjoying the nights parked in an out of the way place. How can it have been 50 years? The music takes me back and I’m 18 again.
The "Chord Change Switch" is a change from a Major Chord (A7) to a Minor Chord (DM which as we all know is the saddest of all keys) only the coolest and oldest of us will get that.
Both Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts were born and raised in Texas...where like most of the warmer parts of the US jasmine and honeysuckle blooms sweeten the summer evenings and night air...usually planted next to the front porch area
"Summer Breeze" is a song written and originally recorded by American soft rock duo Seals and Crofts. It is the title track of their fourth studio album,
Seals and Crofts reminds me of going on a Sunday afternoon drive with my Dad, Mom, sister and brother listening to AM hit radio here in So California ❤
I was a sophomore at Salpointe High School,I had a crush on a girl in my woodshop class.This song reminds me of my future coming home to her,it never worked out that way,but it takes me back to those feelings and the memories when I was sixteen,and still had dreams.
A beautiful song bringing the feelings alive. You should check out We may never pass this way again by Seals and Croft. It was our graduation theme in the mid 70’s
This song is the essence of my memories of growing up in the 1970s...fragrance of the flowers in my mom's backyard, dinners in the kitchen, hanging out with my friends and sisters, riding my bike, walking to the park!

Jasmine, like honeysuckle, is one of the first aromas of summer.
The scent brought in the window by the breeze
You said best.👍🏼
Maybe a little woodsmoke in there from a fire pit. Cheers from Kentucky.
What’s the little purple flowers at the first of spring that taste like honey

Summer of '73, I was in between junior high and high school, building model rockets in my bedroom with the window open and the radio on, "Summer Breeze" playing every few hours. Yes, it was nothing short of magic!
Sounds like I'm about 2 years younger than you. And yes, it was most definitely a magical time!
We May Never Pass This Way Again, was our prom song. I imagine a few other high Schools too.
@@chrisjamieson3452 Also very good song!
I'm right there with you my brother and YES that was the BEST time.
NOBODY makes music this good anymore. One of the casualties of technology.
If they have any talent today. their sure not using it. Jim
Incorect
Ken ,do you have an example how songs are better today?
One of the casualties of the educational system. With art and music out of required coursework students don't have an appreciation of what the arts are all about and what good music really is.
@@kenroubik3221 You spelled "Incorect" incorrectly. It had 2 R's, so you are INCORRECT.
I was 17, in my first car, coming home from my first real job (after delivering newspapers)
In my first car, a classic 409 Impala (think Beach Boy’s song) on a warm, clear summer afternoon.
Life was right, and this new song came on the AM radio.
Unforgettable memory:)
Ah, yes. I was 28 and 5 years out of the Navy and working to buy a sailboat. (bought it two years later) Good memories.
High school years and hot summer nights flashbacks. I haven’t listened to that in quite awhile. You have a 70’s soul. Thanks, Britt! 🤟🏼
The 70s were such a smorgasbord of music. Every genre brought something special. I always enjoy your reactions. They’re good reminders of music we take for granted. You are such a 70s girl.

These guys were really, really good, and they had a sound all their own. They were all over the radio back in the 70's. You should listen to more of their stuff, Britt. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
Night Blooming Jasmine. During the summer, evenings and nights smell awesome. It's like perfume.
I was trying to think of how to describe it. The words “heady” and “intoxicating” came to mind.
One of my favorite songs of all time!!! This song and Chicago's "Saturday in the Park" always put a smile on my face. Growing up in the 1970's was fun. It was a simpler times than what kids experience today with all of their high tech devices and Internet stuff available at a moments notice.
Such a beautiful song. A definite classic.

Hummingbird. These two masterpiece in harmonization.
They had a string of hits through my high school years 72-76
GET CLOSER
DARLIN' IF YOU WANT ME TO BE
CLOSER TO YOU,
GET CLOSER TO ME.
Darlin' if you want me to see,
See only you,
then see only me
DARLIN' IF YOU WANT ME TO LOVE, LOVE ONLY YOU,
THEN LOVE ONLY ME....
another great Dan Seals song.
Jimmy Seals is of Seals and Crofts; Dan Seals was Jimmy’s brother. ✌️
My favorite song from Seals and Crofts!
Jim Seals brother Dan Seals (RIP), is also a superstar. Nights are Forever. Can you image that much talent at the same dinner table?
Even more than that, they are cousins to Country Vocalist from the 90’s group “Little Texas” Brady Seals, 70’s Country Artist Johnny Duncan, and Singer Songwriter TRoy Seals.
The family talent flows like a raging river
@@kevinfarrell3121didn't know that. Talented family
This was the very first concert I went to, with the first love of my life, in 1973. Only the memories remain.
This was popular during my incarnation as a music major in the early 70s. One of the duo had a wife named Ruby. He wrote the song Diamond Girl for her.
Wikipedia says that Seals and Croft wrote and originally recorded the song but they list 49 other artists who covered it including The Isley Brothers, The Main Ingredient, Percy Faith and Jason Mraz.
Oh this is a winner for sure!! Also Diamond Girl! 😊❤One of the best “chill” groups of my time and the harmonies are great! ❤
I HATE TO GET REDUNDANT BUT THIS YOUNG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP WHEN IT COMES TO UA-cam MUSIC AND REACTIONS PLUS INFORMATION COWBOYS!!!!🥰👍
Scents can bring back memories. Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Yes do check out their diamond girl as noted herein, but also my fave Get Closer.
Huge smile on my face all the way through this, Britt. Wow, it really does evoke lush memories of childhood in the 70s in the summer. ❤
I always thought of it as in his mind the summer breeze is blowing through the jasmine. The lyrics are about all the little non events that make up a treasured memory, which is so relatable and perfect.

Hopefully Britt listens to this again I'm guessing she's blasting it while hanging with the kids.
You know she will, lol. She loves her music.
This is seriously one of my favorite songs of all time. Such a vibe.
Jasmine’s fragance is sweet. It is small white flower and its smell is similar to Gardenia flowers.
I suggest to play “Diamond Girl”
Love this tune. Always takes me back to the 70’s summers. Like a sense memory.
I associate the wonderful smell of jasmine in the air more with late spring but it could easily be early summer. What an incredible way to additionally capture that moment that he's painting, to combine it with a nostalgic sense of fragrance on the gentle breeze.
A good song from Seals and Crofts. I recommend you also do one of their songs called 'Hummingbird
My favorite song of theirs.

Brings back beautiful memories!
Jasmine and honey suckle were very common landscape plants. They would bloom in the summer, and the heat would just fill the air with their sweet essence.
Nowadays I smell it and am transported to another time.
This song has always made me subconsciously smell it.
The words are poetry.
My daughter is such a fan of 70’s music and of this duo, that she named her 1st son Crosby after David Crosby.
That’s a good name.
Maybe she’ll have two more and name them Stills and Nash.
@@jessediaz1293 She’s not going to do that to me! She’s given me 3 grandkids which is 2 more than I gave my mom. The youngest which also is a boy doesn’t have a first name associated with a famous singer/ band, but my eldest is Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer).
Closer To You another great sing by them with a great background female singer.
I was 11 when this song came out. I can still visualize dancing to this song in my grandma’s kitchen. I still get jazzed whenever I hear this song!!
Another great song
LET YOUR LOVE FLOW by
The Bellamy Brothers
For another Summer Anthem pick, check out The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City it's a different feel entirely, but right up your alley.
Wow this brings me back to a long time ago. Living is a small apartment making an effort to go back to school. Everything change for me after that. I can still smell the air back then. That's what music does. Thanks Britt love your reactions, great job!
I love this song! It reminds me of growing up in the Deep South. Summer nights are so nice. I would love to have Jasmine growing all over my porch.
Takes me to summer and fall of 1973. Senior year of high school. Times went fast. Very melancholy listening. Parents gone. Thought those days would be forever.
Listen to the album version, too. That's the way we all heard it originally. It's magical!
Seals & Croft are amazing. You will enjoy all that they recorded. You'd also enjoy 'England Dan & John Ford Coley'. There are 2 brothers & 1 each is in both of these duos. 🎉
I feel so nostalgic when I hear this song that it almost brings me to tears.
One of my faves from 'back in the day'. Their hits are tremendous, but I recommend a deep cut called East of Ginger Trees. Gives a bit more of their mystical vibe.
jassmine is a very fragrant summer flower in south carolina. to me hanging out in the yard smelling flowers evening summertime. the memory of all that .
Would hear this song on the radio all the time. During the summer hanging out at the beach with this playing was heaven.

Takes me back 50 years. I remember this song so clearly back in the day. Never listened to the lyrics as a kid, but it screams summer.
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts. I knew them. They wrote this and many other great songs. I got to hear all of them before they were on record. Jim's brother Dan was also part of a duo.

I was a kid in 1975. I remember my parents driving to the cape windows down and this song blasting from the 8 track.
Love this song. Perfect song to feel the summer breeze
This is the most peaceful sounding song ever.
The lyrics paint a picture of exactly what you’re thinking of.
Seals and Croft had a list of great songs!! One of my favorites is Ruby Jean and Billie Lee.
2 kinds of Jasmine one is just a ivy like green grown cover , the other is a climbing ivy type that has smalk white flowers and smell kind of like honey suckle .
🇨🇦 Now imagine that Summer Breeze, and the way it felt in 1972 ! Jasmine is also a scent ! 🇨🇦
The great Louie Shelton on lead guitar. He played on many hits from that era. He also produced albums for Seals & Croft.
Love S&C, great song writers. The Isley's cover is definately worth a listen as well. Their sound is different, but just as awesome. 😊
Seals and Crofts are their last names, they both can play many instruments and thet both were part of the band 'The Champs' known for the 1958 classic called 'Tequila'. I saw them live in the 70's and they were great!

he's picturing or imagining in his mind fields of the Jasmine flower being blown around by the summer breeze, be a nice place to sleep for a bit. . .
In vocative of beautiful summers back in the day ❤️❤️ it was the Isley brothers in my day
