lightweights with a few uptempo numbers, but they did it the right way: they presented themselves as a rock band that knew how to mellow out and explore different kinds of beautiful music.But they could never escape their marketing as "easy listening."That's a shame, because they deserve a higher place than history has afforded them in the rock music echelon.The depth of their music, the quality of their voices, the superiority of their sound, and the breadth of their musical range left us some great music, and their Greatest Hits is even greater than the sum of its parts.The real genius of this collection is in the sequencing.Was this review helpful to you?It was addressed specifically to the mother and her unborn child, and its sole purpose was to get the _mother_ to think about what a fateful decision she was making.Anyway, the rest of the songs on this collection represent a pretty good sample of what Seals and Crofts were capable of.Like another fringe duo, Brewer and Shipley, whose evocative lyrics and memorable arrangements (which are largely unavailable today, especially their terrific "Shake Off The Demon" album) propelled them into the spotlight with its like "One Toke Over The Line" and "Tarkio Road", Brewer and Shipley were never taken as seriously as the content of their music deserved.Of course, "Summer Breeze" itself was a number one hit, and is till a perennial favorite for FM play.Do yourself a favor and read the lyrics as you listen along, though, and you will discover what sweet, loving, and compassionate human beings these two erstwhile escapees from the deep poverty of the rural South really are.Let them play for you too, real soon.See all 72 customer reviews...Crofts were an underrated band that never got the proper attention they

"Get Closer" could only get as high as 37, but the single of the same name went to number 6.By now, Seals and Crofts had become a staple of easy listening FM radio, but their 1976 live album "Sudan Village" stalled at number 73.The pair was then approached to contribute to the sound track for the Robby Benson movie "One On One", from which their single "My Fair Share" became yet another Top 30

by heart.It's time to rerelease their old albums!Fan club) So I can truly say I love their music, the older stuff more then the newer ones, Unborn Child on back.Even Euphrates original track has a
