Editoral Review The key is in their tight songwriting. Although the prime exponents of the '70s California soft rock style were album artists such as America, Bread, and Poco, Seals and Crofts--essentially an AM singles band--have aged even better. "Summer Breeze," "Diamond Girl," and the rest of the hits display an odd, but apt, sense of arrangement and instrumentation--and enough of a rock & roll sensibility to keep their sound from slumping into period piece laid-backism. Case in point: The duo's first band was the Champs, noted for the fake-Latin crudhopper "Tequila. " Even so, it's not grit, but ace songcraft that captures the prize here. All of the ace songs are included. --Gavin McNett .. You can see a complete list of all Seals & Crofts discography, or go back to the Seals & Crofts tabs
