Singer, songwriter and musician Darrell George "Dash" Crofts, of Seals and Croft, died on March 25. He was 85. Seals and Crofts first played in The Champs (1958-65; Glen Campbell was a member), then renamed themselves Seals and Crofts, from 1969. They had giant hits with "Summer Breeze," "We May Never Pass This Way (Again),” and "Diamond Girl,” as well as the anti-choice song “Unborn Child” (1974), which lost them a good many fans. Seals and Crofts played together, off and on, through 2004. Jim Seals died in 2022. Crofts said that “About the same time as people like Crosby Stills and Nash, we realized that we had to get out of the money-making aspect of loud rock ‘n’ roll into some music which we really believed in.”
