A Tribute to Dan Seals

Patrick: I love Dan Seal's music. See the videos below for a small sampling.

I heard him live at a July 4th Concert in Denver in the early to mid-90's. He was wonderful. This week I've been listening to Rage On -- one of my all-time favorite albums. I had no idea he was battling cancer. So sorry we've lost him. He was gold.

Pop singer turned country star Dan Seals has died of complications of cancer. He was 61. Seals died Wednesday at his daughter's home in Nashville, after a battle with lymphoma. ...Dan Seals sang under the name England Dan in the 1970s in a duo with John Ford Coley. They had several hits, including I'd Really Like to See You Tonight, Nights are Forever and Love is the Answer...

Seals then began a solo career, climbing the country charts with hits such as God Must Be a Cowboy, My Baby's Got Good Timing, Bop, and You Still Move Me. His duet with Marie Osmond, Meet Me in Montana, was a chart-topper in 1985 and earned the pair a Country Music Association Award for best vocal duo.

Patrick: In this video you can see left-handed Dan playing a right-handed guitar. He had to do all the chords upside down. Even in this live rendition of the song he hits all the falsetto parts perfectly. What a voice!
