James 'Jim' Seals and Darrel 'Dash' Crofts first met when they were playing in the same band, Dean Beard and the Crew Cats. They relocated from Texas to Los Angeles where they, along with band mate Beard, joined The Champs. As well as band work, both Seals and Crofts had side projects - Seals composed 'It's Never Too Late' recorded by Brenda Lee and Crofts played in a band called The Dawnbreakers.
In 1963, Seals, Crofts, Jerry Cole and Glen Campbell left The Champs behind to form Glen Campbell and the GCs. Although the band only lasted a couple of years, the reputation that Seals and Crofts garnered from working with the likes of Campbell stood them in good stead for future endeavours. The pair decided to leave their band experiences behind them and form a duo, with Seals playing saxophone, guitar and violin and Crofts on guitar and mandolin. Their first three albums failed to make an impact on the charts but their fourth release, 'Summer Breeze', earned them a number seven position and a gold disc from R.I.A.A. Throughout the '70s, after the success of 'Summer Breeze', they performed at several festivals across America but their buzz ended when they were dropped from their record label and decided to take a break from music in 1980.
In 1991 they reunited for a few appearances, but this novelty wore off and they went their separate ways after just one year back on the road. In 2004 they got together again and recorded their first new material in 24 years, the album 'Traces'. This was to be their last recording as they decided to hang up their guitar straps for good.
