Four more losses to reflect on here, early Spring 2026…
These 4 guys were a songwriter and singer noted for writing “Angel of the Morning” and “Wild Thing”; a musician, one half of Seals & Croft; a keyboardist and founding member of Ambrosia; and a character actor best known for Top Gun and Back to the Future.
Born October 17, 1941, in Sidney, Texas to oilman and musician Wayland Seals[1], Jim Seals was a fiddle champion in his youth and later took up the saxophone. Seals joined an outfit called Dean Beard and the Crew Cats, in which he played sax; later on, Dash Crofts joined Seals in the band.
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts were both born in Texas, Seals in Sidney and Crofts in Cisco.
