I remember hearing this on the radio as a child. My mother played the radio in the house a lot during that time, and even though she was from an older generation (she grew up in the 50s) she really seemed to enjoy the music of the early 70s. One afternoon I came in from playing outside with my friends and saw my mom cooking dinner, humming to this song as it played softly on the kitchen radio. She was so beautiful and seemed so happy that day. That memory stuck with me, even now, 21 years after losing her, it still makes me smile.

Christmas 1972, my very loud R&R band was playing a dinner party. Just after starting to play, the owner of the venue ordered us to stop and shut off our amps. Panic. Immediately, my buddy, Jim, and I broke out our acoustic guitars and began to play Summer Breeze, while our manager negotiated with the owner. The partygoers loved it. And, minutes later, the owner agreed to allow us to restart our amps and continue with our R&R songs. To this day, I believe that it was Summer Breeze that saved the day. It still is a special song, 50 years later. Thank you professor for this wonderful walk and for your passionate enthusiasm.

Even to this day, when I hear it, it instantly takes me back to the summer days of my youth where it was just me, my horse, dusty country roads, barn swallows, the radio playing quietly in the tack room, the jasmine climbing the trellis out by the house; the picture that the lyrics are painting closely match my memories of those special days. Whenever I feel depressed, this song often plays in my head and before I know it I am singing it to myself, and it lifts me back up

And I made the connection of Jim Seals and Dan Seals, as I also loved England Dan and John Ford Coley, especially their version of Todd Rundgren's Love is the Answer, another one of my favorite songs.

I think that is the magic of this song in that it will bring back memories of a quiet simple summer no matter where you grew up. To me ;Summer Breeze; brings back scents of my father's roses and my mother's flower garden. Those were times when most houses did not have air conditioning and you always had windows open to the breeze.

Summer Breeze always takes me back to a very specific moment of my childhood. I was in grade school and my parents and I had been out late, visiting friends. We got home around 1am or so. It was summertime. Instead of going to bed, we stayed up sitting on our front porch, listening to music, on a radio. Summer Breeze was playing and my mom decided to have some fun, by chasing me and my dad around with the hose and soaking us, especially me. The whole street was quiet and empty, except for my parents & I having so much fun, while Summer Breeze played in the background.

If you read anything about the Baha’i Faith & the prophet, Bahá’u’lláh, you will notice subtle references to to Bahá’u’lláh & hhis teachings of love (of God & that we are all brothers & sisters in this world & should treat each other with love & respect & kindness). References to jasmine are about the jasmine in the garden in Persia where the prophet announced that he was the awaited prophet to bring the message of spiritual growth our modernfor our era

Yikes! I got cut off before I finished my reply! Bahá’u’lláh was ushering in what Jesus had been trying to teach us for a new era.Summer Breeze invokes that gentle time of love & unity after so much world violence.The mention of key words like jasmine, hummingbird, a new day is dawning for us all, the draught of understanding, wisdom, peace and love is ours. It is easier to see the Baha’i message in Hummingbird. Heavenly Songbird we were so wrong, we’ve harmed you Oh Hummingbird, lend us your wings let us soar in atmosphere of Abha “ Lift us up to the heaven of holiness “Oh Source of our being!” The sweetness of your nectar (ie. the teachings) has drawn me like a fly. I just love you , love you, love you “. The Seeker in the song has met Bahá’u’lláh perhaps in the Garden of Ridvan & has heard the message of love, kindness, unity through diversity & his spirit has been impressed. East of Ginger trees is another reference to the Baha’i Faith: The Gentle Religion. Any Baha’is I’ve met have been aware of the Seals & Croft duo. Their harmonies are gentle & beautiful, their songs speak of love of family (the whole human family?) & love of mankind & love of Bahá’u’lláh, the messenger of God for our daysJust think about how you feel when you listen to their songs…gentle, invokes fond memories that are innocent & nostalgic.Summer Breeze is one of my favourite songs. I bought the vinyl in 1972 when I was in Capilano College in Vancouver as an art student & played it constantly! It was uplifting in more ways than one! I became a Baha’i at that time. A “Fireside” was a gathering of Baha’is that could be attended by non-Baha’is…Seekers curious to find out what it was all about. And what could be welcoming than a fireside gathering? Thank you, thank you for featuring. Seals & Crofts! Paying tribute to that beautiful song that I could listen to forever. And sharing that surprising & charming piece of info about the toy piano! I will be sharing your post with my Baha’i friends. Just started watching your show and I love it! Keep up the good work! Take care!

Your channel reminds me of how lucky we were as a generation to have such great music. We really needed it, as the Vietnam war, racism, and Nixon were enough to make you light up and never want to come down. The song Get Together by the Youngbloods was my anthem.

Summer Breeze was one of the great. hits of the 70's. The Toys R Us toy piano filled the sound out to make it richer. I'm hearing a sound that is enriched by the toy piano and lyrics that were very intelligent and metaphysical. What makes it standout is the gentle vocals that capture the calming moment of the record.

Your comment of how the song takes you back to your grandparents back porch. That resonated with me. I remember the exact same thing in my childhood almost 70 years ago, except for me it was my grandparents, front porch, and the quiet little Street with the cicadas singing And grandma and grandpa. How sweet.

Wow! This brings back memories.... In 1972 we were living in San Jose, California. I must have been in 8th grade or so... We had recently purchased an Admiral Stereo Tuner. Not real high end, but not schlock either. (I still own it!) I was laying on the living room floor listening to K-101 (KIOI) out of San Francisco with the stereo headsets.. K-101 always had a slight echo effect behind their programming... ELP's "In the Beginning" played, followed by Seals And Croft's "Summer Breeze". Pure Rock & Roll Musical Heaven!!! To this day, every time I hear either one of those songs, it take me back to that moment in 1972...

Dear professor, My teenage years were the late sixties and early seventies. I grew up listening to the AM radio. Laying on the beach near the ocean in the Summer with the AM radio playing. Listening to Seals and Croft. There was a mixture of hard rock and soft rock at that time. I guess it just depended on which station you were listening to. But the song Summer Breeze was one of my favorites. Because I grew up on a lake just outside of Boston, and the Summer Breeze was just a wonderful thing coming off the water. Whenever I hear the song today it always reminds me of my childhood home. Your in depth information about each artist that you feature it's just amazing. At this point after listening to you for the last few years, I really have to put you up there with Casey Kasem or Ryan Seacrest. Each one of your videos are a glimpse back into my youth. And I love music as much as you do and being reminded of all the vinyl records that I used to listen to as a teenager it's just a sweet and wonderful memory that you always bring back. I wish today the formats were different. So that you could highlight your own show in the mainstream. American Bandstand with Dick Clark. Soul Train with Don Cornelius. Burnt Sugarman's The midnight Special. The show Solid Gold. These are all the shows I grew up with and the different DJs or announcers that hosted them. Something's definitely missing in today's music world where these variety shows where a mainstay of American music. And highlighted all of the different up and coming popular artists of the day. Or a British music show Jools Holland Hootenanny or Later With Jools Holland. How about, The Professor of Rock Music Hour? You are deserving of being held in the companies of these wonderful shows. You just do a fantastic job of bring the history, the artistry, and the live interviews with these wonderful artists back to life for all of us music lovers. Thank you so much for what you do. You just bring back such good memories of the music that made me so happy when I was younger. And it makes me revisit all of the music that I used to listen to. And it makes me feel young again watching your show. Keep up the good work because you're doing what you love. And all your effort is shining through your show. Thank you again!

That song came out when I was around 12 years old, and I still remember to this day, exactly where I was the first time I heard it on the car radio, on the only station we were allowed to listen to. While other kids my age were listening to the local Rock FM station, this one we heard on AM. Thanks for the backstory on this song, which is one of the great ones of the 70s.

I was just starting my adult work life as a carpenter in '72, and much of the '70s, the "Me Decade," seemed so superficial and artificial, with bell-bottom pants, sideburns, plasticky music (with notable exceptions), and a self-absorbed "yacht-rock" culture. Summer Breeze offered something magical on a hot afternoon making my way thru traffic on the way home from a sweaty, exhausting day at work in LA. The imagery Jim Seals gave us is so welcoming and comforting, everything a working person dreams of that makes all the sacrifice worthwhile. Home. Rest. Peace. Love. It's all there.

It’s odd that within the years of my lifetime, radio was still relying on local markets before a song would take off nationally. I still remember as a child this song blowing up the radio here in SW PA. Amazing memories. Professor, it’s odd that you have similar feelings to mine regarding that toy piano. I have the same thoughts on that instrument in Magnet and Steel by Walter Egan. In fact, I think that toy piano makes the song.

Thank you for covering "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts. This has always been one of my favorite songs. As a child of the 70s, I have always loved their music... I love it even more now. When I heard of Jim Seal's passing, I was so sad and played several Seals and Crofts' songs for my classic rock loving 17-year-old son. He was not familiar with them. Maybe he will remember that someday.... just like I remember listening to their music with my mom who passed in 2016. Passing down a tradition of loving great musical artists.

Thank you so much Professor for covering one of the most special songs that exists ,bc it will always remind me of when i was a little girl growing up at the first house i ever lived in, running in the backyard during warm summer nights and swimming until late in our above-ground little pool - then coming inside to get ready for bed, and im sure even more glorious summer memories. It was the first song i remember liking and giving me a happy feeling that i didnt know how to explain back then. I just know my mom knew i loved it and loved when it came on the radio. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Just when i think your channel couldnt get any better, you cover a magical, perfect song like this one that is so beautiful, sometimes it makes me want to cry, and i cant be more grateful to you for keeping this kind of music alive today. Artists just dont make perfect, heartwarming, detailed-filled songs like this anymore and i doubt they ever will, which makes its beauty even more bittersweet- but im lucky it exists at all for me to celebrate and reminisce with and remember my tender childhood days when i listen to it. I love you and love your channel -i'll be a fan for life! Music really makes my life worth living sometimes and speaks to me in a way that nothing or no one else can. Keep up the wonderful work! Xoxox😘❤✌️🎵 keep on rockin!

I grew up with Jimmy Seals 2 kids here in Costa Rica, we grew up to be great friends and started a band ourselves, Mr Seals and Mr Crofts gave me my first drum lessons, what a person he is (he is still alive in my heart forever!) and his sons are 2 of my best friends! He wrote many songs here in Costa Rica and is beloved as well, there is a street named after him. Thought I'd share my story with You Professor of Rock! Pura Vida, #1 fan in Costa Rica!
