Pop, country singer Dan Seals dies of cancer
March 26, 2009, 12:39 PM EST
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Dan Seals, who was England Dan in the pop duo England Dan and John Ford Coley and later had a successful country career, has died of complications from cancer. He was 61.
Longtime manager Tony Gottlieb said Seals, diagnosed with lymphoma two years ago, died Wednesday night at his daughter's home in Nashville.
With England Dan and John Ford Coley, Seals had hits including "I'd Really Like to See You Tonight" and "Nights Are Forever," both in 1976. His country hits in the '80s and '90s included "Bop," "You Still Move Me," "Love on Arrival," and a duet with Marie Osmond, "Meet Me in Montana."
Sad news indeed. I enjoyed this man's music.
Wait, this isn't the same guy that was in Seals and Crofts?

@edgarblythe,
Dan Seals was the younger brother of
Seals & Crofts member Jim Seals.
He first gained fame as the "England Dan", half of the soft rock duo
England Dan & John Ford Coley, which charted nine pop and adult contemporary singles between 1976 and 1980, including the No. 2 Billboard Hot 100 hit "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight".
