About Dan Seals

Seals first gained fame as "England Dan" in the pop-rock duo, England Dan & John Ford Coley. The pair’s 1976 hit "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" cemented their place in pop history, followed by other classics, "Nights Are Forever Without You” and “Love Is The Answer."

In 1984, "God Must Be a Cowboy" gave him his first country top 10 hit, paving the way for a run of 11 No. 1 Billboard country hits. Hits includes, "Bop," "Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)," and "Meet Me in Montana" with Marie Osmond. His work earned him two CMA awards, multiple GRAMMY nominations and a loyal fanbase.

When the radio hits slowed, Seals remained a touring act, later performing with his brother Jim (from Seals & Crofts) as Seals & Seals, bringing their respective catalogs to audiences worldwide. Diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in 2007, Seals passed away on March 25, 2009, at 8:30 p.m. He was posthumously inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2025.
