Jimmy Passes, 80

Jimmy Seals (left) of Seals and Crofts, the popular 1960s-70s folk duo with hits including “Summer Breeze”, “Diamond Girl”, “King of Nothing”, and “We May Never Pass This Way Again”.

They first came to my attention in 1970 after their memorable, poetic Down Home album (lyrics below).

“The world we know is living                                                                                                              In a hand me down shoe, hand me down shoe                                                                           And don’t you know that the shoe don’t fit                                                                                Maybe there’s a hole in it.”

One of The Guess Who’s hits, “Hand Me Down World” was likely inspired by this song.
