The 1970's were the peak time for this duo, and this was their biggest hit.

England Dan is Dan Seals, who had a series of country hits after he stopped performing with Coley in 1980.

His older brother Jim was the Seals of Seals & Crofts, who had the hit "Summer Breeze."

Seals and Coley met in high school. This was their first single, and they followed it up with several other light favorites, including "Nights Are Forever Without You" and "We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again."

This was written by a Mississippi songwriter named Parker McGee, who also wrote "Nights Are Forever Without You."

When "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" was played to an executive at Atlantic Records, he turned it down.

However Doug Morris of Big Tree Records heard the song through the wall of his over-joining office and offered the duo a contract.

One of the great misheard lyrics appears in this song: "I'm not talking about movin' in" is often heard as "I'm not talking about the linen."

It eventually peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks, behind Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" and No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart.

Billboard ranked it as the No. 21 song for 1976.

It also reached No. 26 on the UK Singles Chart.

Qwilleran: Me? How about Me? Never mind. This is another new to me song. That's what I like about songs being shared, from our past enjoyment of songs, done as we choose to share. However, as Jerry would say, and me too, not available, listening will have to fill the bill. Very enjoyable listens.

Keith Wallin: @love That's what's so cool about karaoke sites. You get to hear some songs that you may have even forgotten. But as soon as you recognize them the songs take you right back to the time and place you first heard them. Appreciate the listen and the props a lot. Have a terrific rest of your week, Scarlett....:-)

Brad Mayo: The magic of music is that when a special song's melody springs alive after decades of being missing in one's mind. Your performance did just that. I checked and found I never sang this one before but the melody was like a permanent implant. Thanks for the spark Keith and oh ya, it's now on my list of todo's not far away. Enjoyed your performance my friend..
