Sad news for country music fans: Daniel Wayland Seals, the Texas-born, CMA-award-winning singer who piled up 11 No. 1 songs between 1985 and 1990, passed away yesterday after a battle with mantle cell lymphoma. Initially known to pop fans as the "England Dan" half of England Dan and John Ford Coley, who had a No. 2 single in 1976 with the soft-rocking classic "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," he went on to forge an impressive solo career in Nashville.
I know Dan was best known for his country hits like Bop, but at the risk of dating myself, I couldn't help but take a walk down memory lane and post this song from early on in his career that takes me back to my teens.
Dan had great crossover appeal -- perhaps some of our readers can name other artists who have found success on multiple charts?
