Seals and Crofts were an American soft rock duo made up of James Eugene “Jim” Seals (born October 17, 1942) and Darrell George “Dash” Crofts (born August 14, 1938). They are best known for their hits “Summer Breeze” (1972), “Diamond Girl” (1973), and “Get Closer” (1976), which each peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Both members have long been public advocates of the Baháʼí Faith. Though the duo disbanded in 1980, they reunited briefly in 1991–1992, and again in 2004, when they released their final album, Traces.

Diamond Girl
You sure do shine
Glad I found you
Glad you’re mine
Oh, my love
You’re like a precious stone
Part of earth where
Heaven has rained on
Makes no difference
Where you are
Day or night time
You’re like a shining star
And how could I
Shine without you
When it’s about you
That I am, woah, oh
Diamond Girl
Roaming wild
Such a rare thing
Radiant child
I could never find
Another one like you
Part of me is
Deep down inside you
Can’t you feel
The whole world turning
We are real and
We are burning, yeah
Diamond Girl
Now that I’ve found you
Well, it’s about you that I am
Whoa, Whoa, oh
Diamond Girl
You sure do shine
Diamond Girl
You sure do shine
Diamond Girl
You sure do shine
Diamond Girl
You sure do, you sure do
You sure do shine

Love ‘summer breeze’ – will give this a listen when I’m doing the Roomba rhumba…

You forget how good some of these old ones are…they don’t make music like his now….Is Diamond Girl’s a bit too uptempo for the rhumba?
