By the early '70s, Seals & Croft had already released a studio album under Warner Bros. before they started working on their next release, Summer Breeze. Sadly, the duo had yet to make an impact on the charts with a standout single until they reworked a longtime idea, "Summer Breeze."
"A very simple song about a man coming home from work and hearing the dog barking and things like that, and to a lot of people the song's about looking for security. Our meaning goes further than that, for a prison can be the prison of self and a person can become insecure and paranoid if he doesn't have a direction in his personal life," said Seals about the track, according to SongFacts.
According to American Songwriter, the rock duo took promoting their track into their own hands while on tour. They hand-delivered "Summer Breeze" to the most popular DJs in Boston and soon got constant radio airplay.
In the mid 1990's, "Summer Breeze" was covered again by the gothic metal band Type O Negative, with reworked lyrics by frontman Peter Steele. Seals & Crofts found the content of the lyrics distasteful, leading Steele to sing the original words of the song.
