Taught by his father to play the upright bass, in high school, Dan Seals joined with piano-playing friend John Ford Coley to perform as "England Dan & John Ford Coley." The two would eventually have several hits performing singing pop rock harmonies. They disbanded in 1980 and since then Dan Seals has been performing as a solo artist.

Between 1985 and 1990, Seals scored 10 #1 hits, 7 of them consecutively, on the country charts. His first #1, "Bop", won the CMA Award for best single in 1986 and had some crossover success as well; the song reached #10 on the adult contemporary charts and #42 in the Billboard Hot 100. Seals also won a CMA award in 1986 for a duet with Marie Osmond.
