Diamond Girl - Seals & Crofts (1973) 8/14/21

Is today's "Great Song of the'70s" about God, a girl, or both?

It's a good question, and one that Dan Seals & Dash Crofts left up to interpretation. On the surface, 1973's "Diamond Girl" is definitely a love song about a particular woman, but many music critics and fans felt a deep dive into the lyrics revealed a commitment to God. Definitely food for thought. But on the other hand, the song is so light and breezy, it's just a pleasant way to spend 4 minutes. :-) "Diamond Girl" was a hit in both the US and Canada, reaching #4 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart and #6 on the Hot 100. Up north, the matching numbers were #2 and #13. "Diamond Girl:" a "Great Song of 1973" from Seals & Crofts.
