Most people know Dan Seals as a country music legend — but before the hits on country radio, he was England Dan, one half of the massively successful duo England Dan & John Ford Coley.
In this episode of the Drifting Cowboy Podcast, John Ford Coley sits down with me to tell the real story behind his partnership with Dan Seals, the rise of England Dan & John Ford Coley, and the honest, human reasons the duo ultimately broke up. John opens up about Dan’s transition into country music stardom, life after the split, and what it was really like navigating success at the height of the 1970s music industry.
John also shares incredible firsthand stories from touring with Elton John, opening for Led Zeppelin, sharing stages with Three Dog Night, and how his career unexpectedly shifted into acting after the duo came to an end.
This isn’t gossip or revisionist history — it’s reflection, perspective, and music history told by the man who lived it.
If you’ve ever wondered why Dan Seals walked away from England Dan, or how one of the biggest soft-rock duos of the 1970s came to an end, this conversation finally fills in the blanks.
