Diamond Girl is the pop/folk duo Seals and Crofts' fifth studio album, and was one of the best sellers of the year, thanks largely to the title track, which made it to #6 on Billboard's hot 100 in the spring. It's a jazzy, minor-key shuffle with a walking bass line that was obviously heavily influenced by Van Morrison's Moondance. The follow-up single "We May Never Pass This Way Again" was also very popular, reaching #21 later in the year.
