This week on From the Vault we present legendary rock duo Seals and Crofts performing live on WBAI’s storied show, Free Music Store. Although the Free Music Store show was on-air for only three years (1969-1972), it’s producers had a knack for landing bands and artists just before the their rise to fame and fortune. Seals and Crofts were certainly no exception. Still not yet a household name, and with most of their commercial hits yet to be written, Seals and Crofts took the stage at WBAI’s old “church†studios on November 14, 1971 – the very first time they would ever perform in front of a live studio audience.
From the Vault is presented through the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, past grants from the Grammy Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners.
