Singer-songwriter John Ford Coley – best known as half of the Grammy-nominated duo England Dan and John Ford Coley – performs at the Sellersville Theater at 8 p.m. Feb. 22.
Active throughout the 1970s, the duo released 11 albums and nine singles and are best known for their 1976 single, “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight,” a No. 2 pop hit and No. 1 Adult Contemporary hit.
They had six Top 40 singles between 1976 and 1979. Among their classic hits are “Love Is the Answer,” “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight,” “Nights Are Forever Without You,” “It’s Sad to Belong,” and “We’ll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again.”
After the duo disbanded, Coley began an acting career, making several television and film appearances in the 1980s. He returned to an active touring schedule in the 1990s, along with serving as co-producer for artists such as Eddie Money.
He has also written his autobiography, titled “Backstage Pass,” which tells tales of his many years in the music business.
