Jim Seals and Dash Crofts kicked off their singles career in 1972 with a song called "Summer Breeze." It wasn't a summer hit, though, as it peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Hot 100 and No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart in the autumn of 1972.

"Summer Breeze," in fact, made its AC debut the week of Oct. 21, 1972. This week, the Seals & Crofts song re-enters the AC chart in remixed form, just in time for the impending start of summer 2004. The gap of 31 years and eight months is the longest break for any song that has re-entered the AC chart. And "the Gap" is why "Summer Breeze" is back with us. The remix of the Seals & Crofts track was constructed for a Gap commercial.

"Summer Breeze" is the first Seals & Crofts song to appear on the AC chart in 23 years, seven months and three weeks. "First Love" debuted the week of Sept. 27, 1980 and peaked at No. 37 in a six-week chart run.
