Noel catches up with John Ford Coley. John is best known as half of the Grammy nominated duo, England Dan and John Ford Coley. They released the Yacht Rock masterpiece, "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," in 1976. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks and topped the East Listening charts. Other hits include “Love Is The Answer”, “Gone Too Far”, “We’ll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again”, “Nights Are Forever Without You”, and “Sad To Belong”. John's latest album, “Sketches Vol. 1,” is also available on streaming sites. Hand-selected by Coley from his personal archives, the songs on “Sketches Vol. 1” were recorded throughout his storied career but never released until 2021. They include “Falling,” which he wrote with Dan Seals before he died in 2009.
