Teamed with England Dan for string of hits

NEW HARTFORD — Singer-songwriter John Ford Coley will perform at the Parrott Delaney Tavern in New Hartford Saturday night.

Ford Coley is best known as half of the Grammynominated duo England Dan & John Ford Coley. Popular throughout the 1970s, the duo released 11 albums and nine singles in their career 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.
