Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jive is the seventh album by the pop rock duo England Dan & John Ford Coley. The single “Love Is the Answer” was an American hit, reaching #10. Two other songs on the album later became country and pop hits for other artists: “Broken Hearted Me” was a success for Anne Murray in 1979, and Michael Martin Murphey scored a hit with “What’s Forever For” in 1982.

England Dan & John Ford Coley were an American soft rock duo composed of Danny Wayland “England Dan” Seals and John Edward “John Ford” Coley, active throughout the 1970s. Native Texans, 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. After they disbanded, Seals began performing as Dan Seals and launched a country music career through the 1980s which produced 11 No. 1 country hits.
