What Do President George Bush, Senator Edward Kennedy, Babe Ruth, Bobby Thompson, Celine Dion And Al Green Have In Common?  Hit Songwriter And Best-Selling Baseball Author Seth Swirsky

Bookmark and Share

Fans of baseball know Seth Swirsky, as the creator of three best selling books, that consist of the actual handwritten letters to him from baseball players, such as Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken Jr., Bobby Thompson, Ralph Branca, Mookie Wilson, Roger Clemens and Ted Williams. Not only letters from players but also widely known fans of baseball, like Paul McCartney, both President Bush's, Buzz Aldrin, Warren Buffett, Senator Ted Kennedy, Meet The Press anchor Tim Russert, Bob Costas and many others. The books are called Baseball Letters (Random House, 1996), Every Pitcher Tells A Story (Times Books, 1999) and Something to Write Home About (Random House, 2003).

Music enthusiasts are aware of Seth's talent as a hit songwriter penning some 350 songs for the music world's top recording artists. Seth has written hit songs for artists ranging from Rufus Wainwright to Al Green, Celine Dion to Michael McDonald. His songs have been on 24 gold and platinum records and have been featured in some of Hollywood 's biggest movies, among them, Legally Blond , Two Weeks Notice and Big Daddy .

Seth's debut album Instant Pleasure was released on October 1st. Currently, Seth's song "Love Is A Beautiful Thing" sung by Al Green was chosen by Almay for their new international television advertising campaign. The single from the record, "It's Still Love" was originally written for Ringo Starr as a paean to the Beatles universal message on "All You Need Is Love" that love is STILL all you need.

Speaking of the Beatles, Seth will fulfill a boyhood dream and perform at the world famous Cavern Club in Liverpool , England on October 25th as part of the International Pop Overthrow Festival (www.internationalpopoverthrow.com).

As a visual artist, Seth creates 3-dimensional pieces of art from objects in his life. For instance, he took the front of his old Pioneer stereo receiver and made a collage (in the dial window) of his favorite artists that he listened to growing up. Another piece consists of all 112 pins from Bobby Kennedy's 1968 short-lived run for the presidency. It's called "Bobby Pins". Seth's multi-colored poster called "ARTiculate" hangs in offices, homes and schools across the world.

You can experience the "manic expressive" world of Seth Swirsky' and his music, books, artwork, and baseball collection at www.seth.com.
