Seth Swirsky (born August 5, 1960) is an American pop music songwriter (including the Grammy-nominated "Tell It to My Heart"), an author, a recording artist, a filmmaker, a political writer and a noted baseball memorabilia collector.

Songwriter

After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1982,[1] Swirsky wrote the Grammy-nominated hit "Tell It to My Heart" with Ernie Gold for Taylor Dayne.[2][3] The song was on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart for six months in 1988, reaching No. 7.[4]

The song was also a No. 1 hit in Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden and No. 3 in the UK.[3] In 2002, Kelly Llorenna’s version of the song went to No. 9 on the British charts.[5] The song won Swirsky an ASCAP songwriter's award for being one of the most performed songs of the year.[citation needed] In 2006, the song was recorded by the Royal Gigolos and spent two weeks on the Swiss charts at No. 2.[6] The song was used in the national[clarification needed] ad campaign for Cheetos in 2016.[7]

Swirsky wrote Dayne's follow-up top ten hit, "Prove Your Love," with Arnie Roman.[8] That song was a No. 7 Billboard pop hit as well as a No. 1 Billboard dance hit.[4] It reached No. 1 in Switzerland, No. 4 in Germany and No. 8 in the UK.[citation needed]

Swirsky wrote "Love is a Beautiful Thing," which was recorded by Al Green for his 1995 album Your Heart's in Good Hands.[9] Green's version was also used as Revlon's theme song in their international ad campaign in 2004.[10][dead link‍]

Swirsky composed "Instant Pleasure" for Rufus Wainwright, which was featured in Adam Sandler's Big Daddy (1999).[citation needed] He wrote "Did You Give Enough Love" with Arnie Roman for Celine Dion (a top 20 song in Canada),[citation needed] "Tear it Up" with Gardner Cole for Michael McDonald[citation needed] (a Billboard top 20 Adult Contemporary hit[citation needed] and top 40 British charting single[11]), "After All"[citation needed] for Air Supply, "Not Gonna Be the One" for Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits album, Back to Basics: The Essential Collection 1971–1992[12] and "Christmas Lullaby" for Faith Evans.[citation needed] Others he has written songs for include Jane Weidlin[13] of The Go-Go's, Peter Allen,[14] Lara Fabian, The Four Tops, The Spinners, The Delfonics, Deniece Williams, Brenda K. Starr,[14] Trey Lorenz, Melissa Manchester, Rita Coolidge, Exposé[15] and Wild Orchid.

During his career he has collaborated with Eric Carmen[citation needed] of Raspberries, David Pack[16] of Ambrosia, Marshall Crenshaw, Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals, Cy Curnin[17] of The Fixx, Jim Ellison[18] of Material Issue, Gerry Goffin, Chynna Phillips and Steve Kipner.[14]

Swirsky was featured as the "Writer of the Week" in the 2011 Nov./Dec.issue of American Songwriter magazine.[19] That same year, he sang the National Anthem before a Cubs baseball game at Wrigley Field.[20]

Mariah Carey plagiarism lawsuit

In 2000, Swirsky and co-writer Warryn Campbell filed a copyright infringement lawsuit claiming that the Mariah Carey song "Thank God I Found You" plagiarized "One of Those Love Songs", a song which Swirsky and Campbell wrote for Xscape's 1998 Traces of My Lipstick album.[21]

In the precedent-setting Swirsky v. Carey decision, which clarified the standard for proving copyright infringement, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned the initial 2002 dismissal of the case.[22][23][24] The case was settled out of court in April 2006.[25]

Recordings

Swirsky was named in Music Connection magazine's December 2010 issue as one of the Hot 100 unsigned artists of the year.[26]

Instant Pleasure

In 2005, Swirsky's first solo album, Instant Pleasure, was released.[27] Guest appearances on the 11-song album, produced by Jewel drummer Dorian Crozier, include Andy Sturmer of Jellyfish, The Rembrandts, Michael Chavez of John Mayer's band and Justin Meldal-Johnsen of Beck.

Watercolor Day

Swirsky's second solo album, Watercolor Day, was released on May 18, 2010.[28] The title song, Watercolor Day, won Best Pop Song of the year at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) on November 18, 2010.[29] Goldmine Magazine said "Seth Swirsky's Watercolor Day is the first great power pop record of 2010"[30] and named it the No. 4 Best Pop record in their 2010 year-end poll.[31] The Loft said it that was the station's "Album of the Summer."[32] In Tim Cain's 2010 Top 20-year-end "Best Of" list in the Illinois Herald Review, he included Watercolor Day at No. 14.[33]

Circles and Squares

Swirsky's 3rd solo record, the 16-song, Circles and Squares, was released by Grimble Records on August 19, 2016.[34] The Wall Street Journal’s Marc Myers wrote "On his new album, Circles and Squares, Seth has captured the spirit and textured sound of the Fab Four in their late period.[35] Goldmine Magazine called Circles and Squares a "tour-de-force that's not to be missed," comparing it to Paul McCartney's 1970's solo debut, McCartney.[36] The songs Shine and Circles and Squares were "DJ PICKS" on the Los Angeles radio station KCRW.[37][38] Swirsky played all of the instruments on the album, except for two small parts.[39] The fourth song from the album, Far Away, was among the nominees for Song of the Year in the September listing of the 2016 HMMA.[40]

It was listed as No. 7 by Goldmine Magazine in its albums of the year.[41]

The Red Button

Swirsky's album of pop songs, She's About to Cross My Mind, recorded with Mike Ruekberg under the group name The Red Button, was released in February 2007.[42]

Another song from the album, Cruel Girl, was named the 2nd Best Song of 2007 by Popbang Radio.[43]

A second album by The Red Button, entitled "As Far As Yesterday Goes," was released on June 21, 2011.[44]

The song Picture from The Red Button's second album was nominated for Best Pop Song at the 2011 HMMA.[45]

The Red Button was named to Music Connection Magazine's 2011 Hot 100 Unsigned Artist list.[46]

The Red Button was signed by Jem Records in March 2017, and released its third album called "Now It's All This!", on October 20, 2017.[47]

The Red Button featuring Peter Noone

In 2018, Peter Noone recorded one of Swirsky's songs, Ooh Girl, that originally was recorded by The Red Button. The single release was billed as The Red Button featuring Peter Noone.[48]

Baseball collection

Swirsky's baseball collection included the ball that went between Bill Buckner's legs in the 1986 World Series (it was originally owned by Charlie Sheen; Swirsky got it in April 2000);[49] the only known bottle of 1986 sparkling wine from the Red Sox celebration that would never be;[50] Reggie Jackson's third home run ball from the 1977 World Series; a ball signed by The Beatles the night they played their famous Shea Stadium concert in 1965; Tom Seaver's 1969 World Series jersey; the only known surviving ball from the second game of Johnny Vander Meer's two consecutive no-hitters, and the letter written by baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banning Shoeless Joe Jackson from playing Major League Baseball,[51] among other historic items. The Buckner ball went up for auction on October 15, 2011 for $1 million.[52] It failed to sell.[53][54]

The "Buckner Ball" that brought Ray Knight home with the winning run in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series was on display at the Mets Hall of Fame & Museum at Citi Field during the 2010 baseball season.[55] Many pieces in the collection were featured in baseball retrospectives at the Queens Museum of Art and The Bronx Museum of the Arts in 2004.[56]

Swirsky sold his 250 piece collection on May 3, 2012 through Heritage Auctions for close to $1.5 million. The ball that went through Buckner's legs sold for $418,250 to a buyer who initially was anonymous but was later revealed to be Steve Cohen, who purchased the New York Mets in 2020.[57][58][59]
