Chanteuse Country US née
Marilyn Jeanne Seely, le 6 Juillet 1940 à Titusville
(Pennsylvanie).
Jeannie Seely was
known primarily as a duet partner, but she managed a few country hits of her own
during the late '60s and early '70s. A native of Titusville, Pennsylvania, Seely was
born in 1940 and first performed on the radio at age 11. She sang at local
dances and talent shows as a teen and moved to Los Angeles in 1961, where she
worked as a secretary for a record company and honed her songwriting in the
meantime. A deal with Challenge Records went nowhere, but when Dottie
West recorded one of her songs in 1965, she heeded the advice of songwriter Hank
Cochran and moved to Nashville. Almost immediately, she caught a big break
when she was hired to replace Norma
Jean as Porter
Wagoner's television and touring duet partner. She landed a solo deal with
Monument in 1966 and scored a major smash with "Don't Touch Me," a number two
hit penned by Cochran,
who later became her husband. The song also won Seely a Grammy for Best Female
Country Vocal. She left Wagoner's
show (to be replaced by Dolly
Parton) and later caught on in a similar touring/TV capacity with Ernest
Tubb, and also became the first woman to wear a miniskirt on-stage at the
Grand Ole Opry.
Seely had several Top 20 hits during the late '60s, including "It's Only Love,"
"A Wanderin' Man," and "I'll Love You More (Than You Need)." In 1969, she found
her most commercially successful duet partner in Jack
Greene; the two cut a hit album together, and their single "Wish I Didn't
Have to Miss You" was a number two smash in 1970. Seely continued to record
through the '70s, cutting material for Decca, MCA, and Columbia in addition to
Monument, and landed her biggest solo hit of the decade with 1973's Top Ten "Can
I Sleep in Your Arms," which she adapted from an old hobo tune. She also wrote
songs for other artists, most notably "Leavin' and Sayin' Goodbye," a number one
smash for Faron
Young in 1972. Seely recovered from a near-fatal car crash in 1977 and had
her last chart single the following year; she continued to tour and perform and
appeared in several stage musicals during the late '80s. During the '90s, Seely dabbled
in acting and didn't spend much time in the studio. She returned to music in
2003 with Life's Highway and then took another extended break before
releasing Vintage Country, a collection of classic covers, in 2011. After a six-year
break, Seely came back in January 2017 with the all-original Written
in Song.
