Music Video LinksArtist BiographyAvailable in:
Seeley was born in Detroit, Michigan, on September 13. 1928. He played piano at Charlie's Crab in Troy, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit, for over three decades. Seeley played Carnegie Hall several times, and major venues throughout Europe. He released five albums, before compiling a sixth with Bob Baldori.
His greatest influence was Meade Lux Lewis. Seeley first met Lewis during a Detroit gig in the late 1940s, and a longstanding friendship through the 1950s and 1960s developed, which influenced Seeley's piano styling. Seeley also played piano with Art Tatum. Eubie Blake was also among Seeley's circle of friends.
Seeley worked for a while as accompanist to Sippie Wallace. Seeley was an all-around pianist whose interest and repertoire span ragtime, stride, blues and boogie woogie.
