Seth Swirsky (born August 5, 1960, New Haven, Connecticut) is a self-described "manic expressive," 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.
In 1980, at the age of 20, Seth Swirsky wrote the national jingle for Thomas' English Muffins.
After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1982, Swirsky wrote the Grammy-nominated hit "Tell It To My Heart" with Ernie Gold for Taylor Dayne. The song was on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart for six months in 1988, reaching No. 7 (gold single pictured left).
The song was also a No. 1 hit in Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden and No. 3 in England. In 2002, Kelly Llorenna’s version of the song went to No. 9 on the British charts. The song won Swirsky an ASCAP songwriter’s award for being one of the most performed songs of the year. In 2006, the song was recorded by the Royal Gigolos and spent two weeks on the Swiss charts at No. 2. It was featured as a clue in The New York Times crossword in 1998. The song was used in the national ad campaign for Cheetos in 2016.
