My Take
Roxanne Seeman fascinates me precisely because most listeners have never heard her name while singing her words. A New York-born lyricist and Carnegie Mellon graduate, she has written for Phil Collins, Earth, Wind & Fire, Barbra Streisand, and even Hong Kong superstar Jacky Cheung, with two Emmy nominations to show for it. I am drawn to these architects who work behind the curtain, crafting the lines that become other people's hits across genres and continents. Writing a song someone else makes immortal is harder than singing it. She is a craftsman of the highest order, and I admire that quiet kind of greatness.
