   About Phil Seymour

The Ultimate Compliment!

"Thanks for putting up the Phil page.
It means alot to us.
Peace,

Jan & Dwight Twilley...." -July 2006

Another Great Message:

"This is so very delightful.............about time somebody did something to commemorate the talent and spirit of Phil Seymour. I was one of the fortunate ones that got to know Phil quite well over the years and the only way you could really describe him was this: he was an unbelievably talented creature of dualities, an absolutely sweet and somewhat naive country boy who would occasionally flip over to the dark side of the music trip only to turn round and smile at you with such a charm that you could never stay mad at him. I think it was Cathy Cozy Sebastian that really summed it up.....she described Phil one night at the Whisky as the sexiest thing that ever walked on two legs.....gotta admit, she was right. -Maxeycat" Feb. 2007

thanks for keepin Phil's music alive!!

ABOUT PHIL: Phil Seymour, born Philip Warren Seymour on May 15, 1952, is best remembered as one-half of the creative force behind the Dwight Twilley Band, co-writing, with Dwight Twilley, some of the finest pop songs of the era, including the classic "I'm on Fire." After two albums (1976's Sincerely and 1978's Twilley Don't Mind), Seymour left to pursue a solo career. While waiting for a recording deal, he began recording solo sessions, as well as contributing session work for Tom Petty, 20/20, and Moon Martin. In 1980, he signed to Boardwalk Records after selling the label on a batch of demos recorded with fellow Tulsa natives 20/20. His self-titled debut was well received at the time (the single "Precious to Me" made it to number 22 on the pop charts) and has become highly revered in power-pop circles as one of the landmark albums of the era. He followed in 1982 with Phil Seymour 2, a less satisfying album both creatively and commercially. Seymour was left without a label when Boardwalk president Neil Bogart died shortly after the record's release. In 1984, he joined Carla Olsen's Textones, drumming and singing on their Midnight Mission album for A&M. While supporting the album, Seymour was diagnosed with lymphoma. He returned to Tulsa, carrying on at a diminished pace and recording infrequently, until the disease took his life in August of 1993 while he was preparing a new album. Biography by Chris Woodstra/allmusic.com

Phil Seymour is buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Pauls Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma in the United States. You can visit his virtual gravesite here:

Just to let you know, another video of Phil's has recently surfaced:




For some reason I'm thinking this was filmed at the Atomic Cafe...what a cool place that was! The girl he's dancing with...think that might've been his girlfriend at the time, but I can't be sure. Think he was also still living at that house on Beverwill too...he had a really cool Scottish Terrier he'd named Scooter then..he used to love showing everyone Scooter's favourite trick. Phil would take one of those huge empty Arrowhead water bottles (the plastic ones, not the glass) and would roll it across the floor and this big dog (yes, Scotties are a pretty good sized despite what anyone thinks!) would chase it down then roll it back across the floor with his nose. Phil used to love that...he'd be laughing so hard he'd be bent double, as were the rest of us. Very nice memory.

Sending good things over the ether to those who held and still hold Phil dear. He's always in my top handful of Oklahoma musicians...and it's a stellar lot...Woody Guthrie, Hoyt Axton, Roger Miller, Wanda Jackson...

Best to all,
Cindy

Thanks for adding Helpless Dancer to Phil's tribute page. We enjoyed all of Phil's music - solo and with Dwight. Although we never met him, Phil's persona seemed so positive. We were blessed to hear his music over the years. Bless his soul.
