Chatting with Sean Casey
Episode description
What can I say about Sean Casey? He is the man that has done everything. He has the perfect broadcasting voice but wait – he was a broadcaster! His first job in radio, under the name of Ray Gilmore, was at a classical music station. Sean talks about how his name was changed from Ray to Sean, his years in radio, and gives advice about a radio career. His advice? Go into television – it keeps your options open and you make more money. He retired from radio in 2008 after being on the air at various number 1 radio stations in Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
Sean is also an accomplished singer/songwriter and arranger, who was signed with Decca, RCA, United Artists, Columbia and EMI. In the 1960’s, Sean’s band, the Spokesmen, wrote “The Dawn of Correction” as an answer to Barry McGuire’s “Eve of Destruction.” It made the Billboard charts. As a singer/songwriter, the Spokesmen were on ShinDig, Lloyd Thaxton, Gene Wolf and the Mike Douglas shows. This was the mid 1960’s.
Sean talks about “Sadie The Cleaning Lady”, the song that launched the career of Australian singer Johnny Farnham
Sean Is retired, however, he really isn’t. He continues to manage his commercial real estate properties, write and produce songs and still does voiceovers.
