Today we have some behind the scenes footage of Seal rehearsing for his performance on Oprah’s Inauguration special.
A big thank you to the people at ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ for providing us with this footage.
Fascinating footage…two geniuses (is it the correct plural form?) at work…
LOVELY

The inauguration… By far the most amazing event that I’ve ever seen in my life! I witnessed part of America’s people healing, …witnessed such profound, historical meaning to President Obama’s acceptance of the office of President, and the worlds response to it. I’ll never forget it.
Oprah’s (and so many others) infectious commitment to memorializing the historical marker of this election brought tears to my eyes. I mean, I could hardly watch TV the few days before and after the inauguration without crying; it was so touching all the sentiment and love coming from so many people everywhere. Barack Obama, our first black president. Forty-five years after MLK Jr. predicted it might happen. Simply Amazing! A long time coming, but it did happen! We are a happy people, across this world.. I tell ya!
Anyway Seal (and team), the song created to amplify the inauguration is incredible! It commenerates this occasion and will serve as a banner for years and years when we listen to it–it will remind us of this moment in time and of our freedoms and of our rights as a united people to pursue peace, love, and freedom for all. Beautiful, beautiful song and your voice Seal, resignated strongly and loudly, your belief in peace, love, and the freedoms we should all protect for each other.
Your talents are gifts and they are many. It’s been a pleasure, for me, to watch you grow over the last ohh.. lotta years.. well, since I first heard you sing Crazy when I lived in NYC back in 1991(?) That dates me a little. Keep up the brilliant work!
Dear Seal
Some suggestions or dream future projects I just think of at this moment where I come to write in the library…
(Love Yvette’s postings by the way)
How about…for your first James Bond you appear as the new future Black James Bond (with your own spy custom made name) with the current James Bond(Craig something)…and share the movie so you could be introduced gradually? (or even share a few movies with him)like… there could be a good friendship between you too and a depth for your character for you to define…(or the scripter)
How about…a frangrance (or a serie of fragrances ) starting with the obvious one Seal…
How about…an accoustic album with David as your pianist (as you were his signer he would be your pianist…I ADORE how he plays (and composes ) but this time on some of your perhaps pieces. I suspect there are lots of masterpieces , genius pieces sleeping in your drawer…waiting to be heard…(as long as your ex- monster manager can’t steal from you…(I HATE this man because he hurt you so). I just got your accoustic one last summer and I adore it.
This could be a double album…or triple album (I am sure!!!!!!!!!!)
Anyway…wouldn’t that be nice, until we get System 2.
Just ideas…(am not a fan at all of Craig Furgeson (I sure tried), could never be…but Webmaster..for your knowledge the video there is said to be expired)

So “show biz” however I love the sincere reaction to the vocal delivery from the booth.
I love the soft quality that goes with the raspy edge in your voice. You are the POP-Rock version of Luther Vandross. Your voice is truly a chill factory. I’m having goosebumps listening to your sounds. Great Job!!! I’m truly happy you’ve taken care of your gift.
Hola, Seal lo llevo escuchando desde que salio, la verdad que su voz desgaradora y su especial musica me hace soñar en cosas preciosas, sobre todo si escuchas las canciones en un atardecer noche, es tan magico.., a parte de ser una persona tan humana, unos de mis sueños es ir a un concierto de Seal, pero creo que no actuara este año en España, algun dia..
Puri, Yecla.
He is my black angel, is divine.
Creo que tengo toda su música y es un auténtico placer escucharla, es duvino.
I love Seal….I love his blackness and what it represents to me as a black man in a man’s world. I have been listening to your music for the past 7 years or so and I am always pleased by your musical presntation and style.
