Biography and career
Early life and rise to fame
Seely was born in Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1940. She was the youngest of four children. Growing up, Seely, along with her siblings and parents lived in a two-story farmhouse, which still exists today in her hometown. Her musical influences partially came from her parents, Leo and Irene. Leo played the banjo on the weekends and also called local square dances. Seely's mother, Irene sang with her daughter every Saturday morning while they baked bread together. She started listening to the weekly broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry at age 11. By the time she was 16, Seely appeared on a television station, "WICU" in Erie, Pennsylvania. While in high school, she was an honors student and was also a cheerleader. After she graduated high school in 1958, Seely worked in her hometown's bank. She also did night courses at America's Institute of Banking. At age 21, Seely packed up everything she owned and moved out to California. She first started working at a Beverly Hills bank, but left after a year and worked for half the money as a secretary at Liberty and Imperial Records in Hollywood, California.

One Day At A Time
by: Jeannie Seely(One day at a time sweet Jesus)
I'm only human
I'm just a woman
Help me believe, what I could be
And all that I am
Show me the stairway
I have to climb
Lord for my sake
Teach me to take
One day at a time
[Chorus]
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm askin' from You
Just give me the strength
To do every day
What I should do
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
Tomorrow may never be mine
Lord help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time
Do You remember
When You walked among men
Jesus You know
If You're lookin' below
It's worse now than then
Cheatin' and stealin'
Violence and crime
So for my sake
Teach me to take
One day at a time
