Biography

Justman was born in Washington, D.C., grew up in Atlantic City, and is Jewish.[1][2][3]

He co-wrote many of the band's songs with singer Peter Wolf, and took sole songwriting credits for the band's biggest international hit, "Centerfold" (number 1 for six weeks on the Billboard Hot 100).

Seth is the brother of Paul Justman, director of the 2002 movie, Standing in the Shadows of Motown.[4] Paul and Seth shared songwriting credits for most of the songs on the band's final album, You're Gettin' Even While I'm Gettin' Odd. Justman provided the album's lead vocals after Wolf left the group. Justman also became the band's main vocalist following Wolf's departure until the band's first break-up in 1985.

In 1986, Justman produced and partly co-wrote Rockbird, the second solo album by Debbie Harry.[5]
