I saw Leo at Ebbets Field, a nightclub that sat 250 in Denver Colorado,in 1973. He preformed in the clown suit and was simply amazing. He opened for The Climax Blues Band.Both were relatively unknown in the States at the time. How lucky at 17 years old was I ?

Leo Sayer is possibly one of Britains finest performers, and yet was most under rated, this song along with the show must go on, are lyrical masterpieces, and Leo's performance tells the story perfectly.

***** Agreed. There's more than a touch of genius in both the songwriting and delivery. Not untypically for such an exceptional British talent, he ultimately got a raw deal, and Britain has probably lost him forever to Australia.

Yes indeed. At that time he was simply brilliant.....I loved him, but he was overshadowed by the "Big Rock Bands" he had no chance at that time. Lyrical Masterpieces....absolutely....brilliant presentation.....Just did not hit the the niche at the right time....A tragedy I'd say. ....Given better, balanced TV coverage, he'd have been one of the unforgetables of Britain. But hey: That's just the way it goes. Like a long stem Rose. Everybody knows.
@anthonysteel68777 жыл бұрын
He wasn't underrated to begin with in the early to mid seventies (a fabulous time by the way, not anything like neo-liberal propaganda would have you believe)he made some fantastic music that still sounds as good today,in my opinion,as it did then.I haven't seen or heard him for a while but I hope he is fit and well.

Anyway this wasnt a pity party i was going to point out that Leo is ao underrated and most people over a certain age will only remember him for his Big Brother appearance. Which is so wrong.

Funnily enough he didn’t write that one, that was written by Albert Hammond ( who also wrote a few other hits such as “It never rains in California and “Free electric band” he also co-wrote Starship’s hit “Nothing’s Gonna Stop us Now” however his version is still the “go to”
