Have 4 or 5 Leo albums
I think Just A Boy is my fav album, but When I Need You has to win the song
Although I like Leo's version better, Three Dog Night had a hit here with The Show Must Go On.

now he lives here he's always on tour somewhere, he'll do 6000 seat venue one night then a pub the next night to 100 people, just enjoys peforming i guess.
i'll have to check out the Three Dog Night version as ive never heard it.
i think Leo Sayer and Albert Hammond are two very underrated writer/singers from that '70s era, mind you, they do get a fair bit of airplay on AM radio here

:wink: right at the moment I am having a break at work for breakfast and I am listening to Rihanna "Only girl". It's a fabulous song for dancing! Wish I could start a dance session here... :biggrin:

respect to Leo, but in the early days at least, I think most of the writing credit goes to David Courtney.
they were a team for awhile like John/Taupin

LEO SAYER "the greatest hits" 2010, cd.
darn it, here i go again...
anyone here actually surprised i listen to Leo? i actually bought this one as a replacement for an old 1980s 'best of' vinyl album that went missing on the journey of life.
as far as im aware this album was/is only released in Australia to commemorate Leo's Citizenship in becoming an Australian in 2009...he has lived here since 2005.
Leo was a singer/songwriter predominantly from the 1970s, who with his falsetto vocals could sing/write in various styles of music, from pop, disco, love songs, soaring ballads and even tracks that could pass in Tin Pan Alley/vaudeville.
this a timeless collection of sing-a-long and foot tapping tracks that still sound good today.
for some strange reason i thought that this one might rate higher than it does, but thats the way it goes today!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
I'm fairly indifferent to his music. Nothing too bad, but nothing that's excited me either.
He was hilarious on the UK Celebrity Big Bro show a few years back. Bit of a pompous, self-important prick IMV:
