My favourite solo artists of the 70’s ..loved all 70’s music but Leo Sayer had some of the best hits of the decade ..prolific hit maker but very underrated
Pure genius. Leo Sayer (and a few others - Cat Stevens, Mud, Racey) gave my unhappy and troublesome childhood moments of joy with uplifting tunes. Leo was different, a real poet and interpreter.
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.
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.
wish I could hang out with all the fans here, cant seem to find people in real life that actually get the magnitude of this talent...bravo Leo and friends.
This performance is the second best song ever performed, the best performance is The Show Must Go On from Leo in the same concert - his voice is indescribably amazing!
He is , in my eyes one of the best artists who ever lived, for so many reasons. One is it shows in his performance that his whole soul is in his songs.
I heard some of Leo's music during my teenage years, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, When I Need You.....it was just during the last couple of years that I have discovered how talented he really is, thanks to You Tube
@@donnasue9165 im right with u on that donna. Leo always went under the radar musicaly. This is a great track, and to think he wrote it for roger daltrey, 1 of my fav singer and performer.
I lived and breathed this song - listening to it over and over and over again - as a young man. I had very few friends, but I did have a multi-track tape recorder. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Leo.
Only discovering Leo Sayer now! Literally yesterday! What a musician and artist. Maybe 2021 won't be too bad after all. Thank you so much for uploading this.
What a gift to have such an amazing voice and sing so effortlessly. A fan for 40+ years. Probably one of the best top 5 male "singers" (not vocalists) of all time.
@@MatthewChapman-yq3ub *_"So hey there mister don't you look so sad Don't look so ill at ease"_* *_"I can play you any song you chose To cheer up the life you lead"_* Me too... It's a strange world 😊
I saw Leo in concert in the late seventies and again about seven years ago. He still sounded and performed in exactly the same way in the latter concert, even though he was approaching his seventies! I am still a huge fan, still listen to his music.
Older dude, Vietnam vet, yes I have been a one man band... been a long journey.. If you have family, enjoy...more precious than all the gold, diamonds, silver, platinum ... Live you life full..
Thank you for your service and the sound advice. May you experience our Creator's peace and blessings the rest of your journey, and know that we are never truly alone. God bless you sir.
i remember being 12 years old and in a boys home ,this song was put on the school jukebox it costs tuppence to play a record ,i spent all my pocket money playing this over and over boring everybody stupid , loved it then and still love it today and im 53
Listen, I have never really paid much attention to Leo Sayer before. Yes I remember hearing "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" as kid, but it is a revelation to see him perform. He is truly an amazing talent with an amazing presence on the stage. He communicates so much more than just with his voice. He is a complete package. I think I appreciate so much more the years in which I grew up now, than I ever did living them.
When I Need You was mine and my first loves song.I was 14 and she was 13 when we met and we splir up in our 20's. Ive never stopped loving her dont think i will meet anyone like her again. 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. Ive had many a smoochy night on the sofa listening to you so Leo thank you ❤
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”
@@davidelmslie5599 This is Leo Sayer. He wrote the song for Roger. It's funny how he gloats about that after stealing feel like dancing off Ray Parker Jr.
I think someone else said on here that if they had a time machine, this is a show they'd travel back to. I agree, Leo Sayer is so underrated it's criminal.
TuerkischBaer I'm so happily married! But thanks for asking! Hope you find the one that is right for you! Took me till I was 42 years old to find my Guy, but I did, so there's hope for us all to find the right one as long as 'every step we take' and 'every move we make' is directed towards the one we don't yet know how they look or how they sound or how they are... and sometimes, if we look back, we can understand that there are people who have loved us blindly without ever saying a single word, and we've not even seen them or remembered their name! Yup, it's not easy for some of us to find the one, but I have hope for all of Creation to make their way towards their soul mates and soul families... Stay good and always communicate! No one can read your mind! Not that they can't, just that they're busy with other stuff! Anyways, I'm complimented, and thank you! May you have a super awesome journey towards the one you love! She's out there, I'm telling you, and either you've just been 'blinded by the light', or 'deafened by the thundering of your hearts'! Or both! Best wishes always to you and yours, raine and pierre :-}
He wrote the best song of all time giving it all away over 45 years later me kids play it n me grandkids now sing it Leo you are class great live performer to
I DON'T CARE WHAT BAND IS PLAYING AT THE TIME....I WANT HEAR THE SONG AND THE VOCALS....IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE VOCALS...YOU NEVER HAVE A BAND..LEO HAS A BAND ..WHAT A RANGE...THANK YOU FOR SHARE THIS VIDEO ....
I was born in the early 80's in the States and am ashamed to say I only found Leo Sayer's music a few years ago. I rank him up there with the best England had to offer at the time. Why isn't he massively more popular?
It happens buddy, he was very popular in the UK and did have a point where he was very popular in the United states appearing on sesame street, the muppets, and probally a bunch of other shows,he was aired on the radio a lot and did very well in the disco era.
oO0E Unfortunately, being british does not instill all of us with any taste, class, or for that matter, brains or culture. In fact, we probably have a larger proportion of morons than other countries. Leo Sayer had far more success over here with songs he wrote for other, more popular people to perform. A pity, as he is far more talented than all of them, or at least, the ones I know about. I too was dragged up in the 80s and it is only because my mother is an exceptional person that I know and appreciate his work - I usually like super hard metal
Pick up the ENDLESS FLIGHT album. So good! So glad I saw Leo Sayer "Live" in his prime ... early 1980's. Superb performer and underrated songwriter. Enjoy ... you've discovered him now!
I’ve watched some great bands, The Alarm, The Manics, Muse , Tom McRae, Future Islands, Levellers,loads but that gig which I was dragged to on behalf of my friends was the best night ever, what a songsmith, brill beyond clean pants
I agree with you, I loved he's music, he seemed to just fade away from the public eye, my late brother knew him, which made a difference as you got what the song's ment to him
Brilliant stuff! In these days of processed vocals and pitch correction it's so nice to hear a singer with an honest-to-god set of pipes cutting loose. We really were spoiled for great singers in the seventies.
Underated? I don't think so. He was one our Top performers. Me n my Album buying mates, loved him, thought he was extremely talented. But, felt he'd 'Sold out' with the Leo Sayer Show.
I was just sitting, thinking of a new song I could add to my repertoire as a solo performer and this hit me. What a cool song...happy. tells a short story. Thanks Leo!
Wow this song brings back so many memories 55 now was 12 and in a boarding school in 1974 when this song was put on the school jukebox used to be tuppence to play a record ,.i drove them mad with this song played it all the time loved it then still do , and we have Leo coming my hometown Leamington spa in June, must go well be rude not to
@@patrickdocherty4439 Great - I will check to see if he is playing in Nottingham / Derby or Leicester. Ages since I have seen him (in Derby if I recall). Great performer and great songs.
Well everybody knows down Ladbroke Grove You have to leap across the street You can lose your life under a taxi cab You gotta have eyes in your feet You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down Take up your guitar and play But then the law man comes says move along So you move along all day Well I'm a one man band Nobody knows nor understands Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand To my one man band?

Great stuff. This brings back so many memories. The really great thing is that Leo is still performing. He emigrated to Australia a few years ago & still tours the clubs, in fact, i'm off to see him live in a couple of weeks. I hope he does this one.

Hello Lisa
How are you doing today?
Absolutely! His absolute genius is hiding in plain sight, yet none so blind as will not see.
He was SO good in those days, but then he went all Ballads for Mothers.
{:o:O:}
Early Leo is a revelation.
What an entertainer, pure class. Very Underrated despite his success.
This performance is the second best song ever performed, the best performance is The Show Must Go On from Leo in the same concert - his voice is indescribably amazing!
If I only had a time machine. This performance would be one of my pit stops!
Love you, Leo Sayer!
time machine .... "Alllllllllll Abbbbbooooooaaaaaaarrrdd"!!!!!
Leo is brilliant such beautiful talent
Leo Sayer, one of the most underrated performers of all time.
The disco era hurt him bad. He's very talented.
True. I am 51 and so much of the soundtrack of the first decade of my life belongs to him
Definitely 👌👌👌👌
not in this house😉
He really is.
He is , in my eyes one of the best artists who ever lived, for so many reasons. One is it shows in his performance that his whole soul is in his songs.

I basically grew up on Leo Sayer here in Nigeria. I started collecting his tapes even as a12 year old.

This man has such a good voice
Sings it better than roger daltery

From someone who loves Bowie, Beatles, House and reggae music
Very cool songs clap clap
Hi m I love music so much
I went to a Leo Sayer concert at university in the early 1970s. This song is first class. Creativity and an open heart.
i remember being 12 years old and in a boys home ,this song was put on the school jukebox it costs tuppence to play a record ,i spent all my pocket money playing this over and over boring everybody stupid , loved it then and still love it today and im 53
Love it! Great memory .
What an amazing performer! One of the Greatest EVER!
I loved this song and it still sounds really good.
a musical genius in my eyes also not heard anything that rivals his performances

Massively underrated
Does any one know how talented this man is???
Thanx Leo...
Somewhere between 562.75 and 1200.38 and probably towards the higher end...
Yes I do
Australia
of course
Yep!
Saw him in concert in 78 at the Civic in Wolverhampton, great live performer, very very very under rated artist.

Loved his song “When I Need You” back in the 1970s.
Total professional performer 👍
I remember meeting Leo and his friend Hair bear doing a charity gig for Children in Need. Nutters, but good hearted people.
I like this song, thunder in my heart is my favourite
I'm extremely saddened by the fact that I'm 41 and barely discovering this genius.

Went to see him back in the early 80's, have to say he was a great entertainer and really brought the audience along with him.
I did too! He was a great performer, as well as Songwriter and singer.

Well everybody knows down Ladbroke Grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
But then the law man comes says move along
So you move along all day
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band?
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
My, my you must be getting so thin
And soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band?
And oh, oh, oh look at the rain falling!
Oh, oh, oh look at it rain!
Oh look at it rain!
Nobody sees the minstrel boy
As he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
Nobody see him go
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease

Back again. It will be a sad day if they ever remove his videos. Never gets old. 😊

I saw this guy at the Trenton War Memorial. He was the opener for ELO. Good Show...Great voice. Years ahead of his time. Clown suits rule.
a musical genius in my eyes also not heard anything that rivals his performances
Great stuff. This brings back so many memories. The really great thing is that Leo is still performing. He emigrated to Australia a few years ago & still tours the clubs, in fact, i'm off to see him live in a couple of weeks. I hope he does this one.
Looking forward to seeing Leo in downtown Australia in November ......thanks for sharing this great clip.
Leo Sayer is a very great singer
saw him last year in Manchester. One of the greatest experiences ever.
Hii
Thanks for the compliment ❤
love this and all leo sayer xxxx
Brilliant song.
the good ole days....thanks for posting...loved Leo's music then and...now.
He gives the piano player an approving glance.
he cheers me up
Early seventies was a musical golden age.
