We saw him in concert 2019 (pre Covid lockdowns). He was terrific, sang wonderfully, was funny on stage, told a few short life stories and was absolutely charming. He was on tour in England but lives in Oz.
He was hanging at Heron Island on the great barrier reef when I was there. When I was there it was really just a diver place, he was invisible. I didn't see him though would have met him as that was what the place is like
He said the best thing he ever did for himself was move to Australia and he said that it taught him to stand up for himself, as when he went on that stupid UK show big brother and the producers tried to intimidate him and stop him from leaving as he wanted to, he stood up for himself and took no bull and he said he could never have done that before but living in Oz had given him the confidence and strength to stand up for himself. He is a great asset for us.
@@Caroline.123 And don't we love him The Poms can have Peter Andre and Kyyyyylliiiee Give me Leo any day. Miriam Margoyles as well. She's gets criticised for speaking her mind elsewhere. Here in Oz she fits in great
Leo Sayer was a handsome, talented, lovely man who also wrote hits for others. I still listen to him in 2021. Shame he never got the recognition or rewards that he deserved.
That’s awesome! Yes, very talented fellow. But as for pity, I might beg to differ. Between 1979 and perhaps ‘82, I could not escape the man’s music on the radio to save my life. And he’s still a known name. I imagine Sayer is quite happy with the recognition he achieved.
I went to see Leo Say in concert in Swansea uk in the 1979 or 1980 he was brilliant live did not miss a note, we sang along & remember thinking what a nice guy he was when one of his fans asked if she could have a photo with him, he promptly lay down on the higher stage & put his arms around her & they both had the photo taken, it was a lovely day out & I have nothing but positive memories of it, still like all his songs to this day ! 😊💜💕
Amazing singer . Orchard rd was one number that brings back memories. I met his brother on a flight to Nairobi several years back. Leo was a very gifted singer, wish he would make come back.
Just saw him in concert/ a show in Newcastle, New South Wales Australia. Wonderful. He lives in Aus. Super !!!!!! 😀👍👍👍👍👍 Voice was great, and he still moves well. Go Leo. 👌👍👏
I was a teenager in the 70's and sadly there was not one Leo Sayer fan in my entire high school, so I resolved to be a closet fan of Sayer, Rod Stewart and Elton John - so what the heck was the music vibe ...? KISS, ACDC, Led Z, and all that - which I couldn't abide. Sayer is a rare and gifted artist who for me gave new meaning to originality and expression. One of my many favourites in an eclectic 60s-90s mix of music from Glam Rock, Punk, Synth Pop, Indi Rock, Russian Trance and more.
"when I need you" was the song my first girlfriend who dedicated the song to me. she died in a car accident. it still effects me to this day. married for 30 years.
Congratulations what a neat story My cousin had a baby when the song came out I think I was almost 13 I wanted to keep the baby because she didn't his name was Christopher every time I hear this song I think about this little man where he is today. I found out he passed away. Leo always had the great songs and I'm sure he still seems outstanding. Congratulations to you guys once again
I grew up in Shoreham beach in the 1970s and met Adam Faith on the way to school in about 1972, Leo used to live on a houseboat about ten minutes walk from my house. Shoreham beach was a great place to be a teenager with a fantastic beach and river.
Love your music still today Leo " Just When I Needed You Most. Also saw you on Vancouver Island in Victoria, B.C, in 1974. Your still had some & rocking. ❤ 🇨🇦.
My what an amzing career he's had to date. Just shows that the world is your oyster and because he hasn't been heard of in decades in UK he didn't fade into obscurity, but carried on bubbling away, never going out the limelight... Incredible to think fans in Russia sang all his lyrics in English...
I met Leo Sayer in Berchtesgaden Germany where he was playing a concert at the NCO Club there..We ate dinner w him before the show..he was a sweet humble awesome guy..
Yes a rare talent and his repertoire was pretty range from the kitsch to complex , but one particular number that stands out for me is " Moonlighting " , showing his vocal ability in a very complex arrangement.
apparently, i was obsessed with mr sayer as a 3 - 4 yr old. he’d be singing on the telly (countdown) 🇦🇺 my dad took me to see mr sayer live for my 18 th (twin towns services club)🇦🇺 HE WAS BRILLIANT! 😆 ✌🏻🇦🇺
I was a young teenager in the early 80s and, me and my friends loved our 80s music and Leo was on the top of our list, we all would be just walking down the street and just singing and dancing his songs, you know usually just a few of us or a couple of us just having fun and, acting silly.
I know that mastering English seems to be a challenge for many people, but here’s a simple way to work out if your grammar is ok, or not. If you drop the words, “and my my friends” from your sentence, you are left with, “me loved our 80’s music”, which of course shows a total lack of grasp of English grammar. Try stating, “ my friends and I”. Plain, simple, correct English. You are welcome. No charge.
@@robertcarter9350 One, I don’t need your friggin advice on how to write a sentence, and, how very disrespectful to go around and be a comment stalker, you must have such little life and, miserable life at that to tell people how to write a sentence.

@@velvetbees my first cassette tape was Leo Sayer. I loved his music then and always. It's classic. My favourites-- I was just boy, giving it all away....and more. When I need you....very talented. He mustn't have sold his soul or his name would remain in lights
Not bad, but I wish the narrator’s verbal pronunciation would improve. It would be less distracting and sound more sincere. Also, to include sound bites of the song’s choruses as they are mentioned would add a lot to the overall presentation.
We saw Leo a few years ago and chatted with him after the show. Like most of us - he got fed up with the UK - that is totally falling apart - so he went to Australia! Great guy and superb musician. We are following his example and leaving UK to go elsewhere! Cheers Leo
@@whathappenedtothem_"You Make Me Feel Like Dancing"? It is *NOT* a Rhythm & Blues song! This is Straight-out Pop. If Doug Parkinson had done it, or even Renee Geyer, they could've given the song an R & B treatment, but they are *the only two people outside the USA* who are capable of doing genuine R & B. but sadly Doug has passed away and Renee is now in retirement.
Those who judged this as "Best R. & B. Song really haven't got clue number one as to what is Rhythm & Blues. The genre began to die out in the late 1960s as it softened into what became known as "Soul" Music. R. & B. had a gritty edge to it, it was best demonstrated in songs like "Fannie Mae" by Buster Brown(1959), "Stranded In The Jungle" by The Cadets(1956), "Working In The Coal Mine" by Lee Dorsey(1966), "Let's Stick Together" by Wilbert Harrison(1962).
when this song came out there were really no genres of music, it all got played on every station. There was really only hard rock and country and stations other than hard rock and country that played a mix of R&B, pop and soft rock. In the late 70's did the record studios start giving songs categories like Disco, Pop and so forth
@@kellycranford3592 As I said, "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" is just a straight-out Pop song. Not taking anything away from it persay, just recognising it does *not* befit the genre of R. & B.
1976 Summer, Saint Tropez, some roadside shack serving chicken & chips to campers: We ordered as 'Moonlighting' was playing on the Dansette record player. It finished, then started again because the arm of the record player was left open. It continued to play, and play, and we counted the number of times. Seventeen times we heard this song before we left. You can't really forget something like that. "She stares at him with his beard unshaved; wonders at his power of staying awake..."
Always liked his music and was about seven when Orchard Road played on the radio, I loved that song. He was the last person who had contact with Elvis Presley before he died.
Leo's actual name is Gerard Hugh Sayers. The Three Dog Night cover of 'The Show Must Go On' also topped the Cash Box chart and went to #4 on Billboard in the US. There's the old story that his record company got Sayer to record Hammond's songs over his own when they tried to break him as a performer in the US, which didn't please Sayer in the slightest. I suppose the royalty cheques might have soothed his anger.
The moment he stormed off the Big Brother set in the UK is pure class. Two security gorillas are trying to restrain him, much to Leos annoyance . The rage is strong!!
You didn't mention that after being Leo's manager for several years, Adam Faith had to admit that he'd spent all the royalties that Leo's songs had made...while sitting in his Rolls Royce that Leo had paid for.....aaahh, managers........!
Years ago he did celebrity big brother here in the UK, threw a tantrum because he was expected to wash his own underpants, stormed out the house and demanded to see his agent. That's what happened to Leo Sayer 😂😃😁😀😂
Yes I remember that. He was really horrible on that show shouting and swearing at the crew. Not a nice man and has a huge ego. I remember him trying to do a grovelling apology afterwards but the damage had been done as we'd all seen what he was really like and it wasn't the humble little guy in the clown costume.
@@TheSilk661 Yes, it killed his fan base and celebrity status stone dead for many of his previous fans. It really did show him honestly and in a most unfavourable light.
The first time i saw Leo was in the wiggles video and i remember being just being a little toddler dancing to the song you make me feel like dancing and just loved it
Leo has made a tribute to "The Bealtes" album called "Nothern Songs" due to be released on 28.Jan.2022. There is trailer available on CZcams and it sounds amazing.
Narrator is running words together and even leaving out letters of words. Doesn't sound automated so I guess it's a speech impediment. If so, I'm sorry. If not, then try slowing down a bit.
One word...e-nun-ci-a-tion! It's hard to understand what you are saying. It sounds like you have marbles in your mouth. I have no room to talk, perhaps, but slow it down a bit and enunciate. All the research you have done deserves to be clearly delivered. It would be a huge boost to your channel.
One other thing, he tends to drop the last syllable or slur the last syllable so you can’t tell if something was Past or Present tense with an ED on it or not. L’s are particularly problematic in the middle of words, as well. There’s a reason that people in theater are trained how to speak so people can understand them. It’s not by accident that you can understand them. They work on it.
What happened to Leo Sayer? Umm.....nothing. He lives in the NSW southern Highlands with his wife, and still suffers from the aftermath of a 1977 fall off a stage during a show.
Saw him in a little club in Boston when he still wore the clown make up. 73? maybe. He sang to a backing track. I remember the Leslie speakers spinning on the tiny stage. Great fun!
When I need You, remind me dancing with friends at the ``Disco``clubs. For the young boys we were, ``this``song,( called a SLOW ), meant it was time to invite a girl to dance. One of the most Romantic song,ever!
I saw Leo Sayer in Hawaii in 1981. He was being fussed over by two chicks. He was too drunk to fight them off. I wonder if he remembers that. I was homeless there but I had three jobs. There weren’t any tent cities back then.
Didn't this guy make exercise videos years ago? No, wait - this is not Richard Simmons? Sorry, my bad.
LOL they look alike
Haha 😂made me laugh! Cheers ✌
Sayer sings better. ...But Simmons dances better!

I watched him in concert 3 years ago. He sounded great. Just like he did when he first sang. He sang all his hits over the decades. Excellent.
Nothing happened to him. he moved to Australia. he lives a wonderful life in Sydney and performs regularly here and overseas. Aussie Leo.....
Yeah I thought so. I’ve got Aunties that retired to Australia. There needs to be a show, what happened to this channel and show.

The Sad and Disturbing Story of Leo Sayer. LOL Had no idea he composed for other people. Great talent.
We sure got up and danced the chit out of"Long Tall Glasses" thanx Leo ..fun song !
I always consider he has one of the greatest modern voices, very clear and haunting.

Leo Sayer, blast from the past
He stopped singing. He felt more like dancing…
I saw him sing at Sydney's elevate festival last week. He was good.
Leo is absolutely underrated...
Not a lot. He's on tour in the UK later this year. I'm a metal head and i'm thinking about going. Appreciate good music.

Absolutely 💯

Yep, it ended his career more or less. It was certainly not flattering. Made a right tit of himself in a nasty way.

Used to see him regularly going to the post office in Gerrard's Cross. I seem to remember that he lived on Orchard Road in Seer Green...

had a 45 of that song

Leo Sayer, moved to Australia and is now a Australian citizen..
He went under cover as Richard Simmons and made lots of money sweatin to the oldies
When I need You, remind me dancing with friends at the ``Disco``clubs. For the young boys we were, ``this``song,( called a SLOW ), meant it was time to invite a girl to dance. One of the most Romantic song,ever!
Leo sayers doppelgänger is the 80s dancing exercise guy !!
I spotted him in a music instrument/equipment store in Sydney in April or May....
The 'T' in 'united' is not silent.
Always confused this guy with Richard Simmons…
The rumour was that he was going to replace Gabriel in Genesis
Brilliant! Thank you
Leo is a living LEGEND
A great singer
You did not mention all his money being stolen by his 1970s manager hence going to Australia he was so pissed off ….he was robbed and no one bothered
My favorite is When I need you
This guy reads copy like a third grader.
Our win we love him ! He can stay here forever….
I saw Leo Sayer in Hawaii in 1981. He was being fussed over by two chicks. He was too drunk to fight them off. I wonder if he remembers that. I was homeless there but I had three jobs. There weren’t any tent cities back then.
He is living in Australia these days. He is still performing.
i worked with Leo he was a great guy, my name is Adrian Paris, i have photos of the night.
Show must go on
