Wonderful song, wonderful music, you can feel the spirit of the 80s.

They did a project called ALL THIS AND WORLD WAR TOO with covers by really big names covering Beatles songs overlayed onto WWII footage and movie scenes. Masterfully done! Most artists had 1 song, but the Bee Gees and Leo Sayer each had multiple songs. You should look into the soundtrack to see what peaks your interest.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing is what I immediately think of when I hear Leo Sayers name. The song you originally loved by him was written by Carole Bayer Saker and Albert Hammond. Albert had the hit that you covered called It Never Rains in Southern California and you covered a couple others of his as well. He's actually written loads of songs for other people. His son is the bass player for the Strokes. I believe the Bee Gees wrote around 2000 songs, Harri!

I really enjoyed this one from Leo. Very good submission choice. 👏

Harri: Leo was born in the UK and became an Australian citizen about 20 years ago . He's a baby boomer, like me. IMO his best work was his early stuff recorded in the UK with a small backing band and written by himself (e.g. "The Show Must Go On", "One Man Band", "Moonlighting"). He was very successful in the UK but mid-1970s he started recording in the USA and became an international star "overnight".

I seem to recall from Bob Stanley’s excellent Bee Gees book Children Of The World that the brothers were going to work with Leo in the mid 70’s but were so busy it didn’t happen. Only when they weren’t doing their own records around 1980 did they get to work with Leo on this song

I looked it up… It was produced by Arif Mardin! Leo Sayer said he was told it was written for him, but the French singer Flower when recorded a version in French said she was told it had been written for Andy. Personally, I think Barry’s demo sounds like it’s in the vocal style he used for Dionne Warwick, so possibly not given to her because too similar in theme to Heartbreaker… but that’s just my guess.

As far as I remember, Leo Sayer worked as a producer, before he jumped into singing himself 🤔😇👍

His first three albums were recorded in the UK without any of these musicians. When he went to the US though he certainly did attract the cream (as you say).

Leo Sayer and Tom Jones base on Western Astrological signs are Gemini and you are Libras. Libras love Geminis bounciness because it keeps Libra balance swinging right and left Mother Nature has intended for the balance to be in a swinging mood swaying right and left and mot to be in still motion That:d you,!!!! I love Leo Sayer too. In fact he has a more bubbly personality than Tom Jones and more refined too. He is do stylish and I always remember him like a bubbly Garfunkel with his curly hair or my image of him

Of course, as it’s a Gibb brothers song I’m bound to love it but there’s a few problems with it - it’s quite plodding and slow, a bit wordy & the lyric is a touch nonsensical. Of course none of those things interfere with that fantastic melody of the chorus. It has a characteristic of Gibb Brother chorus’s in that it starts off quite low then increases to higher notes towards the end. They are the highlight and I love the dramatic bridge too.
