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.

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.

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

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.

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!
