This is exactly why the 70's was a great decade. Amazing talented people (Like Leo) appearing on the Muppets. Loved it as a kid. Absolutely brilliant.

I saw this in the early 80s as a child on one of the kids channels. It was recorded on VHS, and I used to actually perform the entire song with Leo's moves and all at my grandmothers request. It was my first expierience with any type of performance. That seems to have been ages ago. My grandmother is long dead now, and I currently find myself performing on Broadway everynight. I will always have nothing but reverance for Leo and Jim for helping me discover my niche.

Thank you The Muppet Show, if it hadn't been for you I would have never been introduced to so many talented people and so many fantastic songs, most definitely Leo Sayer and The Show Must Go On. I might have heard a song like You Make Me Feel Like Dancing here and there, but a song like this one, I likely would have gone through life never even knowing this song existed, this amazing version of it or any version of it, by any artist at all. And that would have been such a loss!!! The only thing that could have made this better is instead of that one muppet, the banjo player had been Kermit, sitting on a crate behind Leo, legs folded, banjo in his lap, playing his heart out. ♥ ♥ ♥

I am in love with his voice, though I am sure he is a great guy I fell for voices more than anything else about a person. I grew up listening to his music literally wearing out his albums, lol. I never had a crush on singers, bands, or actors as I never knew them. I did fall for voices as strange as that sounds and I have 8 tracks, albums, cassettes, and Cds of my favorites, Mr Sayer is one of them. Thank you for making my growing up years more enjoyable Mr Sayer and let's not get started on the Muppets, I love them all. Alright I had a major crush on all the Muppets. There I confess... 💞 Ruby*
