Went to see him Saturday in Worthing his voice is still so powerful makes me cry this song as it’s what I play to my husband who has advanced Alzheimer’s 😢❤️
Oh that's beautiful Lorraine and especially for your situation that you have going on just now, I'm seeing a similar situation with my uncle here in Glasgow who i incidentally met in Tesco yesterday, 75 years old and widowed, vacant stare walking round the supermarket, anyway I also love Leo, reminds me of my childhood growing up as a toddler/infant in the 70's, songs from that era are imprinted in my head, take care and all the best ❤@@lorrainefilmer3518
Leo Sayer this song and "When I Need You "are two of the best vocal performances by you ever.Your vocal acrobatics have always been amazing. I haven't had the privilege of seeing you live.My friend from Oz has and says you're amazing in concert.Ive loved and listened to your music since "The Show Must Go On'. Fell 4 your cute face,afro and expressive eyes.Thank you 4 ur heartfelt songs Leo.❤😊🎼🎤
Oh my.. I passed by the stage to take a photo in one of his concerts and was invited up and he sang this holding my hand.. One of the loveliest memories in my life
@@TomuCow The answer is a resounding “f**k no” when you compare this performance to that of present-day singers’ use of auto-tune to disguise their vocal shortcomings. Leo’s vocal chops needed ZERO assistance in his singing hay day.
Probably one of the most under rated singers of all time, this guy still is an incredible singer, if you have never heard him sing you have missed something very, very special.
yea he is a great singer with wounderful lyrics ,, i always loved leos songs ,, his heart must have been broken at some stage ,with the passion he puts into a song
Had never heard this song before. Yesterday was the first birthday of my mum's to come since she died last year so I ended up watching old home movies and found one of her from 1990. She was sitting in the soft, warm light of the old living room, eight months pregnant with me, and with this song playing on the radio. She looked tired but happy as she watched my brother making a mess. This music over the relaxed scene really was beautiful. What a soulful voice.
I met my wife at a disco in oct 1978 , we had our first dance to this track , we married in 1984 , she was my world , my one true love , my only love in this life , she left me in 1987 , for another , it ripped my heart out , i did marry again , but that but that also ended , in 1999 , i have been single since , no matter how much i hated my first wife , i still hold a candle for her in my heart , and i will never get over her , she will always be my one and only true love in this life , God bless you **** !!!! , i hope you are well , and had a good life , so much time go's by so quick , i am now 64 , but it only feel's like yesterday!!! ,
@@nigellubman716 thats love thats your love,, your heart was filled with love and it was shattered,, your beautiful heart has scars like mine that will never ever heal i tell you ,, come back and say hello when ever you want ,, take care
he first came on the scene dressed as a clown..he admitted he was short and had a massive perm and he hid behind the makeup..interestingly american soul singers who had a jam with him one night raved about him and had their respect as a singer
I've recently been back in touch with someone that broke my heart way back in this era. It was for the best although I didn't know it then, one of our first dates was seeing Leo Sayer live, 76 or 77? Happy times.
Dear once-upon-a-time fourteen year old who is now eighteen ... GOD bless thee for thy good taste even at a young age ... thou art specially special!!!
Brilliant song & singer, there were four of us construction workers,in Arabia we all had girl friends in the UK, I had a cassette of Endless Flight, my mates had Barry White, Carpenters & Billy Joel, we played them all the time , made us home sick! but we stuck it out . The problem was getting batteries for the radio cassette player, it was playing the tapes or the BBC world service, this song brings back a LOT of memories.
i love leo soooooo much.my brother was a huge fan growing up and the childhood memories are amazing. then......I grew my own appreciation.amazing artist.
I still wish, I'll always wish that things had been different and you hadn't done what you did. Caroline you'll never know properly how much you hurt me. The chorus sums up how I felt after 21st December 2011 and to some extent still do.
saw leo sayer in 1978 at newcastle city hall.for the first show people sat outside in the street listening to him ,fabulous when we saw the second show just couldn't believe how good a singer he was
Dear Kevin-of-Wardle ... the dear Leo only eternalises that raw-organic-natural talent of the 1970s that will move many in all the generations that will ever come after that decade.
A true classic! You can listen to this song any day and at any time. Any person, no matter what age group will be able to relate with the lyrics. As for me, I became a total Leo Sayer fan in the early 80's.
Brilliant singer and a brilliant song this guy just gets me going everytime. I love him and he is a cutie and I too love the feeling and energy he puts into his performances. If you ever get the chance to see Leo live in concert go he's brilliant man!!!! I tood had the privilege of meeting him in person and you're quite right he is a great modest guy with a heart of gold..
Watching Phil Collins documentary and he says he heard this playing while getting a massage after skiing and he got it stuck in his head and kept singing it all day. But he thought he could do it over but he didn't want to just do a cover, he wanted to add a new slant to it. But he had no intention of putting it on the album they were working on at the time. When it came time to pick what songs to put on the album, this was one of the ones everyone thought needed to be on the album. Long story short, when the album came out this was the biggest hit on the album and Phil chuckled, "and it was the only song I didn't write."
Thanks for sharing this story. I wanted to know why Phil C covered it, and I get this answer. Now, I want to know why Celine Dion covered Leo's very popular song : When I Need You ?
U know that moment when a song just starts playing in your mind...havent heard this song in decades but today it just popped unexpectedly!!! Beautiful song takes me back to my youth!!!
Feeling quite low, with my fiance undergoing palliative care Nd trying to find some happy memories from my childhood to help me remember there's more than this. I've never shared personal information, and to be honest I'm not sure why I am now. What I do know is there are many, many others going though the same. Try to find the joy, little bits of laughter and above all, your friends.
What a beautiful song, I love the way he sings it.. It's fresh and high, still, emotes sadness and torment, "No, I cant stop loving you, though Ive tried".....

Still listening to Leo in 2024, still solid, still top class
Went to see him Saturday in Worthing his voice is still so powerful makes me cry this song as it’s what I play to my husband who has advanced Alzheimer’s 😢❤️
Bless your heart.
I'm seeing Leo at the Palladium next Tuesday, I can't wait.
Sending love to you and your husband ❤

Qué afortunada!!
WOW! ❤
❤
Awsome😊
Still brilliant live in concert 50 years later.
2023. Still listening. Older. No wiser. But that voice still gets to me every time. A classic love song.
Now THIS, boys and girls, is what a singer is supposed to sound like LIVE!
is this a joke?
@@TomuCow The answer is a resounding “f**k no” when you compare this performance to that of present-day singers’ use of auto-tune to disguise their vocal shortcomings. Leo’s vocal chops needed ZERO assistance in his singing hay day.
@@TomuCow Actually after watching this a while I think it actually is live......wow
This is what your mom sounds like live.
@@Martin-iv6lq Thanks; she's sung in public many times. :P
Probably one of the most under rated singers of all time, this guy still is an incredible singer, if you have never heard him sing you have missed something very, very special.
yea he is a great singer with wounderful lyrics ,, i always loved leos songs ,, his heart must have been broken at some stage ,with the passion he puts into a song
agree! If we can see how good these previous artists are.. Why can't they see our generation?
"
We saw him 2 months ago - the guy can still sing .Id forgotten much of his back catalogue Amazing !
Best version ever!
I like Phil's version better
Leo we are Blessed with fountains of beautiful songs & music⭐Eddie

@@secretsquirrel8685You paint a vivid picture of that scene
@@matthammond1737 Hi, I could do. However if you look closer Matt it was not me who wrote that.
@@secretsquirrel8685yeah i saw that...neermind
What a beautiful story ❤️
If today's youth accidentally watches/listens to this instead of Taylor Swift's attempt.... they'll have discovered what great singing really is.
exactly ,,its just rubbish compared to this man
a very under rated singer..too many people dismissed him unfairly
Didn't really listen to his music in my youth, but I got to say I certainly love his music now, great voice, great lyrics. Smooth and soulful.
Never really heard too much of him on the radio in his day,,,,,he certainly has the vocal talent,great music.!
randy vanwarmer too (just when I needed you most)
People of taste know of him , it's the quality of the audience not quantity that counts.
Absolutely, dear Darryl-of-Kee ... who is not emotionally 'off-key' ... rhyme!!!
My name is sandy 2 day take me back in the 70s ❤ still love that song Leo Sayer The best of years of my life ❤
Hello Sandy
How are you doing?
It's nice to have you here!
Amazing singer songwriter very underrated
A few days it will 2024 --still listening & enjoying ❤
One of Leo's finest.. had the privilege of meeting him in person.. A great, modest guy with a heart of gold..
Thy description of the dear Leo only soundeth highly believeable unto unto some of us, dear Derwentcub!!!
Great song. This is exactly what a broken man sounds like when hes lost love.
Only so well put, dear Frank-of-Crawley!!!
My ex wife told me to stop loving her.... But no self respecting loyal guy could never do that.... Hope she happy on her green grass 👍
So true
Yes 2022 my mum loved leo Sayer plus a lot of 60s 70s and 80s bands I think she was too early she was brilliant she died aged 90 91.
I met my wife at a disco in oct 1978 , we had our first dance to this track , we married in 1984 , she was my world , my one true love , my only love in this life , she left me in 1987 , for another , it ripped my heart out , i did marry again , but that but that also ended , in 1999 , i have been single since , no matter how much i hated my first wife , i still hold a candle for her in my heart , and i will never get over her , she will always be my one and only true love in this life , God bless you **** !!!! , i hope you are well , and had a good life , so much time go's by so quick , i am now 64 , but it only feel's like yesterday!!! ,
Life is all memory
Fantastic singer, I am sill listening to Leo, my Mum saw him 5 times in concert and always said he was brilliant, she is 83 now!
Hiii
How’re you doing?
Thanks for the compliment
Leo's love songs sound so much better than today's stuff.
The song took my heart and ripped it out all over again there's just some people you can't stop loving
I know what you mean. My heart was ripped apart years ago by someone i loved very much. It has never healed, never will.
So true
@@nigellubman716 thats love thats your love,, your heart was filled with love and it was shattered,, your beautiful heart has scars like mine that will never ever heal i tell you ,, come back and say hello when ever you want ,, take care
My favourite Leo Sayer track
Hauntingly beautiful. No one does pain better than Leo Sayer.
Phil Collins
Well Phil made it successful and Taylor Swift is bringing it back again..
🙂 you can say that again!! 😘💓 GREAT MUSIC FROM THE 80's ,👍
We are amused only in a good way in the way you expressed your sentiment, dear Rich-of-Zamperini!!!
Old enough to remember this, Phil and now Taylor. All great. Thanks everyone
Yes 2024 got a few of his vinyl albums.
Brings back so many memories of my days in the navy when I had to leave loved ones behind
Why isn't this guy massively famous?
And people like Justin Bieber are known all over the place..
Mysteries of life.
+SALVATORE SCANIGLIA He WAS massively famous for over a decade.
+SALVATORE SCANIGLIA Back in the day he was massive!!
+SALVATORE SCANIGLIA he is
he first came on the scene dressed as a clown..he admitted he was short and had a massive perm and he hid behind the makeup..interestingly american soul singers who had a jam with him one night raved about him and had their respect as a singer
I'am probably alone in this, but I think it be cool to see Justin Bieber have an afro, bell bottom slacks, and sing just as awesome as Leo Sayer.
I've recently been back in touch with someone that broke my heart way back in this era. It was for the best although I didn't know it then, one of our first dates was seeing Leo Sayer live, 76 or 77? Happy times.
Anyone still listening to Leo in 2020?
2021… still here x
2022 still listening!
2022
Y
2022 and just saw him for his 50th anniversary with my little brother who’s named after him 🙂 Leo was incredible! Hope I get to see him again!
I"'ll walk away and you wont know that I was lying".What a killer line.
Decades later it still cuts to the bone.
Oh my, what a gorgeous song, tugs at my heart…

I can’t stop loving you 🌹

kevin wardle I bet it was amazing, he is such a tallent.
+kevin wardle that sounds brilliant. He really was a star..
Dear Kevin-of-Wardle ... the dear Leo only eternalises that raw-organic-natural talent of the 1970s that will move many in all the generations that will ever come after that decade.
After 45 years apart this song sums it all up for me. 😢
A beautiful powerful voice...Where are you now Leo
I have always loved Leo Sayer, I am age 71 the same age as Leo. He's a sweetheart with a beautiful voice!
Butiful😊😊
1970's were the best life was good.
Real singing 🎶
Leo Can look back at these songs and say, 'This Was Me', With great pride. He is an underrated singer of his time.....
Not written by him. It is a cover.
Oh, how true ring the words of the dear Neil Blackley!!! 'The Leo' was lovely!!!
@@KTK44 Yes written by billy nicholls and sung by white horse 1977
Underrated ? how so he had lots of hits and his own tv show thats not underrated pal .
A true classic! You can listen to this song any day and at any time. Any person, no matter what age group will be able to relate with the lyrics. As for me, I became a total Leo Sayer fan in the early 80's.
And I about a decade earlier in the low-mid 70's ~

What a great soulful voice this man has
I don't know why im crying. It sounds painful to me. I can feel it
Dear Jewel is a natural empath in tune with the emotions of others. GOD bless the dear Jewel for the empathy she might not even know she has !!!
It sounds painful to you and you can feel it? But you dont know why youre crying! You might need to think about that!!
I am a big fan of Leo. What more can I say? Love ya Leo!
What a brilliant song and voice
He sang such wonderful ballads.
A brilliant voice & a brilliant tune.
A great song by a great singer.
Nope. It is not made by Sayer. It's a cover.
Simple words that encapsulate such truth, dear Alan-of-Dutton.
