Sayer, Leo - One Man Band Lyrics

Me encanta!!! 👏👏👏

Saw him at Glasgow Apollo around 1973 before he was famous. He was the support act for Rocky music.

My husband introduced me to this amazing singer! Beautiful!

British royalty...

You can see where Mcfly got there intro for their track Obviously

I'm extremely saddened by the fact that I'm 41 and barely discovering this genius.
You know what, I'm happy that I have.

Brilliant Jim Irene 👍

He moved to Australia in 2005 and became an Aussie Citizen.

EAT THIS MENEER WOTERS

Very good song by Leo Sayer.

His voice is so wonderful. He makes the lyrics live!

Severely underrated.

ARE YOU SURE ITS FOR ROGER DALTRY...?I THINCK ITS MORE MY SONG SUITS ME WELL.CHRIS

Very underrated.

You know I was born and around in this era,there were a few bands around like the lrb but they looked up to these folks.

5th February 1974, BBC studios, London

Thank you. I've always wondered where and when this was taped. It was shown in the States on a late-night music series called "In Concert," aired in August of '74. No explanation or background given, just this amazing concert out of nowhere. I've loved this era of him ever since, but sadly it was an early peak that he would never match again.

masterly

Seen him in Dublin brought the house down brilliant jim Irene? Thee best.

Don't make songs like this anymore. Jim Irene?

Possibly my favourite Leo Sayer track. Loved it when it came out in 1974.

Back on tour is leo
Playing the queen's Hall
Edinburgh I'm 71
I'll BE THERE

@Patrick Docherty Great - I will check to see if he is playing in Nottingham / Derby or Leicester. Ages since I have seen him (in Derby if I recall). Great performer and great songs.

This guy was a genius

Great Song - great Performance

a great song.

Now thats what i call music.

Shannon if you see this I love you

I have just got Home. I am in serious need of a shower/drink and a few hours kip. 
Well I'm a one man band. Nobody knows nor understands.

Leo is touring UK May and June in the UK. Ill be going

Difficult to say who did it better. Daltrey's voice was stronger but the passion here is undeniable

If only we had artists like this now

I find myself spending my last night in my home of so many many years. Now divorcing I have to leave and this song normally one I listen to tapping my foot I now find I listen to as the tears roll down my face.. wonder if I'll listen to it again..

My funeral song x

Only underestimated by the narrow minded. Pure quality

I’ve watched some great bands, The Alarm, The Manics, Muse , Tom McRae, Future Islands, Levellers,loads but that gig which I was dragged to on behalf of my friends was the best night ever, what a songsmith, brill beyond clean pants

Dedicated to Mrs therasa may

some people look back

Excellent

oh Leo, great

I went to a Leo Sayer concert at university in the early 1970s. This song is first class. Creativity and an open heart.

Old friend.

He looks like Justin beiber in clown make up. Far more talent by far thow

Holy Jeez, a song / performance 4 decades old, but absolutely timeless!!!!

All my life Ive loved this mans voice and we were so lucky to have seen his show recently in Torquay then met him after the show for selfies and a chat! AWESOME a great loss to the UK as he now lives in Australia (mind you a wise move as poor old UK is on its knees so I think we will have to leave the land we were born in 60 years ago) :((

Thanks Leo great to meet you!

Australia is just as bad

this song is part of my daily routine =D

One of the best singers ever!! His voice is very Noteworthy!!

Good song love it

One of the best vocalists that to ever live.

Mein Lied

cliff Richard

What a 🌟 star,, l delivered his mail in his old house

How did he get this Hair StrAIGHT?

Seeing him tonight...genius.

Shaun is this you. It me barbara

Here I am again. I’ll never get tired of him. I listen to these videos often and I’m equally entertained every time.

Leo Sayer siempre me pareció excelentísimo artista, pero muy infravalorado. Como si un productor hubiera decidido tomar su carrera por el lado comercial y fue muy famoso en los 70s, pero este artista daba para mucho más.

welcome all you NAY-SAYER'S this is ART

I hate when I say ‘Leo sayer’ and people respond ‘who?’ So underrated

A truly beautiful singer and story teller. Don't make them like this anymore!!

"Drop half a crown in". Baffling for the younger generation. 12 and a half pence in modern money, doesn't buy much. In 1974 it was quite something if you were a child and were given half a crown pocket money. There were 8 in a pound (note), if you got £1 a week, you were loaded.

Best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know where this is? What venue? Cheers

Marc Ambrose BBC Studios London England February 5 1974. The show aired running 30 minutes. DVD now available; Leo Sayer live in Concert BBC 2-5-74. DVD is region-free.

Alan Partridge brought me here.

ITS WRITTEN FOR ME THANKCS

NICE NICE NICE NICE BEAUTFIL MY MAN WISH IIII COULD RIGHT LIKE THAT CHRIS

A true Soul MAN 😎 great voice

who remembers Daultrys album Leo wrote this one for the album when he was a kid.

What a clown! Great song! But a shame drug taking has dulled his sense of wardrobe.

About time some people in the media stop latching on to "punk" whenever talking about the late 1970s..... There was alot more to it than that. As the level of talent on display here surely proves.

Underrated. He got screwed over by his record company, so I've heard.

I really need to see him perform before he passes away.

hmm only in the United Kingdom. Well. I guess not. Perhaps I can pay him to play on my next birthday.

He's still AROUND!!...lives In Australia !

This man is so underrated
From someone who loves Bowie, Beatles, House and reggae music

Very cool songs clap clap

wish to buy this album and live concert :( where can i find them

Just dropped by to revisit my early childhood. Thank you for sharing your wonderful voice Leo. 💙💜❤

why the white robe ?

This is the original and is very good.

Moonlighting still a great song

What is it about him? Incomparable is just a beginning.

SHE LIKED WAYNE SLEEP AND I LIKED LEO SAYER - GP FIGURE...

Best Cover...

Brilliant artist!

This is better than 3 dog nights version.

John Zyp The Three Dog Night covered The Show Must Go On

Of course it is , he wrote it, it's his song

One of the worst songs I ever had rhe misfortune of hearing.What a show it must have been watching that pillock.

As a young bloke, what was with the clown outfit?

He was shy in his early days.. so he wears this disguise.

I saw this guy at the Trenton War Memorial. He was the opener for ELO. Good Show...Great voice. Years ahead of his time. Clown suits rule.

He was shy in his early days.. so he wears this disguise.

A great song and a wonderfull performance!

One of the most underrated song writers singers ever brilliant

These are the real pop performers. Bring back real music anyday .
?leo is one of the few left and still going strong ? Still go to his concerts anyday bring it on leo...

wow... brilliant. not born in the era Bt glad I could see Leyo in concert Johannesburg 2017. great singer.

this is a really underrated song i didn't realise he was this good

god bless youtube. just this way i can see this wonderfull show

I agree with you, I loved he's music, he seemed to just fade away from the public eye, my late brother knew him, which made a difference as you got what the song's ment to him

This bloke could and can perform LIVE

this guy shld be in the hall of fame................wwwwoooooooooooooooooooowwwwww...!!!!

gundula gaukel I agree 100%

How haven't I heard of this guy! Was the clown thing something her always did or is it a one off because it's cool😋

Ben Gale Leo only used the clown suit in concerts during the first year or year and a half of his career....as his self confidence grew, off came the clown suit.

I always thought Leo only did this. He's amazing

one classic song that brings back so many memories 56 now oh my teenage years good ole 70,s

Agree. Middle school days.

Shades of Ralph McTells Streets of London

Love leo his good :)
