I like this song, Its a Classic Love Song, Leo definitely puts his heart and soul into his music. I respect his great talent for getting peoples emotions racing, through music.... Great song Leo, your a Class act.
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.
@@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
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'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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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..
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".....
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.
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!!!
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
Dear Ravenhill The Sword Merchant of 1968 ... indeed, there is much mastery in this timeless 'masterpiece'. None should ever hate thee for only bravely speaking truth unto the world. Thank you, dear brave person !!!
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 ?
I'm so proud and honored to be able to be in one of his concerts recently held here in Sri Lanka. He a very humble human. I enjoyed his performance alot. A huge fan of this mans music since child hood. Now I'm 31
