@@Queen_of_Hearts-Sharnell Kind of spazzy but we love Leo anyway! TBH I was never really into Leos Falsetto voice. It was always too piercing and straining to me, just like Frankie Valli. BUT... Leos "FULL voice" in his regular register which he sings here, was always very very impressive and so much more expressive.
@@Mahlercougar I can respect that. I never knew what he really looked like that until I already thought he was a dreamy romantic icon when I was a preteen. I do have this thing about a falsetto that I never realized until I started watching Jay’s reactions to it. I would figure it kinda messes with guys going through voice change, probably my brothers hated it. But I love it for some reason!!
This is what made life so much fun during the 70's and 80's was the music 🎶🎼 and the good times with family and friends. No swearing, violence and degrading women. Real songs sung by artist with real vocal talent.
Same here was just entering my teens around then. Between the 60's 70's and 80's we truly were a blessed generation with the incredible solo artists and groups.
Been listening to Leo Sayer for a longtime, I play his music everywhere I go, a truly gifted person. Consider playing Orchid Road, Have You Ever Been In Love, Once In A While, his music is pure joy to the heart & mind! A super nice guy, God bless from Australia.
when this song first came out, probably before your dad was born, i used to play the last 45 seconds of this song , over and over. 60's, 70's and 80's, nothing like it. especially the 70's.
I was six when this song came out and I grew up, listening to disco because my mother was a disco queen if you will. I was born in New Jersey but moved to Miami in my younger years and grew up in Miami but I remember when we lived in New Jersey my mom getting ready to go out because she used to go to studio 54 blue-eyed Italian with a blonde Afro and I remember thinking about how awesome my mom was I was so amazed by her! Anyway, I’m 53 years old now until this day disco is everything for me. If somebody said to me for the rest of your life, you can only listen to one genre of music. I would pick disco, even though I love hip-hop, R&B, Rock I love heavy-metal I listen to everything except Country but if I could only have one genre for the rest of my life, it would be disco. And let me mention that this is one of the most beautiful love songs, ever written a song is musically and lyrical genius
I love Leo! A great Aussie singer. Fascinating side note, he was going to stay at Graceland with Elvis but the day he was going to go, Elvis died. The show must go on is another great one by him (but like the others said, you make me feel like dancing is great!)
I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Hood when this song come out. And of course, it made me think of a girl back home in Ohio. I always loved this song. Thanks for the memories. God bless.
I remembered that i had heard this song before , AS soon AS IT started.Beautiful song.Thumb up for the music from the 70s and 80s , and back in the 60s AS well .Very great music during the 60s too.
He was so cute--you just wanted to put him in your pocket. Back in the day the artist would be live but they would have their record playing. This was perfectly fine with the audience especially if the studio did not provide a band for them to sing to.
That's why I'm a stickler for the studio version... hmmm... it was pushed back in the day, people wanted to hear it like they first heard it even if it done as it was in this kind of setting. Now I want to hear it like it was originally done, not with notes or words changed as they grow in their popularity and number of performances as they have done since.
@@hudsonsteele1674 Yes! Exactly...they start growing in popularity and the next thing you know...it sounds nothing like the original. That's a big disappointment to me.
@@southernenigma3427 I just watched three seconds of a reaction to a live version of Led Zeppelin's Black Dog. Evidently he couldn't hit the high notes any more, went down instead of up the scale. Click! That made me think that losing range plays a part in them changing notes as they get older. I can't hit the high notes any more, either. (Have a hard time hitting the low ones) ;-)
Beautiful song by Leo...Haven't heard this gem in decades...Gotta like his "fro"....I think his first hit was Long Tall Glasses, which is upbeat and fun. I also remember his song You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, which was very good also.....1970's, baby!!....side note....song was written by the legendary Carol King
I heard this driving through the desert on the way to my first deployment it felt so real coming from my radio it's hard to explain it felt magical I'll never forget that.
I had the privilege of seeing Leo Sayer live at The Troubadour in Hollywood, California right as he was breaking out. In that standing-room-only crowd (where I was one of those who were standing) was George Harrison of The Beatles (who was standing to my right about 3 feet away). After the show, a very drunk Joe Cocker helped us find our car when we discovered that the car park attendant had gone home. An unforgettable night all the way around. And Leo Sayer was fantastic. One of the top 5 live performances I've ever seen. And I've seen a ton of them. This video, by the way, is not live. He's lip-syncing to the single that was a huge hit.
Loved it when it came out...didnt hit home til I lost my fiancé to covid in November. He was an over the road trucker, and died alone in NY. We were apart often...never thought we would never get to say goodbye
Jayvee, this came out in 1977 - the year I retired from the USAF after 20 years of service. I loved this sone then - and I LOVE it now,. I knew you'd like it too. Thanks,
I have always loved the section when he flat out sings a duet with the sax. Never got enough of these slow dances when it felt like we were the only two people on the planet.
I say yes & OMG no! Do we have to do that to Jay? Is he ready for the heartbreak of Gilbert & *that* song? Oh well, I haven’t listened to it since my mum died 2 years ago. If he does review it I’ll just have to cry along with him ✌️
