Roger Daltrey guest stars on "The Leo Sayer Show" 20 Feb 1984. Together they sing the song written by Leo Sayer and David Courtney for Roger's first solo album "Daltrey".
@Jackie - Well mate, it's for that VERY reason that uTube SACKED HIM!! - And all his other Thumbs-Down weeny buddies!! They're all history! Great song - it's a toss-up for me whether I like Leo's version or Rogers better. But it was great that this song helped bring Leo the recognition he deserved!
Much thanks to all my fans all over the globe, your comments and support has been my strength from the beginning. What part of the globe are you streaming from?
I remember Leo explaining how this all came together in an interview back in the early 80s.He was friends with Roger and unable to get a record deal. Roger had asked Leo to write so songs for him and a week or so later came back with a bunch of songs. The album was a huge success for Roger and Leo s career took off from them. Roger always has been so grateful to Leo for the success of this album and for the start of his solo career.
This was on Just a Boy album released by Leo in October 74 with his breakout hit Long Tall Glasses. Not many folks had his Silverbird album, released November 73 at that time, but my brother did. We knew every word of every song, but never heard it get airplay. When long tall glasses hit.. we heard that every 30 mins on radio.
I met Sir Gerard Hugh 'Leo Sayer' in 2008 at King's Road in the London Borough of Chelsea. We had a friendly conversation. He's 78 years in May 2022. May God bless him and Sir Roger Daltrey.
Leo and Roger singing live and a hard song to sing as well in the pebble mill studios, who out of the new breed of singers would do this now? I bet there wouldn't be many takers to put thereselves on offer like this
Hi ned . Did leo write this song for roger ? Because to me leo steals this song just saying. Although I've only heard Roger singing it ? Until I've seen this version. Great professionals at work !
@@chrislunnon1265 Not an expert, but yes I think that Leo wrote this one and the others on that old Daltrey album expressly for Roger. Leo is very talented, trained as a mime. Find his video for his big hit Long Tall Glasses. It's real fun.
Nice. As huge a Who fan as I am through RU-vid you always discover something you've never seen before. A duet between the singer and the writer. Wonderful.
I was going to post the same thing when I saw your comment. I'm a huge Daltrey fan but I know Leo Sayer too, of course. If anyone can hold his own with Roger Daltrey, they're doin' OK!
I was listening to a version of Leo Sayer of this song and thinking "I thought this was a Roger Daltrey song! Well, my memory is not what it used to be... Then I found (thanks Google) it was written by Leo and sung by Roger! It was not a memory problem, it was a knowledge problem. This brought many memories back, I was just a boy then.
Great composition, leaves a lump in my throat 😢. Just a Boy, wish some of the guys I knew could've said and done just that. " I know Better now" yet some haven't learnt the separation of boyhood into manhood... Love these two in their careers. Awesome entertainers ❤️
Great song. Daltrey's recording was released a year before Sayer recorded it in 74. But I recall Sayer singing a great version of the song on television.
Leo sayer wrote the songs for rogers album titled Daltrey . So one man band released by both artists. Roger happened to be in studio at same time Leo was and as it wasn't happening artistically he asked Leo to help. I think other members of the who were doing own thing and roger at loose end.
