Great version written by Leo himself and Three Dog Night had a huge hit with it in the summer of 1974. Who knew that Leo could rock a clown suit and a couple years before "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and we see the real Leo with the curly hair and all. It'll be a few years before we see him performing "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and "When I Need You" on TMS though. While I was looking on You Tube he was on TMS again in 1977 performing "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and "When I Need You" and I believe "More Than I Can Say" which was his latest hit at the time in 1980.

Just rediscovered this gem. This song strikes a chord with me. It did in 74 and now is 2024...

[alangreenley]

only in the 70, s one of the best live singers ever" take a bow sir" sadly never to be repeated

[ginacantabene]

The 70’s were great for music. And live vocals!!

[aintyourlapdog]

A real voice and talent without autotune.. hats off to Leo..

[ralphflores]

Such great vocal versatility. He sang some great songs!

[ginacantabene]

Live performances without autotune. Those were the days.

LEO SAYER IS SUCH A PART OF MY YOUTH. THIS SONG BURNS IN MY HEART. IT WILL BE ONE OF MY FUNERAL SONGS. LEO IS A MUSICAL GENIUS. DID YOU SEE HIM PERFORM THIS WITH THE MUPPETS? WOW. I LOVE THIS MAN.

[davidshowmaker]

I saw him sing this in another video and he is singing it different!

[DavidHamm-fbnx]

I had the pleasure of seeing Leo Sayer live a few years ago in a 70s revival tour. He did an hour long set with all the hits and he was absolutely brilliant. David Cassidy was the headliner and Leo blew him off stage.

I've seen several of his live renditions of this songb and all are unique and well executed.

[patrickkelley-unpv]

I remember watching this the night it aired, I only knew of Leo from the credits on my Daltry album. Still like listening to his music.

[victorgallagher]

He used to tour with Roxy Music when he was getting started. How cool would of that been to be at one of those shows. 🤯🤯🤯

[LordEriolTolkien]

Became so beloved in Australia, he lives here

[littlejeffmo]

I remember watching that on The Midnight Special. Then I went out & got his 2 albums "Silverbird" & "Just A Boy".

#Wowza! Never knew Leo wrote and sang this song!?🤔 Sooo freaking Different than when I think of his usual style of music!!😜

[marcocastillo]

In other videos he showed more enthusiasm and joy when he sang. He seems dejected and sad in this version.

[OldGuyHere]

Me too I'm on my reunion tour with my music of 60 years and I never have leave my living room. Isn't life grand sometimes.

[mkogrady]

I never realized how good he was or is.

[labspeciman]

Leo looks tired in this one. There is another video of this song where he shows his range. He is a phenom.
