[@fairdose]

Ah, I have so many warm, fuzzy feelings around Leo Sayer's songs, listening to them in the car with my parents in the late 70s - lovely to see him here.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed, all my memories of his music are associated with incredible times!

[@spitfiremusic3997]

Rewatched! So good!

[@Producelikeapro]

[@jemwand2530]

Absolutely wonderful interview I would have enjoyed listening to Leo tell his anecdotes for a good time longer. A great artist with a whole lot of life and enthusiasm for his work, bless him.

[@Producelikeapro]

Stay tuned! More to come!

[@spitfiremusic3997]

Great stuff! Leo is THE best!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@NewFalconerRecords]

I was waiting for the songwriting stuff, it didn't come for a while, but loved the interview anyway, Leo has got so much positive energy. But then he told the story about 'Moonlighting' -- a song that I never understood lyrically, and now it all makes sense. Leo Sayer has written several great narrative songs. 'Orchard Road' is really interesting song, it all takes place in a phone booth when he talks to his ex, and there's the possibility of a reconciliation. He's an Australian citizen now, so we Aussies love Leo even more.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@leesnelson7094]

I really enjoyed this. I loved Leo Sayer when I was young in the seventies and he seems like a real likeable man. Thanks for the memories.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing

[@madolly2000]

Great Masterclass - Richard and Leo are a fantastic pairing!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@CrushingAxes]

Great video!! Awesome interview!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@MrMusic-nd5to]

I remember the album "Endless Flight" being played on an 8-Track Tape in my mothers car. I always liked Leo Sayer's voice and style! "You make me feel like dancing," (written by Leo Sayer and Vini Ponciaand) and "When I need you" (written by Albert Hammond and Carole Bayer Sager) are great songs! Both songs went to Number 1 in the U.S. and were Produced by Richard Perry and Engineered by Bill Schnee. The songs included a "Hall of Fame" cast of musicians including: Larry Carlton, Ray Parker Jr, Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro, Chuck Rainey, Willie Weeks, Michael Omartian, Dean Parks, Bobby Keys, and James Newton Howard... to name a few! GREAT INTERVIEW! I'm glad to see Leo is still performing and doing well! 🎶🎹🎶🎸🎶🎤

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing! Yes, when we talked to Bill Schnee he told us about squeezing those songs in during a Steely Dan session!

[@MrMusic-nd5to]

@@Producelikeapro Yes, I LOVED your interview with Bill Schnee! He's a talented and humble man! He sent me an autographed copy of his book "Chairman at the Board" when it first came out! Thanks Warren, I appreciate you my friend! 🎶🎹🎶🎸

[@Producelikeapro]

@@MrMusic-nd5to thanks ever so much! Bill is a wonderful guy and a huge talent!
