Roger Daltrey - Leo Sayer "Giving It All Away"

[@thomasalexander9136]

Wow ..much more respect for Daltrey

[@sarasalzman1447]

It's on a Daltrey solo album.

[@jamesagostisi2518]

Excellent - Finds like this is what makes KZbin great.

[@Chukachukker]

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.

[@Jsmithyy]

From Essex at the river mouth he lives in Australia now. I met him twice best time was at the bar at Clive Palmer's golf course. Met Clive and Glenn Shorock.

[@googlestinx]

I cannot believe this was one of Leo's productions!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Way to go Leo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Leo sayer very underrated singer.great voice.

[@freebornjohn6876]

Underrated songwriter too.

[@chrisbuesnell3428]

No. He's not underrated at all. Everyone who should know , knows

[@jamesdunn2214]

Nah, he's rated way up there.

[@dsto2716]

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.

[@mjh5437]

Leo Sayer was a big star a LONG time before this one.

[@pj5517]

​@@mjh5437He simply wasn't. It was Leo Sayer's breakthrough year , 1973 that Roger had a hit with this. He was an unknown when he wrote this

[@mikenicholas9017]

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.

[@paulwoodward6251]

Òther way round pal😂😂

[@LuisCorro-qy1sf]

It is 2024 now and two days ago, Roger Daltrey sang the song (he is on a solo tour), and spoke about this.

[@CrueLoaf]

That performance? That performance? That performance? That performance is stunning! Effortless both men living those words.

[@FokkeMol]

Never knew Leo Sayer wrote this. Great song. Great bloke too, Leo.

[@neilmorrison3288]

No he didn't

[@FokkeMol]

@@neilmorrison3288 Never knew i was wrong with the idea that Leo Sayer wrote this song. "Ooooh and i know better now,,,,,"

[@stanssoapbox]

Yes he did

[@stanssoapbox]

You are not wrong. Leo did write the song

[@nicolebourcierphotographer]

Well, what is better than either of these guys singing this song solo? the two of them together singing this song- fabulous

[@davidkavanagh9551]

My friend chose this for his funeral as we carried him out of the church. And the whole of the church was in tears 😢

[@josbruls]

Very touching.

I read Roger's book last summer, what a lad, what a story of a self-made man.

[@alosadav]

I really want to read it. Read a few years ago the one from Townshend ant it was amazing too

[@stephanblack4558]

Daltrey Is brilliant.

[@jackiebell1533]

Who gave this a thumbs down? This is absolutely amazing *wipes-tears-from-eyes* absolutely first class. Thanks for this video, you made my day!

Only leo can make the just a boy lyric go from high to low.. and mean what it should

Watch leo minstral version and notice the difference 😃

Ohhh how did I miss this epic event!! Wow !

@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!

[@lafreewaylafreeway]

Leo Sayer is so massively underrated. Amazing voice, brilliant song

[@elleallison4975]

Masterpiece of a song

Wonderful to see them both sing it....What a great song.

[@joeoconnor2004]

Nothing underated about leo sayer he is a true entertainer and skillful singersongwriter

[@tomregina7301]

Roger sung this on his brief 2024 tour and he sounded great. He hasn't lost his voice yet even at 80 years old

[@nedgentz5740]

Leo wrote most of the tunes for Roger's first solo record, early 70s. I have it on vinyl. It's really good

[@johnhenshaw7655]

I also Ned

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

I was just a boy

[@chrislunnon1265]

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 !

[@nedgentz5740]

@@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.

[@peacec47]

Roger brilliant they are great together

[@musicstewart9744]

Even if you wrote the tune, it’s still got to be gutsy to do a duet with Roger.

[@royferguson3909]

bullshit, Leo is top-shelf

[@nealefoster4798]

He smashes it though

[@bezziano57]

❤️ Cry every time i hear this. God bless The Who, Rog, and Leo..

[@seanobrien2835]

I pickef this song for my brothers funeral, just Leo Sayer though. Still evokes memories.

[@lousheeny]

Me too, very appropriate lyrics sadly 😢

[@davidharris3914]

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

Leo has a great voice, and it hasn't lost anything at all. Still touring and filling up stadiums all standing and singing along.

[@rogerbranton1752]

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!

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.

[@malcymal]

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.
