No one can say the man can't sing, love that raspy voice

I keep looking up videos of this song and it’s never the same twice. The man finds a new hook each time.

You're so right about this. My favorite will always be his Muppet Show performance of it because I grew up with that one, but it's been so cool to hear all his other recordings.

@TopSeniorPlayer Ай бұрын

falsetto, one of the best at it. He always changed his voice. Love ''you make me feel like dancing'' as he picks up and sounds like a young Micheal Jackson. He is so skilled.

The main thing I love about this YT channel is discovering performances I never saw. I honestly didn't know Leo Sayer wrote and performed this before Three Dog Night's version. I still love their take on the song, but Leo hit this out of the park- great voice, great theater.

There are a few different versions of this song , and he puts his heart and soul into each one, incredible!! First saw 5his as a little kid, and I really thought i would never see it again. It was way better than I remember. Thank you Leo!!

Theatricality at its finest! Sayer was quite honestly a pioneer.

@Nikki11369 3 ай бұрын

I owned and loved the Three Dog Night version back then and it's still my favorite version. They changed the last line to "I must let the show go on". Leo hated that. Lol.

Silverbird (1973) and Just a Boy (1974) are two of my fave albums of all time. Sensational singer/songwriter styled albums (Sayer and Producer/Pianist David Courtney)

Leo Sayer is always fun to watch. Great voice. I almost thought this is the song by queen. Lol.

I saw the title of the video with the thumbnail and thought "so the original isn't by Queen?" 😅 But I started listening to this and I loved it.

@murdockscott 2 ай бұрын

Wow! That is amazing! One: I did not know it was a Leo Sayer song! Two: His version is now my favorite version! This performance and staging must have been mind blowing back then. I really regret that it was broadcast on one of the nights that the little kid version of me failed to stay up past their bedtime! I imagine it would have had a big impact on me.

@Kairos1955 Ай бұрын

You can be a child once more by listening his version with The Muppets show.

@murdockscott Ай бұрын

@ Shortly after posting this I searched out all live performances of this song and was reacquainted with his appearance on the muppets! I must have seen it (likely more than once) over the years and although it doesn’t have the same emotional impact as this midnight Special performance, it’s still great!

Three Dog Night had a big hit with this song. Leo alsk wrote One Man Band for Roger Daltrey.

This is the second clip with Leo singing the same song. The versions are distinct. I wonder what the story is behind these two performances.

@Dr_Paul_Proteus 3 ай бұрын

He wears the clown costume in both performances. The first time, he was introduced by Dr. Hook. This time, it's George Carlin.

@Dr_Paul_Proteus 3 ай бұрын

The other performance is in the 50th episode of Midnight Special. Mr. Sugarman isolated that one too, so it's easy to find if you search for it.

A different side of Leo Sayer. He should have been more popular. He took this 3 dog night song to another level.

@jotacalvo 3 ай бұрын

Did you not listen to Carlin’s intro? This isn’t 3 Dog Night’s song, it’s his. He wrote it and did the original. 3 Dog Night did HIS song
