What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Not sure who came along first, Leo Sayer or Richard Simmons. They reminded me of each other. I followed Leo's career
moreso than Richard's. Leo is a brit but I see he became an Australian citizen in 2009, and his last album, in 2008
says Australian release only. Wonder what that's all about. This is his second album. I was on board from the first
but jumped off at some point, probably when disco found it's way. He was much bigger in the UK than here, scoring 5 top 10 albums there, with this one at #4, and a #16 in the US. Two singles were released here, One Man Band barely cracked the chart, and Long Tall Glasses a #9. Only one I dont like on here, Telepath, where the quivering voice is just too much. Five love tracks wipes that out though making it slip into the love ranks. This may be my favorite Sayer album.
