Yesterday I was bantering with a colleague, asking each other music questions. I asked him 'Who wrote the songs on Roger Daltrey's first solo album?' The answer is '(Mainly) Leo Sayer'.
Made me wonder what Sayer is up to now, and started me thinking about why I went off him, as I'd bought his first few albums.
So today I'm watching a music documentary while doing a bit of stuff and there's Leo Sayer describing how he went almost by accident from being a songwriter for Roger Daltrey to turning up on Top Of The Pops in the Pierrot costume.
He went on to describe how he eventually became known for doing other people's ballads and sort of lost his way as a singer/songwriter until he was 'rediscovered' by a dance DJ.
Thank you, Music Coincidence Fairies!
