Search - Leo Sayer :: Very Best of

Searching for hits in the '70s, Leo Sayer became a tender balladeer, an Elton John wannabe, a falsetto-voiced disco crooner, and a straightforward pop "entertainer." Remarkably, Sayer was good was at everything-from the Tin Pan Alley pop to the power ballads. While he will certainly be remembered for "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," Sayer's versatility is what's immediately obvious on this compilation. And aside from its obvious nostalgic charm, The Very Best of Leo Sayer sketches a portrait of a singer not only loaded with talent and ability, but also with resourcefulness, dedication, and an ability to remake himself with a speed that might impress Madonna. Loaded with songs you may have forgotten that you loved, this package, with comprehensive liner notes and hilarious photos, is both a consummate '70s document and a very entertaining listen. --S. Duda
