Leo Sayer – The Artist

Gerard Hugh “Leo” Sayer (born 1948) is an English-Australian singer and songwriter who has been active since the early 1970s. He has been an Australian citizen and resident since 2009.
Sayer launched his career in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s and became a top singles and album act on both sides of the Atlantic in that decade. His first seven UK hit singles reached the Top 10 – a feat first accomplished by his first manager, Adam Faith.[ His songs have been sung by other notable artists, including Cliff Richard (“Dreaming”), Roger Daltrey and Three Dog Night. Sayer began his music career co-writing songs with David Courtney, including “Giving It All Away”, which gave Roger Daltrey of the Who his first solo hit in 1973. All but two of the songs on the album Daltry were co-written by Sayer and Courtney. The same year, Sayer began his career as a recording artist under the management of Adam Faith, who signed Sayer to the Chrysalis label in the United Kingdom and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. His debut single, “Why Is Everybody Going Home”, failed to chart, but he achieved national prominence in the United Kingdom with his second single, the music hall-styled song “The Show Must Go On”, which Sayer performed on British television wearing a pierrot costume and makeup. The single went to No. 2 on the United Kingdom singles chart, as did his debut album, Silverbird, co-written with David Courtney, who also co-produced the album with Adam Faith.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing – The Song

“You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” is a song credited to British singer Leo Sayer, taken from his 1976 album Endless Flight.
Ray Parker Jr. claims that the song was stolen from him after he played it in a studio for an executive who promised he’d get credit. Parker received no royalties and no credit for that song.
Like other Sayer songs from that time, it features extensive use of the singer’s falsetto voice, a very popular vocal register in disco-era songs. Sayer performed the song in the second episode of season 3 of The Muppet Show.

The Dancers – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a male and female dancing couple. Dance is an art form, often classified as a sport, consisting of sequences of body movements with aesthetic and often symbolic value, either improvised or purposefully selected. Dance can be categorised and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements or by its historical period or place of origin. Dance is typically performed with musical accompaniment, and sometimes with the dancer simultaneously using a musical instrument themselves.
