Leo Sayer, born Gerard Hugh Sayer on May 21, 1948, is a renowned British singer-songwriter and musician whose career has spanned several decades since the early 1970s. He gained immense popularity with his distinctive voice and an array of hits that blended elements of rock, disco, and soul. Sayer's expressive vocal performances and introspective lyrics resonated with audiences worldwide, and he became well-known for chart-topping singles such as "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," which won a Grammy Award, and the romantic ballad "When I Need You."

Throughout his career, Leo Sayer has continued to evolve as an artist, releasing a diverse range of songs that showcase his versatile songwriting ability. His more recent works, like "Think Loud (4 PD)," a bellowing anthem that reflects his command over the power-pop genre, and "The Missing Link (Expanded Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)," which exhibits his ability to contribute significantly to a film's soundscape, illustrate his enduring creativity. Not only does Sayer continue to create new original content, but he also revisits the works of other artists, bringing his unique touch to songs like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Strawberry Fields Forever," where his renditions pay homage to the enduring legacy of The Beatles. With his latest releases, such as "My City in Lockdown" reflecting on contemporary issues, and the reflective "How Did We Get Here?," Sayer showcases his talent for connecting with the zeitgeist while maintaining the emotional depth and warmth that has characterized his music over the years.
