Spent some time on this I intended to put lead guitar and some harmony but lost interest.
Thanks for listening....Alex

This is a great vocal performance. Beautifully done. I've always liked this Leo Sayer song.

Even though it was very good to begin with, TJ's lead did add some good spice!

Love it!

OTD bump - this is killer - I've always had a bit of a soft spot for this song. The backer's fantastic, topped off by your vocals Alex and then a lead guitar is added (PJ) and harmonies by (TJ) (your voices blend together like you're brother and sister btw). Outstanding - take a bow!

OTD Bump,

I cant believe this was 6 years ago,
I posted this with no guitar just keyboard,
Then TJ Witchita added guitar and Wiley added some vocal.....

I saw Leo Sayer years ago at (of all things) a Guitarist magazine show. I'd always written him off as a bit of a middle-of-the-road pop balladeer, but he was a great that night & I realised just how many great songs he'd done over the years. This is a great version of one of his best known hits. It really suits your voice. Did you put the backer together? It's excellent!

Cheers John, I did the backing with my keyboard, then the late Tony Jones added the guitar..

OTD bump for a great songcrafter doing a great version of a great pop hit...

listen to the last one posted on page 2 with Wiley's and TJ's adds!  great stuff Alex! 

the guitar solo is excellent and the backing vocals are wonderful for Alex's great voice

the keyboard is spot on gorgeous!
