-- Do you know who Leo Sayer is?

[Simply Red]

I was sitting in a room with about ten coworkers today, and discovered that only one of them know who Leo Sayer is. I was completely baffled. I kind of assumed everyone knew who he is. I didn't necessarily think they had to be fans of his or even familiar with his work, but I assumed that people at least know who he is.

Do I work with crazy people or is this the norm now?

When I was small this was the only song on our only radio station, there for awhile.

Leo Sayer is the thinking man's Morris Albert.

[Coochie liquor]

I always thought it was a woman singing that song...

[Spott]

Never heard of him, but he looks like he's related to Richard Simmons.

[stumppy]

Yes, now quit asking how old I am.

[alpha_omega]

[frozenchief]

Leo Sayer is someone who has never been in my kitchen!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

No.

[Bugeater]

Yes

[KS Smitty]

I know who he is but only because he was constantly blasted on my radio during the disco era, much like Neil Sedaka. I don't expect the general public to know him or TBH any of his songs. Although I can sing along with most of them.
