After years of busking, and a stint as a songwriter for other acts, Sayer made a go of a singing career; his mix of winsome charm and melodic sophistication struck just the right tone with mid-70s pop audiences. His biggest hit in the U.S. was the '76 proto-disco confection "You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'," after which he enjoyed some further success and quietly became a symbol of mellow, Have A Nice Day-style pop. A late-'90s comeback proved moderately successful, especially in the U.K.

Uploaded on Sep 7, 2008 Leo Sayer has had success worldwide with his single and album releases, particularly in the UK and the U.S. He was initially discovered by David Courtney, who co-managed him with the singer-turned-manager, Adam Faith. 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 hit as a soloist in 1973. That same year, Sayer began his career as a recording artist. At the time of his initial chart breakthrough in Britain, with his debut hit "The Show Must Go On," he wore a pierrot style outfit and make-up.

He had subsequent single hits with "One Man Band" (1974), "Long Tall Glasses" (1975) and "Moonlighting" (1975). In 1976, Sayer released three Beatles songs, "I Am the Walrus", "Let It Be" and "The Long and Winding Road" in the movie All This and World War II. In 1977, he had a US number one with "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" (a U.S. Grammy Award winner for the year's best Rhythm and Blues Song), as well as the romantic ballad, "When I Need You" (1977), which reached number one in both the UK and U.S. Sayer also had remakes of Bobby Vee's Sonny Curtis/Jerry Allison composition, "More Than I Can Say" (his fourth UK number 2 hit, and in the U.S., number 2 pop and number one in the adult contemporary chart), and Buddy Holly's "Raining In My Heart" (1979) and "Orchard Road" in 1983.

In the U.S., three of his singles - "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" (1977), "When I Need You," (1977) and "More Than I Can Say" (1980) - were certified gold. Sayer made an appearance on The Muppet Show during the third season (second show) on which he sang "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," "The Show Must Go On," and "When I Need You." He also provided songs for the soundtrack for the English language version of the French-Belgian animated film, The Missing Link (1980).[citation needed] In 1990, he contributed to the last recording studio collaboration between Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson, Woolfson's solo album Freudiana, performing "I Am A Mirror"[1]. In 2000, "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" was featured in the hit film, Charlie's Angels, and was on the accompanying soundtrack album. Sayer's debut UK hit, "The Show Must Go On," was covered by Three Dog Night for the U.S. market and reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974.

Phil Collins covered Sayer's Billy Nichols' song "I Can't Stop Loving You" (originally a U.K. No.6 hit for Sayer) for his 2002 album, Testify. It reached number one on the U.S. adult contemporary chart. In 2005, Sayer moved to Sydney, Australia, where he remains based to this day. On 12 February 2006, made a surprise return to number one in the UK Singles Chart, with Meck's remix of "Thunder In My Heart." He has also appeared in the Australian comedy, Stupid, Stupid Man. Leo Sayer: At His Very Best, a career spanning compilation album, was released in the UK on 6 March 2006. It exclusively features the Meck single, alongside Sayer classics such as, "When I Need You" and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing".

Above are LEO SAYER (main picture), with BONO, PETE DOHERTY, LADY THATCHER and ARJEN ROBBEN . LEO SAYER Back on top after being Down Under, Leo Sayer's career is enjoying a new lease of life as a re-mix of his 1970s single, Thunder in My Heart, storms the charts. "I'm back quicker than a returning boomerang," quipped Sayer. It was only seven months ago that he and his partner and manager, Donatella Piccinetti, moved to Australia, feeling that his talents would be better appreciated there. It was when he and Donatella were packing to leave their ï¿½1m Buckinghamshire home to take up residence more than 12,000 miles away that they got a call from Los Angeles. A DJ named Craig Dimech, better known as Meck, had found a 12-inch record of Sayer's Thunder in My Heart in an LA discount store and wanted permission to give it the dance mix treatment. Sayer sent him the tape and back came the re-mix of the song written by Sayer that reached a modest No.

22 in the British charts in 1977. "He's changed it around completely, yet kept all of its integrity," says Sayer. "I keep listening, trying to find something wrong with it ï¿½ and I can't find a damn thing wrong." Guilty pleasure Neither, it seems, can top DJs including Fatboy Slim and Pete Tong, who was playing the re-mix regularly on his BBC Radio 1 show long before its official release in the past week. His fellow DJ Jo Whiley describes the track as "a true guilty pleasure". Not that anyone initially envisaged Leo Sayer playing a significant part in its promotion. "They said I'd be the kiss of death ï¿½ all those DJs wouldn't touch the bloody thing with a bargepole." Leo Sayer had 14 British Top 30 hits in the 70s and 80s, including You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, which topped America's Billboard chart, while When I Need You was a No.1 on both sides of the Atlantic.

Sayer on his 1970s TV show, Leo Sayer (Sounds like Friday) To this day Sayer attributes "the finding of his voice" to the parish priest who inducted him into the choir at Shoreham-by-Sea on the Sussex coast. In his teens, he abandoned his art and design course, soon added singing and song-writing to his harmonica-playing and, in his early 20s, gained a manager, Adam Faith, through Sayer's song-writing partner, David Courtney, who once played drums with Faith. Inspired by Sayer's great mane of curls, Adam Faith's wife came up with a new name for Gerry Sayer, as he then was, calling him Leo, after the lion. And record deals ï¿½ and hits - in the UK and America followed, along with his own show on BBC television. Campaign But by the mid-80s, the hits were drying up. Leo Sayer split up with his wife Janice, his manager, Adam Faith, and his record company, Chrysalis.

He sued Faith, settling out of court for a reported ï¿½650,000 and, helped by his new manager, Donatella, embarked on a legal battle with Chrysalis Records to regain control of the publishing rights to his songs. Leo Sayer's revival started in 1997 after two journalists from the Sun were excited by his performance at the Cafï¿½ Royal in London. Their newspaper put its weight behind a campaign to promote Sayer and the little man with the big hair who'd once appeared on stage in a Pierrot's outfit and face paint, became chic at university gigs. Sayer returned to successful tours of the United States and Australia, but still felt under-valued in Britain. Now, though, Britain's seeing much more of him. Well, there is much more of him; at 11 stone, he's 42 pounds heavier than in his heyday. "When I was dressed as a clown in all that make-up I used to shed pounds every night and got agonising kidney stones because I was sweating so much." At 57, he and Donatella won't be moving back to Britain.

Australia's given him a "special talent" visa and the couple love their villa with a view of Sydney harbour. But just as a Peter Kay video of Amarillo showed Tony Christie the way to a new career, so DJ Meck had made Leo Sayer Feel Like Dancing again. Swapping some of the Australian summer for British winter may be a shock to his system, but Sayer says that in career terms, it's great being "cool again". BONO "If you think this is going to go to our head, it's too late," joked U2's Bono, as the Irish band won all five awards for which they were nominated at the Grammys ceremony in Los Angeles. It was a triumph for oldies over youth, as the veterans beat rap star Kanye West and newcomer John Legend, along with pop diva Mariah Carey, who all missed out on five of their eight nominations. More details PETE DOHERTY Pete Doherty ensured his continued appearances in the tabloid pages by avoiding a jail term for seven offences of possessing illegal substances. The 26-year-old Babyshambles singer had been held in custody since his arrest more than two weeks ago.

But magistrates at Ealing in west London freed him under a 12-month community order which will oblige him to take part in a drug rehab programme. More details LADY THATCHER Maggie the musical. Well, if Evita Peron's story had audiences spellbound, why not sing about Margaret Thatcher, the grocer's daughter who became the Iron Lady of international politics? The all-female Foursight Theatre featured nine Maggies, from Twinset Maggie to Broken Maggie, in their production at the Warwick Arts Centre, which now sets out on a national tour. But it seems Lady Thatcher isn't planning to see the show. More details ARJEN ROBBEN A sublime goal by Chelsea's Arjen Robben in his team's FA Cup dismissal of Everton won't have erased the memory of his antics a few days earlier when Chelsea virtually crushed Liverpool's slim hopes of taking the Premiership title. A red card was almost guaranteed when Liverpool 'keeper Reina gave the Dutch winger's face a gentle push, but Robben's action in flinging himself to the ground was condemned as "disgraceful" by BBC Sport columnist Alan Hansen.

Record-Breakers and Trivia - everyHit.com Back To The 'Records & Trivia' Index Most Number 1s This, possibly the most important record, is held by Elvis Presley. He has had 21 chart-toppers, 18 of them different songs (three titles have topped the chart on two distinctly separate chart runs as part of the series of re-issues to commemorate what would have been Elvis' 70th birthday in 2005). You can see how this record has 'changed hands' over the years here . The Beatles are the top group with 17 number 1s. Madonna is the top woman with 13 (as of April 2008). Top female group is The Spice Girls with 9. Only seven acts in chart history have got into double figures with their tally of chart-toppers.

They are: Elvis Presley (21, 18 different songs), The Beatles (17), Cliff Richard (14 : six of them with The Shadows, one with The Drifters, one with The Young Ones), Westlife (14 : one of them with Mariah Carey), Madonna (13), The Shadows (11 : six of them with Cliff Richard, two of these also with The Norrie Paramor Strings) and Take That (11: one featuring Lulu). Westlife hold the record for getting into double-figures in the shortest time (2 years and 10 months [ie. 149 weeks] - more than 3 months quicker than The Beatles (who took 165 weeks). Unlike Westlife, however, The Beatles tended to spend several weeks at the summit, slowing down their release rate.) It is worth pointing out that Paul McCartney has appeared on more Number 1s than any other artist under a diverse range of credits.

He has, in fact, appeared on 24 Number 1s; solo (1), with Wings (1), Stevie Wonder, The Christians et al (1), Ferry Aid (1), Band Aid (1), Band Aid 20 (1) and The Beatles (17). In total, twenty-one artists have appeared on ten or more number one singles. They are: Paul McCartney (24), Elvis Presley (21), John Lennon (20), George Harrison (18), Ringo Starr (16), Cliff Richard (15), Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan (14), Robbie Williams, Madonna (13), Gary Barlow, Brian McFadden (12), Mel C , Geri Halliwell (11), Mel B, Emma Bunton, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen (10). Artist with Most Weeks at Number 1 It's Elvis Presley. He has topped the chart for a total of 80 weeks (as of w/e 5th Feb 2005). Top group is The Beatles (69 weeks).

Top female performer is Madonna (29 weeks - as of w/e 17th May 2008). In his many different manifestations, however, Paul McCartney has spent 93 weeks at the top. Most Consecutive Number 1s 7 - by The Beatles and Westlife. The Beatles' stretch began with "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964 and lasted to "Yellow Submarine"/"Eleanor Rigby" in 1966. The run was broken when "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" merely made the number 2 position the following year! Westlife's stint began with their debut, "Swear it Again" in 1999 and ran through to "My Love" in November 2000 (though one hit was a 'duet' with Mariah Carey). It was broken by "What Makes A Man" which peaked at number 2 the following month. Beatles fans are, however, quick to point out that "Ain't She Sweet" (which made number 29 in 1964) was recorded in 1961, well before their EMI contract.

It was issued by Polydor to 'cash in' on the success of the fab four. Fans argue that this was not an "official" Beatles release. If this logic is accepted (though the track did make the charts), The Beatles run of successive number ones begins with "From Me To You" in April 1963 - making a total of 11. Top female group is The Spice Girls (6 in a row from "Wannabe" through to "Too Much"). Longest Span of Number 1 Singles 47 years, 6 months and 23 days. Held by Elvis Presley. His first number 1 was "All Shook Up" in 1957 (w/e 13th June). His most recent chart-topper was the re-issue of "It's Now Or Never" in 2005 (w/e 5th Feb). Runner up is Cliff Richard. His first chart-topper was "Living Doll" in 1959. His latest was "The Millennium Prayer" in 1999, a span of 40, 4 months and 15 days. (+ 21 days for total span).

Longest span for a female artist with solo credit is Madonna on 20 Years, 7 Months, 1 Day (from "Into The Groove", 3rd Aug 1985 to "Sorry", 4th March 2006 - ie. a total span of 1074 weeks). [NB: if we include "4 Minutes" - which also credited Justin Timberlake, the span runs through to 10th May 2008 (22 years, 9 Months, 13 Days) but then this record is broken by Cher - see below.] Kyie Minogue is still both popular and productive and, on 15 Years, 9 Months, and 23 Days (ie. 825 weeks from "I Should Be So Lucky", 23rd Jan 1988 to "Slow"; 15th Nov 2003), regularly poses a threat to Madonna in this regard. If we allow 'credits' on singles rather than solo performances, Cher easily takes the record.

Her duet with Sony, "I Got You Babe" (Aug 1965) to "Believe" (Oct-Dec 1998) gives a total span of 33 years, 3 months, and 14 days [ie. 1738 weeks]. Also worthy of a mention is Tammy Wynette. Her single "Stand By Your Man" made no. 1 in 1975. She was a guest vocalist on the 'various artists' single "Perfect Day" which topped the chart in 1997-8 (22 Years, 7 Months, 24 Days - ie. 1183 weeks). Diana Ross, though not individually credited, provided vocals on the Supremes 1964 chart-topper "Baby Love". She most recently had a solo no. 1 with "Chain Reaction" in 1986 (21 Years, 4 Months, 1 Day - or 1114 weeks - total span).

First Artist To Enter At Number 1 Al Martino's "Here In My Heart" was the track to Top the first ever chart (Nov 1952) so, technically, this was the first track to debut at Number 1. But ignoring this, the first artist to enter at Number 1 in the established chart was Elvis Presley ("Jailhouse Rock", Jan 1958). First Artist To Enter At Number 1 With Consecutive Releases Slade. In 1973 they debuted at the top with both "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Skweeze Me Pleeze Me." Fastest Hat-Trick of Number 1s A one-a-week series of re-issued Elvis Presley singles in 2005 enabled him to have three different chart-toppers in just four weeks; ("Jailhouse Rock" w/e 15th Jan; "One Night" / "I Got Stung" w/e 22nd Jan; "It's Now Or Never" w/e 5th Feb). The record for the fastest hat-trick of non re-issued number ones is held by John Lennon.

Following his death in December 1980, there was an almost frenzied buying of his singles. This resulted in him topping the chart no fewer than three times within an 8 week period ["(Just Like) Starting Over" w/e 20th Dec 1980; "Imagine" (a re-entry but nevertheless, not a re-issue, w/e 10th Jan 1981; "Woman" w/e 7th Feb 1981.] First Artist To Enter At Number 1 With A Hat-Trick of Consecutive Releases Take That. In fact, from July 1993 to April 1994, all four of their single releases went straight in at No.1 ("Pray", "Relight My Fire" [featuring Lulu], "Babe", "Everything Changes"). The band repeated this feat in the period from Oct 1994 to March 1996. Most Entries at Number 1 From May 1999 to November 2006, Westlife entered the chart at No. 1 on 14 occasions.

First Entry At Number 1 By A Debuting Act Excluding Al Martino, who was No. 1 in the first ever chart, Billy Preston was the first artist to enter at No. 1 with a debut single. To be fair, he performed the song ("Get Back," 1969) with The Beatles and so, quite literally, can't claim the entire credit for this feat. The Band Aid charity ensemble made its debut at No. 1 ("Do They Know It's Christmas?", 1984) but this comprised a number of already successful artistes. The first act to make its chart debut at No. 1 on its own 'merit' was the Danish vocalist Whigfield (1994). Her song "Saturday Night" (with its associated dance) had been huge on the continent for some months and the demand from Brits returning home built up an enormous head of steam prior to its release. First British act to debut at No. 1 was Robson & Jerome ("Unchained Melody" / "White Cliffs Of Dover", 1995). First solo male to debut at No.

1 was Babylon Zoo (a name used by British vocalist/multi-instrumentalist, Jas Mann) with "Spaceman" (1996). First British female act to make her debut at No. 1 was Billie ("Because We Want To", 1998). First all-girl group to make their chart debut at No. 1 was the Irish quartet B*Witched (with "C'est La Vie") in 1998. First British all-girl group to make its debut at No. 1 was Girls Aloud ("Sound Of The Underground", 2002). Most Entries at Number 1 by a Debuting Act On 11 Nov 2000, Westlife became the first act to have their first seven singles enter the chart at Number 1 as "My Love" crashed in at the top spot. First Act To Reach Number 1 With Their First Three Releases Gerry And The Pacemakers. Their debut single, "How Do You Do It?" was released in March 1963. After five weeks it made number 1.

It was followed later that year by "I Like It" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" (both topped the charts four weeks after first appearing in the Top 40). This feat was not matched until 21 years later when Frankie Goes To Hollwood took each of their first three singles to the top (1984).

Self-Replacement At Number One On nine occasions in history, one title by an act has knocked another hit, by the same act, off the number one spot: Ray Conniff and his Orchestra (Jan 1957) "Just Walking In The Rain" replaced by "Singing The Blues." Norrie Paramor and the string section of his orchestra (Mar 1963) - "The Wayward Wind" was replaced by "Summer Holiday." The Shadows (Aug 1960) "Please Don't Tease" knocked off the top spot by "Apache." The Shadows (Jan 1963) "The Next Time" / "Bachelor Boy" replaced by "Dance On!" The Shadows (Mar 1963) "Summer Holiday" replaced by "Foot Tapper." The Shadows (Apr 1963) "Foot Tapper" replaced by "Summer Holiday." The Beatles (Dec 1963) "She Loves You" replaced by "I Want To Hold Your Hand." John Lennon (Feb 1981) "Imagine" replaced by "Woman." Elvis Presley (Jan 2005) "Jailhouse Rock" replaced by "One Night"

 / "I Got Stung." NB: Full credits: -"Just Walking In The Rain" - Johnnie Ray, Ray Conniff and his Orchestra / "Singing The Blues" - Guy Mitchell, Ray Conniff and his Orchestra.

- "The Wayward Wind" - Frank Ifield, with Norrie Paramor and his Orchestra / "Summer Holiday" - Cliff Richard, The Shadows and the Norrie Paramor Strings. - "Please Don't Tease", "The Next Time" / "Bachelor Boy" and "Summer Holiday" were credited to Cliff Richard and The Shadows. Longest Gap Between Number 1s 31 years 0 months - for George Harrison. "My Sweet Lord" first made the top spot in Jan 1971. A few weeks after his death, it returned to number 1 (Jan 2002). In second place is the artist who also holds the record for the longest gap between number 1s with different tracks and the record for longest gap between number 1s within the lifetime of the artist; Leo Sayer. In Feb 1977 he hit the top with "When I Need You". He didn't return until Feb 2006 (a day shy of 29 years gap) - with "Thunder In My Heart Again" (a remix of his 1977 hit, as 'Meck featuring Leo Sayer').

The longest run between original number 1s (i.e not a re-release/remix) is 18 years and 3 months for Blondie (Nov 1980, "The Tide is High", to Feb 1999, "Maria"). Biggest run for a female artist is 14 years 6 months by Diana Ross - from the prophetic "I'm Still Waiting" (Sep 1971) til "Chain Reaction" (Mar 1986). Special mention must be made here of Stevie Winwood. Though not specifically credited, he hit number 1 with The Spencer Davis Group ("Somebody Help Me") in Apr 1966. A barren period then followed before a sample of his solo hit "Valerie" formed the basis of Eric Prydz's chart-topper "Call On Me" in Sep 2004; an hiatus of 38 years and 5 months between appearances, albeit uncredited, at number 1. Longest Time For An Artist To Get To Number 1 34 Years, 10 Months, and 2 Days; Tony Christie.

His first single, "Las Vegas", entered the Top 40 on w/e 16th Jan 1971, peaking at no. 21. His single from November of that year, "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo" was used in 2005 by comedian Peter Kaye in various TV performances, ultimately leading to a re-release in aid of Comic Relief. That catapulted the track back into the chart - at no. 1 - on w/e 26th Mar 2005. This broke the record set over 18 years previously by Jackie Wilson. His "Reet Petite (The Sweetest Girl In Town)" topped the chart in Dec 1986; 29 Years, 1 Month, and 11 Days after it first entered the chart. The longest time for a female soloist to take to reach Number 1 is 25 Years, 8 Months and 15 Days for Cher [from her first solo hit, "All I Really Want To Do", 19th Aug 1965 to "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)", 4th May 1991].

She had, though, previously topped the chart as half of Sonny and Cher before going solo. In terms of contributing to a Number 1: Ozzy Osbourne holds the male record. He first hit the Top 40 as a member of Black Sabbath with "Paranoid" on w/e 12th Sep 1970. 33 years, 3 months and 8 days later (w/e 20th Dec 2003; a total of 1736 weeks) he achieved the top spot with "Changes" (a duet with daughter Kelly - and a version of a Black Sabbath album track from 1972). The previous record holder was Eric Clapton. He first hit the chart as a member of the Yardbirds in 1965 ("For Your Love", w/e 20th Mar 1965) but did not form part of a chart-topping combo until hit collaboration with Cher (her again!), Chrissie Hynde and Neneh Cherry ("Love Can Build A Bridge", w/e 25 Mar 1995); 30 years, 0 months and 5 days [1567 weeks].

Lulu holds the female record. Her first Top 40 hit was "Shout" (w/e 16th May 1964). She finally hit the top spot with Take That ("Relight My Fire", 9th Oct, 1993); 29 Years, 4 Months and 23 Days.

Sayer was a top singles and album act on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s.

His first seven hit singles in the United Kingdom all reached the Top 10 ï¿½ a feat first registered by his one-time manager, Adam Faith. Contents 6 External links Early life Sayer was born on 21 May 1948 to an Irish mother and English father in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, England. He was initially discovered by musician David Courtney, who then co-managed him with the singer turned manager, Adam Faith. In January 1967, while 18-year old Sayer was working as a hall porter at the King's Hotel in Hove, he assisted in the rescue of guests from a fire that damaged the first floor of the hotel. He was rescued by builders working on a block of flats beside the hotel. Career 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 hit without The Who in 1973. That same year, Sayer began his career as a recording artist.

At the time of his initial chart breakthrough in the UK, with his second single "The Show Must Go On", he wore a pierrot style costume and make-up and the song went quickly to number two. He had several subsequent single hits including, "One Man Band" (1974), "Long Tall Glasses" (1974) and "Moonlighting" (1975). In 1976, Sayer recorded three Beatles songs, "I Am the Walrus", "Let It Be" and "The Long and Winding Road" for the film, All This and World War II. In 1977, he had a US number one with "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" (a Grammy Award winner for the year's best Rhythm and Blues Song), as well as the romantic ballad, "When I Need You" (1977), which reached number one in both the UK and US. Written by Albert Hammond and Carole Bayer Sager, it was Sayer's first UK chart-topper (after three number two hits) and his second successive US number one. It was also the first of two UK chart-toppers in a row for producer Richard Perry.

Sayer also made cover versions of Bobby Vee's Sonny Curtis/Jerry Allison composition, "More Than I Can Say" (his fourth UK number 2 hit and US number 2), and Buddy Holly's "Raining in My Heart" (1979) and "Orchard Road" in 1983. In the US, three of his singles - "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" (1977), "When I Need You" (1977) and "More Than I Can Say" (1980) - were certified gold.[citation needed] Sayer provided songs for the soundtrack of the French-Belgian animated film, Le Chainon manquant in 1980. In 1981 he was the voice of Dan the forest ranger in The Raccoons on Ice, the second of four specials serving as a predecessor to the Canadian animated series The Raccoons.

He also sang several songs for the special, all of which were included on the 1983 album Lake Freeze.[citation needed] In 1990, he contributed to the last studio collaboration between Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson, Woolfson's solo album Freudiana, performing "I Am A Mirror". Sayer performed at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1990, with "The Moth And The Flame" (English version of "Tu... sï¿½" by Mango) and, in 1991, with "All Alone" (English version of "Dubbi No" by Mietta). On 12 February 2006, he made a surprise return to number one in the UK Singles Chart, with Meck's remix of "Thunder In My Heart". It was his first appearance in the UK Top 10 for almost 24 years, and his second UK chart-topper, almost three decades after his first.[citation needed] Leo Sayer: At His Very Best, a career-spanning compilation album, was released in the UK on 6 March 2006.

It featured the Meck single, alongside "When I Need You" and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". In 2008, Sayer released a new album in Australia, Don't Wait Until Tomorrow. This album, produced by Garth Porter (from the Australian pop band Sherbet), and released by Universal Music Australia, featured selections from his catalog in an entirely new setting, re-arranged with strings and acoustic and jazz instrumentation.[citation needed] In January 2009, Sayer became an Australian citizen, having lived in Sydney, New South Wales since 2005. Sayer has appeared in various TV shows including The Muppet Show (1978's Episode 3.02 on which he sang "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing", "The Show Must Go On", and "When I Need You"); The Wiggles 2008 DVD, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, which featured Sayer's hit of the same name; Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2007; and the Australian television comedy, Stupid, Stupid Man.

In the episode "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses" of the television series The Simpsons, a character mentions Sayer as being another singer he likes, after Elvis Presley.

Customer Reviews Ministry of Sound Australia HOME :: ARTISTS :: Meck Meck Meck (real name Craig Dimech) is a UK based DJ/Producer who as been part of British dance scene since the early 90’s. Firstly as a DJ, then as a record label boss and now a producer. After running labels like Incentive and now Free2Air, Meck has a complete understanding of the right ingredients that make a track a commercial success. This was evident in his 2006 reworking of the classic Leo Sayer record ‘Thunder In My Heart’ which was renamed ‘Thunder In My Heart Again’. This release spent two weeks at the #1 position on the UK singles chart and firmly placed the name Meck on the international music’s roster of stars.

Meck’s follow up single ‘Feels Like Home’ (which featured the vocals of Dino Lenny) was once again an example of the depth of Dimech’s musical heritage as he this time drew upon a classic 90’s rave record in Felix’s ‘Don’t You Want Me’ (which featured on Ministry of Sound Sessions Four). After the success of ‘Feels Like Home’, Meck once again sampled a 90’s record on ‘So Strong’ (which features on Ministry of Sound Sessions Five). Dimech sampled the classic OT Quartet (which was Rollo of Faithless fame and Aussie Rob Dougan of ‘Clubbed to Death fame) record ‘Hold That Sucker Down’. Ministry of Sound Australia Opened in 1991, Ministry of Sound was one of the key locations in the development of house music and super-clubs in Britain in the early 90s. © 2014 Ministry of Sound Australia
