Gerard Hugh “Leo” Sayer, an English-Australian singer-songwriter, musician, and entertainer, was born on May 21, 1948. His singing career has lasted for five decades. He has lived in Australia since 2009 and holds citizenship there.
Early in the 1970s, Sayer began his career in the United Kingdom, and throughout the decade, he rose to the top of the singles and album charts on both sides of the Atlantic. His original manager, Adam Faith, accomplished this accomplishment when all seven of his UK Top 10 hit singles made it there. Other well-known performers who have performed his songs include Cliff Richard (“Dreaming”), Roger Daltrey, and Three Dog Night.
