Endless Flight - LEO SAYER***

Hold On To My Love/You Make Me Feel Like Dancing/Reflections/When I Need You/No Business Live Love Business/I Hear The Laughter/Magdalena/How Much Love/I Think We Fell In Love Too Fast/Endless Flight

Singer songwriter Leo Sayer built his reputation on quirky off beat songs. However, by the time of Endless Flight he had joined the musical mainstream to considerable commercial success. Features the No. 1 hits You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and When I Need You. (US:10 UK:4)

“If you're looking for intelligent pop music, you won't find it here. It's mindless, simplistic seventies cornball rock & roll. There was not a parent on the planet that would have complained about their kids listening to Leo Sayer.”

Endless Flight is a well-produced package, where every song is memorable. It is the kind of album that you pull out of your collection to listen to in its entirety. Each song compliments the next. There is no filler on this collection.”

“Leo Sayer's deservedly blockbuster chart-topping album features three massive top twenty hits, including two number ones for both sides of the Atlantic, each being different. He has a reputation of doing various covers of classics to fill gaps on his albums, but these were not always a great idea. However, his rendition of The Supremes' smash Reflections is fantastic and deserves much praise.”

“The two number one hits, the catchy You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, and When I Need You, are essential career components that sound great years later. How Much Love on side two was the third chart single.”

“If you're looking for a good representation of slick, catchy, state-of-the-art mid 70's AM pop/rock, then this release will do it for you.”
