Leo Sayer is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter Leo Sayer (When I Need You, More Than I Can Say, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Sayer, a cultural icon
Born Gerard Hugh Sayer in Shoreham-by-Sea on May 21, 1948, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Sayer's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Leo hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Leo Sayer as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.
Happy Birthday, Leo, you're the best!
