LEO SAYER-When I Need You

[Tacomadome24]

I still think this is one of the most heartfelt, prettiest ( yes I said it ) love songs of all time.

[kazeet456]

Hey, I didn't know Richard Simmons sang this!?

[dingo397]

I used to go to the record store, and stare at this album cover till mom said we had to go. I. loved his songs.......

[arianbatty]

17 years old when this was out and now near 52 how the years go and how i have wasted them. Never forgot the song fora reason i wish i could go back to.

[joleblonde]

Wow!...I just discovered that this was number one the day I was born...my daughter was born three weeks ago: I wonder if she will look back in 34 years and go "wow"......I suspect she won't, poor child!

[raycasta10]

Why before artist can sing so good live but now few only can

[ChromaQueen]

Lovely. Listen to what pre-dated this, another beauty. Leonard Cohen "Famous blue raincoat"

[jorgenvermeer]

when i need love i touch her

[cbsjazz]

great song

[frostdepth]

When I hear this im thinking about my girlfriend who lives in Florida, I live in The Netherlands..

Everytime I close my eyes im with you..

[NWCYCLE]

@frostdepth

Thats odd, I think of her too......

[ScottJayNY2011]

aWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Leo baby. I would drop my draws for Leo. He really could write a tune. And (pretty much) sing it too.

[tominmilton]

@ScottJayNY2011 - he's not my type, but I do like the way you think :-)

[laurapru831]

Great song great memories

[MsRochic]

soon my dear!!!

[irock1101]

If you listen to this after a break up, you may want to die.

[04mosroc]

jr. high dance,nice

[MrWhy2009]

Ach es ist zu schön, eines der schönsten Lieder von Leo Sayer. Aber keiner hört meinen Schrei nach Liebe, die letzte in die ich so sehr verliebt war, sie habe ich so sehr verletzt! Warum ist das Leben so ungerecht? Why? :-(

Oh it's too good, one of the most beautiful songs of Leo Sayer. But no one hears my cry for love, the last in which I was so very in love, I'm so hurt them very much! Why is life so unfair? :-(

[at90percent]

No romantic feelings for me with this song. This was my driver's ed song.

I just remember it playing on the radio of the crummy driver's ed cars AM radio.

Sometime in 1977.

[BAMABELLA71]

@at90percent LOOOOL!! :)

[at90percent]

@at90percent Oh yeah, the line, it's not easy when the road is your driver. That's also why I associate it with driver's ed.

[jtheaceman]

This was back when people had to actually SING the songs!! Great song!

[mollysangelique]

baby jy werkt na 5 denk ik heb je tyd weet niet niet duidelyk ik hoop ik zie je want ik kan jou geven wat je nodig hebt samen is het warm in elkaars compagny jy zei tyme ik zeg altyd ok ik weet niet when you need me by your side t,is gezelliger ik loop alleen zonder jou

[MarkRikso15]

I was born in1977!

[crazylpn1]

@MarkRikso15 Whoa! I was born in 68!

[PcolaSteve4234]

I remember dancing to this song with my girlfriend Kris, in high school. She's long gone, moved on but not forgotten. I hadn't tought of this song until this morning. I am glad I found it.

[MissCat1958]

This was my all time favorite when I was a teen in the 70's. Finally found the man who makes me feel everything this song is about. Had to wait until I was nearly 50 to find him but it was worth the wait!

[trifulquita15]

this song makes me sick but in a romantic way, when i was 15 can't heard it without feeling sooooo sad

[Muffett53]

I sure loved watching Midnight Special. This was better than the vid channels of today. OH...do the video channels show videos now? HA...rarely. They forgot what their purpose was. One of the many great artists then.

[kevin270277]

No. 1 in the UK charts on the day I was born :-)

[best11228]

I Just Close My Eyes.... And I'm With You....

[CrystalsButtcheeks]

great songg c:

[Prendify]

Finally a 70's video where the artist is actually singing.

[MrSecureT]

Ah, junior year. . . .

[Joymw54]

After all these years, I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. Amazing!

[jp3923]

Whata beautiful and courageous story! Are you and Samantha still together?

[Themadfarter1976]

Good music.

[TheNEK1995]

Classic...xc

[vikki73]

[chrysthyne25]

Thumbs up if your watching this on 2061!

[nstygatr]

Is it just me or does he look just like the kid from Fast times at Ridgemont High?

You know the kid who works at the movie theatre in the end/// IT'S HIM!!!

[4paula73]

great memories of my dad singing this to my mom......

[thecolaratlady]

@4paula73 , aww how sweet. my daddy used to call my mom his lil powder puff, shame things went so wrong between them and everything else.when he got sick and then killed himself

[thecolaratlady]

@thecolaratlady then.. not when..boy i'm more tired then i think prolly

[43lochness]

[elsonixk]

Si me amaras - andres de leon

[adomontero]

great song....timeless

[pinkxeno]

for ever

[pinkxeno]

xcddc

[riclagriclag]

My first song on Youtube. I don't know what else to say. Listen !!!

[dadsweazer47]

OMG I loved this song when I was a teenager!!! 

[crumbleerf]

I saw Leo in concert in Stoke on Trent in the 70's. He and his band blew us away. One of the best live performers I've seen. Barry White is the only one who probably beats him.

[VIRIATO1942]

This song brings me back to happier days in my life. A great unforgetable performance by Leo Sauyer that touches me deeply.

[mkSNAKEninja]

Someone with a flamethrower burnt my cat to death. I am so distraught but this song really cheered me up. THumbs up if you love this song and hate animal cruelity.

[krishnaramadas]

@mkSNAKEninja EVIL BASTARDS......how could anyone hurt an animal... it makes me so sick...we live in an evil and cruel world where people hurt animals and children it is so sad...GOD will someday take away all the pain and evil will be no more..i have to believe that or i would go crazy.......i am so sorry for your cat...

[lovelylovableloved]

@mkSNAKEninja I'm sorry for your loss, I hope they find whoever did it

[thecolaratlady]

@mkSNAKEninja Oh sweetie,i'm so sorry to hear that,have they been found?it's a damn shame animal cruelty isnt taken as serious as it should be1 of our dogs is a rescue,the story we were told was that she was being abused in an attempt to make her mean,they let her get preggers,the sob's killed some of her pups infront of her in an attempt to make her mean.we got her fathers day weekend.if i ever come across that personit wont be pretty,this poor dog is afraid of her own shadow now

[thecolaratlady]

@thecolaratlady i told the military family we got her from that i WOULD HAVE SHOT HIS ASS.They told us she has that micro chip thingy,i need to go to the spca or somewhere,have any info on her chip changed,i dunno how those things work,and I DO want the name of that person,they will be getting a visit from me and my glock .45,no telling how many litters she had,but her teets are still in nursing size, know what i mean? i was told that she may have had numerous litters

[nahover]

@mkSNAKEninja OMG thats AWFUL!!! You poor thing!! :*( what kind of monster would do such a thing??? I'm so sorry...

[BossLadyWhite]

@mkSNAKEninja wth? ppl have issues!

[Stoner075B]

@mkSNAKEninja I hope the someone gets what's coming to him. I'm sorry for you and yer cat.

[smfbiz]

What a great performance .. feelings ohhhh....

[Tinmar023]

What a beautiful song :-)

[zedhed1982]

Its sad that I loved this forever..until the one program I never watched...Big Brother.The Guy is a Twat.Shame

[jafaratwi]

Are brilliant singer and song - I sang along watching this brilliant video and are it brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat again.

[malarbusto]

Ban playback. I'm no big Leo Sayer fan but andybody doing it real and doing it well is better than ANYbody doing lip synch and playback (whatever that is supposed to be for). This is just great.

[CowAnne]

hahaha the last time I heard this was in 1977

[choco4hire]

This is when musicians could play live with no back tracks. So much Talent!

[tbagggerz]

wow in 1977 my brother michael and i won a local talent show with this song .great memories

[lukafafrenz]

i guess not all geeks worked for microsoft -- this guy makes thomas dolby look like jim morrison

[Cmr4brandy]

To linda, from Mike.

[rbkpetroleo]

I love this song, especially when Leo sings, every note has meaning in every gesture and something that I appreciate tremendously in a singer ...... is that vocalize well and he does great!

[bodella7]

Miss you everyday... I am sorry for everything that happened... But you will never know that will you??? The love of my life forever gone...

[WOTM4ME]

@bodella7  AMEN!!!!!!!!!

[jp3923]

@bodella7 Don't ever say forever. She may surprise you. Anyone who feels such love as yours cannot be forgotten!

[vikki73]

[thecolaratlady]

@novaturbkkk Thank you sweetie

[novaturbkkk]

@thecolaratlady perfection right there

[krishnaramadas]

@thecolaratlady that is so sweet my daughter has been with the same boy since she was 15 now she is 27 they are still together.......

[grayaj23]

@thecolaratlady that is awesome. I'm 46 and I think of the late 70's as being the best pop music of all time, and 1976/77 is the sweet spot. This song makes me feel like a teenager. My wife is 38, so she doens't remember this stuff like I do.

[thecolaratlady]

@grayaj23 thank you.oh yes,i was a tween and used to go skating,listen to all kinds of music.on sat nights i think it was,they had disco night,with the big ball thingy,i'd skate with my friends until around 11, thats when Daddy would come get me,tell me i had to call it night.and i was tired anyway with all the skating i did,i couldnt do all the fancy skating,couldnt even skate backwards but i had alot of fun with friends,music,snack money daddy would give me for drinks,candybar or w/e

[thecolaratlady]

@thecolaratlady and here i am, 44 yrs old, and remember all that soo fondly. and miss daddy terribly

[froggy43145]

@thecolaratlady , THAT IS AWSOME, I MET MINE IN 1984, i'm 42, AND STILL WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. WE'RE THE HAPPIEST COUPLE LIKE YOU ARE.... THANKS

[thecolaratlady]

@froggy43145 THANK YOU

[xunil3]

@froggy43145 NOT SURE IF SHOUTING, CLUELESS OR JUST TROLL

[WineRedX]

@thecolaratlady God bless you and your Husband :) .

[thecolaratlady]

@WineRedX THANK YOU

[kocnn]

@thecolaratlady that's really cool, that takes work by both people, and people that haven't been in any kind of lasting relationship thinks it is easy!!! its easier to screw around, it is harder and easier to love and be with one person for a long time 24 years for wife and I, and i would not trade it for any piece of ass, I can shop for her better than she can, just sayin

[kocnn]

@thecolaratlady love it,

[jp3923]

@thecolaratlady A beautiful love story of two people who are fnishing the race together!

You are to be commended.....you are a protected species..not many of you are left!

[thecolaratlady]

@jp3923 Sadly no. we have been through more shit in our 27 yrs then most ppl wont see in several lifetimes.ppl have eaten bullets for less then what we have been through.we stand together,not against,pick your battles.not everything is worth getting into a knockdown drag out over. keep family and friends OUT OF YOUR MARRIAGE and FAMILY. Family, friends, money issues will tear up a marriage faster then anything else. work with each other, stand together,not against.respect each other.

[thecolaratlady]

@thecolaratlady dont insult, talk down to each other..a marriage is an EQUAL partnership.Dont act a fool around friends, family and laugh, tell about your spouses bad habits, quirks etc..none of us are perfect..the one throwing stones is not perfect.ttue love is not insulting, embaressing your spouse...........walking away from friends, family that are harsh on your spouse..........earplugs are a godsend!

[thecolaratlady]

@thecolaratlady Place each other on a pedastool, honor, respect, love 1 another.kids will grow up, move out on their own 1 day,be prepared to stand together against your kids IF need be. have mutual agreements on how to raise kids, dont do the " well mom said i could", it took 2 to make them, it takes both to raise them and set agreements on w/e situation may come up. lets face it..kids can be a big pita and end up having mom and dad fighting.

[jp3923]

@thecolaratlady Good advice for all! 

[thecolaratlady]

@jp3923 thank you, i hope it helps alot of couples

[jeff62rey]

"I never knew there was so much love..' Mom and I left Ohio on a cold February Tuesday night in 1978 after the final straw with my abusive Father. He had come home drunk again after work, angry, aggressive and gunning for both my Mother and I. We left, $40 in hand, suitcases packed and headed to Florida for a new start. I entered my new Junior High petrified, lonely, and unsure, but Samantha smiled at me in First hour, and that smile turned into firm friendship, followed by love and hope.

[1961gj]

@jeff62rey i've been there! I went to a childrens home when I was 8, because of my abusive father. Thank God your safe and happy now!

[thecolaratlady]

@1961gj i'm so glad you are happy now as well :)

[thecolaratlady]

@jeff62rey aww, that's that's gr8 you overcame that and can smile, found love..i'm so happy for you

[thecolaratlady]

@thecolaratlady my husband tried to abuse me yrs ago, after he had cleaned up enough blood from me breaking his nose a few times he stopped, i told him we can either live in peace or he lives in pieces, was his choice. and he knew i wasnt playing, and here we are, 27 yrs later happy as a couple of larks

[Daniel15778]

@jeff62rey klingt wie ein schönes märchen

[jeff62rey]

@Daniel15778 Vielen Dank, mein Freund.

[jp3923]

[jp3923]

@jeff62

[jp3923]

@jeff62rey What a beautiful, courageous story. You and your Mom are extraordinary. I commend you. This is a lovely love song, and I am glad to learn you found Samantha! Are you still together?

Engelbert Humperdinck - How I love you ( HD )

[applejack690]

Leo Sayer is so talented, I love his voice.

[1skullduggery]

he claimed he wanted to be the new dylan....rotflmao.

[LerafoLuap]

@1skullduggery The closest he got was ripping off the chorus of Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" on this song...

[1skullduggery]

@LerafoLuap right. cohen; now THERE'S a real writer. now leo's just got to come up with another 400 songs or so.

[jp3923]

@1skullduggery He may never be a Dylan, but he has a far better voice.

[jp3923]

@1skullduggery He may not be a Bob Dylan, but he sings better!

[1skullduggery]

@jp3923 yes, that's true; however, bob sings in that manner as part of his style. he's actually much better than he would have you beleive. i was just being a menace poking fun at leo......best wishes for the new year to you....

[icartoon2]

This is one of those great songs that has been lost to radio airplay. Meaning, it needs to be played on the radio again!!

[Jgeneraledger23]

I never knew Richard Simmons knew how to sing ;)

[doowaditti]

@Jgeneraledger23 Go to Richard Simmons web site,if he has one, and enjoy yourself!
