Leo didn't steal the song, it was his producer according to Ray Parker Jr. That's pretty messed up because that song may rival Ghostbusters as Ray's most successful song.
Was pretty shocked when I found out Ray Parker Jr wrote this. Wasn't Leo's fault though. Now this has come to light, hopefully Ray will now get his props he deserves and 35 years of back payment royalties
@SomerKnight In all fairness Leo never stole it, it was the producer who decided not to credit Ray, and hopefully now he will receive the props he deserves.
I used to really like this song. But now, after watching Unsung, I am doubly pissed at Leo Sayers and his peeps - who by the way have the audacity to put their names on a Ray Parker, Jr. song and neglect to give him song and financial credit for his work. Thanks to Unsung, the truth is out there now. Damn thieves!
@eluvre I Agree... Someone should start a Facebook petition page to get Ray Parker Jr. his credit and monies... Also let's not let THE PRODUCER RICHARD PERRY off the hook.. he is the one who asked & initiated the request from Ray Parker Jr. . to cut the song and told him to his face ..he would be given his SONG CREDIT..
DO THE RIGHT THING MR. PERRY It's been said you are a "present day" decent guy ... WE WILL SEE..
As much as i usta like this song...i hate it now cause Bro Ray Parker Jr. never got credit for this song and had it not been for unsung on tv-one, the theft woulda STILL gone unnoticed. Pay up Leo, you thief!
Alright, not a big fan of the song, but you have to admit this guy is very talented. I do not think he would make it today. Talent not really looked for now. only a look. really sad.
Notice his glazed eyes and especially the backup brunette singers eyes maybe they smoked a little Mother nature b4 the show make it legal they sound perfect in this state like most bands from this era and beyond!!
Back then Musical Artists had to work their way up by performing in small venues, travel non-stop to promote themselves, and if they're really good, they get a shot at a recording contract. Today, it takes 10 weeks on American Idol, and suddenly, they're supposed to be an Artist. How things have changed.
& YES I love that white boy 'fro ya know! But his gig with Suzy Quatro, now that was the bomb.. (& yes its on youtube) ..to be honest, that could have been overplayed to my liking as well..
@doctorw2 Please don't hold your breath. First time I heard the hip hop rap was on MTV. MY heart sank. And almost every MOVIE song track that comes out has it.
People back then had some decency..they were fully clothed but still entertaining...now days the girls are mandatory half naked and shaking their bum in the face of the watcher..
@iball78217 I had like about ten of those suits. It would be embarrassing to wear them in public now though. People would laugh me off the street. Like when Huggybear got out of jail in the movie "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". That was hilarious.
real music was made back in the day where you had no worries, now the music sucks and the world is in chaos. gone are the days with honest good hearted people....mostly
not arguing about the music, the music was great, but the 70s where no less chaotic than today. you had economic issues, Vietnam, etc. i think the times of hardship make the music better, because it is a source of relaxation from the world. take the forties, after a depression and war we had swing and big band... just saying.. not trying to argue or be hateful
@xxangryfacexx no worries man i get what your saying. well the worlds heading in that same direction again. over a decade of war in the middle east for us, egypt is in ruins and the government is about to be overthrown and things are goin south in a hurry. this song is pure bliss
I reached through a gate at the closed record store and this was one of the albums I pulled through, took it home and played it, didn't know LS ? never could get 33's to sail as high as 45's,he had that heady throaty wine like the BeeGee's catchy tune though ..
