I did a two-step, quick-step and a Bossanova. A little Victor Sylvester and a Rudy Valentino.
You should have seen me moving right across the floor!

Leo Sayer only ever did one or two good songs and that wasn't one of them!! He did a credible version of the old Crickets song though!

Phhlllbbttyt well I know you can't dance.
By the way that's a Curtis/Allison song that Bobby Vee made a hit that the Crickets, and Leo, did a cover for.

Ok, here is a question for you!! What band were Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison members of, I'll wait?

I think you forget what a great songwriter Leo is. This is probably his best song and it shows his chops as a both a songwriter and a vocalist. Three Dog Night made a huge hit doing a cover of it but I still think Leo's vocals on it is way better.
