I wonder if #MichaelJackson or #LeoSayer ever considered asking the other to write a song for them? Songs like How Much Love or You Make Me Feel Like Dancing would’ve been right at home during Michael’s Off The Wall / Thriller era; their voices are even a bit similar.

"You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" is a song by the English singer #LeoSayer, taken from his 1976 album #EndlessFlight. It reached number one on the US #Billboard #Hot100 chart, making it his first top single in the United States, and reached number two on the #UKSinglesChart. Billboard ranked it the #number13SongOf1977. Credited songwriters Sayer and #ViniPoncia won a #GrammyAward for the song #in1978 for #BestRAndBSong.

#LeoSayer’s story is much more pleasant than most from that time in the #musicbiz. Most artists were swindled, became addicted to drugs and other vices and ended up broke, destitute and mere shells of their former selves. The 60’s - 70’s - 80’s music extravaganza enriched only a handful, while thousands were cast by the wayside. It was built into the #businessmodel from the very beginning. #GriftersGonnaGrift. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/mar/12/unbelievable-life-leo-sayer-interview-songs-sex-swindled-spooky-phone-call-elvis?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
