Roger Daltrey has been performing Leo Sayer’s ‘Giving It All Away’ in his current shows and footage has made its way online.
Leo Sayer was still unknown in 1973 when he wrote nine of the 11 songs for the debut solo album for Roger titled ‘Daltrey’. ‘Giving It All Away’ was also the lead singer for Daltrey off the album. Leo recorded his ow version of his second album ‘Just A Boy’ in 1974.
Roger said, “I met a guy called Leo Sayer. He was recording in my recording studio. He was looking for a record deal. And I said to him ‘Leo, why don’t you write me a few songs. I’ll make me an album and lets see what it does”. And he came back to me in ten days with ten songs. My favourite of the lot was a big hit for me. ‘Giving It All Away’.
