@loughneagh: Leo Sayer · 🎵 · When I Need You · 1977 single Leo later recalled being in America while his wife, Janice, was back in England. Their transatlantic calls were a struggle. Then he heard Albert Hammond and Carole Bayer Sager’s song, wrote out the lyrics and read them to her over the phone. She urged him to record it. Produced by Richard Perry, “When I Need You” became Leo’s first UK number one. He hadn’t written those words, but they said what he wanted to tell her. Before the record reached millions of listeners, it had reached the person he was missing. Who would you send this song to today? #LeoSayer #WhenINeedYou #70sMusic #LongDistanceLove #SongStories
