Leo Sayer, a renowned singer, has shared his honest playlist in an interview with The Guardian, as reported by The Guardian – Music.
Sayer's love for music began at a young age, with Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right' being one of the first songs he fell in love with, after hearing it through his cousin David when he was about 16.
He also recalls buying his first single, 'Great Balls of Fire' by Jerry Lee Lewis, from Fine Records in Brighton, which his dad threw out of the window, calling it 'pagan music'.
Sayer mentions various songs that hold special meaning to him, including 'Astral Weeks' by Van Morrison, which he plans to record himself, and 'Imagine' by John Lennon, which he can no longer listen to due to its poignant message.
Leo Sayer's 18-CD box set Leothology: The Studio Albums 1973 – Now is out now, and he is touring until 15 November.
