Leo Sayer - Get Back
Leo (Gerry) Sayer nació el 21 de mayo de 1948 en Shoreham-by-Sea, una localidad británica ubicada en Sussex. Después de hacer sus primeros pinitos en el coro parroquial, acudir durante un tiempo a una escuela de arte y diseño, y tras intentarlo en los años 60 con la Terraplane Blues Band Sayer, Sayer se acomodó en la siguiente década al soft-rock, interpretando música comercial, domesticada, de cierta artesanía compositiva, poco memorable, que le llevó a conseguir el éxito. Su representante y productor era nada más y nada menos que Adam Faith, el triunfal cantante de comienzos de los años 60 que conoció a Sayer por mediación de Dave Courtney, su compañero en el grupo Patches. Courtney había sido músico de sesión de Faith.
Faith también llevaba los asuntos de Roger Daltre y el cantante de los Who grabaría “Giving it all away”, un single en solitario escrito por Sayer y Courtney que consiguió cierta notoriedad comercial. Tras esta labor compositiva Leo Sayer debutaría en single con “Why is everybody going home”, primer single, firmado por Courtney (música)/Sayer (letras), de “Silverbird” (1974), su LP debut (número 2 en Gran Bretaña), co-producido por Faith y Courtney, y con la colaboración de Russ Ballard, en el cual sonaba también “The show must go on”, tema interpretado por Sayer en plan Pierrot (el personaje de la comedia del arte) que alcanzó el número 2 en el Reino Unido y que fue versionado con gran éxito por Three Dog Night. Otros singles, como “One man band” (número 6) o “Long tall glasses” (número 4 en el Reino Unido y número 9 en Estados Unidos), también recibieron un notable recibimiento comercial, a la vez que el LP (número 4) “Just a boy” (1974), último disco en el cual el autor de la música de sus temas, Dave Courtney, colaboraría por última vez con Sayer.Las relaciones entre ellos eran malas y decidieron romper. El encargado de firmar los temas con Leo sería a partir de ahora Frank Farrell.
“Another Year” (1975), un LP (número 8) co-producido por Adam Faith y Russ Ballard, incluía el single “Moonlighting” (número 2). El año más importante de la carrera discográfica de Leo Sayer fue 1976. En plena fiebre discotequera apareció “Endless Flight” (1976), un LP (número 4) producido por Richard Perry, el encargado de conducir ahora su carrera, que contenía hits importantes como “When I need you” (número 1) y su tema más popular, “You make me feel like dancing” (número 2 en Gran Bretaña y número 1 en los Estados Unidos), en donde con su falsete Sayer nos invitaba al bailoteo. Ni la aparición del punk consiguió hacer desaparecer a Leo Sayer. En octubre de 1977 editó el disco grande “Thunder in my heart” (1977), LP (número 8) con el single homónimo (número 22), y unos meses después llegó al número 1 en Inglaterra con el recopilatorio “The Very Best” (1978). A partir de aquí sí que sus ventas menguaron, a excepción de una versión del clásico de los Crickets “More that I can say”, tema que llegó al número 2 tanto en Gran Bretaña como en los Estados Unidos.

Damien Leith - Got My Mind Set On You
Damien Leo Leith (born 18 January 1976, in Dublin) is an Irish-Australian singer–songwriter. He was the winner of the Network Ten music contest Australian Idol 2006. Since winning the title, Leith has released nine studio albums, four of which peaked in the top two of the ARIA Charts, including two number ones. He has been awarded seven platinum and one gold certification for albums and singles by ARIA, which equates to sales of just over half a million.
As a teenager Leith formed a family band, "Leaf", with his sister Áine and brothers Paul and Darren. Leaf recorded in New York City and then again later under the new name "Releaf", which made an appearance in the Irish Top 100. After moving to Sydney, he played in a number of high-profile venues, as front-man for a band known as Revelate. His first Australian performance was at The Basement in Sydney's Circular Quay.
Before auditioning for Australian Idol, Leith worked in Sydney as a chemist with Pharmalab utilising the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry he obtained from University College, Dublin and postgraduate experience within the Metallosupramolecular Research Group in the Chemistry Department of Trinity College, Dublin.
Despite adverse comments from judges Mark Holden and Kyle Sandilands in relation to Leith's appearance and a performance of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" on the "Disco" theme night, which drew ridicule from Holden, the judges' assessments of Leith's performances were usually positive with Holden labelling him a 'darkhorse' early in the competition. His renditions of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", Roy Orbison's "Crying", Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" each earned Leith a "Touchdown" from Mark Holden, Holden's ultimate accolade for an excellent performance.[citation needed]
Leith holds the record (with Australian Idol 2004 winner Casey Donovan) for being awarded the most touchdowns, at four apiece. Sandilands also stated that the family of Roy Orbison had contacted the Australian Idol producers requesting a copy of Leith's performance of "Crying". Although he was one of the most popular interviewees on Idol's behind-the-scenes show Idol Backstage, he was not expected by betting agencies to win the competition with Dean Geyer punted as the favourite to win throughout.
Leith is one of only few contestants to never land in the bottom 2 or bottom 3 throughout their series. During a live broadcast from the Sydney Opera House, Leith was announced the winner, over runner-up Jessica Mauboy. At age 30 at the time, Leith became the second oldest winner of any Idol series in the world. Controversy among viewers was created as Leith was not an Australian citizen at the time of winning the Australian Idol
