Sayer launched his career in the UK in the early 1970s and became a top singles and album act on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s.〔 His first seven hit singles in the United Kingdom all reached the Top 10 – a feat first registered by his first manager, Adam Faith.〔 His songs have been sung by other notable artists, including Cliff Richard's, "Dreamin'". ==Early life== Sayer was born to an English father and an Irish mother in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, where he attended St Peter's Catholic Primary School. Later he attended Blessed Robert Southwell (now Chatsmore) in Goring〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What I learnt at school: Leo Sayer )〕 before studying commercial art and graphic design at West Sussex College of Art and Design in Worthing, Sussex. He was initially discovered by musician David Courtney, who then co-managed and co-produced him with former pop singer turned manager, Adam Faith.〔Rice, Jo. ''The Guinness Book of 500 Number One Hits'' (1st edition), Guinness Superlatives Ltd, Middlesex, UK, p. 181; ISBN 0-85112-250-7〕 In January 1967, while 18-year-old Sayer was working as a hall porter at the King's Hotel in Hove, he assisted in the rescue of guests from a fire that damaged the first floor of the hotel. He was rescued by builders working on a block of flats beside the hotel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bedford Hotel, King's Road: Fire at the hotel )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leo Sayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
