Living In A Fantasy

Living in a Fantasy is the eighth studio album recorded by the English-Australian singer-songwriter Leo Sayer. It was released on 22 August 1980. Although the album was not a huge commercial success, the single that it spawned, a cover version of Bobby Vee's "More Than I Can Say", spent five weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1980 and January 1981. Sayer's version of the song was certified a gold record by the RIAA. It also spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. In the UK, the song peaked at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, while it spent two weeks atop the Kent Music Report in Australia. Sayer has stated that while looking for an "oldie" to record for Living in a Fantasy, he saw a TV commercial for a greatest hits compilation album by Vee, and chose the song on the spot: "We went into a record store that afternoon, bought the record and had the song recorded that night." AllMusic noted that Living in a Fantasy was "the last album to yield hits for Leo Sayer in America..."
