More Than I Can Say
Leo Sayer scored a major hit with "More Than I Can Say" in 1980-1. The ballad peaked at #2 in America and Britain. It also topped the Australian chart. In Canada, the disc reached #3.
The song was written by Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis. Both were members of The Crickets. The band played with Buddy Holly until his tragic and untimely death in 1959.
The Crickets issued the original version of "More Than I Can Say" in the following year. A remake by Bobby Vee was released in 1961. Although it failed to crack the US Top 40, this version climbed to #4 in Britain.
