Songfacts:
In one of his earliest hits, Leo Sayer sings about a hungry busker trying to make a few coins by entertaining passersby on a bustling road in London. Sayer and his songwriting partner David Courtney were working on material for Sayer’s first two albums when Roger Daltrey showed interest in their work for his first solo release, Daltrey.

Sayer’s version a year later features noted roots guitarist Ry Cooder on acoustic guitar.
