In 1979, the compilation album "The Very Best of Leo Sayer" (originally released by Chrysalis in the UK and elsewhere, with its first release in the US in 2000 by Rhino Records with different cover art) became Sayer's first United Kingdom No. 1 LP and his seventh consecutive United Kingdom Top 20 album. Sayer also guest-starred in the second episode of the third season of "The Muppet Show", and performed "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing", "The Show Must Go On", and "When I Need You".
