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 #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1980 and January 1981.[3] Sayer's version of the song was certified a gold record by the RIAA.[3] It also spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[4] In the UK, the song peaked at #2 on the UK Singles Chart,[5] 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."[4] Track listingSide one
