Solved: Music Man... HELP!!!

Hi, there's an old song from 1979-80, called "I am the music man" or just "Music man", I'm not sure. It's not the one from the famous movie or the one performed by Black Lace.

It´s a pop song and starts with a synth intro and the chorus says something like this: "I am the music man, I like to sing and dance... I sing for everybody. I'm on the radio and every TV show, I sing for everybody... I am the music man"

As incredible as it sounds I haven't heard it anywhere for 30 years and that's the only song from that era that I haven't been able to get in my collection.

Does anyone knows who sings it? PLEASE HELP!!! lol

Thanx

Hi Chameleon. I´ll look for it when I get home, but I don't think that's the one I'm looking for.

thanks for your help

My wife just asked me this same question... and I found this thread looking for the answer... so did you ever found out the name of the song? (or the singer?)

Thanks in advance.

I have had no luck finding a song with the lyrics you provided.
However, your lyrics are very similar to the song, "The Guitar Man" by Bread (1972).

Who draws the crowd and plays so loud,
Baby its the guitar man.
Whos gonna steal the show, you know
Baby its the guitar man,

He can make you love, he can make you cry
He will bring you down, then hell get you high
Somethin keeps him goin, miles and miles a day
To find another place to play.

Night after night who treats you right,
Baby its the guitar man
Whos on the radio, you go listen
To the guitar man

Then he comes to town, and you see his face,
And you think you might like to take his place
Somethin keeps him driftin miles and miles away
Searchin for the songs to play.

Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along,
You want to get the meaning out of each and evry song
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
And take them home.

He can make you love, he can get you high
He will bring you down, then hell make you cry
Somethin keeps him movin, but no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go.

Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice hes just got to find
Another place to play,
Anyway got to play, anyway got to play.
