The song is really evocative of my childhood and I'm thinking it was released in either 1980 or 1981 (possibly 82 at a push).
The song is by a guy with a really amazing voice. He sounds like a woman. I know there's a music video; all I can remember is this chap spends most of the song looking into a mirror- possibly in a theatre dressing room. There might be a woman later on sat next to him, but I'm not sure.
Its a British person and I think probably a UK one hit wonder.

Has anyone any idea in the slightest who on Earth I'm talking about? Its killing me trying to work it out. I have the song on the tip of my tongue but I cant quite get it.

Leo Sayer?
