who sang when you are a king

The song “When You Are a King” was originally sung by the British pop group White Plains and released as a single in 1971, with lead vocals by Pete Nelson.

A more recent notable version was recorded by Paul Weller, who covered “When You Are a King” for his project Find El Dorado , where he provides the lead vocal on the track.

So, if you mean the classic early‑70s hit, the answer is White Plains (lead singer Pete Nelson); if you mean the newer version people talk about today, that is sung by Paul Weller.
