Male vocalist: Joe Pizzulo (American) Female vocalist: Kate Markowiz (American) Keyboardist: Sergio Mendes (Brazilian) Songwriters: Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann (American; married to each other!)
Joe Pizzulo steals the show, what an incredible performance, he hits those notes and stays there like if it was nothing... Gosh, saw a video of his singing this same song almost 30 years later and he is EVEN better... Musicians at that time were incredible, back when you had to train your skill and hone your craft to sing and play. You HAD to be good.
The girl that sings the duet with Joe Pizzulo is in fact KATE MARKOWITZ (she used the pseudonym of Kate Yanai at the time) and she's been singing with James Taylor (as backup singer) for more than 30 years. She is as superb singer and very good human being. Even me being from Portugal, I've seen her twice live (with JT) and hopefully I'll attend another JT concert on 4th Feb 2022 in London (already got tickets). Can't wait...
These are two singers trying to look casual while focusing VERY intensely on hitting their notes, phrasing and harmonies. WAY harder than continual warbling vocal gymnastics.
@@anthonyb.corrales4470 You're obviously a non-musician to be asking this. If you're a musician, try playing it and find out. This song has the most modulations (key changes to the laymen) of any song in history, and they're done so smoothly, you hardly even notice them. There are also a lot of polychords (which are complex) and chords with notes other than the root in the bass. And it all sounds great. A true masterpiece.
This song is composed by cynthia weil (words/lyrics) music by barry mann in 83' this version is the one that hit #1 for 4 consecutive weeks on billboard hot 100 chart and in adult contemporary chart before sergio mendez. Liza miller and ofcourse joe pizzullo recorded this, dione warwick has her own version of this song and stevie woods in 82' but sergio mendez's version is the one that rocks the music chart. And i forgot 1 thing, this song was originally submitted to the american band earth wind and fire by the composer cynthia weil (lyrics) and barry mann (music) but they decided not to record the song.
14 de setembro as 22 horas eu aqui muito triste com a perda do meu amado cantor compositor e meu poeta Sérgio Mendes ouvindo a maravilhosa música Never Gonna Let You Go. Sergio Mendes como você me fez feliz ❤
Record producer: okay Sergio, we're gonna write a song that has 55 key changes with a range that usually only females can sing and it's gonna be a duet and you're gonna perform it live in Tokyo after an 18 hour flight. Sergio:
Sergio: 🙄 Producer: Sergio, believe me they'll be analyzing this song and calling it "The Most Complex pop song of all time" on TH-cam 40 years from now Sergio: TH-cam? 🙄
Graças a Deus temos essas canções maravilhosas pra lembrar que um dia as pessoas fizeram música de verdade pra pessoas que valorizavam sentimentos.Obrigada Sérgio Mendes e Joe pizzullo por essa interpretação sem igual. Não esquecendo de Lezza Miller claro
This song was # 1 . i didnt know it was . i just know i loved it as kid and always will . i love the arangedments and optic rang in their voices . i never get tired of it . its up there with the greats for sure . 😋
They have to face each other while singing because there's a gazillion chords and key changes in this song, haha! Thanks Rick Beato! Had no clue that this song was so busy harmonically when it was all over the radio when I was a small fry I'd imagine trying to play this song, you'd have to root yourself in place and try not to get lost
I hear you! Came here from the Beato analysis of the song and he's right, one of the most complex pop songs ever. One of those songs that'll take me a week to work out or I'll just play lead riffs and let Sergio's keys handle the rest. That said, even sparse lead riffs may be a challenge with so many chord/key changes. I'm curious how chordify may map the song out?
This is what my parents sooth me before going to bed, just like soft rock Blue eyed soul music. it works, It still in my sleeping playlist, but after proper analysis and deconstruction? suddenly I can see and connected the dot as a musicians.
Like a delicious meal that's easy to eat but hard to cook lol This was the _exact_ song I thought of when Rick did a previous video about how Pop has changed - he read my mind!
sou brasileiro e só estou verdadeiramente conhecendo Sergio Mendes hoje! E olha que sou do mundo da musica. Como nunca me falaram sobre ele antes? Não admito!
So many amazing songs we know and love were written by Barry Mann And Cynthia Weill. The wind beneath their wings. Mendez wishes he had written this sophisticated song.
Hola Sergio Méndez te escribe un admirador tuyo de lima peru hola Sergio Méndez que tal canción muy romántica para cortarse las venas por una sección amoroso más por el amor de dos parejas que se aman y veces se pelean por amor eso lo que dice la canción de Sergio Méndez muy buena tu composición Sergio Méndez y la letra de la canción muy buena también felicitaciones
What a touching song, it touches the soul without bumping into the spirit, it touches the heart as if it were a pulmonary artery, in short, it plays on the radio of my imagination...🎵🎵🎶📻🎧
Sergio Mendes left us today.
Immortal in his songs.

Um dos maiores Compositores do mundo Sérgio Mendes, é Brasileiro e sequer é citado em seu próprio País. Parabéns Sérgio Mendes.
Pois é
Nunca ouvi falar do cantor Sérgio Mendes viva o TH-cam que apresenta pessoas como esse cantor jamais o mundo o teria conhecido se não fosse o you tube
Gosto muito dele.Ele foi para USA.e foi lá que lhe foi dado valor.
A mídia porca da valor , a lixo !
Sergio Mendes é o do piano. O cantor é Joe Pizzulo.❤
Thank you Rick
Yes, thanks Rick!
I met Sergio Mendes once in a hotel in Bali in 1980s
Joe Pizzulo has the best voice of all in my own opinion.i never get tired of listening to his songs❤❤❤ i love him too.
曲も演奏も素晴らしい、
そしてデュエットのボーカルが最高。
昔海外のラジオから流れてきたこの曲が思い出されます。
Great song. I like the way that the girl singer (Kate) slowly moves closer and closer. Lucky him!
The chords are burning her up
Descansa en paz Sergio. Brillante músico Brasileño!
Wow and wow, they are both amazing. One of the most romantic songs ever written.
Yeah, that was some killer singing going on there. Incredible range and passion.
This is the most complex, yet one of the most beautiful pop songs ever recorded - a masterpiece.
Why complex?

Good to know.
Thank you.
His vocal range is amazing. He reaches super high notes.
It’s amazing how professional singers can do that
@@evhvariac2 Yeah, there are professional singers, then there is Joe Pizzulo.
@@dofostaine4514 I'm a singer myself, but I'm VERY, VERY impressed with this. I'm glad I 'rediscoverd' Joe. What an amazing talent !!
Probably been kicked in the 'nuts' a few times! 🤣
C#5
4:18 on. That is very high, powerful, and in full voice by both vocalists. And it repeats and repeats. This is some pro singing here.
Joe Pizzulo is just wow! This is a very hard song to sing.
You know there lip synching right
@@jason75 It's a live performance you fucking idiot...
I think it's mixed voice but yeah Joe Pizzulo didn't sound "thin" at those high notes which is amazing.
@@jason75 Wrong! 'Live' performance!
Rest in peace, Sérgio Mendes. Genius.
Buen viaje Maestro Sergio Mendes, gracias por tú música 😢😢
one of the best duets of all time love it
Thanks a whole lot Rick Beato for bringing a new life for this really extraordinary song from Sergio Mendes!
I know right? He seemed to make it sound as if it was that bad but it's not. I loved this song before, I love it even more now.

That's amazing, I was just thinking that the only singer I could think of who could possibly match Joe on this song would be Philip Bailey!

Joe Pizzulo is such an underrated singer. One of the best.
Probably the best love song. And the hair....fabulous.
Brilliant, this.
What a wonderful song, writer, composer, and singer.
That's not singing, that's athletics.
Probably why Sergio (presumably) brought them both back for the "Olympia" session.
This song has more key changes than most hotels.
Vá em paz deixou um exemplo de profissional e músicas lindas sobre o Amor Gratidão ❤

The vocals rock!
Yes, the vocals are touching, especially towards the end of this amazing performance.
He hits Db5 many times during the very last chorus, thats very difficult for a male in mixed voice...
Thank you for many good songs❤
This Lady is the True Definition of Pretty...
A wonderful female!
SiLENCE ACTOR agree! but the song is much more beautiful than her...
She looks good, sings well and dances well too. But can she cook?
