Rick... I was the girl singer on that gig - Beth Russo (now Graham)! What a fun summer gig that was - and I never quite realized then how tricky that tune was for you guys. Terrance Bruce was a wonder. Great vid - I enjoyed listening and remembering all that! @Rick Beato

Rick, I have been playing piano for 40 yrs. I put together a massive 80s playlist, found this song, downloaded the sheet music. I seriously had some wtf moments as I was sight reading. Took me 3 tries to get it down and after watching your video I was dying of laughter. I can’t imagine trying to memorize this song. Thx for the analysis!

You may know Sergio Mendes is brazilian and his major influence is "Bossa Nova" that has a lot of chords like those in its composition; even Mendes has done the arrangement, only. Names like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Carlos Lyra, JoĂŁo Gilberto, among other have been used these kind of sequence since the 60s and 70s. I'm Dilermando Nassif, from Belo Horizonte, MG. Brazil. I like your videos. You are a great musician. Congratulations.

The genius of this song isn’t even the chords, it’s that they wrote a singable, hummable, memorable vocal melody over that!!!

This video is so epic that it's mentioned in the Wikipedia entry for the song! In a June 2021 video posted on YouTube, record producer Rick Beato called "Never Gonna Let You Go" "the most complex pop song of all time", due to its use of frequent key changes, inverted chords and unusual chord progressions.[4] Beato's discussion includes a detailed harmonic analysis of the SĂŠrgio Mendes arrangement.

That's why Sergio Mendes is still making music. Great music.

Back in the day, in our wedding band, we prayed that the bride and groom NEVER requested this to be the song for their first dance!

This is how you write a song without getting sued for plagiarism lol.

Absolutely god-level jazz composition. So complex yet sounds so natural and so beautiful, especially with the male / female duet.

Brasil 66 era was sophisticated jazz/pop/bossa nova that charted all over the planet. His version of The Beatles’ Fool on a Hill is outstanding.

Am I the only non-musician here understanding like 10% of the technobabble but still enjoying this guy's enthusiasm tremendously?

Rick: The Wikipedia page for this song already mentions that you analyzed the song and called it the most complex pop song ever, just 4 hours after you posted this video. You've become a cultural icon!

I watch this video over and over because I had the same experience with this same song. It was many many years later and I was playing for a woman who wanted to do it. I thought I've heard this song a hundred times. I can nail this right now. The guitar player didn't know it so we put the tape on. Suddenly I realised I didn't know it either. Same thing, wait go back, what? Glad someone like Rick had the same problem. This song is all over the place. I laugh so hard every time I watch this.

I love his smile while he's playing along. Every version of the smile as each chord is played represents a new complexity proportional to the obscurity of the chord 😅 Such a musician thing to do.

As complicated as these progressions are, it never SOUNDS crazy. Just flows. Weird!

This song can only be played by Guitar George, cause he knows all the chords.

It’s amazing that the vocal melody is so easy to listen to having such a complex chord structure underneath
