Rick Beato has this as the most complex pop song of all time. Great job!

[@clarkpickett7329]

In case anyone is interested, here is Rick's video on the song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ-1qYeNbayripo

Rick is awesome! Loved his deep dive on this great tunes….HSCC knocked it out of the park too!

LOL - the early bird already got the worm. I should have looked before I posted.

its just incredibly awkward chord progressions and the insane amount of modulations, that just keep going and going and going.

[@Luizaffaria]

I am Brazilian and I am 50 years old. I heard this song in the early 80's as a kid. I grew up loving this song and proud of the spectacular musician that is my compatriot Sérgio Mendes. Thank you for the emotion I'm feeling right now.

[@rorschachairsoft]

As a Brazilian I'm really proud of Sergio Mendes' career and what he've accomplished. Kudos from Brazil!!

[@clannad99germany70]

I loved this song once, it was released and more I loved the sound and cover versions of Sergio Mendes.

Excellent cover of Sergio Mendes ‘ 1983 version sung by Joe Pizzulo and Leeza Miller- composed by Weil and Mann. Sergio Mendes won the 1993 Grammy for Best World Music Album with 1992 Brasileiro on the Elektra label . Compositions by Carlinhos Brown, Ivan Lins, João Bosco , Guinga and Hermeto Pascoal. The 1972 Primal Roots ( Raizes)album also featured some of the best Brazilian composers and musicians -Dorival Caymmi, Baden Powell - with authentic Afro-Brasileiro, jazz/samba arrangements by Sergio Mendes. The Circle Game /Jogo de Roda written by Edu Lobo and Ruy Guerra, was an almost 19 minute long track on the flip side of the Primal Roots vinyl LP featuring Airto Moreira on percussion, Oscar Castro-Neves on guitar and Tom Scott on flute! Amazing stuff- for 1972!

[@electronash]

Rick Beato got me into this song. Anyone else? lol The chord changes in this song are incredible.

I hate oceans in my dessert. Unless it's oceans of chocolate sauce in my ice-cream, in which case, sure.

[@magcarl2000]

Who doesn't get goosebumps on this song? An undeniably very good version of this song.

[@jaykiger2403]

If that’s not a world class performance, then I don’t know what is. Glenn and beautiful Pina were spot on in the vocal, and the band took a song with a very difficult reputation to play, and made it their own. Another incredible offering from the HSCC…..and you’re right Con….”That’s the one!”

[@jeffreywonser3241]

A VERY DIFFICULT SONG! For those that don't know, this song has many, MANY key changes that are just strange and unexpected. But with this song, it all works because of Sergio Mendes! You guys nail it. This is really next level, and I hope a lot of us notice the extra effort this one takes! I can't IMAGINE how long it took y'all to get it! And, be truthful. Who had their "cheat sheets" within sight? You show your AMAZING skills with this song! WTG, HSCC!! BIG KUDOS!

[@TheAtticradio]

Those were the days when songs had variations key changes and nuances. It’s not that singers can’t sing it’s the songs are 4 chords songs that are churned out today

[@johna3734]

I was going to post this.

[@frandanco6289]

@@TheAtticradio Agree with you, thanks for your comments... But I also believe that the singers of today, the new ones, are just not as good... They have not put in the work yet, and it shows... The HSCC people ARE Real Musicians, and when you have THEM, this is the result !!! Love Them !

[@TheAtticradio]

Mdon’t know about that fran. I mean on one level growing up with great music and listening loving hearing it every where night clubs Party’s that does give you soul Vibe etc saying the singers of today aren’t as good not sure. Top singers are trained young to sing properly classically or otherwise. That hasn’t changed. There are good singers today but not as much maybe in the pop radio world maybe that’s what you meant. I do agree you you do not hear much beautiful vocals. Like you would with this amazing Song and others. Back in the day. With all that said just looked at the latest and ‘ greatest ‘ they’re ain’t much special there !! Adele maybe Beyoncé Adam Levine wouldn’t consider a lot of the artists to be actually good vocalists wouldn’t consider Taylor swift to be a good singer or billie eilish … even though they’re considered good singers We lost Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson too soon - awesome singers.

[@hpiccov]

THX for your explanation Jeff.

[@kylewyatt986]

Incredible job! Very unusual chord progression and a difficult song to play. Always liked this song and you guys knocked it out of the park!

[@musicarizona]

this is a great Sergio Mendes song.... and I LOVE Pena singing.... I wish she were featured so much more.

[@LUCKYIRISHLADY77]

Glenn & Pina What are phenomenal job you did with the vocals. I think better than the original. Y’all should send this recording out and make it a record. And all the musicians in the mixologist y’all are awesome. Just awesome I don’t know what else to say just awesome

[@glennrochemusic]

Wow! Great vocals Glenn and Pina. What a gauntlet to run through that song is. One of the best HSCC songs of all time! Some say a song like that is written by a fly dipping its feet in ink and wandering across the manuscript, but it was actually a hop-scotching hornet,, they take bigger steps! And nobody got stung! What a fine accomplishment.

[@mikehutton3937]

It's actually more subtle than that. The writers took the melody line, line by line, and shifted the harmony at the resting points to the most distant keys they could (harmonically speaking) while maintaining the melodic line. The next line would start from the new harmonic starting point and move in a natural way until the end of the line. And so on. The real genius is that the song still works. Songwriters tend to mould the melody to standard harmonic structures, rather than the other way round. The song is actually only tricky for the singers in a couple of places, where the intervals are a bit strange. Most of it is easy to follow as the transitions from line to line are within a tone of the last. The instrumentalists, on the other hand...

[@rutesoarem]

que química ❤ tem esses dois excelentes cantores ❤

[@lagartosouza1]

Nosso querido Brasileiríssimo Sérgio Mendes, belíssima canção !

[@donv21117]

As others have commented, contrary to what it may look like, this is not an easy song to sing with the chord changes. They did it flawlessly.

[@ropataj3]

One of the hardest duets to sing and you guys nailed. Just loved it thank you

[@jackobrien3584]

Those two voices really worked well together. Talk about listening pleasure.

[@davidrobins7941]

This is a superb vocal duet Glenn and Pina with such a challenging song 👏. Con yet another clever arrangement and the HSCC band delivers and some, Wow! Thank you all and God Bless.

[@steveb1661]

Joe Pizzulo and Leeza Miller would be so impressed, I know I am. Is there nothing HSCC can't do? and that's the one!

[@arob79]

Lovely rendition of this timeless song! Glen and Pina masterfully covered this song that I was not aware Sergio Mendes originally recorded as I associate him with 60s bossa nova as in “The Look of Love”, “The Fool on the Hill”, etc.!

[@DannyVoltaje]

Their vocal range is insane. And that crisp sound is just to die for. Hearing them live must be amazing.

[@brunoperez7131]

I'd say that the vocals were absolutely stunning, but then again just about anything Pina touches turns to platinum. You make it look like it's just another day at the office, but we all know how difficult it is to achieve that level of perfection and how dedicated you all are to the music. This ranks among your top 5.

[@davidramos7254]

Fantastic, fantastic cover. Glenn has a very rich voice. Pina, what I can say. She can sing anything. My wife and I did a cover of this song a few years back when we performed with a band. Forgive me, Pina, when I say my wife sang her part the best ever. But, you were right there. Keep it coming. Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas to everyone at HSCC.

[@davidwilliamgay4821]

Glen and Pina in duet. It just gets better every week. How you master these songs in such a short time is amazing. Wait, i know the answer. Its simple...amazing talent and damn hard work

[@jellybean8167]

Never gonna give you up and welcome to the world of a thousand and one key changes, I always wondered if anyone `Down below´would attempt it. Great musicians have played it, and great singers have sung it, it`s not easy to reach the ranges of Joe Pizzulo, Liza Miller or Kate Markowitz but you guys did an excellent jog with a truly wonderful song, thank you one and all.

[@frandanco6289]

So, So, Beautifully Played and Sung ! Thank you ALL, The Hindley Street Country Club!!! You guys and girl absolutely Killed It!!!! I heard the original when it came out and it is/was great, but this is Outstanding !!!! I Love It !!! Thank You Again ! Thank your Families for sharing you all with us !!!! With Love, Fran Danco

[@brianawales]

Pina is looking beautiful as usual and her angelic voice is always on spot! Nicely done

[@davidbooker8319]

One of the greatest make-up songs of all time! If you sing that to (or play it for) an ex, you had better mean every word 🤣🤣. Seriously great vocals Glenn and ❤PINA❤️. A male/female ballad is so classic, and just can’t be topped especially when sung by two superior vocalists as you two 👏🏾👏🏾. Glenn’s voice so powerful and clear, an Pina’s low register is so rich and genuine. Great job on this!! Kudos to the band as well. The musicianship is always top notch 👍🏾. HAPPY HSCC THURSDAY EVERYONE!!!! 🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@highenergyjenny]

Oh this song. A breakdown, so many key changes. It’s pop everything. You all nailed it as always. Love you HSCC

It is really amazing, that no matter who Pina is singing with that she blends and makes the other singers sound better in the the blend than alone. Love her voice.

When you have 2 great singers together and a fantastic arrangement you get this wow what a beautiful performance by Glen & Pina

[@chrisfrimoth7245]

Well done. This is one of the craziest songs to learn since it has so many modulations. Strong keyboards by Mark Fogliano and Dave Ross. You can't even think about covering this song without two really good keyboardists. I just love the variety of tunes you're choosing to re-imagine. Glenn and Pina, that was superb and a really nice blend of your vocal prowess.

That is the most difficult pop song ever written. So many key changes and you all did a great job. Two thumbs up!

[@laucops198]

"The most complex" and "the most difficult" are two different things. It's probably hard to sing, but the musicians have nailed harder pieces than this one, which requires memorization but is not techincally difficult like most ballads. Last week, Georgy Porgy was more challenging, especially for the rythm section.

[@Nostaljack]

@@laucops198 "Probably" hard to sing? Yeah, this is difficult to sing for sure. This is also NOT an easy tune to play. You can't come in reading it. You've gotta know this one before you start playing.

I can play this song, your version, in my car and it's the same car I had when this song was new. I never sold the car and never forgot the song.
