  • "Never Gonna Let You Go" is a popular song from 1982 written by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann; Weil wrote the lyrics, while Mann wrote the music. It was first recorded by Dionne Warwick for her 1982 album Friends in Love, then by singer Stevie Woods for his 1982 album The Woman in My Life. However, its best-known rendition was by Brazilian musician and bandleader Sérgio Mendes, on his 1983 self-titled album. That version was sung by Joe Pizzulo and Leeza Miller. Weil and Mann had originally submitted "Never Gonna Let You Go" to American funk band Earth, Wind & Fire, but they decided not to record the song. Mendes, preparing for the release of his 1983 album, was quoted as saying, "All the other songs on the album were up and festive. I needed a ballad on the album, just to change the pace a bit." Mendes' version was a hit, matching the No. 4 peak of his previous best showing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, "The Look of Love", in 1968. It spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard R&B chart. On the Radio & Records airplay chart the song debuted #26 on the May 13, 1983 issue; after six weeks it reached and peaked at #7 for one week; the single stayed on the top 10 for three weeks and remained on the chart for twelve weeks. The song was successful, especially in Brazil, being played on Rede Globo's soap opera Final Feliz. (en)
  • Never Gonna Let You Go är en sång skriven av Cynthia Weil (text) och Barry Mann (musik). Den fick störst uppmärksamhet då den ut på Sérgio Mendes självbetitlade album från 1983. Mendes producerade även låten, som sjungs av och . Weil och Mann skickade ursprungligen låten till det amerikanska funkbandet Earth, Wind & Fire, men de bestämde sig för att inte spela in låten. Dionne Warwick spelade in låten på albumet Friends in Love från 1982. Även Stevie Woods spelade in låten på albumet The Woman in My Life från 1982. Mendes, som 1983 förberedde sig för att ge ut sitt självbetitlade album, behövde en ballad som omväxling till upptempolåtarna på albumet. Mendes version blev en hit, som nådde plats 4 på Billboard Hot 100. Den tillbringade även fyra veckor på förstaplatsen på Billboard Adult Contemporary-listan och nådde topp 28 på Billboard R&B-listan. Skivproducenten Rick Beato dekonstruerade låten i en video från juni 2021 på sin YouTube-kanal och sammanfattade hans 20-minutersanalys genom att förklara den som "den mest komplicerade hitlåten genom tiderna". Detta tack vare de komplexa ackordgångarna och flertalet tonartsbyten. (sv)
