Antoinette, your son is so incredibly talented! He has one of the most beautifully profound singing voices I've ever heard! I watched a more recent live clip of this song somewhere on RUclips a while back and I am truly amazed that he can still reach those high notes in a very impressively powerful way after more than thirty years! I'm so glad that you are his Mother and that you are very proud of him! Joe Pizzulo will always be one of the greatest male vocalists in the world as far as I'm concerned! He is such a wonderful, decent man because you raised him perfectly well! ~Dutch
Back in the day, in the early 80's, most of the network TV variety shows WOULD NOT allow their guests to perform "LIVE", in fear of goofs, gaffs and other flubs that came along with performing live on stage, with little time to rehearse and a rotating line of musical guests slated for that day's taping. When viewing this performance that Sergio Mendes, along with his group of stellar musicians and the magnificent vocals from Joe Pizzulo & Leeza Miller did on THE TONIGHT SHOW with JOHNNY CARSON, one can see that all the elements were in just the right place in order for this truly "LIVE" performance, to come out PERFECT! As it did! Now, when viewing the taping they did on SOLID GOLD with MARILYN McCOO & REX SMITH, one can see that they were all wearing the SAME exact clothing and costuming, even their hair styles were in exact fashion, signifying that SOLID GOLD was done earlier in the day and TONIGHT later in the day...the only thing different, was that SOLID GOLD was done in "Lip Sync" and TONIGHT was absolutely "LIVE"! Also, on SOLID GOLD, the prerecorded soundtrack included the shredding electric guitar solo at the end of the song and the TONIGHT SHOW "LIVE" version, did not, obviously because there was no electric guitar player present on stage. Back in the early 80's, it wasn't that easy to duplicate the sound of the record live on stage, due those original recordings were done in large studios, with multiple tracks of layering, processing and effects; to try to get that down "LIVE" on a TV sound stage, was nearly an impossible feat, but lo & behold, it was done with great success...and probably a bit of nervousness...that great unforgettable night on NBC!
Together with Fred Mercury & Montserrat Cabalé, Joe Pizzullo & Leza Miller are my favorite duets of all time. On keyboard is Sergio Mendes, a highly respected Brazilian musician in the world. About the song, this live performance is better than the recording in my opinion. And the love songs of 70/80/90 are much better than all that came before or after. And YES, I'm from Brazil
As has been said, often live performances don't meet the standards of recording, but this performance by Sergio Mendez, with these two vocalists, Joe Pizzulo, and Leeza Miller is one of the best live performances I heard. Their musical chemistry is brilliant!
This must be the one I was looking for. I remember seeing the whole song on TV as a little boy and couldn't place whose show it was on. Should've guessed it'd be a guy sharing my first name.
oh my ...... that different ending! soooo great. such a great band. alibis and this are amazing. at least Joe got his name mentioned at the beginning. His voice is golden. great song by Sergio
Thanks for sharing this. First time seeing it and nice to see the duet performed complete, as Solid Gold completely cut out Leeza's second verse of the song.
It's a shame that there wasn't much Joe-Leeza live performance of this song afterwards. There's one good live performance of this song (ruclips.net/video/LbNugxHdggs/видео.html) but it was with Kate Yanai. The rest of the live performance years after wasn't as good. Joe was still spectacular though even during his 60's, but the female counterparts weren't at par with Joe's level and never close to Leeza's rendition.
I am his proud Mother! love it!
Antoinette Pizzulo Hello Mrs. Pizzulo. You have every reason to be proud! :) I am so glad I saved that clip. VCR's were sort of new back then. lol
his voice is soo good.. must be from you mrs pizzulo 😊

The most beautiful duet ever recorded. You have good reason to be proud. This song will last longer than all of us.
Amazing, first time I hear the original without editing
Joe Pizzulo is pure GOLD !
It's 2023, I love this song!
Masterful music. This was REAL music unlike today's no-talent "vocalists" who do nothing but scream. Ugh! Sergio, we thank you!
Just scary good. Joe and Leeza are a great combination and they're even better live than on record.
simply addicted to this song

There was a time when a song live sounds exactly like the original recording. Amazing singers and producer Sergio Mendez.
