Sergio Mendes - Rainbow's End

[markalvinr34]

This is also one of my favorite Sergio Mendes songs after "Alibis"... Joe Pizzulo's powerful voice really make those 2 songs better...

[ajerx2]

JOE PIZZULO IS THE VOCALIST.. NOT MICHEAL SEMBELLO.. THIS GUY HAD THE BOMB "PIPES"

[shorttrini2002]

@ajerx2 I've had this album for years and Michael Sembello, is listed as the vocalist on this track.

[ajerx2]

@shorttrini2002 i also have had the album since it was out in 83.. joe pizzulo is the vocalist. sembello does backing vocals. watch sergio videos with pizzulo as the vocalist. he also did lead on Alibis.. watch the vid for Alibis and you'll know

[reenzky]

@ajerx2 - Joe Pizzulo still sounds great til now... as if he never aged at all...

[neilalbay]

@shorttrini2002: it's Danny Sembello,Michael's brother who works with Sergio Mendes

[catpsyche]

I've been searching for almost 30 years for this song and did not know the name of this song or even the person that sung it... typed in what lyrics I remembered and walla-presto Sergio Mendes - Rainbow's End leads me right to this place where I've heard it for the first time since the early 80's!!!:) Thank you so much for posting it! ^5

[medina007angel]

Indeed this is a very very good song.This change of the stile of the Sergio Mendes songs was excellent.

[CarolusKlipp482]

Dnload the audio from this tune at thetunify doht cohm.

[subtle3689]

i love sergio..i so love this song...brings me back in time...

[shstrang98]

Michael Sembello sure can sing.

That whole album is great. The follow album Confetti was good too. It had Olympia, Real Life and Alibies.

[ajerx2]

@shstrang98 JOE PIZZULO IS THE VOCALIST

[stellaantoine2]

yeah I still have this longplay record

My recordplayer isnt here for years

Very special artwork of the south USA

I love it also the voice of the singer is the only one in the World!!

[VikingHeroe]

Masterful !!!!!

[poorsillyboy]

I'm going to cover this track, I saw Sergio in concert when he came to Brisbane, He's soooo good live! Awesome presence, I had a fantastic evening, So if you haven't been to one of his concerts your missing out on an incredible opportunity to throw your cares to the wind for a few hours.

[al1967dude]

1983: Atari video games, Commodore home computers, The Police album "Synchronicity", Naked Eyes' big hit "Always something there to remind me", and Sergio Mendes. Those were the days! : )

[TheMCLat]

Would somebody send me an mp3 file of this song? :) Thanks.

[bandypaul]

"dont you turn back agaaain"....  awesome lyrics and melody....miss those days man!

[pinkyleelin]

Lovely song.... Just loving it... =) Pinky

[CarEm1903]

[tagalogruben]

[happymanfeelssogood]

"Good things come to those who wait." but not at the rainbow's end... :  )

[RADIO1990]

damn,you can find anything on youtube! thanks for posting!

[MegaTyler98]

does anyone out there know how this one did on the charts? great song with a great vocal

[porampo]

As for the comments on the syncopated hook, it's very Bacharach-esq.

[pkmb70]

This is when the radio stations actually played stuff like this, it was considered mainstream. When MTV came to NYC, everything changed.

[maui1015]

Amazing!!! I've been looking for this song for over 20 years! did'nt know the name or artist, just happaen to come acrossit. thanks, for bringing back my long lost memories!

[renestef]

@maui1015

I'm sure that the singer is Dan Sembello, Michael Sembello's brother.

[jajvick]

would love to find this on CD

[CrissyJB]

what a song!!!!!, I was born in 1983, a classic never gets old and this song is just a classic. I soooo love this song

[port2344chester]

Omg, i fell out of my chair when i heard this classic jam... cried due to the memories that passed through my head while falling down. Man where did the time go, miss back in the day so much. Music& life was so rare & special, not as much stress. Thanks for the post.. i will share with other friends also.

[dewaynecullen]

I agree - this was a classic but didn't get much radio time - I was sixteen with no worries :(.......I mean ... :)

[CreoleCW]

Drvinne, bless you for posting this major favorite of mine from the '80s. I had this LP and the Sembello family was a major force on it. I think they co-wrote this tune? Can't remember. Even now, this song still makes me cry. Thanks again.

[revmanfriday]

Leczorn, if by "hook" you mean the syncopation of the instruments - man, that is the mother of all HOOKS!!!! What genius minds think of these kinds of musical movements?!!! Wow!

[leczorn]

I believe that the lead vocalist is Joe Pizzulo, who is also on "Never Gonna Let You Go" and "Alibis." I remember the late WKJJ in Louisvlle, Kentucky played "Rainbow's End" for a few months and I absolutely loved it. Just the kind of infectious hook that I miss and try to re-create! I wish Sergio had stayed longer with this style!

[ralgol]

wonderful music...¡

[KatradioNY]

Sergio Mendes was really onto something with this ENTIRE LP/CD..musically..lyrically and cut glass..rich production! Pop it in and listen the next time you fly! A favorite it is and will remain.

Thanks for posting!

[chitown37cat]

I LOVE THIS SONG... 1983..a junior in H.S. in Chicago...16 and hopelessly in love with love...i still have this Album. Serigo was eating a red pepper. WHY CAN'T I FIND THIS ON CD?

[bushmim]

@chitown37cat The same story... 1983, Preparatoria (H.S.) (Guadalajara, Jalisco, México)...16. And the same question: WHY CAN'T I FIND THIS SONG ON CD?

[shootersteve]

@chitown37cat Dude, I have it on CD. I found it about 15 years ago. Let me know and I'll burn you a copy and send it to you.

[ThirdTimeChangedKBA]

Who is singing this?

[icoipogi]

year when i was born!!!

love this song so much.. killer chords and groove..

[kentanedo]

I really love this song! It reminds me of my college friend, Louise!!

[Dashland13]

Beautiful song. I always loved this one. I always wondered why it was not more popular.

[castertunes1967]

it's been 26 years since I heard this great track..It was not around long but it was great! "Alibis" and "Never Gonna Let You Go" are also good.

[winrox16]

I love this song along with, Gino Vanelli's "I just want to stop" and, Ambrosia's " Biggest part of me"...its sooo good driving along Roxas Blvd...

[ralfiro]

I heard this song the first time in a radio station called 104.1 Jazz fm back in Mexico City in the early 80s where I used to lived I also love to hear this radio station day & night thats where I learned all the things I know about Jazz thanks to a guys who broadcasted such a nice type of JAZZ. Thank you Roberto Morales

[Deepwatermusic]

Thanks for posting this song!!!!! I can't seem to find this anywhere since it is out of print for some ridiculous reason.

[ulij20]

Great song! I remember hearing this from time to time on WTHQ (Now Sunny 101.5) in South Bend, back in the late summer of 1983. Sergio Mendes had several underrated hits in the mid-80s and this was indeed one of them. I also remember "Alibis" and "Real Life", both from 1984. Those are two lost gems.

[jeffrey64]

Thanks so much! i have searched for this album everywhere. Good looking out!

[corpsvalue]

Way underrated song. This should have been a bigger hit in the U.S. when it was released in 1983!

[RochesterCycling]

Holy crap, hearing this is like a time machine.

I was working at Stereo 100 (100.3 FM) in Marquette when this song came out. Suddenly, I'm transported back there making $2.60 an hour on weekends. Those days are long gone. Now I'm up to $2.70 after taxes.

[logan1966]

LOL !!!! you made a lot of progress...Can't be mad at you , you are doing .05 better than me.

[timmmahhhh]

@RochesterCycling LMAO! I was about to write the "holy crap" comment until I saw you beat me to it. Wow, forgot about this song, and I remember a lot of 80's songs. Time machine indeed!

[btnheazy03]

@RochesterCycling holy shit dude thats like a $0.005 raise every year

[max86max]

@RochesterCycling Luxury!!



[TypesALot]

@RochesterCycling - LOL!! Good ol' AM radio! I used to love this song, too. I dated a guy who worked at our local radio station and you outearned him by about 50-cents an hour!!

[gardabetbet]

yup, i thought so too..sounds like david pack. brilliant song!

[stamesaboy]

the first time i heard this song, i thought it's ambrosia and david pack sang it.

[aneef]

yeah, i thought so too, Dan Sembello sounds like david pack, and the arrangement of the music, too. great song.

[thehalla]

dan sembello is michael sembello's brother?

[inzane0488]

I really love this song!, I remember my first flight to the other country and this is one of the songs that i listen to while relaxing, i always remember that time every time i listen to this song :)

[fwdthinker]

I used to play this every morning on the way to work when I was about to quit my last job a few years ago.

My "Rainbows End" was my own business and per the words "I won't turn back again" - LOL!

[go27to]

Gooooood!

[ajerx]

great song. summer of 83.
