"Just Once" is a 1981 single released from Quincy Jones' album The Dude on A&M Records and written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. The song features James Ingram on vocals, and reached number 17 on the Billboard chart in the summer of 1981.
I'd already recorded a solo piano version of this song, but this one has an awesome MIDI track that is accompanying my playing, and it's pretty awesome. You can play along to this track using my sheet music arrangement but the last chord is Bb Major instead of B Major. Watch the solo piano version here: youtu.be/5P_8RrvWb6I

The song is composed originally in the key of C major. The bridge modulates to the key of A flat major, moves to B major, then to D major for the final chorus, finally ending in Bb major (the song's dominant chord) for the coda, representing the song's sad ending.
Again, no sheet music used for this - just my interpretation of listening to the song. I hope you enjoy it.
