Does anyone have a chart for this? Thank you. Here’s a YouTube of it;

A chart is available here:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/202770612/Al-Jarreau-Songbook
(Starts on page 90)

Please use that chart to write an iRp chart and share it here.

It's easy to input a new song

You can use pause/play, pause/play step through it slowly.

If you have problems, post your work in progress here and describe the issue.

Can’t do it

Bob thanks for your reply. I started working using the chart you found. For me the experience is quite frustrating. The video is not helpful - to me. It goes by way too fast. Like trying to jump on a train that is going 80 mph. Stopping and starting it is incredibly difficult to be user friendly. I got about four bars into transcribing the chart, and once it switches to 3/4 and back to 4/4 I can’t get an even row of bars.. a hot mess.
Maybe you could put up another video using a ballad at like 76 bpm so this old fart could succeed at following it?
Hey I know a great tune to use.. (a rhyme) this time ! ( half joking)
I appreciate any assistance you could provide

Michael, you’re right, that's a tough tune to transcribe, especially as an initial effort. It's also a difficult tune for the iRp player because of the syncopations. But, you chose it. Next time, try to pick a song with fewer changes that's a little more "square”.

This is what I came up with:
