The head of the song does not have an improvised part and indicates that the beginning and the ending has the same melody structure. Moreover, it repeats the same combination of rhythm in order to have the well-structured melody. The first and the last tune of the song gives the feeling that the song is properly framed.
The introduction of the song is typical for the jazz song. There is an instrumental introduction without words. This beginning lasts approximately 10 seconds, though; it is enough to cover the listeners with the intrigue and special jazz style. The singing in the very beginning is light and relaxing, though, is developing during the whole song.
Since the song ‘Never Will I Marry’ is a jazz song, it goes without saying that there is an element of the solo in the song. The improvised melody of the saxophone provides the listeners with the atmosphere of jazz and makes them dive into the times of jazz and its first stages. Though the saxophone solo melody is typical for jazz, the song sounds better with the presence of this solo melody. The solo is rhythmical but still has the elements of unexpected but light melodies and sounds. The presence of this solo is harmonic to the whole composition. Additionally, this part of the song makes the song imbued with the tonal richness and complexity.
The ending of the song is the most powerful part since Nancy Wilson demonstrates the power and strength of her voice. She ends the song with her voice solo holding it on the sane note. This trick provides the audience with the extraordinary aftertaste. Her rich voice holds the listeners’ attention during the whole song. However, the ending part with the voice solo makes the listeners remember and love this song, and admire the complexity of the usual jazz song and richness of the voice.
