The male background singer is Gino's younger brother Ross (who co-wrote this song,) & the guy on keyboards is Gino's older brother Joe. Gino's first American appearance on TV was Soul Train. Stevie Wonder was so impressed by his music that he opened for him on one of his tours in the 70s.
I’ve been listening to Gino Vannelli since 1976. He’s from a very musical family, and all in his brothers are all in the business. He’s Italian, but he’s definitely not mob. He’s done pop, jazz, classical and Americana/country. He just turned 72, and his voice is stillamazing. He still has his fro but it’s much shorter now! Any work you find of his is definitely worth a listen. Thanks so much for reacting to one of my favorite artists.
I had the biggest crush on him as a teenager in the 70's. His voice is Everything and not bad on the eyes. I seen him on Soul Train too. At that time this young sister was mesmerized 😂❤ They don't make beautiful songs like this anymore.
Gino Vanelli is a bad dude! "Brother to Brother", "The Wheels of Life", "People Gotta Move", "I Feel Like Flying" just a few of his jams. Kinda jazzy, kinda R&B. Gino is different.
@andaisshadows5285 The drummer on "Brother to Brother" is like a machine! So precise and perfect throughout the whole song. Top flight musicianship was always guaranteed with Gino's music.
Gino Vannelli is one of the least known Canadian artists. I'm 65 and I purchased this album the year it came out. What a blast from the past. Thanks for the memories gentlemen. Peace, Calvin.
Way back when, I followed Gino throughout the MIdwest, trying to see every concert possible. He has a brilliant collection of songs. Suggest a (much) deeper dive into the Gino pool.
I love, love, LOVE Gino Vannelli ever since I was a child and knew nothing about what nights could be in Montreal or anywhere else. He is wonderful and his catalog is deep.
Everything Gino has done is a masterpiece. Be sure to check out the title single "Brother to Brother" -- at the time Gino's brothers Joe and Ross were in the band. Also check out the album "Yonder Tree" - "Jehovah and All That Jazz"....or any cut on the album.
He was invited on Soul Train by Don Cornelius. Gino told him, “You know I’m white. What if they don’t like me?” Don answered, “They’ll like you. Well; I consider you off-white.” You just gotta love Don.❤❤❤
You must check out this video, Gino Vannelli "Brother To Brother" LIVE World Tour 1979 New Orleans BTB. Gino always has the best musicians and backing vocals. He literally becomes the music.
This is called Brown Eyed Soul, he’s Italian and that’s why it’s called that just like the Young Rascals back in the 60’s that made Groovin. Check that out.
Canadians honestly have some real jams if you care to go looking for them. This one is perhaps one of my favourites of Gino's, but check out _Wheels of Life_ and _Living Inside Myself_ for more. He's another Herb Alpert "discovery" (or rather Gino made sure Herb discovered him). It's quite the story. Thanks for the fun reaction, fellas.
You have just discovered one the greatest ..You need to listen to Brother to Brother album and what ever else like People Gotta Move and he was on Soul Train a few times as well..

The entire album, Brother to Brother, is a masterpiece. It's absolutely amazing. I highly encourage you all to listen.
Gino Vannelli is the sexiest, most awesome, smooth voiced devil since Tom Jones. Wow!

Also "Living Inside Myself" was another big hit.
yep classy song
I had forgotten how good Gino Vanelli is. Another great Canadian talent.
Gino's the man.
People Gotta Move is another banger.
I LOVED THAT
We knew how to make music in the 70s!
Yes! Beautiful time back then.

Great song. Another gem is Living Inside Myself 🔥

“Living Inside Myself” is another beauty from Gino!
This is one of those songs that I can play over and over and still feels fresh. It’s got pure soul.
Black Cars is one of my faves by him. Great Voice!
Rush, BTO and now Gino. Loving your Canadian content!
Cheers ❤🇨🇦
Right on. Triumph, April Wine, Celine Dion, and The Guess Who are the other notable mentions.
Yeah Black Cars was really big in Canada......i thought it would have done better in the States......this here song is a classic
I worked on yhe assembly line in Detroit in the 70's. Cars came down the line and the radio had this on. Everyone was singing this.
My favorite performer in high school in 1971-72! Great albums and I had them all.
At the first chord, Corey loved it!!!! Yes!!!!! I love this song since It’s release in the 70’s! ✌️
Two Words......."Black Cars"....check it out one of Gino's best!!!!!!One of Canada's Best Singers!
I love that whole album. Hurts to Be In Love, Black Cars, the whole freaking thing. I still have my cassette tape of that album.
Black Cars??? That's like saying you love watching Barry Sanders especially when the QB passes to the tight end every play.
Gino Vannelli is a gem. Thank you guys!!!
YES!!! Love how you loved this one! One of the greatest Yscht Rock smooth Jams ever!!!!! 🛥️🛥️🛥️
This isn't yacht rock 😅

Most Gino songs are sensual and smooth! A great talent for Canada.
For us in the 70s it was simply top 40 radio.
Oh man! This song is fire to me! Great reaction and bringing back memories of high school!!
His hair is gorgeous and he STILL has a head full. I saw a concert he did on PBS and he looked AND sounded good and his hair was STILL on point!!!
You should listen to "Living Inside Myself".
Yessss
You need to check out the whole album " Brother to Brother".It's one of the best sounding produced albums from the '70s.Absolute classic.
He's from Montreal
This song radiated the halls of our home growing up. Love that my parents had such eclectic taste in music.
Great voice
One of my favorite songs of the 1970s--nice to see you guys react to it. Not many reactors have discovered Gino.
I love, love, LOVE Gino Vannelli ever since I was a child and knew nothing about what nights could be in Montreal or anywhere else. He is wonderful and his catalog is deep.
Keep On Walking by Gino Vanelli is my JAM!
Wheels Of Life by Gino
Canadian royalty, great reaction.
He has many great tracks and albums
Wheels of life

"I Just Want to Stop" and tell you how much I love your reaction!!
Bought this album when I was in college. Sexy voice! He's in his 70's now and still touring.
First time I heard this in a long time I loved this song
Loved your reaction guys. Gino still sounds amazing. Saw him live. Always has top notch musicians and backup vocals.
I remember him singing this song on Soul Train!
Backing vocal amazing
Fantastic!
I remember seeing him perform this song on Soul Train when I was a kid. Yes, Soul Train 🙂
Gino was the bomb! And so easy on the eyes too!! Sigh! 😍
I remember this one... still sounds good.
My fav artist back in the day. Try Fly Into This Night by Gino. We are the same age-always loved Gino.
Haven't seen you in a while. I LOVED Gino's Vanelli he has a library to choose from
This was a Big song back in the day. I was Fan of his voice and music!😊
He was invited on Soul Train by Don Cornelius. Gino told him, “You know I’m white. What if they don’t like me?” Don answered, “They’ll like you. Well; I consider you off-white.” You just gotta love Don.❤❤❤
You just stumbled into greatness gentlemen. Gino always recorded and toured with Top Shelf musicians.
This is a great song, remember it well.👍👏👏👏💙💙💙
Always, loved this song.
Hey, don't knock the hairy chest!! Women love it including myself! Especially back in the 70's! Love, your channel guy's 👍❤
Back in the Seventies, Montreal was the place to be! One of my friends grew up on the same street as Gino!
Brilliant choice - outstanding live performance
Gino's song "people gotta move" was the R&B jam back in the day! . And "Jojo" is a smooth Groove😉👍
It’s just good. This is a favorite jam of my family.
First concert I attended was Gino Vannelli. ♥
Man these were the best days by far
Have LOVED THIS SONG: for a very long time!! SO, SO GOOD!!! ENJOY, GENTLEMEN!!! :)
When I want to tell my hubby how much I love him...I sing him this song.....daily.
Love that!
You must check out this video, Gino Vannelli "Brother To Brother" LIVE World Tour 1979 New Orleans BTB. Gino always has the best musicians and backing vocals. He literally becomes the music.
He's from my home town Montreal. Amazing singer. You should listen to Black Cars. Another one of his big hits 🇨🇦
Heard him just a few years ago and still sounding great 💚🎶🎵
His audiences at his show were 70-80% black.. and he was on Soul Train
This song was huge.
The fall of 1978... Treasured memories!!
Love this song from back in the day. Hey he looks like he belongs in Pirates of the Carribean. 🤣🤣🤣
Too Good -
I love this song and Gino's strong voice. Would you call this a Power Ballad?
This is so smooth 🔥🔥
so smoooooth
There is two of Ginos brothets in the group cause they look like him.
My Friend Gino.... a friend and voice that is timeless.
He's such a good singer. I forgot about that song. Thanks for brining it back to me.
This is called Brown Eyed Soul, he’s Italian and that’s why it’s called that just like the Young Rascals back in the 60’s that made Groovin. Check that out.
He and his brothers (the piano player and the male background singer) were a production monster team from Canada in the early 1980's ...
Lotsa babies made to this tune
Aerosmith- sweet emotion, one of their best songs!! Funky rock- you can’t handle the funk in the rock
Beautiful song ❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕
He sounds same live as on his records.👍🏼🎤🎤❤
Troy! Steelers! Great Hair Yes
IT'S SOUL
Love this song !!

Gino had great backup singers on all his songs. Try Fly Into this Night or the River Must Flow.
Gino Vannelli was the first white singer to appear on Soul Train
Elton John was when he sang Bennie in the Jets
@@tyehodge4075no. Dennis Coffey was. But his song was an Instrumental - Scorpio.
David Bowie did it in 75
17 May 1975 Elton John
Gino was *one* of the first. Dennis Coffey was actually the first, playing his instrumental hit “Scorpio” as sukie584 mentioned above.
You have just discovered one the greatest ..You need to listen to Brother to Brother album and what ever else like People Gotta Move and he was on Soul Train a few times as well..
This is just (I can't swear) quality 👌🏻🔥
Brings back memories I went to go make myself a drink, lol
Love this song!! Gino was amazing!!
