Oui, son niveau musical est vraiment énorme, je viens d'Argentine, personne ne le connaît ici, et peu de gens dans le monde le connaissent, mais c'est vraiment l'un des meilleurs musiciens du monde, avec sa mystique, son côté unique et spécial façon, il est vraiment incroyable votre niveau
I'M ~AFRICAN AMERICAN~, AND GREW UP WITH THIS MAN'S MUSIC AND INTRODUCED MY 2 GROWN CHILDREN TO HIS MUSIC, WE LOVE HIM ❤️, MR. GINO VANELLI. MAKES LOVE WORTH LIVING ❤️ AND KEEPING ❤️ ❤
Up to 4 weeks ago I had NEVER heard of Gino Vanelli. I am an electronics musician. I came across him on a random music ad. Since then I have began to review music. He IS an absolute game changer for me. What an absolute genius. And the horrible thing is, he was Never recognised as such by the public at large. What about injustice
I heard him in 1975 while in Montreal he made such an impression on me I stayed in Montreal hoping to meet him. I was playing with several bands finally met some who knew him and some who played with him anyway his cousin Rick Vanelli played in a band I joined. Still I never got to meet him he was a rising star and hard to track down. I made all my friends love him hehe
May I recommend Gino's Vanelli "Brother to Brother Live" with his brother Joe on keyboard. Watch and listen to this video with Good headphones and no distractions. Let me know what you think...
Awesome yes, but the term “musical genius” is inappropriate and used far too often these days to describe very talented musicians whose work simply doesn’t merit the term......Mozart, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Einstein...Geniuses ALL without a doubt....Gino Vannelli will never be mentioned in the same category 2 or 3 centuries from now.

In 1975 I was in Canada playing with a band and one of them introduced me to the Storm at Sunup album. My whole band were just blown away by the album; this was music like we'd never heard back in the UK. It was on the turntable so much that, when we left to go home, I had to buy a new copy for the guy whose original album I'd pretty much worn out. Phenominal stuff, still sounds brilliant and fresh almost 50 years later...
Canadian Drummer Paul Brochu, who played with UZEB as well, (and many others) ... Gino has always put an emphasis on finding extraordinary talent, especially drummers, and it's just one more reason to love his music - awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing!
I was enjoying his excellent music on high end audio systems in the 70's when my friends were all blasting Led Zeppelin. Saw him in Atlanta once back then too.
An incredible singer-vocalist who works with brilliantly talented musicians. I have been a fan since I heard the 'Storm At Sunup' album back in 1975. He is so good live in concert.
I was and I am a fan!!! I saw him in concert in Miami (about 3 times) I felt in love with his voice, style...and look when I saw him in Soul Train many years ago..he is still the greatest!!!!
Hey my brothers! Love Gino from the beginning til now 2019! Saw hime live at the beacon in Manhattan yup im a drummer i have all his albums also live Rush and Dream Theatre Long live Mr Vanelli !
Bought this album in 1975 - it was such a new and fresh addition to mainstream pop, and it quickly surpassed it into new jazz. So well written, composed, recorded, and performed. Saw Gino perform Pauper in Paradise tour live - so well performed.
Yes that's the year 1975 I landed in Montreal Gino' s city I bought this album then went back and bought Crazy Life & People Gotta Move I'm forever a fan
I saw that concert @ The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. I was in the first row. It was amazing! I have seen Gino 5 times. Please come back to 🇨🇦 Gino. We love you❤
Love this! First introduced to Gino by loving the song, "I gotta keep walking". I purchased the album, "storm at sunup" and its been my pleasure choice for driving, cleaning, romantic times and late night relaxation when the world has been more than I can handle. Id pack this and a stevie wonder album for any trip im on. Thank you sir for being a huge part of my life for nearly 50 years. "Where am I going"?
My god, quite possibly one of the best songs ever written, and the live performance is off the chart. Less than 12 hours from now I'll be fortunate enough to see the man perform for his birthday celebration in New Orleans, the city that really launched his career (his words), thats why he's graced our city seven times so far.
I actually saw this ensemble with da vinci. When he did his first appearance in the united states after the clive davis mess. . .what an incredible sound and truly one of the great musical geniuses of ANY age or era...
Albums , Storm at sunup , the gist of the Gemini , mardi gras. Brother to brother , powerful people , nightwalker Had all these in album form ... purchased cd versions ... crazy life was the first I got ... sounds perfect live and I mean perfect ... I have perfect pitch so , so sometimes unfortunate ... but not with this artist and his band .... perfect sound every time Always in command on stage ... like a conductor 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️☮️🥁🎸🥁🎸🥁
I saw Gino live in 1975 in Berkeley, Ca and was invited backstage after the show. Very memorable. Too bad I was a broke ass college student and couldn't afford a camera!
Oh yes cant wait to see my friend again in Oct. at The Civic Theater in New Orleans. Nobody love Gino like New Orleans, thats why he celebrates his birthday here.
Began listening to Gino in the early 70's when all my buddies were into Southern Rock. Have only seen him once, Charlotte 1979, it's still hands down the best concert I've ever seen. Amazing talent and terrific human being to boot.
Too few know or appreciate his Mastery... Gino is also a pianist, guitarist and drummer ( along with all his amazing vocals, writing, arranging, etc...) GINO !!!
I grew up with this mans' music. My introduction was on Soul Train , summer of 1973...Don Cornelius was the host and the creator. I was mesmerized by his artistry and I still am. Thank you Mr. Vannelli. My only question is that on the ginov website there documentation of his first performance on American Bandstand which was after the Soul Train appearance...no mention pictorial or otherwise of his maiden performance on Soul Train. Additionally..I attended a live performance in Detroit in 2015...magnificent!
In 1977 You played at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle Pa. My first time seeing You The concert was so. Awesome My cousin is JUNIOR MARAPESE was there I didn't get to see him. The next morning He took his own life!!
GINO VANNELLI Nació en Montreal, Quebec, Canadá, comenzó su carrera artística junto a sus dos hermanos, Joe Vannelli (tecladista y arreglista), y Ross Vannelli (guitarrista y compositor de canciones para el cine y la televisión), con quienes conformó una banda de “Rhythm and blues”, durante la década del '60. Su padre, era un músico de gran banda. De niño, la mayor pasión de Gino era la música, y comenzó a tocar la percusión a una edad temprana. A la edad de 15 años, Vannelli comenzó a escribir canciones. Al salir de la escuela secundaria, firmó su primer contrato de grabación con RCA bajo el seudónimo “Vann Elli”. Estudió teoría de la música en la Universidad McGill, pero no sería sino hasta 1970 que encararía una trayectoria solista grabando para la A&M Records. Bajo la producción del trompetista Herb Alpert, lanzaría al mercado su primer LP, "Crazy Life" (1973), a partir del cual se sucederían con algunos altibajos una decena de discos. Gino Vannelli es conocido mayormente por algunos hits que podrían incluirse dentro del género denominado "música pop", (Sólo quiero detenerme, Duele estar enamorado, Autos negros, entre otros), pero ha navegado por toda clase de vertientes musicales, destacándose particularmente en el jazz, la música que gustaba Russ su padre, quien influyó en ese aspecto. Cada obra de Vanelli en su estilo (pop, mélodico, jazz o lírico), se destaca por ser el resultado de un riguroso trabajo melódico, armónico y rítmico, y un producto claramente identificable de su autor. Durante 2007, Vannelli desarrolló una intensa labor junto al pianista de jazz Michiel Borstlap, con quien realizó una serie de conciertos en vivo y para la televisión en varios países del continente europeo. Desde el año 2008 trabaja en compañía del pianista Bert Van den Brink. El 13 de febrero de 2009 Gino lanzó al mercado dos obras: su libro de poesía y un CD titulado "A Good Thing" que contiene 9 pistas y 23 poemas. Con su nuevo grupo holandés al que se incorpora el gran guitarrista Allen Hinds, logra destapar su "tarro de las esencias" hasta los límites del sonido que viene desarrollando hace más de treinta años. De esta manera, mantiene el carácter íntimo de sus composiciones. Instrumentalmente el disco es rico en matices jazzísticos, caso por ejemplo del tema "A Good Thing". Vannelli también ha participado en trabajos junto a músicos notables, como Montserrat Caballé, Rok Golob, Martine St. Clair, Manuel Mijares, Billy Cobham, Alejandro Lerner, Luis Alberto Spinetta, entre otros. Es importante mencionar, que “Vannelli” se ha convertido en uno de los íconos del Jazz-rock, en virtud de los arreglos orquestales efectuados por su hermano Ross y su potente voz, capaz de recorrer varias escalas, con la técnica propia de este virtuoso de la música moderna.

Aw, nah...not really...if it's him, we went to HS together, just remember him being a really nice guy, lotta laughs, but that was 100 years ago. Just remembered the name...thx...
Storm @ SunUp. One of the best albums ever recorded
One day perhaps the rest of the world will come to realize what we've known and loved for nearly 50 years now, which is, of course, that Gino Vannelli is a musical genius who has always operated at a level so far beyond anyone else it's difficult to classify him in any one particular group or style, he, and his group are just simply light-years above and beyond all others! He and his music was the soundtrack of my youth, and I thank him and God for it!
Are Ya Listenin?
I'm listenin' and have been sine 1976. The musicianship is superb and beyond anything we hear today. Wow, just totally wow xx
Just discovered it. Gonna be my life's soundtrack also !
Oui, son niveau musical est vraiment énorme, je viens d'Argentine, personne ne le connaît ici, et peu de gens dans le monde le connaissent, mais c'est vraiment l'un des meilleurs musiciens du monde, avec sa mystique, son côté unique et spécial façon, il est vraiment incroyable votre niveau
I'd name his phenomenal music as Power Jazz or Powerful Jazz!
Sure as hell am!

There will never be another Gino....A musical genius...
Angie Williams yes true he's so great and gorgeous
Awesome yes, but the term “musical genius” is inappropriate and used far too often these days to describe very talented musicians whose work simply doesn’t merit the term......Mozart, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Einstein...Geniuses ALL without a doubt....Gino Vannelli will never be mentioned in the same category 2 or 3 centuries from now.
Don't forget his brother Joe, who plays a huge role in shaping the "Vannelli sound."
@@petergeorgemusic Shakespeare ? never heard any tracks by that dude. Not Einstien either
@@borgullet3376 We’re talking about the category of “Genius” being used...it’s irrelevant what field....
Gino: Innovative, creative
Yes, not a Genius that will go down in the annals of history in the field of Music.....sorry he does not rate with Mozart, Beethoven et al

Phenominal stuff, still sounds brilliant and fresh almost 50 years later...
It does. Played my original the other day. Still amazing!
Everyone gets to shine in Gino's band! The band is as important as Gino's performance and vocals. Perfection!
Thank you for your sincere compliment and your love, I am not complete without you as my fan, for whom I must be very grateful
Otmaro Ruiz on piano is outstanding
Still crushed by this performance. Gino is of course one of if not the best artists of our time, and this band is as tight as they come
You means, his bands. His numerous musicians would fill a small theater. Every tour they are all new players.
Canadian Drummer Paul Brochu, who played with UZEB as well, (and many others) ... Gino has always put an emphasis on finding extraordinary talent, especially drummers, and it's just one more reason to love his music - awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing!
I was enjoying his excellent music on high end audio systems in the 70's when my friends were all blasting Led Zeppelin. Saw him in Atlanta once back then too.
The rest of the musical world still hasn't caught up with this track released almost 40 years ago.
You nail it there my brother
The rest of the music world will never catch up. It took a few wrong turns a long time ago, and continues to do so...
Casparus Kruger , l love love this man , and This is my favorite song of all time.
Casparus Kruger - I certainly did ! I was 24 . San Diego
Terri Nelson - “now that you see, me man that is me...”
I've been a fan since the early 70's. Excellent! 😊
There are times when words don’t suffice. This is one of them!
An incredible singer-vocalist who works with brilliantly talented musicians. I have been a fan since I heard the 'Storm At Sunup' album back in 1975. He is so good live in concert.
My god, Last Friday for his birthday celebration in New Orleans, Gino opened with this tagged to Fly Into This Night...it was jaw dropping!!!!
Gino has always had a special affinity with New Orleans. Many great times spent with good friends he made back in the 70’s, in “The Big Easy.” 🎭
I was and I am a fan!!! I saw him in concert in Miami (about 3 times) I felt in love with his voice, style...and look when I saw him in Soul Train many years ago..he is still the greatest!!!!
Gino always has a great set of talented musicians behind him!
He is such a superstar, he lets his band breeeeathe the fresh air of sound. Incredible arranger man.
MY FAVORITE GINO VANNELLI NUMBER! BETTER THAN EVEN "BROTHER TO BROTHER!!"
Wow! Gino is in a class all by himself! His beautiful voice blesses my very soul.
Thanks for your love and support. I'm blown away by the love from you. Fans like you are the reason we keep moving
Hey my brothers! Love Gino from the beginning til now 2019! Saw hime live at the beacon in Manhattan yup im a drummer i have all his albums also live Rush and Dream Theatre Long live Mr Vanelli !
Joe Morello on drums, what a drummer this man
Bought this album in 1975 - it was such a new and fresh addition to mainstream pop, and it quickly surpassed it into new jazz. So well written, composed, recorded, and performed. Saw Gino perform Pauper in Paradise tour live - so well performed.
James Trusler - how old were you in 75 ?
It’s about that time that I discovered Gino! In San Diego 💕 such a vibrato ! Such lyrics !
Yes that's the year 1975 I landed in Montreal Gino' s city I bought this album then went back and bought Crazy Life & People Gotta Move I'm forever a fan
Gino Vannelli is Roman God with a fabulous voice that resonates. I have loved him and his brilliant music since the early seventies. He is phenomenal!
Probably my favorite Vanelli piece. Still gives me goosies.
God damn.....fantastic......i just got here......Gino forever more....period.
I love you Gino ❤❤❤

Just an unbelievable expression on the song live, and I've seen Gino 6 times starting in 1969
That Drum-solo is phenomenal!!! Amazingly superb!!!!

GINO VANNELLI
Nació en Montreal, Quebec, Canadá, comenzó su carrera artística junto a sus dos hermanos, Joe Vannelli (tecladista y arreglista), y Ross Vannelli (guitarrista y compositor de canciones para el cine y la televisión), con quienes conformó una banda de “Rhythm and blues”, durante la década del '60. Su padre, era un músico de gran banda. De niño, la mayor pasión de Gino era la música, y comenzó a tocar la percusión a una edad temprana. A la edad de 15 años, Vannelli comenzó a escribir canciones. Al salir de la escuela secundaria, firmó su primer contrato de grabación con RCA bajo el seudónimo “Vann Elli”.
Estudió teoría de la música en la Universidad McGill, pero no sería sino hasta 1970 que encararía una trayectoria solista grabando para la A&M Records. Bajo la producción del trompetista Herb Alpert, lanzaría al mercado su primer LP, "Crazy Life" (1973), a partir del cual se sucederían con algunos altibajos una decena de discos.
Gino Vannelli es conocido mayormente por algunos hits que podrían incluirse dentro del género denominado "música pop", (Sólo quiero detenerme, Duele estar enamorado, Autos negros, entre otros), pero ha navegado por toda clase de vertientes musicales, destacándose particularmente en el jazz, la música que gustaba Russ su padre, quien influyó en ese aspecto.
Cada obra de Vanelli en su estilo (pop, mélodico, jazz o lírico), se destaca por ser el resultado de un riguroso trabajo melódico, armónico y rítmico, y un producto claramente identificable de su autor.
Durante 2007, Vannelli desarrolló una intensa labor junto al pianista de jazz Michiel Borstlap, con quien realizó una serie de conciertos en vivo y para la televisión en varios países del continente europeo. Desde el año 2008 trabaja en compañía del pianista Bert Van den Brink.
El 13 de febrero de 2009 Gino lanzó al mercado dos obras: su libro de poesía y un CD titulado "A Good Thing" que contiene 9 pistas y 23 poemas.

Vannelli también ha participado en trabajos junto a músicos notables, como Montserrat Caballé, Rok Golob, Martine St. Clair, Manuel Mijares, Billy Cobham, Alejandro Lerner, Luis Alberto Spinetta, entre otros.
Es importante mencionar, que “Vannelli” se ha convertido en uno de los íconos del Jazz-rock, en virtud de los arreglos orquestales efectuados por su hermano Ross y su potente voz, capaz de recorrer varias escalas, con la técnica propia de este virtuoso de la música moderna.
