"Powerfull People" is still my preferred Gino Vanelli album after 50 years. Still have the copy I bought in 1974 at age 12... Produced by Herp Albert, the recording and production is superb.
This is an important story of excellent logic, wisdom and prioritization, including the appropriate connecting necessity of a motorcycle. The album needed to be transported and in best style and long distance in haste. As motorcyclist and particular fan of those 70s albums, I can attest to the friend's overall decision making. More people need to know this story.
Gino Vannelli always had the best drummers on board. Being a drummer himself he was very demanding. Joe Vannelli is simply amazing. With his synth basses he has been the basis of this energetic and electrifying Vannelli sound.
Dire que ce thème de Gino Vannelli à 50 ans et oui il date de 1974 . Bon sang, son frère Joe aux claviers prend toujours autant de plaisir à le jouer . Un batteur ( Enzo Todesco ) disparu bien trop tôt malheureusement mais quel talent .
saw him also in the 70's in Rhode Island. Used all keyboards except the drummer ( Lear ? ) and the big Jamaican (?) guy on percussion.Concert started out with the curtain closed, then slowly opening all the while playing Love of my Life, Great performance, and a treasure to remember.
Saw him w Joe in ~1991 at the Ritz NYC…incredible…a bunch of us went to show as a touring Band that has a Grammy nomination under our belts …we were BLOWN AWAY by Gino and his Band.
At Green Valley Ranch Casino? If so, I was there, too! Incredible concert! Took me back to my college days where I first saw Gino on stage with a full orchestra. I thought he was the most beautiful and sexiest man I had ever seen. My mouth was open the entire night! I was enthralled. LOL.
Sushmita: it was during my College Years in the 70's when I heard this for the first time at a 'disco' and was totally taken away... everyone on the dance-floor enjoying the beats... the good old days - clean fun - no drugs - no fights - will never be the same... listening in September '24 'Powerful People' ❤ 🎉 ❤
I hadn't thought of this song in years. Was telling someone they had to move today and this song came to my mind. Now I remember why I really loved Gino's music!
Holy shit! You picked out the best parts! It’s like the drums and vocals prime me for that keyboard synth I just HAVE to hear!! The eargasms are just about incapacitating! 🎶😇🎵🔥❤️🔥
Saw him live in concert in 1979 . Have tickets to go see him in Clearwater in March and that's when the shutdown occurred. But it's all good ain't giving up my tickets!
Saw Gino in the 80s in Raleigh and then in Birmingham 2000. One of my favs! he and Joe are jsut so in sync. Also, Graham Lear on kit is JUST FLAWLESS~~~!! :)
Fantástico! 🎙 Vai completar 70 anos(16/06/2022), e continua nos presenteando com suas performances, belas músicas, e criações, um artista único... Fabuloso! O Brasil te ama Gino Vannelli 💖💕🇧🇷💕💖
Great Drummer , Great Pocket. His Solo had some David Garibaldi Phrasings going on. Very musical Solo!!! I had just read, that Enzo Passed away. Thats very sad to hear, may he Rest in Heavens
Let the man do his dances, let him be .... these are the 80s remember; many artists had their strange little dances those days.... Love the jazziness of the music, though
jjsiegal, thanks for saving me the trouble of looking up who the drummer was, wow! Enzo was amazing and this has to be the performance from the 'Live In Montreal' tour album. Saw this same line up on the last date of this tour at Prince's club Glam Slam in Minneapolis. Outstanding performance to say the least!

Mine too
@@marymartin5098 Mine three!
A friend rode his motorcycle half way across the country to bring me Gino's album in the mid 70s
That's a true friend!

I would hope you gave him at least some pizza and beer for his troubles.
Then again- enjoying great music is hardly trouble!
Gino Vannelli always had the best drummers on board. Being a drummer himself he was very demanding. Joe Vannelli is simply amazing. With his synth basses he has been the basis of this energetic and electrifying Vannelli sound.
It's because Gino was a drummer. Maurice White of EFW was a drummer too. Mark Craney was amazing on the Brother to Brother album
Joe Vannelli produced the latest 2 Tower of Power recordings and you can hear how some of this influence transferred. Soul Side of Town & Step Up
His band made him. I don't think he would have had the success he had without it.
@@davidbuffalo2425 he's had several different bands over the years and always sounds great
Best use of percussion, ever!
Short of Studio Drummers from Steely Dann.
Checkout 'Home At Last' & 'Boston Rag' by Steely Dann.
Easily one of Canada’s most important singer/songwriters of all time.🇨🇦

The late great Enzo Todesco. What a monster behind the drums!
Did he die?
@@johnz4412 Sadly, yes...
@@spiratustreviso9885 December, 2016.
Indeed a monster on the drums! Great sound as well!
Him and Mark. Wow Gino being originally a drummer wanted it right.
When laying down tracks he started with vocals. Next was drums.
Had to stop by to hear this amazingly gifted vocal artist: Gino! He always reminds me how young I still am at 67. ALWAYS. ❤️
Me too! I'm 66 this month and still love GINO!!
@@angel43057 March?!
The brothers Vannelli and their posse. Incredible.
What a damn voice on him…he’s still absolutely incredible!
damn voice so latino so good
Unbelievable Great Gino.. 👍
Just saw him in Annapolis. First time. Bliss! He sounds better than ever. Great band!
@@jillsalkin7389 Saw him in the 70s and twice in the last ten years..he is incredible and always the best musicians.
Saw Gino in Charlotte in 1979. To this day still the best concert I've ever seen.
saw him also in the 70's in Rhode Island. Used all keyboards except the drummer ( Lear ? ) and the big Jamaican (?) guy on percussion.Concert started out with the curtain closed, then slowly opening all the while playing Love of my Life, Great performance, and a treasure to remember.
It's pretty clear the guy knew how to work an audience. Always enjoyed his voice and playing his songs on the air.
he had great percussion in his music
Gorgio
Killer
Gino is simply sublime !!!!
Best Live Version VIDEO Ever w/ Great Sound Quality People Gotta Move 🎹 🎸🔥 Great Drums & Keyboards
Saw Gino Vanelli live in 1977 at 10 years old wish I could see him again. Amazing performer
Saw him w Joe in ~1991 at the Ritz NYC…incredible…a bunch of us went to show as a touring Band that has a Grammy nomination under our belts …we were BLOWN AWAY by Gino and his Band.
I just saw him for the first time, in September 2023, in Annapolis, and will see him again in NYC this June. Brilliant! Go wherever you can!
I'm so jealous!
As a drummer of all kinds of music I can safely that drummer is spot-on. Saw Gino twice in 40 years. Always great.
Enzo is one of the best dummers I've ever seen, God bless his soul. He gave many people so much entertainment by being so awesome.
Brother Joe nailing that keyboard!
I saw them a few years ago in Las Vegas. Holy shit... what a show. As a drummer... i was blown away.
At Green Valley Ranch Casino? If so, I was there, too! Incredible concert! Took me back to my college days where I first saw Gino on stage with a full orchestra. I thought he was the most beautiful and sexiest man I had ever seen. My mouth was open the entire night! I was enthralled. LOL.
Gino had so much POON at his concerts !! Great voice.
The floors were probably soaked by the concert’s end. 😯😆
So glad that Gino's dance moves have improved over the years
And Enzo is phenomenal on drums!!!
Grande gino tu musica me a acompañado toda la vida maestro!
Gino es siempre el mismo....grande,buenos músicos,sonido,canciones,todoooo..
Así es...
Never seen Gino rock out on the skins like that! No wonder his drummers are always tops!
Gino started off as a drummer in his youth.
@@TheOwl Very true.
This drummer kicks ass on this song. Thank you for posting. This is my favorite version of this song.
A fantastic piece of music that makes u do , his best piece in his catalog to my mind 🎶📌☮️
🤗♥️🤗Will listen to this while building my body's muscles mass🤗♥️🤗
Gino, at his very best, I think he gets better with age.
Like a fine wine. 🍷
Brother Joe is simply amazing, I always loved his synth's. Groundbreaking mid '70's
Joe really musically held that group together .
20 years ahead of his time .
Wow!!
yeah the synths were soi cool
BEST version of this song!!! The band and Gino are at 11!!!!
art jazz g. vannelli
Mike Miller on the guitar. This was a great band.
Gino on the drums too WOW love it!!!’
one of the all time great singers and band leaders
So proud to be a Canadian with people like Gino in the hood..and yes..I gotta move when this is playing..🇨🇦
Lol! I love Vanelli, but my pride must be earned. Also a Canucklehead. 😆

Immer noch genial, auch nach so vielen Jahren!!!
Excelente
Don't know how RUclips got me here, but this is tight. Music of my late teens.
I hadn't thought of this song in years. Was telling someone they had to move today and this song came to my mind. Now I remember why I really loved Gino's music!
Love this... gotta move.. drums ass kicking
Awesome singer artist.
Great drummer
Oh to be in the presence of this incredible musicianship...
Just brilliant stuff 😎
Badass Synth Bass & Synth Brass...Ultra Energetic. That is Joe Vannelli on keys and perhaps Graham Lear on Drums.

Enzo on drums. Was at this show. Spoke to Enzo Todesco after show. Met Gino years later. Great genius of an artist!
Yeah, Enzo Todesco...I saw him in Madrid in 90s, perfect like a robot but so musically!
I saw them 3 times and graham Lear on drums , joe on keys , Richard Baker on keys
If you see him again, please tell him I wanna marry him !!! Always and forever !!! 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰💜💋🙏
This music is so much fun to hear! I always feel uplifted after hearing Gino Vanelli and whatever band is playing with him.
This is still my go-to song.
Mucha buena música diossssss 👏👏👏😘
Grandissimo Enzo Todesco. Riposa in pace sei nel mio cuore.
Tout le groupe est génial, singer, drummer, synth bass, ...:) #JazzRock
The smile on Joe's face at 1:55 through 2:08 after Enzo kills the fills is irreplaceable...Love you Enzo
Holy shit! You picked out the best parts! It’s like the drums and vocals prime me for that keyboard synth I just HAVE to hear!! The eargasms are just about incapacitating! 🎶😇🎵🔥❤️🔥
This band absolutely cooks!! I really believe some of the audience was dead!!
dead and they didnt even know it
You’d think the music would liven up that dead crowd! 🤣🤣🤣
Musico brillante profesional voz divina melodias inolvidables gracias Sonia Guerrero Nielsen desde Argentina
Yeah!! What a drummer!!!! Wow
LOVE THIS MUSIC!!
Saw him live in concert in 1979 . Have tickets to go see him in Clearwater in March and that's when the shutdown occurred. But it's all good ain't giving up my tickets!
Ma vi rendete conto di come suonava Enzo Todesco... Tutte le volte che lo ascolto rimango sempre incantato... R. I. P. Enzo ci manchi
Saw Gino in the 80s in Raleigh and then in Birmingham 2000. One of my favs! he and Joe are jsut so in sync. Also, Graham Lear on kit is JUST FLAWLESS~~~!! :)
That back-and-forth between drums and keyboard starting at about 1:38-man, what skill and energy!
Bravo
Quelle voix gino vanelli....❤
Carajo..yo tenia ese cd y le saqué lo máximo escuchandolo.. Excelente sonido.
