So innovative, so technologically advanced for the mid 70`s, brilliant showman/entertainer and then you have the main instrument, the VOICE. Never so many gifts bestowed on one human being. Too musically creative to appeal to the masses. The bulk of society will never understand a musical genius like Gino Vanelli.

Peter if you ever read this. I agree 100 percent. I think it was his genius that was his torture. I was 14 years old at the time of this release and was told my taste too advanced for my age as Gino was too advanced for his time. I hope he has peace and found what he was looking for. Much love to the fans and Gino.

When my parents brought me to Canada I was twelve in 1976 and heard this on the car radio driving us to our new home, well I knew this was a country with some talent. Gino is effing magic he’s got groove

It's time for a Gino Vanelli UNSUNG episode.

This was Gino's first hit in the US...and the *FIRST* AMERICAN TELEVISION SHOW that he appeared on was *SOUL TRAIN* .

SO Canadian! 🇨🇦 💔

Best ever soul singer to ever come out of Montreal

I had a friend way back when and when we found out that we both LOVED Gino Vannelli the bond went next level. We'd sit around on a rainy weekend with a bottle of wine and sing his whole discography, gesticulations and all! lol

Saw him in New Orleans in 1979 and still one of the best concerts I have ever seen. His voice is still amazing.

I Love Gino's! Saw him in Pittsburgh in 78 or 79. Amazing Voice!

Makes you want to dance

i remember the music from the 70s as i was a teen. can you imagine something like this coming on the radio ? it was effortless to hear great music. Message intact, great arrangements, thought provoking lyrics and just a fantastic groove. no nostalgia here, i am recalling without peering through rose colored glasses. the music was just so damn good! all aboard my retro train back to the 70s...keep all shags & afros INSIDE the cabin space while in motion please.

People Gotta Move made for Soul Train infact made for everyday life part of life and so many things we gotta keep moving and exercise and that can't stop or freeze.Gino one of the first white guys to play on Soul Train before the Greats of the game Elton John and David Bowie and maybe a few others

It’s his first hit.Went to number 22 in 1974

what a fun production - nouveaux retro! he wrote some great tunes and his voice seems effortless. thanks for posting this!

Lord, the man is hotter than hell 🔥 Wonder why is not much more vids of him like this

I remember when he appeared on Soul Train, the first white person to do so. Good choice Mr. Cornelius.

Lekkere funky plaat uit de seventies.

Graham Lear the great on drums! Carlos Santana heard a Gino Vanelli song on the radio while on a flight during his 1975 tour and immediately set about finding a way to steal Graham for his band. He succeeded :) Graham was Santana's driving force behind the kit for 11 years between 1976-1987 before moving on to REO Speedwagon in 1987. Santana was never as good after that.
