Graham Lear on drums ladies and gents!

“Brother to Brother” is THE quintessential Gino Vanelli song you need to hear. It’s an epic ride with transitions, guitar, synth, bass & drum solos.

“Feel like flying” is also a great song

Great choice. Gino is like his own genre of music. It's a little Jazz, a little R&B, a little bit of Soul, a little Latin inspired and Classical. And that VOICE!!! Man if I could sing like Gino, no lady would be safe!

Your description is on the mark..

I have followed Gino for over 50 years and actually met him and never fail to see him when he comes to Cleveland. He has been my greatest inspiration in my musical career and is an artist who follows no one. It's good to see him appreciated by your generation. You've got good taste.

Interesting story on how he got is start. He jumped the gate at A&M records and was chased by security trying to give Herb Alpert (artist and music producer) his demo tape. And boom, record deal. That’s how you get’r done.

And actually Herb Alpert plays the trumpet in this song.

Keep in mind he wrote and arranged and performed this album when he was 23 years old! His true masterpiece was Gist of the Gemini and Pauper in Paradise!

Dude, it's about time. Gino Vannelli. Yeah

Love some Gino. Good pic man. He’s got a song called I just wannna stop that’s w classic And Brother to Brother dude is a great singer

Great song to hear again! Gino's brother Joe, plays the keyboards; a Rhodes and a Wurly 'lectric pianos, and a big Korg modular synth. Their group has a fantastic sound, and Gino's singing is amazing. They had a coupla catchy radio hit songs you've probably heard. "People Gotta Move"... "I Just Wanna Stop"... "Livin' Inside Myself"...

One of the most incredible artists of our time!

I have been a huge fan of Gino Vannelli since the first time I heard him 1974 I even had the privilege of seeing him in person and every one of his songs is dynamic and takes you away

Underrated artist , been around a long time.

Yeah, definitely not underrated. Perhaps not as well known as he deserves. But among the greats of his generation...

I just want to stop was my favorite song of Gino's music. My brothers in-law who are musicians love him and turned me on to him.

Now do "Where Am I Going?" off of that same LP. Graham Lear is my fav drummer. He went to Santana after his stint with Gino. I saw Gino on the Brother to Brother tour. The ladies were wild for him.

I thought I was the only one in the world who loved Gino.

I'm here as well. Fan since the 70s.

For anyone reading this, and especially those who love opera that is rock, or rock that is opera, sung in Italian, Canto is the album that you need to listen to; it is Pavarotti, and Bocelli meets Vannelli. Incredible vocals, incredible orchestration. amazing, overwhelming, outstanding.

Later in his life he trained in opera in Europe for 2 years just to expand himself. Performed as well in productions.

Gino is the greatest. I found him when I was 24 and between him and the late Al Jarreau they did more for my vocals than anyone ever. They were my teachers. Now I am 70 and still love both.

I hope you'll do more of Gino Vannelli. He made lots of great (and completely unhip) records in the 70s. That guy could sing back then and he still has the same voice 50 years later (incredible but true). The song 'People Gotta Move' should be your next stop. His brother Joe was his musical partner and keyboardist.

I just wanna stop is my FAVORITE living inside myself is GOOD also!!!

Bellissimo pezzo di Gino. Bravo.

My guy!!!!!see this is why I like your channel 👍 Gino and joe master musicians.check out The song where am I going by Gino 💥💥💥💥

Gino Vanelli is one of the best composers, arranger and vocalist.

Song synopsis: He saw. He hit. And he left. ✌🏽 Gino 4ever!!

Full of mystery and tension/release. Ear candy and virtuoso playing. Just an amazing gem.

Gino, Gino, Gino! Storm at Sunup is his first album whole thing is awesome.

Gino Vannelli - Brother to Brother ( Live Montreal 1991 ) - will change the way you look at pop music forever!

Wilburn Reactions : NEVER have I seen a reaction like this by you before. Its like hearing the truth . This album was released in 1975 ! 47 years ago. So glad to see how you reacted to it . Give " The Surest Things Can Change " a reaction. Love your style .

It's the chords, the chords, the CHORDS, man. This is where Gino tops them all and is in a land of his own--the CHORDS!!!

I still have Gino's "The Gist of the Gemini" album on vinyl from back in the day. Such a great voice and musician. His albums are so well produced and arranged as well.

Gist is my favourite, and I'm comparing it to the rest of his 70s-early 80s work (Crazy Life, Powerful People, Storm at Sunup, Pauper in Paradise, Brother to brother and Nightwalker) The man's a genius..

This stopped without leading into "Love Me Now" on the album and really sound complete when listened to together. Chod, you owe it to yourself to hear that version here on YT and here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4Fr1ceSmprbos4.html . All of his albums are awesome. I know, I have them all.

Yes! Love Gino Vannelli, especially the Brother to Brother album. Great musicianship and his voice still sounds great today. I heard that he's a vocal teacher but dunno for sure.

Gino lives in Troutdale , Oregon and does teach music. His voice is still amazing at 69! One of my favorite vocalists for sure! No one like him❤️

I grew up listening to Gino Vanneli. Saw him in the 70's live. He came up through the stage with a white baby grand piano and smoke everywhere. Ive been to some cool concerts but this was the best. Yes he's got major class and original style. It's music for dinner with your lover! Glad you found him. Check out the rest of this and his other albums....like Crazy Life! 👌🏻👍🏻🎶💗

Gino is so amazing ! ❤ His voice

This reminds me of the 80's, when Detroit had a Jazz station, and, I had Klipsh speakers. Good to hear again, thanks to requestor.

Sensual doesn't even begin to describe Gino.

Where Am I Going is one of my favorites tunes of his, but honestly, I love a lot of his tunes. His brother Joe is the keyboard wizard and he was truly great. Gino started on drums, and they decided, dude, get out here and sing. He was one of the best sounding concerts I've ever seen. I saw him at the old Jacksonville Coliseum. That was a great night, not the least of which my date for the show was one of the best looking women I've ever gone out with. Man, that's an old memory.

He has a incredible voice! There will never be another as great as he is!

Also by GV: 'Mama Coco', 'Black Cars'. Tbh, when I first heard Gino on FM radio at my first f/t job outta h.s. in the mid-70s, as a neophyte guitarist heavily influenced by the British invasion, psychedelia, Hendrix et al, I thought, "I'm soo over," or something like that, i.e. "way of the dinosaur" type-thing. The musical sophistication and breadth of influences, the sonic touches like synth sounds on top of that, it seemed the next wave/paradigm/thang was other than me.

I have the vinyl album and it sounds so mystic. It is a complex arrangement and very profound jazz fusion song that one cannot categorize. So glad you liked it and thank you!

Love “Valley Valhalla”, you gotta give it a listen, one of the best of many songs by Gino Vannelli. Love your video channel too ✨⚡️🌟👍🥰

yep...Gino and his mind-blowing voice and a cast of players that are at the top of their world. I've been amazed by him for many years now. Another of Canada's masterpiece vocalists...not to mention his brother Joe on keyboards...astounding stuff...check out Mama Coco sometime. : )

I love your interpretation of Gino's Vannelli's Opus Magnus. It will be the song that takes him to his grave and will live eternally in the minds and hearts of Vannelli fans and rock/jazz aficionados alike. I am both, and have been sense my dad brought the album into the house the year the LP was released. (The music store clerk upon hearing his description of a George Benson tune, misconstrued it for Gino's Vannelli. Thus, that's what he got.) He eventually fell in love with the album, and at 10 years, so did I. I was a precocious, music-loving boy anyway. Storm at Sunnup, Getting High, Love Me Now, and the best song: WHERE AM I GOING...it's ridiculous! Listen and take that journey Gino is noted for taking his listeners on. SUNNUP and WHERE AM I GOING offer the most musical leitmotifs--the recurring melodies that tie Vannelli's musical narratives together. He has many. Just listen for them. Kudos to Joe Vannelli, Mandel, Baker and Graydon. They are the glue to the Vannelli sound and always worth mentioning. Album art: Vannelli's hyper-masculine, sexy driven personae is part of the dynamics of his music. Note the barely clad vixen sitting in the background. Genius! for the zeitgeist of mid-70's, pre-Disco, sexual revolution. Thanks again for hitting all the right points.

Another great example of Gino Vanelli (as phenomenal as he was) being the face of his brother Joe, who wrote, arranged, and played keys and syths on all this stuff. It should have been called the Vanelli Bros.

Just loved the reaction!! It echoes what I've felt each time I've listened to it over the decades. A true Gino classic. If you like this, why not check out the War Suite from The Gist of the Gemini (sequence of tracks) More instrumental, but in my opinion Gino's absolute greatest moment..

Great reaction! Gino is the man! Check out Brother to Brother, Appaloosa, Where am I Going and Santa Rosa. All of his music is Gold.

Glad to see you getting to Gino. Now you gotta hear his song, "Brother To Brother", you will not be disappointed! Going to throw out another amazing and unique male vocalist... Kenny Rankin, starting with his cover of the Beatles, "Blackbird", or "Pardon Me".

I’m glad you were able to enjoy and appreciate the music of Gino.

Saw Gino live years ago. This song was played with synthesizers/ keyboards only. Other than a percussionist and drummer, that was it. Incredible Also the end of this song it goes right into the song "Love me Now" which is only on the album

I saw him in concert right before the Co-vid debacle and way back in 1970 at college. He's one of my favorites but he sure looks like he could use a sandwich or three.

The way he segways in to "yes, I know, just how you love me..." might be the best part.

Love Gino! Check out albums Crazy Life(1973), Powerful People(1974), The Gist of the Gemini(1976) and Brother to Brother(1978) Gino Vannelli is so unique and that’s what I love about him.

Gino! Since May of 1974. Imagine that? Well this came out and I was/am a massive fan. This is like a mesh of Classical,Jazz, Rock,and Big Band. Listen to this with really nice headphones. You catch everything. It’s a very nice piece of music. Gino started as a drummer in Montreal. Thus he had some insane drummers. Gino is still out doing it. He remastered The River Must Flow recently. The dude is a vocal master.

❤️ oh.. the reverb.. my god, Gino ❤️ Come to sweden again as soon as you can!

That instrumental was smoking Satriani Style , just killing it !

Must check out Brother to Brother!

Gino and brother were deep thinkers. Ugly man, Summers of My Life, Love me Now and The River Must Flow would be good pieces to add!

Wow just wow is right!!! Gino is one of my favorites! Not just a beautiful vocalist but an amazing writer and instrumentalist! He’s 69 now and he still sounds amazing 🤩 Check out his newer music too. Wilderness Road CD is very soothing and quite different from his older music, but still worth listening to!

I really appreciate this people don't know what they are missing Gino vannelli is the shit

Man, I miss these days.

One of the more complicated songs Gino ever did. Reason second label insisted he do straight pop, he refused, and was black listed, and couldn't record for 3 years. Ended up costing him his career, til he recovered ,and started recording again in mid 80's. Long story, you can find on internet.

that song is a whole music adventure

Virtuoso band. Masterful composition.

Probably one of the greatest pieces of music you will ever hear in your whole life...

Great Song - Great CD

Phenomenal . First listen . Remember him way back , but never got to the deeper cuts . This shows out at a high level ...

Great choice Chod! I saw him in concert back in the 70's, it was a pretty theatrical production.

You have yet to hear what the Gino Vinnelli band is capable of. Try Appaloosa, Brother to Brother or Mardi Gras. They are capable of some jazz/rock fusion that will leave your jaw on the floor.

glad you dig and appreciate it !

Crazy good! Gino and his brother's Joe and Ross know how to make music! Let me add to the pile of recommendations for "Brother To Brother"! 👍

Luv Gino! His best song in my opinion is Appaloosa! You will love it!

You might like "I'm in Love" also jazz, with Gregory Hines tap dancing for part of the drum break.

Love Gino vannelli's music he can compose music just about anything from loved to death. A lot by science was about death and surrendering. The man can sing and compose just about anything and making it meaningful

What an under-rated genius this man AND his brother Joe are.

young man you are listening to music that was done in 1975 . What makes it so good look at the instruments its mainly keyboards , who did that in the 70 's ! Genius !! Thats why its so good .

Gino Vannelli -Wild horses,Hurts to be in love,Black cars

I have seen him in concert what a voice I am a Fan

Love this reaction video; you’ve probably checked it out already but even Tyler the creator digs ‘Love is a Night’ from this album… it’s absolutely unbelievable.. Joe Vannelli the most underrated keys/synth player of the universe! Top channel dude 😎💥

"Where Am I Going" and "Keep On Walking" are other great cuts from this album. Try those out.

I was in High School when this album came out. Listen to Mama Coco on this album. His concerts are magnificent!

I have very few CDs in my car and Gino is one of 'em. I listen to his many musical master pieces regularly. To this day, nothing has come closed to his genius. And he's still touring and still have his amazing voice. Highly recommended 👌👍

Very good song. "Father and son" is a touching song off this album. Check it out. "Powerful People" is a very good album as well.

Not by a long shot. Been following his career since he appeared in the Miami Jai ALai Fronton in the mid 70s. What a voice!

Thank you Chod. Feel like the world needs Gino right about now. Please fall into his stuff. This song - not enough vocals. Saw him live in New Orleans in 1975 and was blown away. His brother does the musical arrangements.

saw him in LA at the Forum all I can say is Wow

Featuring the GREAT Graham Lear on Drums!

Gino possesses some pipes, huh?

Try his 80's stuff, "Black Cars" & "Wild Horses"

Kids this is called MUSIC!

For me this song is a situation between a couple where one is trying to leave the other. It is the same argument but the.other gets hysterical (trumpet) until the discssion is over. Finally the argument is understood and the storm passed. Excuse my english I'm from Mexico.

Big fan since the 70s!
