Gino is from Montreal. There is no doubt you heard his hit song "I just want to stop". it was a #1 hit here in America. Check it out. The drummer Mark Craney is a beast. He also played with Jethro Tull. Unfortunately he passed a few years ago.
Wow….you found and appreciate the genius of Gino Vannelli…I discovered him in the late 70’s and was blown away! Thank you for the 2 videos reactions posted of him. If you want another blown away sound, please listen to, “Where am I going” on Storm at Sunup…you will be so blown away…again. Love and peace to both of you ❤
I just found out that these days 72 year old Gino is a music teacher in Oregon. He's also still touring in North America and Europe. Cool! Can you imagine having him for a music teacher?
So many great tracks on this album, including "Appaloosa", "The River Must Flow", and "Love and Emotion", in addition to "I Just Wanna Stop" and the title track. Thanks for playing this one.
I have had this on vinyl forever. I've played the grooves off this damn record. Powerful and just BAD ASS! I was scrolling thru your lists and did a hard stop when I saw this. I needed to hear your reaction. I KNEW you'd love it. What's not to love!?!?!? Thanks for another great reaction and Happy New Year, guys! See you next year
I said it before and I'll say it again Gino Vannelli is so much more than "I Just Wanna Stop" How can I send you guys requests because there's so many cuts that y'all would dig. Brother To Brother is a work of musical art.
@AirplayBeats ok with that being said here ya go... Powerful People Love Is The Night Fly Into This Night A New Fix On '76 Valleys Of Valhalla The Whole Brother To Brother album Mama Coco Summers Of My Life Nightwalker That's all I can think for right now. Looking forward to more Gino Vannelli reactions from you guys because y'all is THE REAL DEAL!!!🏆🏆💯
This is one of the most incredible songs that I've ever heard on this channel, or on any reaction channel! It's a first-time listen for me, and I know that different people have different tastes, but this is funky and jazzy on a deep level, and it's right up my alley. I need to check out more Gino Vannelli!
Montreal...growing up in Detroit and getting all the Canadian stations we heard this stuff a LOT because of the Canadian Content Law. Really brings back memories...Mama Coco next please & People Gotta MOVE!
The instrumental section kind of reminds me of Race with the Devil on a Spanish Highway from Al Di Meola's Elegant Gypsy album. Gino had a good run in the 70s in the US but is still super-popular in many places globally. He always had the best musicians in the band, run by his brother, keyboardist, Joe. His brother Ross wrote his big hit, I Just Wanna Stop. Love Gino and all his albums.
Gino Vanelli is from Canada, and he can be very progressive sometimes, he's excellent, I don't mind the dramatic orchestrated jazz ock melodies, he's the best...
This is my favorite Gino Vannelli album! A must buy! Not a bad song on this album! Gino has two brothers, one brother is his keyboardist, and his other brother is his manager i believe. Thanks for playing this title cut! Play the rest of this album!! :-)
This album has sat on one of my shelves unplayed since the early '80s - when you have over 10,000 LPs many great ones get forgotten so thanks for the reminder. I played several tracks from the album on my radio show when it was released in 1978. As I remember, the track "I Just Wanna Stop " was a hit single in the US charts, check out "Apaloosa" and "The River must Flow" - nice tracks. In spite of his Italian sounding name Gino is a Canadian and this album (the 6th) remains his biggest seller.
I got into Gino Vanelli as a 13 year old living in N. Idaho. Bought EVERYthing he ever put out. At the time my my friends were all into Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Who and the Stones... My friends thought I had lost my ever loving mind. I later learned that my ear was specifically drawn to the Jazz / Fusion genre.... 50 years later? Gino's still a fixture in my playlists...
excellent choice guys. The guitar solo in this song is considered one of the greatest solos of all time, played by Carlos Rios. I Just wanna stop and Living inside myself are great options too, although they are more pop ballads.And yes, Ginno reminds me a little of Robert Plant and even Elvis with his strong and flamboyant stage presence.
I saw both this tour and the movie Raiders of the lost ark knowing nothing about either one going in. I was blown away by both the same way. Seen Gino 5 times since!
In 1978, I was 10 years old in Times Square to see a Broadway show with my family, and this song definitely has a Broadway quality to it. I don't know who the incredible musicians he got for this song were, but the composition of this sounds like something a classical musician would write if they were deep in the theater.
I was a big fan of Gino’s music! He got a big crossover on the soul charts! You’re right a lot of people weren’t ready for his strong jazz influences! So he never got a huge following but those of us knew he had the stuff! People got to move was probably his biggest hit, I have a couple of his Al albums still playing! Chiguy
You have to see this song live. Gino reminds me of Robert Plant, in that they have such a powerful presence on stage. Artists of the highest level. Thank you for your great reaction.
This is such a great song! I was a senior in High School when this came out and NEVER heard this until today, we were stuck with I JUST WANNA STOP and LIVING INSIDE MYSELF... this S**t is HEAVY!!
This is the dreamiest album, but I haven't listened to it for 40 years, gotta dig this one out! Reminds me of the days of a fire in the fireplace and a good bottle of wine and Gino.
Gino made i think SEVEN albums after convincing Herb Alpert to sign him in the early seventies. This album ended his A&M contract on a high note and set him up to change labels and on great terms. He followed with Living Inside Myself for the new label and later in the decade blew everyone away with a totally unexpected Noir Pop move" in Black Cars. Dude cut his teeth on fusion and could do AnYTHING. The uniquely urgent timbre of his fusion years was a and perhaps THE prototype for every metal vocalist you can think of. And the WAY he modulated that voice was singular. JUST singular. Italianate with a sense of opera but the impatience of the late 60s for things NEW .
I wore that album out and played the tape in the car until it broke. Saw the concert, too! I call him the Mad Scientist of Music. Every album has its own flavor and they're all bad ass. You won't find a better production of sound on any album except for maybe "Boston" or Santana's "Moonflower"
Glad y’all finally got around to this. The entire album is killer!!! And I highly recommend the follow up album “Nightwalker.” I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. 👊👏
The great (and sadly rather unknown) Carlos Rios on guitar! He’s now in Stevie Nicks’s touring band. And the late Mark Craney on drums; what a musician, everything from Jean Luc Ponty to Jethro Tull
I do love Gino and his band. I was in a band when I was 19, and all my bandmates were older experienced pros, steeped in jazz and blues who had been playing around Detroit in all genres, great players, knowledgeable musicians. And our keyboard player pulled out Gino Vanilla for our setlist. The song was I just want to stop (it was the disco era so it was our slow song). It took some time to learn; I wouldn't say master, how do you master this band:). And you can't perform a GV tune and do it half assed. So glad you discovered this band. They are masters.
So elated you chose this song. If you dig out you will see how he has alot of amazing stuff, he had a great band of musicians.even did some Italian stuff
I was always hoping you'd get to this one! Gino has got some great music. Gino is fusion. He's kinda soul, kinda jazz, kinda classical, with a touch of pop and rock. Now from this same album if you could get to the cut "I Feel Like Flying", I think you guys would really dig it. More Gino.
I'm so glad you boys got to this one. Them drums. That bass. Guitar solo. Vocals. Damn. There's a couple videos of Gino performing this. The earliest one will undoubtedly leave a mark. Gino would later jump the shark with Black Cars but not before he recorded some of the best fusion of the era.
I’ve been a big Gino fan since the 70’s. saw him live twice in Toronto. Have a listen to Where am I Going from the Storm at Sunup album. An outstanding LP.
Jimmy Haslip on bass, played with Fagen and many more! He plays bass left handed but plays a right handed bass. Listen to I Feel Like Flying from this album for some sexy, soulful Jimmy Haslip bass!
!! I’m thrilled you’ve discovered Gino!! Apropos to the times we’re living in, I’d like to suggest you react to Powerful People off the album of the same name. Also…Fly Into This Night from Gist of the Gemini. Really his whole catalog is worthy of exploration! Still and Always the best reactor out there!
Absolutely the best Gino Vannelli song by a long shot. When this came out in ‘78 I was working at a record shop. Most of us working there were way too cool to like that sickly sweet Gino stuff we had heard up to that point but one of the girls there insisted we play it. This is the first song on the album. Our eyes just got bigger and bigger as it played. Needless to say it went into heavy rotation in the store. The rest of the album is great too. As long as you don’t pay attention to the lyrics. 😂
First woman I lived with shit hammered a great party to a grinding halt by suddenly playing Gino Vannelli. Everyone turned around and stared . Luckily a friend and bass player pounced on the turn table and tossed the LP right out the window in one smooth move. If this music was a shirt size it would be extra medium.........................
Well, there’s a lot to listen to with these guys. People Gotta Move has to be way up there. The River Must Flow, Nightwalker, One Night With You, Powerful People.
Gino is from Montreal. There is no doubt you heard his hit song "I just want to stop". it was a #1 hit here in America. Check it out. The drummer Mark Craney is a beast. He also played with Jethro Tull. Unfortunately he passed a few years ago.

My favorite album of all time. Thanks for reviewing.

for musicians back in the day, Brother to Brother was the ultimate jazz-fusion reference track-it truly has it all.
This whole album is fire.
I still listen to this to this day!
You bet!👍
Musicians love Gino!
One of the best albums I’ve ever owned! Ear candy through the whole album! 🎹🎷🥁🎸 Totally worth adding it to your vinyl collection!
The drummer is kicking butt and taking names!😊
He sure is!!
The late great Mark Craney!
Once you start listening to Gino you cant get enough and you are hooked for life!!
The more Gino the better
So many great tracks on this album, including "Appaloosa", "The River Must Flow", and "Love and Emotion", in addition to "I Just Wanna Stop" and the title track. Thanks for playing this one.

Mark Craney's single headed toms sound like cannons! RIP Mr. Craney
Have always loved Gino & got to see him Live at House of Blues in L.A.---one of the best shows ever. he's the BOMB. really unique.

That is the same song that I requested they do! It's a jam!
Gino Vanelli is from Canada, and he can be very progressive sometimes, he's excellent, I don't mind the dramatic orchestrated jazz
ock melodies, he's the best...
Ahhh Gino!! He is such a vibe!! Thanks for starting my week out on the positive.
This is just comfort music! His vocal range awesome with the jazz fusion behind you can’t beat it. Another great choice guys!!
This is my favorite Gino Vannelli album! A must buy! Not a bad song on this album! Gino has two brothers, one brother is his keyboardist, and his other brother is his manager i believe. Thanks for playing this title cut! Play the rest of this album!! :-)

Great show. 1979 Brother To Brother Tour was loaded with past and present. Always great musicians well rehearsed every time I’ve seen him.
Awesome reaction! Gino is the Man!. Check out To The War on Gist of the Gemini
Yep that's another masterpiece
Gino has always been a favorite of mine and it started with THIS album! AMAZING!
I got into Gino Vanelli as a 13 year old living in N. Idaho. Bought EVERYthing he ever put out. At the time my my friends were all into Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Who and the Stones...

One of my favs is “Where am I going” check out his live version from Montreal remastered. Another is “Storm at Sunup”. These are just 2 of many.
Always thought Gino was pop. I now know better. 💜💜💜
Undeniable Brilliance .
Over the Target on this one .
More , please and thank you !

"The Evil Eye" off this same album is killer too fellas! Great channel btw 👍

You must do a cover to cover reaction to this whole album. It is absolutely fire.
Great reaction! I got to see Gino live at The Forum and they sound just like the record. They were so tight and clean. Great musicianship!
I wore that album out and played the tape in the car until it broke. Saw the concert, too! I call him the Mad Scientist of Music. Every album has its own flavor and they're all bad ass. You won't find a better production of sound on any album except for maybe "Boston" or Santana's "Moonflower"
Glad y’all finally got around to this. The entire album is killer!!! And I highly recommend the follow up album “Nightwalker.” I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. 👊👏
That bass work is everything
Gino is amazing I remember when he first hit the scene and this 65yo man fell in love with his music!
❤❤❤❤❤
"PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE" = Gino in the Funk .
Doesn't disappoint .
Facts
The great (and sadly rather unknown) Carlos Rios on guitar! He’s now in Stevie Nicks’s touring band. And the late Mark Craney on drums; what a musician, everything from Jean Luc Ponty to Jethro Tull
Craney was incredible on the 1980 Tull "A" tour. Hunting Girl especially.
Didn't the album feature Graham Lear on drums? He also played with Santana and REO Speedwagon.l
@@dougrebertus1992 Graham left Gino’s band in late 1976, more than a year before this album was recorded.
I do love Gino and his band. I was in a band when I was 19, and all my bandmates were older experienced pros, steeped in jazz and blues who had been playing around Detroit in all genres, great players, knowledgeable musicians.

So elated you chose this song. If you dig out you will see how he has alot of amazing stuff, he had a great band of musicians.even did some Italian stuff
It went prog rocky/ steely guitar solo on the break. I love this, deep cut gents, well done.😊
I was always hoping you'd get to this one! Gino has got some great music. Gino is fusion. He's kinda soul, kinda jazz, kinda classical, with a touch of pop and rock. Now from this same album if you could get to the cut "I Feel Like Flying", I think you guys would really dig it. More Gino.

I’ve been a big Gino fan since the 70’s. saw him live twice in Toronto. Have a listen to Where am I Going from the Storm at Sunup album. An outstanding LP.
This takes me back. Friday nights with Gino blasting on the car stereo on my way to meet friends at a club. Good times.
Jimmy Haslip on bass, played with Fagen and many more! He plays bass left handed but plays a right handed bass. Listen to I Feel Like Flying from this album for some sexy, soulful Jimmy Haslip bass!
Amazing drumming on this Appoloosa and Nightwalker lp. Mark Craney, Vinnie Colaiuta. 🔥
Saw them in 86 I think great show
Have you guys heard I Just Wanna Stop? My favorite! I have to say though, this song was incredible!
First listen of this album I had to get it on vinyl. Just masterful musicianship thoughout.
Listened to this album nonstop in the 70s
I recommend the whole album.
please try People Gotta Move... GV is a forgotten master and so underappreciated
More Gino! “Where Am I Going” is another major fusion opus, with a great guitar solo by Jay Graydon of “Peg” fame!
Everything on that album is good
Now that you enjoyed Gino listen to “Where do I go from here” Great track
!! I’m thrilled you’ve discovered Gino!! Apropos to the times we’re living in, I’d like to suggest you react to Powerful People off the album of the same name. Also…Fly Into This Night from Gist of the Gemini. Really his whole catalog is worthy of exploration!

‘Wheels of Life’ next please
When Y2k hit the simulation ended and music and creativity went into a replay loop
Gino..My Italian Latin Brother
"Where will tomorrow's children be?" The 70s tried to show us the future. We walked away.
Two words, "Moma Coco"!
Reminds you of Steely Dan because of the Jazz sound. Good stuff.
You should do "The Evil Eye" next
True the female background singers at the end is my favorite part of the song is definitely the cherry on top
Appaloosa my favorite.
Do another one
Check out his live version of Brother to Brother “ live world tour 1979 New Orleans, EPIC!
Sugar Sugar by The Archies!
IMO this track is Gino Vannelli’s magnum opus.
Well, there’s a lot to listen to with these guys.
People Gotta Move has to be way up there. The River Must Flow, Nightwalker, One Night With You, Powerful People.
I might've had a little crush on Gino mid to late 70s, who could blame me?!
People Gotta Move Live!!
1978 Pre-computer analog warmth with accomplished musicians slappin'. You would like Billy Cobham Crosswinds fusion jazz
To all the classic rock purists, it’s ok to open your mind. This is amazing music.
Exactly 💯
Please check out ‘Gotta Keep Walking-live’. Different vibe, but beautiful.
