Gino Vanelli, People gotta move

[odeskoo]

ugotta'move!!!

[Hot80s]

where's my gold '78 trans am? great tune.

[DoGoneSilly]

I saw Gino in 78 and beside is incredible energy and likability on stage my biggest impression was how spotlessly he reproduced his music live. He did nothing in the studio his voice or band wasn't capable of live. BOY is that a rarity in the music industry. Also to the guy who called him a one hit wonder obviously doesn't understand his musical substantiality as well as his huge fan base. His big hit was one of his weakest songs.

[dictator54]

the guy had a good voice to bad he was a one hit wunder

[Bouvie79]

Vanelli and Jamiraquo are strangely similar all the way down to the sound and abstract lyrical concepts

[bikolee]

Lord. saw him back in the mid 70's. He was a hot little cutie and could rock the house kiddies!

G E N I A L Powerful - a concert that I would have liked to see

[orgassum]

MAN...THIS WAS A "KICK ASS" BAND....ALONG WITH GREAT ARRANGEMENTS...!!!

[sweetgypsy100]

Canadian/Italian swagger at it's finest...Gino in white.....should be illegal to be so hot..

[bregues]

@eyeswideopen48 actually , as i can remember, this dvd is a mix of "pauper in paradise "tour and "B t B " tour and obviously that 's why we can hear the work of those two amazing drummers of all time

[bregues]

@eyeswideopen48 absolutely ,on this dvd casey plays the drums on this song and , of course, on"one night with you"

[peggie50]

Had a friend that looked just like him and we went to see him in concert . Wow we had great times back then

[wendileona]

gino fans - how would you categorize (I know, not too good a thing to do) his music? You know, what genre is it? Is it pop? Disco Pop then? What genre is his music now?

I'm just in the process of delving deeper into his works and history, thanks!

[OKandNOWwhat]

@wendileona

He is a genre to himself.

Musically, the closest that I've heard is Steely Dan, but they are not near as funky.

Perhaps "fusion pop"?

His later work is more mainstream, though.

Lack of huge commercial success seemed to tame him.

[wendileona]

@OKandNOWwhat Thank you, I can hear your suggestion of "Fusion Pop" especially since he did that collaboration with Cobham on "We The People" which is like a Pop Fusion thing. Cool! Thank you for your insight!

[mesador]

une pure merveille du très fameux album " Powerful People", tout l'album est génial ♥

[ricloe]

Only people that lived deeply the seventies can understand that dancing and listening were so closed on those days. That was the reason that made the french "boites" and after the "discos" so important and fashionable.

You have to put Gino in the right picture at the right time!!

The record Powerful People is a masterpeace. Unfortunatly we never had much more!! I have it on CD and it is never forgotten!!

[Contessais4u]

WOW! All I can say is that he is fabulous and a great dancer who can sing with passion! Thanks for sharing!!

[JohnMichael52]

Gino is just feeling the music and wiggling his butt around that HUGE stage. Plus he looks great in white with them Pirate boots. Someone probably said to him you got great looking legs. Pose while your singing...lol

[DAVWAVE]

@JohnMichael52 Truly, the movement was something he worked on to enhance the show.

[JohnMichael52]

He's no better or worse then Elvis in his white jumpsuit when it comes to their dancing. Gino is just givjng himself something to do during the instrumental solos. I mean what else is a singer gonna do when there is no singing parts yet? He has to do something. Tom Jones danced all over the stage...so did Elvis. Johnny Mathis just stood there and gripped the piano for dear life. I was a singer for 20 years and whenever I did a live show I made sure I had NO songs in my show that left me hangin

[twebb63]

He Dances like a Friggin Gypsy....

but his band is kickin!

[SONGABUNDANCE128]

So you think you can dance! & he can...super hot!

[Romanini43047]

Megamiam, my thoughts exactly!!! Had front row seats in '79 B2B concert...no other concert has come close to Gino. Go see Gino!!!

[nightwalker225]

This is NOT Mark Craney on drums. It's Casey Scheurell. Mark joined the band on the following tour.

[sickwititstick]

nightwalker knows. this not Mark Craney

he joined for the brother to brother album

and created a dictionary on fusion grooves and fills! Mark ,Rest in Peace.

[markwb0]

Gino is the worst dancer on the plant. Great track thought.

[Magamiam]

Great, great Gino Vannelli classic!

Thanks for uploading!

You are contributing to the acquaintance of younger generations of Gino's fantastic music and beautiful lyrics,apart from fantabulous arrangements and musicians as well, of course! Many thanks!

A big hug from Mexico!

[mesador]

l'album "powerful people" de 1974 est fabuleux (intégralement)à posseder! ou à offrir!
