I always thought Gino's music was actually too good for the mainstream pop market. "I Just Wanna Stop' is still his biggest hit and is as watered down musically as anything he has done. Tracks like this one truly are in a land of their own, but due to it's complexity harmonically and rhymically, your average listener will be more drawn to simpler efforts like that from Toto, Chicago(later material) and Journey.
I agree and this is the only Vanelli album I've ever owned. For me it's because of Vinnie Colaiuta's drumming. Impeccable! Gino does get the most amazing musicians.
I ThinK most people I've found that're Gino Vannelli fans are because of the Nightwalker Album. ..This is the one (tape in my case) that I played around and around and around till it was squealing in my player from being worn-out.
Now that i'm older though I realize i'm not sure if i'm a Gino Vannelli fan or a Joe or Ross fan because for me aloT of it's in the keyboards and overall composition and playing ..and most other albums it's the chords on keyboards with the interesting moog basslines
