Gino Vannelli - Put The Weight On My Shoulders (Special)

[tomyg2]

The best song ever written. This song has been the soundtrack to my life. Simply without equal. Thanks Gino

[sarchisi]

I used to listen to his music as a teenager. Im glad to see he started putting some music out again otherwise its a wasted talent. He should not take it for granted as he has proved not only to sing pop, jazz but also opera.

[marqueroybal]

Does anyone have the Imperials version from the Stir it Up album from 1993? That was another incredible version. Jonathon Pierce did the song justice!

[doveseeds]

Stunning.

Gino is da man. So beautiful song.

I did it myself one time.

@ginojens Search for Brothers on stage, gino vannelli, put the weight

Don't "soften the chords!" The darkness is part of this beautiful song. You sing so beautifully, but DON'T soften the darkness of the original. There is profound beauty in that darkness! This sounds "churched" - to make others happy. Live true to the original!!

[MrRelax3737]

Simple and Powerful.

Very moving piece with an emotional performance.

THIS SONG CAN MAKE ANGELS CRY............

Thank you....Doug G in LV

That is Michael Borslip playing piano. Incredible how he wraps the piano around Gino's vocals. My favorite Gino song of all time.

...mostruoso...la "semplicità" delle note e della voce...come intensità,passione...come genialità metto Gino a pari livello con Wonder...Stevie dalla sua ha piu"hit"..ma ripto,come genialità...Gino sta su quei Livelli...se qualcuno non è d'accordo me ne parli pure...Luglio scorso Wonder a Verona è stato magico...ma Vannelli a Cuma(NA),Settembre 2005 pure fu mostruoso col Feat. al piano di Michiel Borstlap...immenso Gino...poi questo nuovo arrangiamento quasi come un "Notturno" di Chopin:MAGICO!

[ywkaren1128]

Beautiful...This will be playing at our wedding!

[paoloi]

This version is just as magical as the original....

[M1A1Tanker43]

Perfect in so many ways. He has touched my life since 1978.

[imbees2]

Gino is very good. I love him

[Dex2020]

I have always loved his work from his very first song,I am now a film maker and wish to tribute Gino Vannelli by including this song in my film, I only hope he gets to read this and allows me to do so.

[totallyhotonj]

Wow!  Crystalline and perfect. I LOVE this!

[tilleylad]

"Rise above what is past and let yourself be free." Sublime piano voicings and a great vocal. Wonderful stuff.

[vagrantkid19]

LET'S FACE IT: GINO HAS BEEN TOUCHED BY GOD TO SHARE THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITH US. HIS MUSIC TAKES US OUT OF THIS WORLD AND PUTS US SOMEWHERE WHERE SPIRIT CAN FLY FREE. Thanks you Gino/ Thank you God.

[kkandpraddict]

Incredible singer, incredible voice, incredible song. A vocal masterpiece.

[lucdile]

Un oceano di emozioni, brividi e sentimenti per la più bella voce del panorama mondiale pop\rock e per una delle più meravigliose canzoni mai scritte............. grazie Gino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurat63]

STUNNING, what else can I say!

[Karenfan09]

Gino's voice has not missed a beat over the years....He is a true singer/songwriter...If this song does not move you, then you must be flat lining.

[lvelev]

@Karenfan09,

What a great words! Very well said! Thank you for your post!

Gino deserves highest admirations for his talent and creative work!

And the love that we give him, of course!

[CoreaKixx420]

@Karenfan09 That was classic my friend. I laugher so hard, because it is so true. Keep the great lines coming.

[SingerForLife3000]

You've gotta be frickin' kidding me! This is SO BEAUTIFUL. Once again, I find myself in tears. This man's voice & spirit have "ministered to me," so fully & completely, for SO MANY YEARS now. The consummate Artist. And these collaborations w/Michiel Borstlap expand this ALREADY magnificent music in ways that speak volumns to ALL human sensibilities. The original is one of my FAVORITE recordings. So I hesitated to listen here, thinking it COULD NOT POSSIBLY MEASURE UP. Wrong. Gino, You Rock!

[glennbo72]

Words cannot describe the depth and beauty of this masterpeice that was channeled from heaven itself. Anyone who doubts a Divine realm need only listen to this song for absolute confirmation. Such Light and soul in this man, our beloved Gino.

[lvelev]

@glennbo72, your comment is the most valuable here! It represents your true love towards Gino's music and talent just as I've expressed mine in my video film!

[joergen100]

GINO VANELLI IS FANTASTIC AND THIS IS DEFINATELY THE BEST EVER RECORDING I HAVE HEARD. Here he shows that he is much more than just a pop star. This is the real article!!!

[lvelev]

Yes, this is mind blowing song and shows that Gino is an artist par excellence!!!

[joergen100]

@lvelev Can only agree completely.

[bregues]
