Gino Vannelli - The story behind People Gotta Move

[@beverlyredding2350]

Gino Vannelli is the greatest singer of all time. His speaking voice is "heavenly" In love forever!

[@germainizaguirre5522]

God bless Herb albert for giving gino tje chance to audience. Gino otherwise we were nevera be able to listen GIno's músic

[@64worshipper]

Since I was 12, I wanted to see Gino Vannelli in concert. I FINALLY had the opportunity to do just that this past March. It took 47 years, but I did it! I'll never forget it!

[@cynthiahooper2090]

Like a fine wine, Gino has gotten better with age....confident, well-versed in so many types of music and a genuinely nice guy from all I've seen.............wonderful entertainer.

[@blairfranklin7320]

I love Gino

[@khandrum]

He's the reason I stayed in Montreal when life was lowdown and I got to meet some of his friends and cousins even played with Tony, Gino's conga player from People gotta move period and Rick Vanelli his cousin was the bassist for a band I had back then

[@tommysoprano1441]

Gino , always classy, smart and always has the best studio musicians

[@ccmagee972]

Gino's orchestrated arrangements were the best of any artist of that Era can hold even now. He is the most underrated musician of all time

[@marytrammell6572]

Met Gino in new Orleans.he is so amazing.very sweet and he stopped to take pics.he was so humble.I especially remember how gorgeous he is in person!!!!

[@monicabell1264]

Beautiful man !

[@betosploc]

Superb singer musician and writer,he deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[@garyaugustus690]

My maiiiin man! This guy has one of the biggest voices in the biz, yet he's nowhere near superstar status in his career. I got hip to him in 1976 via the, 'Pauper In Paradise' album...this man can sing.

We just saw Gino in New Orleans last night, and that man has PIPES! His voice is just as pure as it was 40 years ago. Amazing concert that I will never forget.

[@rosiekelly8388]

That man has a lot more than just "pipes;" he's got charisma, imposing presence AND he's a Gemini. That sort of says it all.

He sure isn't unappreciated by ME ❤

[@jillsalkin7389]

I know what you're saying, but I think he's sometimes too hip for the room. He has millions of fans all over the world, fought hard to do the music that was uniquely his, and sings as great as he does because he was very smart about taking care of himself!

[@Frederick831]

GINO, WHO HAD THE BIGG AFRO BACK IN THA DAY----IS MY MY MAAAAAN... BECAUSE HE WROTE TWO OF THE BADDESST, CLASSIC AND TIMELESS SLOW JAMS OF ALL TIMES: " I JUST WANNA STOP" AND "LIVIN' INSIDE MYSELF!!!".... AND HE WAS INVITED ON SOUUUUUL TRAIN!! HE IS A LEGEND!!

A very cool story, I always liked that song from 1974, when I graduated from high school. The "Soul Train" segment was priceless! :)

[@NicoleGrignon]

I just Love it when he's in this mood ..and the story with Stevie Wonder

[@paoloi]

Enjoyed my time with Gino a few years back working on my craft. Took many notes and pointers. True genius.

[@katherenreizel4972]

What an amazing artist.

[@hurstma59]

I’ve seen Gino in concert 3x. First time was in the late 80s in Birmingham AL. Second time was many years later in 2010 in Seattle WA. Third was in Clearwater FL. I’ve got every album and have been a fan from the moment I heard his first song.

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

! have been a fan from the moment I heard the song: "I Just Wanna Stop."

[@joyce3778]

What a great interview. Gino on SOUL TRAIN 🚂 Priceless. The HAIR so only Gino ( priceless) very a true Prince . Eyes penetrating Perfect match to his 🎵🎶 musiQ. LOVE Herb Alpert . Fell in love with Gino in Brother To Brother ❤️

I was a kid when this came out, they used to blast it at the local Roller Rink, I just knew this was SOOOOO much better than the other music that was being played ..being brought up on this kind of stuff made me a better musician myself ..Thanks Gino

[@FIGHTSEEN]

Jazzy and funky with timeless lyrics.

[@marisabarbara873]

[@sprydo7113]

222...LIKED Met Gino...for the "Meet n Greet"....with photo time. Well worth it, the long waiting, was priceless. So love ALL His music...had to grow Hair longer, and of course opened shirt and tight body sleeved shirts as well. In Choir class...individualism was king...was fun as well. Trying to hit His notes was a challenge.

[@monicabell1264]

People Gotta move!!!!awesome SONG !!! VERY Funky, Jazzy,. And R&B,,,,FANTASTICA, me encanta ,. La mejor

[@francisclause9307]

Love You Gino!!!

[@rosiekelly8388]

The words, the music, the captivating presence send only ONE message and that message is pure male SENSUALITY. Gino is as seductive as his lyrics and music. He truly IS a Gemini.

[@RBS_]

...I'm glad that Gino's CLASSIC appearance on "Soul Train" was mentioned, because although he wasn't the 'first' white Artist ("Tubular Bells" instrumentalist Mike Oldfield was), Gino WAS the first to introduce his love for Soul, opening the doors for Bowie, Elton, Go West, Sheena, etc.

[@dealsbetweenfriends]

wow...look at Joe havin a Blast ! 2023 now saw Gino in 2013 loved it!

"Off-white" Ha! And they played LIVE on Soul Train? How cool.

[@ElectedOfficial1]

Xyero Forsyte I don't believe that was live at all.

[@xyeroforsyte1244]

You may be right, but at the very least they re-recorded the song so that it would only have the instrumentation they were pantomiming with, because that audio version is not from the album or single.

[@Vincenzo-wn1or]

Italians definitely off-white

I was familiar GV in high school ('76-'79), but I've never heard of this song.

[@Ston247]

When I saw Gino on Soul Train I thought he was the coolest white dude in the world. If you down with Don Cornelius, you had to have soul and Mr. Vanelli proved that even white people can have "The Vibe." We were diggin' him.

[@PeterBatah]

Actually, I remember the gorl that Gino is referring to. I was in the Family kitchen with them right around the time that Crazy Life was released. As a matter of fact, I can clearly remember what was playing on a small 19 inch television that sat on a tv stand in the kitchen. The Great White Hope. How ironic! Wow! Where has the time gone?

[@respekt200]

Gino: I have to tell you something. Don: What? Gino: I'm a white guy, you know. Don: I know. At Soul Train we consider you off-white. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Would be praise and recognition to me.
