I haven't been to Little Five Points since I lived in Atlanta in the 1980s. I'm hoping it hasn't changed too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Son of HuHefner Posted November 23, 2012 Members Share Posted November 23, 2012 let us know if Joe Vanelli is on keys. I had most of Gino's albums/CD's. Very talented performer and song writer. Good to read he is performing and on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a studio in Agoura Hills, California called 'Blue Moon'.http://www.bluemoonstudiola.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mate_stubb Posted December 6, 2012 Members Share Posted December 6, 2012 Gino and Joe were synth pioneers. Back when you could only play one note at a time, their use of big multitracked lush synth chords were a revelation on the radio. And their band was absolutely bad ass. Don't diss the boys!

Members Mooginator Posted December 7, 2012 Members Share Posted December 7, 2012 hey you like what you like, I just always found both music and lyrics ultra corny and croony. If he couldnt use a maj7 chord or a maj7 chord with 2 in the bass ( some of you call those 11th chords) and min7 with the 2 replacing the tonic and the 5th on top, then you wouldnt have any songs left over.

Members zoink Posted December 7, 2012 Members Share Posted December 7, 2012 I always liked Gino Vannelli's music. His fame originally stemmed from his late 70s / early 80s 'soft rock' hits, but he was/is a very solid songwriter, musician, and vocalist. It's really a shame that songwriters like Vannelli largely fell out of favor after it was no longer considered "cool" to write heartfelt songs about love. He still has devoted fans, but he hasn't charted a hit in probably 20 years -- which to me is more an indicator of the direction popular music has taken. There's a whole fraternity of great songwriters from that era who probably wouldn't even get a shot at fame today -- Stephen Bishop, Andrew Gold, Dan Fogelberg, David Pack (Ambrosia), Gino Vannelli, Christopher Cross, David Gates, Sonny Geraci, Nicolette Larson, Gerry Rafferty, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
