Would you buy tickets to see a Gino Vannelli concert?

Milli Vanilli maybe Gino, no

Who dat?

He's had work done...

Pop singer in 70s.

When I think about those nights in Montreal...

Gotta move....

UGLY!

He was hot back in the day.

Has a big one

Do it! And then ask us if we are jealous.

yes

Queer you know. I do know, for sure. An old radio friend from back in the day knew him well. Loves the dick.

So sexy back in the 70s.

For r5.

likes to be poked in the pooper

OP, this approach isnt going to work either.

Would you settle for Super Tramp, r15?

I could totally pull off that hairstyle

Yes. I’ve seen him twice. Met him once.

He's a French Canadian born in Montreal, Quebec. I have his hit singles, some goods stuff, and yes, I'd go see him in concert.

Gino Vannelli back in the day. He's 66 now.

I haven't thought about this guy in like forever. Had this weird fusion of funk, power ballads and jazz. I liked the Pauper in Paradise album. Such a weird collection of music. I'm surprised he hasn't written any Broadway musicals. Thanks for bringing me back to 11 years old.

Damn, I think I have to watch my sister's kids. Damn.

That chest back in the 70s, though -- day-um!

[quote]He's a French Canadian born in Montreal, Quebec.

With a name like "Gino Vannelli," one would have to assume he's of Italian descent, not French.

Loved him!

He was hot when this video was made. Always liked the song, too. I heard he was a perfectionist about arranging & recording, which wasn’t meant as a criticism by the person who worked in the recording studios told me.

For r23:

If it came with a time machine trip, yes.

Yes, OP. I would see him. He still has a beautiful voice. He could have been a bigger star but I read he had creative differences with one of the major industry players (Clive Davis?). They wanted him to be more mainstream/pop-oriented and he didn't want to go that way; he wanted more artistic control of his music. After that, he disappeared for a while.

I remember I was in college, listening to this album on some guy's huge stereo system with a bunch of people. We were all smoking pot and everyone was quiet as a mouse. We listened to the entire album, stoned and this album just blew our brains out, it was such a high listening to it. Or it was really good grass.

All our friends assumed he was gay but I was surprised to read that he's been married to the same woman since the 1970s and has a son. But then. he could be bi.

I would buy a ticket if he performs a medley of his hit.

I would definitely go and see him...

[quote] Would you buy tickets to see a Gino Vannelli concert?

Probably not, OP. John List would buy tickets. It's rumored he was listening to Gino Vannelli with his second wife when he was arrested. Good times.

Yes.

R24, there's plenty of Eyetalians in Montreal. The weird thing is many of them talk like they're from NYC. And the Montreal Jews have an even stronger NYC-type accent. Where the hell does that accent come from?

Get serious, R34 YOU figure out who is OP of first thread.

r33 writing the same dull post on the Tony Orlando & Dawn thread in 3..2..1

Yes, r36/OP. I'm the OP of the Tony Orlando & Dawn thread YOU copied and paste this thread from. The first thread.

Oh look, R37 can count.

GINOOOOOO!

Poor r39. She's upset.

Poor R41. He's poor. And has gynecomastia.

Poor r42. She's still single, fat and dull.

Oh go fuck it out in a corner, cunts.

Back to Gino for r44!

My cousin's friend who is a stylist to ALL the big 70s singers in Montreal said that Gino sheds like an airedale - little fluffs of wool gather in the corners wherever he hibernates.

That's quite a package he was sporting in the "People Gotta Move" video.

He's back?!? Is he done writing his opera?!!? OP GO! I guess the curls are gone but still! you gotta move!! People gotta groove!!

Merci, R27!

He still has a nice bod for an old guy.

Well, this is certainly a trip down memory lane -

I read somewhere that Black Cars is not about Trans Ams, as a lot of people think, but rather about the drag queens prowling the streets at night.

According to the Wikipedia article (which has no mention of his wife/family), an album released in 2003 titled 'Canto' is his greatest musical accomplishment. Sample at link.

If you check Gino's FB page, he has pics of his wife, mostly when she was young and quite a stunner. Here's a recent pic of them.

heck, I'm surprised too that he's been married this long-- and that he even has a wife.

My boyfriend saw him in concert in the 70s and said he was carrying a purse like this. One of the reasons we assumed he was gay.

R73 - just really bad 70s fashion. Gino is packing!

HELL YES… this guy can SING!!!

R51 I love and have his song "Black Cars".

............

Is that the shit brickhouse troll presenting his puny cocklet?

Vannelli Minnelli

Loved him since I was a kid in the 70's, and finally saw him live in LA (which was recorded and made into a DVD) about 6 years ago. Looked great, sang great, but told stupid little stories between songs. Talked about how his wife understood, and was glad to see him go, when he had to take off for months at a time to Europe to spark creativity. I felt like he was announcing his open marriage and was available.
