Album Review
By this point, Vannelli has pared away the often-bizarre edges of his sound and became more mainstream. That's not a bad thing. This album's predecessor, A Pauper in Paradise, seemed to blow up his pretensions to skyscraper size with only the melodic and gorgeous "The Surest Things Can Change" coming out unscathed. The good news is that Brother to Brother seems to pick up from that point. The big hit here, the sexy and confident "I Just Want to Stop," gets a great vocal from Vannelli and the backing vocalists. Throughout, this one gets the sense that Vannelli finally got what made him special vocally and lyrically. "Love and Emotion" and "Feel Like Flying" have a maturity that he couldn't have pulled off two albums before. That is also true of the pensive "Wheels of Life," a song that's so melodically rich and thought-provoking, it's surprising that Peabo Bryson didn't cover it on one of his albums. Gino Vannelli's often more personal than more artists, and the final track proves it. The sleek and well-arranged "People I Belong To" has Vannelli examining the lives of his parents and brothers in a way that can't help but be affecting. After a few years of successful albums for A&M, Brother to Brother coalesced the sound and is recommended to fans of pop and R&B.
Customer Reviews
Still holds up today
I listened to him back when i lived in Philly with a very Italian influence all around me. Needless to say i'm aging myself but his music holds up today. I was so glad to get my ipod nano and go in search of "albums" i thought were lost forever. Sultry and strong vocals with great lyrics and music.
Met Gina
My friend and I was at an AC/DC concert in Charleston, WV. Low and behold I noticed Gino & band was standing in front of the control station (back of civic center). My buddy and I got up and went down to meet him. Well, he's as nice a fellow as he is a singer. He introduced us to his band. Besides, my buddy and I were going to the Gino concert the next night. Great concert which was the Brother to Brother tour. Side bar, my future wife to be was sitting 5 - 10 rows down. I still get that excitment everytime we kiss. I'm nuts but that's life. Later.
Excellence
I saw this man with his brothers at a concert in NY city. Carnegie Hall 1978. Let me just say I was blown away. This man is the best of all that has come into music. I met his brothers afterwards as well at the door and more then pleasant. I love pretty much all the songs that he put out there. What is on the radio is not my favorites though I wish they would play his music more. It still stands today as previously noted. Great job and glad a new album is out. Keep it going.
