A LETTER FROM WINNIPEG WRITTEN BY A GINO VANNELLI ON FRIDAY 17 APRIL 2009...
THE EDMONTON SUN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED A GINO VANNELLI ARTICLE
Through personal stories from performers such as Anne Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Colm Feore, Roy Dupuis, Jay Barachel, Tommy Lasorda, Jason Priestly and Gino Vannelli among many other celebrities, THE MONTREAL CANADIENS: 100 YEARS – 100 STARS chronicles the story of the Montreal Canadiens beyond the ice. It traces the evolution of the city of Montréal, from the pre-war music...
The editors found two video's where you can see Gino Vannelli
"Gino Vannelli: De paden op, de lanen in..."
The literal translation to English is: 'The paths on the lanes in' but in Dutch it's more a song people sing when they make long walks or hikes to keep the spirits high! Difficult to explain! Anyways, this article starts very weird but that's our personal opinion... You have to read it yourself, that's why we mention this in our Gino Vannelli newspaper so you can decide to Buy this Revolver magazine or not!?
DO YOU KNOW??? or DID YOU KNOW??? That you can download the complete album: A GOOD THING???
A very good price for 9 new Gino Vannelli songs on your computer! And there are soundclips of all 9 songs. ENJOY the art in music, GINO VANNELLI'S MUSIC!!! When you have problems with the Dutch language? Do not hesitate to ask us!
To the "Keepers of the Memories"......In a life such as Gino's there are hundreds of thousands of memories and people woven into his tapestry and this one is such a tiny thread for him, but one of magnitude in the life of our family.....so even if this is lost in the great sea of cyber data, I will feel better having honored this memory....In the mid to late seventies, my husband at that time, Dido Morris, was the percussionist in Gino's band in Montreal....as Gino's career sky-rocketed our family transferred with the band to Los Angeles where the head office was re-located.....we all went to England while Gino was recording his album "A Pauper in Paradise" with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.....I was the artist who did the cover art and the liner portraits of the band and sang back-up on the album.....it was such a great experience in our lives and Gino's brother Joe and his lovely wife looked after our son Kemal (2 yrs. old at the time) while we worked on the album.... Kemal is now a grown singer -songwriter with his own band ..."The Kemal Evans Band".... with his first solo CD out and a pending showcase with the music moguls on the West Coast of Canada.....the music never stops....it just keeps passing through the generations like the song of one huge heart..... my most cherished memory of Gino's music was not the huge elaborate concerts....which were awesome in scope.....but the times I was privileged to sit and listen to this beautiful young man, sitting alone at his piano, singing his songs with that magnificent Italian voice....unadorned and unamplified....that was the sweetest sound and the memory I hold most dear.....I remember Gino as a very kind and deeply thoughtful person with a very close family.....he was always very gracious to me and I have watched his amazing career unfold with great pleasure.....his concert of Italian Art Songs was such a beautiful evolution of that great voice.....I look forward to hearing where he will go next....So , in closing, I will just say that I wanted to honor the memory of Dido's wonderful musical life by forwarding this notice into the vast world of Gino Vannelli.....I am aware that it will probably never reach him .....but it was a great part of our lives and I will never forget......Warmest Regards.....Joanne Evans/McKay
This message did not get lost in cyberspace and the editors made sure Gino Vannelli read these words and Gino was deeply touched and emotional. He said immediately"straight from His heart: "Dido played on Pauper in Paradise and Gist of the Gemini and toured a long time with me. He was a gentle and beautiful man. And a fine musician.
You can post the info on your site if you like...it is very real and very sad to lose Dido. Love, Gino.
Click on the picture and you can read the whole death announcement.
Than a nice person at Barend's work brought us a newspaper called the Radio Veronica special with the very BEST songs ever created.. And yesssss THREE GINO VANNELLI songs in this top 1000 list:
Next one is the Radio10 Gold top 4000 also with 3 GINO VANNELLI songs
No.: 2968 - HURTS TO BE IN LOVE

More lists: The Veronica 80's top 880. They made a chart for only 80's music and yesss there are 2 GINO VANNELLI songs inside this top 880:
DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That Bert van den Brink Holland's premier pianist created a musical piece called: "Impressions of the trip to Gino Vannelli" You can listen to this musical work of art here at the concertzender/concertstation web site.
Another subject is books. If you go to google home page - search under "more" and books and "gino vannelli" you can see all the books Gino Vannelli is mentioned in. Unbelievable!
For instance: The book title is "Double Trouble....Alternatives." by Greil Marcus - Social Science - 2001 - 272 pages... produced a reggae version of Blues Images "Ride Captain Ride," which he opined
had hit potential, and then went into Gino Vannelli s "Down with Love.".....
Underneath is a brief description and the excerpt with reference to Gino Vannelli on page #36. Roger Clinton (Bill's "black-sheep" younger brother) sang "Down with Love" at a "Bill Clinton for President" benefit at the I-Beam (Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco). This was in 1992.
Gino Vannelli is also mentioned in the new Boston Celtics book: Top of the World: The Inside Story of the Boston Celtics' Amazing One-Year on - Page 117.
Here is a direct link to Google book search.
Friday night on Grand Prix weekend: Madness.
There was Canadian Idol alumnus Audrey de Montigny looking tanned and radiant, and pop star/media personality Mitsou in a black strapless dress and fuschia scarf. Roch Voisine, Caroline Néron, Jacynthe,
McLaren-Mercedes driver Heikki Kovalainen struck a pose for the cameras (side note: race car drivers are all so short!), while Canadiens teammates rounded out the sports contingent.
Alex Kovalev, in a pink striped shirt and white pants, professed himself to be still recovering from the whirlwind hockey season and stated his intention to spend Grand Prix weekend networking and raising money for his foundation.
Habs defenceman Mike Komisarek - who could easily win a prize for Bluest Eyes on the Red Carpet - admitted he wasn't much into all the glamour surrounding Grand Prix weekend but was looking forward to watching the races.
"It's nice to come to Montreal when the Canadiens aren't the biggest thing in town," he said.
Tapis rouge pour notre jet set
Joueurs de hockey, pilotes de F-1 et vedettes québécoises étaient les invités de la 5e nuit Mercedes Benz au Casino de Montréal, une des soirées les plus jet set de l’année. Parlant de Ferrari, Jean-Luc Brassard partira filmer les usines de la célèbre écurie italienne en octobre. On verra le résultat à Comment c’est fait sur Canal Z. « On est une des premières équipes de production à avoir le droit d’y entrer », a-t-il dit.
Comme chaque année, Fabienne Larouche, grande fan de formule 1, était fidèle au poste. « J’aime le happening, j’aime le bruit des moteurs, j’aime l’odeur de caoutchouc, j’aime tout de la F-1 ! », a-t-elle dit.
Gino Vannelli a fait une entrée remarquée sur le tapis rouge. L’artiste de 55 ans à la chevelure bien garnie habite entre la Hollande et l’Oregon.
Il prépare un nouvel album, The Dutch Beat, tout comme Roch Voisine qui revenait tout juste de Nashville où il a enregistré pendant cinq mois son prochain album, intitulé Americana.
Après le tapis rouge, les 500 invités se sont dirigés vers le Cabaret. Ils ont soupé devant un concert de Chico and The Gypsies. Jean-Pierre Curtat, chef exécutif du Casino, se chargeait du volet gastronomique de cette soirée

DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That Play Station's - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is with Gino Vannelli's *Appaloosa* on Flash FM the "Pop" station???
The soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is presented as a series of radio stations that broadcast music and information to Vice City, circa 1984.
The soundtrack box set is available for digital download from the iTunes Store via the official Vice City Stories website.
DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That Steven Ivory has been a music and culture journalist for more than twenty-five years. His work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Essence, Vibe, and The Source, among other publications. His column...
STEVEN IVORY: Turned On and Out.
During an afternoon ride up the Pacific Coast, I played Tieece lots of music she hadn't heard before but enjoyed: Brenda Russell, Todd Rungren, Michael Henderson. Sarah Vaughn. Vintage Gino Vannelli.
This article is pretty personal again and the editors will create a web page with this article and picture and try to translate it to the English/American language.
In the meantime we print the picture in small format in this Gino Vannelli newspaper...
Last week we went in our car did the radio on and we heard Gino Vannelli's WILD HORSES...
And during the Top who know how much or how many? And we do not know the radio station anymore but we remember they played HURTS TO BE IN LOVE!!! So a little bit of attention for Gino Vannelli life's work again in the Holland atmosphere after the negative head lines in all the media after the North Sea Jazz 2008 interview.
By the way the ticket sales for the Deventer benefit started today, see our Gino Vannelli tour data and information web page...
Maybe this web site where you can listen live to Dutch radiostations also Radio 2!!! is a good idea, you only have to consider the time difference in your country with Holland/the Netherlands... Nederland fm...
The Dutch text literal says: "GINO VANNELLI outgrows his wild hairs and the disco..."
DO YOU KNOW/DID YOU KNOW??? That there is a "maybe" GINO VANNELLI live concert in Holland on 19 September 2008??? And that we do not know yet where or what or how??? So keep your eyes and ears open and let us know when you find something on the internet!!!
There will be an interview too in the VARA tv guide around the time Gino Vannelli's new album comes out... So keep your eyes open in October 2008. The real Gino Vannelli collectors want to have these original interviews in the original newspaper and tv guide.
New GINO VANNELLI concerts with complete different musical projects are going to happen in 2009!
And we have to wait a little bit longer for the new Gino Vannelli DutchBeat album.
The video, taken from a 1977 episode of the show, features dancers showing off the Hustle and other retro moves and is set on any given night to popular tunes of yesteryear.
The crowd erupts when one particular dancer appears, boogeying by his lonesome in a skin-tight T-shirt that says "Gino." Over time, he has achieved cult status in Beantown: Fans show up in "Gino Time" T-shirts and bust their own disco moves when the clip plays. Celtics players even imitate his arm-swinging dance.
The mysterious man called Gino, who resembles Cat Stevens or Frank Serpico, has become a cult phenomenon not just at courtside but also on the Web, and a kind of alternative mascot. But Gino is one of the accidental celebrities, now common in the Internet era, who become famous for reasons that aren't entirely clear.
In this case, no one is really sure why one dancer in a 30-year-old video packed with bell-bottoms, tall Afros and airplane collars garnered special attention.
But there are theories. "It's just that he's such a creature of the '70s -- such an odd-looking guy," says Ted Tye, a real-estate developer in the Boston area. "And he's got 'Gino' written on his shirt so he's the only identifiable character" in the video.
Gino-fan man is also a symbol for New England's love affair with its resurrected basketball team. If the video gets an airing in the Celtics' NBA Finals series with the Los Angeles Lakers, it will be a good sign for Boston fans. It runs only late in games when a Celtics victory is certain -- a nod to an older tradition, when franchise patriarch Red Auerbach used to light up a cigar when a game was under control. Some fans have dubbed the video the "virtual victory cigar."
The Celtics have been using the video for a few years, but it didn't get a mass following because the losing team didn't have many opportunities for disco celebration. This year the Celtics posted the best record in the league, and "the cult of Gino has really taken hold," Rich Gotham, the Celtics' team president, says.
The "Gino" on the dancer's T-shirt refers to the Italian-Canadian pop singer Gino Vannelli, whose 1976 tour paraphernalia includes the shirt worn by the man in the video. Mr. Vannelli says he was surprised when a musician friend told him about the Gino hubbub about six months ago. "It was like taking a weird psychedelic journey," says the 55-year-old.
Fans have been clamoring for months to learn the identity of the man wearing the shirt. "The hell with the real Gino," says one poster on a Celtics blog. "I just want the dancing, Gino fan." Some thought they had the Gino fan found. Dave Menachery, a student at MIT's Sloan School of Management, says he was at a game when the cameras spotted a 70s-looking bearded man in the crowd and flashed him up on the Jumbotron. "Everyone started going crazy," he says, "because they all thought it was Gino -- the guy in the T-shirt, I mean."
The Celtics organization initially tried to search for the man several months ago and hoped to bring him to the TD Banknorth Garden for a game, but Mr. Gotham says superstar forward Kevin Garnett told him that might detract from the magic of the ritual. "That would ruin it," he recalls Mr. Garnett telling him. "He could be old and bald and fat now."
"I was like, 'Oh my God, it's Joe Massoni!'" says Ms. Izen, who says she is the redhead to the right of him in the video.
Ms. Izen, who is now 52 and is involved in theater, was a regular dancer on "American Bandstand" in the mid-1970s. She says didn't know Mr. Massoni very well but lent him the tight Gino Vannelli T-shirt. But she did remember stopping by his family's Italian restaurant in Rialto, Calif., between shootings one day.
So when she set out to find him, she began calling Rialto's Italian restaurants. No luck. She turned to the white pages of the phone book. On the second try, she reached a woman who said she was
The news couldn't have been sadder. Mr. Massoni, the woman said, passed away 18 years ago from pneumonia. "I didn't want to burst everybody's bubble because it's been so neat what's been going on in Boston," Ms. Izen said. The Wall Street Journal couldn't independently verify the claim that Mr. Massoni is the deceased dancer. But Dick Clark Productions vouches for Ms. Izen's story. A spokeswoman for the San Bernardino, Calif., coroner's office confirmed that a man named Joseph R. Massoni passed away in 1990 at age 34 in Fontana, Calif. Calls to the residence of Mr. Massoni's brother weren't returned.
"If it's true, we are saddened to hear that news," says the Celtics' Mr. Gotham. "'Gino' has provided a lot of enjoyment for our fans, and his spirit will live on during the NBA Finals."
And thanks to the Internet, Mr. Massoni will be immortalized whether the Celtics win or lose.
Also read the articles dated:
"Our favorite singer will give an unusual concert on August 23 in Knowlton, Quebec. Gino will perform with the Sherbrooke symphony, as part of the Montreal Symphony's Bel Canto event. Not only will Gino do songs from Canto, but as they say: "irresistible Neapolitan songs and traditional Italian popular songs". Note that Gino very seldom sings songs from other people. He probably did only a handful of times since the Jacksonville Five days..."

Gino arranged a new very cool version of "Wild Horses" about the 14th...
"Woman On Top" changes and changes into a real work of Art with catchy tunes and the song builts up a tensity like you never heard before... Gino Vannelli has the tendency to create and compose very exciting and killing songs which can blow us all away!!! But people who read this already know this but we cannot say it enough times and we keep on saying this : GINO VANNELLI: The Master of Music!!!
During a live performance in Rotterdam, a benefit again for terminally ill Children, Gino Vannelli performed with Uropa and to surprise us all, Gino did a duet with Kim Hoorweg a 15 years old beautiful young Lady with a voice of an angel and who already had a record deal with Verve, a jazz label, on the age of 14 years old. They sang Gino Vannelli's "None So Beautiful As The Brave" and the way Gino pushed Kim through the song was so very graceful, touching and breathtaking. Two so different voices came together in this very emotional song. Kim is the Daughter of Erwin Hoorweg who plays in Uropa on the keys... People in the audience were flabbergasted...

There were more Gino Vannelli songs in the top 2000 or nominated for the top 2000 in the last 10 years like HURST TO BE IN LOVE and JACK MIRACULOUS but those songs are not in the statistics as far as we know. We will do research on the world wide web.
Barend & Trees, The name of Gino (or at least a guy wearing a Gino Vannelli T-Shirt) is making quite a sensation here at basketball games in Boston. Here is an amusing post for your site. Regards,
Fred T.
BOSTON GLOBE newspaper:
Gino night fever
At Celtics games, this moment has been christened Gino Time. When it arrives, dudes (and dames) rise up from their chairs, beer in one hand, pumped fist in the other, upper teeth gently pressing down on lower lip, and begin to do the Gino. A small sample suggests this dance is undoable. Gino's hips undulate. His arms swing gracefully from near his head down to his waist and into a soft clap. He's committing a roller-rink seduction with no skates.
These moves are from a simpler time. No one who learned to dance after 1980 knows how to flow like that. At the Garden, the Gino is basically whatever happens to your body when music plays. It is often "wave your hands in the air, wave 'em like you just don't care." It's often as unsightly as the home victories are glorious.
The team began playing the "Bandstand" moment a few years ago. But in a winning season, the clip has become an infectious phenomenon. There are T-shirts. There are rumors (maybe KG does the Gino, too). There is the magical, unprecedented sight of people surnamed McNulty and Callinan dancing at a Boston Celtics basketball game - from good seats and bad.
One of the pleasures of this craze has been watching the main show shift from the parquet floor to the stands. You can see the players on the bench turn into astonished spectators of the unsafe-looking, borderline disinhibition erupting in the stands. The Celtics look on in much the same way the nation watched Jonathan Papelbon's Riverdance - in cringing amusement.
Someday, Gino might also give the Celtics its "Sweet Caroline," a stupid ritual that turns collectively cathartic - a holy necessity. But the "Bandstand" clip is still at the novelty stage. For one thing, the featured groover's name is unknown (the Celtics are trying to find him in order to make a documentary about him). His shirt says "Gino," as in Gino Vannelli, the curiously irresistible Italian-Canadian singer whose 1978 hit "I Just Wanna Stop" remains a velour-padded slow jam.
For another, Gino was plucked, YouTube-style, from a kitsch graveyard (the screen shows a VH-1 logo) and who's to say some other viral-video craze won't replace it? In the meantime, someone very real and very gymnastic must be worried: the Celtics' Lucky the Leprechaun. His obsolescence could be imminent. Who needs a live mascot when you can download one from YouTube?
That any of this is happening at Celtics games is richly ironic, since it's the sort of distraction Red Auerbach disdained for his team. He was a purist. The T-shirt cannons, the Jumbotron, the acrobatic mascot, the cheerleaders: it's all noisy pizzazz. What about the basketball? (Doc Rivers doesn't seem all that crazy about the frippery, either.) People who miss the austerity of the Auerbach era might want to cover their ears. Not that it will do any good. Your heart might long for no-frills Celtics, but when it's Gino Time your heinie might beg to differ. By Wesley Morris,

Singer amused by fans' call for a 'T'
Singer Gino Vannelli has suddenly become popular with Celtics fans - but he sees a foul on the play.
By Marc J. Spears
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - The real Gino behind the Gino T-shirt is excited about the Gino craze at Celtics home games but is concerned about T-shirt sales.
more stories like this
When the Celtics have a home win in hand and a timeout arrives, an old video from "American Bandstand" is often shown on the Jumbotron at TD Banknorth Garden. Of all the dancers shown, fans get most excited about a bearded man who is grooving slowly while wearing a tight shirt that reads "Gino."
The shirt refers to Gino Vannelli, an Italian-Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, and composer, and it is from one of his 1970s concert tours.
On Friday, Vannelli said he recently saw the "Gino" video on YouTube and is excited that Celtics fans are getting joy from it.
"It's almost as if when I look at that YouTube thing that I was standing out of my body and I wasn't on the planet anymore, just sort of looking back on the grave," said Vannelli in a phone interview. "I remember that T-shirt from the '70s from a tour from my 'Gemini' album.
"The main thing is the Celtics are doing really good. Whatever inspires people . . . It is a totally bizarre thing. Perhaps I ought to make an appearance to sing the national anthem to set the record straight on who the real Gino is.
"I heard about it [two weeks] ago. I heard about it in Holland. People sent me the YouTube link. I gawked and chuckled about it."
Vannelli, however, said that the website has not received permission to sell his old concert T-shirt.
"I have no connection with that," said Vannelli, who splits time living in Holland and Oregon. "I believe that they have to get the permission from the record company and my permission. I want to make sure it's on the up and up."
An e-mail from the website in response to a Globe inquiry said, "Press.com is an automated service that allows independent users to upload art and sell merchandise featuring that art. During this process our users agree to terms and conditions and ultimately they are responsible for the content they upload. We looked into the images in question and have decided they should be removed from the system. You will notice that the products are no longer available for sale, and as our site reindexes the images will disappear from from search.
As of yesterday afternoon, however, the Vannelli T-shirts in question were still being sold.
Zijn verblijf in Nederland en de ANWB reclame, hebben het geheugen van de mensen waarschijnlijk weer opgefrist!
Van de week op mijn werk, kwam "Wild Horses" op de radio toen zei mijn collega "Hé daar heb je Don d'r vriendje".
Iedereen "Oh is dat Gino Vannelli" en allemaal het hele nummer meezingen hè van A tot Z.....
Wat is dat toch met die mensen dat ze die nummers wel kennen maar niet weten wie het zingt? ..... Zo'n onopvallende verschijning was hij toch niet destijds......haha.
ENGLISH/ENGELS:Hey Barend and Trees,
His stay in Holland and the ANWB commercials probably refreshes people's memories! Last week at my job "Wild Horses" was on the radio and my colleague yelled: "Hey there is Don's friend!!!" Everybody said: "Ohhhhhhh is that Gino Vannelli???" and everybody, really everody sang along with the lyrics of "Wild horses" from the beginning till the end. Amazing isn't it??? Was is it with people who know the songs but they do not know who sings these songs? ....... And HE was not that unspectacular in those days, his looks and voice struck millions of people on this planet!......Hahaha.

29 October 2007 GINO VANNELLI did a benefit concert for the Culibus Foundation. Gino Vannelli performed with Uropa for charity. Culibus is a bus where top chefs from the top star restaurants in Holland cook nice and healthy meals for children who have less oppertunities and less chances in this world. Children who can use support and something extra. Again Gino Vannelli supports the children of this world!!!
This special concert is in many ways organized for the right reasons and Gino Vannelli gave hand and heart to this good, very good musical project...
Gino Vannelli gave everything for the full 1000% and together with the extreme talented and very cute Lucas Jussen and the beautiful orchestra they performed CANTO live on this amazing wonderful stage.
During the first tunes of CANTO the editors were so shocked about the greatness of this Gino Vannelli masterpiece, we could not hold our eyes dry, Gino's voice the young boy behind this huge black grand-piano and the whole orchestra..... WHAT A DREAM!!! WHAT A JOY!!! The way Lucas played cannot be told with words, you have to hear and feel the way Lucas moves his fingers on the black and white keys, it's like ballet on the grand-piano...
Read more on this web page, the editors will tell as much as we can... and show pictures. We are working on a new web page so you all can see and feel a little bit of this amazing evening where the sounds and melodies of Bach, Chopin and Gino Vannelli came together in the Dutch air...
We all know the dedication to music of Gino Vannelli but we have seen Jaap van Sweden, the conductor, now............... And this man is music, lives music!!! Jaap van Zweden and Gino Vannelli working together is energy and electricity and musical knowledge.
In spite of big problems Gino Vannelli put His heart into these 2 live performances of PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE and CANTO. PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE made us smile, soooo FANTASTIC!!! The feelings after Gino Vannelli's performance were super positive and people were amazed to hear Gino sing like an opera singer... that's what the editors heard in the audience. You have to remember that most of the audience were people who go to classical concerts.

"Besloten concert Gino Vanelli
Maastricht - Holland: Zanger Gino Vanelli komt op 25-januari 2008 naar Maastricht voor een concert in De Bonbonnière. Het slechte nieuws: de toegangskaarten worden alleen verspreid via sponsoren van Jazz Maastricht.
Meer hierover in de krant van dinsdag."
IN ENGLISH:
Maastricht - Holland: Singer Gino Vanelli comes to Maastricht on January the 25th, 2008 for a concert in the Bonbonnière. The bad news is: The tickets will be spread only thru sponsors of Jazz Maastricht." More about this in Tuesday's newspaper.
TRUE OR NOT TRUE??? NOT TRUE!!!
WAAR OF NIET WAAR??? NIET WAAR!!!
Uropa is a new band with 6 musicians and Gino Vannelli of course and yessss this is the way how to write Uropa, it's not a typing error or something but it's Uropa. We recognize some of the musicians who are in the Houdini Horns and we see a bass-player Michel van der Schie who was with Gino in the tv show of 18 November 2005 in Holland. And there is a complete new powerful drummer. A UROPA web page is in the make!
Gino Vannelli introduces:
During rehearsals or soundchecks there is also Jan Dekker who plays the trumpet when Angelo Verploegen is not available...
Number 574
Yes again they do not know how to write Gino's last name!!!
Dear Barend & Trees,
My family and I enjoyed the first concert in Copenhagen (2. juli.2007)
The concert in general was nice but Gino appeared in the last
quarterpart only. So we missed him in the beginning.
He performed 5 songs: Wheels of life, Brother to brother, Don´t give up on me, People gotta move, and one more.
As always his performance was great and I am looking forward to next concert when it comes.
Perhaps in Stockholm later this year.
I am not a musician myself so you must think of somebody else. But I have
enjoyed the music of Gino since one evening in 1975 when I heard "Gettin´high" on the radio.
VBR Henrik L.

Coming up soon: A letter from Gino Vannelli to his fans, friends, family and all the artistic people on this planet! Arty types with arty minds stay keen!!!
This amount of people who wanted to see Gino was a milestone in Gino Vannelli's career.
People literal had to fight for a seat, the doors were closed because there were already too many people inside and you can guess they did not want to leave...
The voice was superb, powerful, strong and passionate and reached the levels of superb VANNELLI quality and together with Michiel Borstlap's sound of the keyboard/piano, the agressive drumms and the violent bass the audience was impressed very deep, deep to the bones. The sound was incredible and even when you never ever heard of Gino Vannelli's music and you were in the Darling Hall from 10pm till 11.30pm you were in a weird kind of flush or whirl of excitement. On the first row where people were hanging on the high stage the tears came down like in a waterfall...
We all know about the looks of Gino and His humour but when they started a super cool version of "Black Cars" Gino hung a black and white scarf on His snow white shirt and all 4 of them put on deep dark sun-glasses the audience went wild.
A drummer who got the attention of the audience because of his wild, strong and powerful drumming, Erik Kooger who wanted to kill the drum in a very positive way and he must feel his arms and wrists today and many days more...
Michiel Borstlap & Erik Kooger & Boudewijn Lucas played Gino Vannelli's music so intense and with love...
Super good setlist with 3 new songs which are not recorded on cd yet...
The editors (B&T) type this article on another computer because the editors computers crashed like hell... due to a virus or just the hard-disk could not bear all the Gino Vannelli stuff anymore... and as soon as possible we will make a North Sea Jazz web page with many pictures and words... GINO VANNELLI & Michiel Borstlap IS BIG NEWS in Holland this weekend!!!
The picture seen actually is the last edition of this magazine number 9.
Inside of this magazine numbered 9 an advice is written Gino vannelli interview in the next edition.
I will send you the correct link with the good magazine when it will be on sale.
have a nice day

DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That Gino Vannelli was filmed and interviewed during a meal at an Italian restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ??? See and enjoy!!!
DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That there is a radio program to listen to, all about Gino Vannelli, in the birthday wish number 46 of the year 2007 ??? It's in Dutch but we tried to translate the message of number 46 in English so you can follow the radioprogram a little bit and the music speaks for itself anyways.....
Hi Barend and Trees,
You might want to list this on your website today.
Gino's 1979 appearance on Soul Train will be shown on US tv over the next couple
days.
In my local city in Oregon it will be on past Midnight tomorrow.
But Chicago it aired today on a national TV channel.
The show is syndicated so you check you local TV schedule for when Soul Train
will be shown. I've no idea what cities it's shown in.
But Gino performed twice.
I don't think it's been shown for decades on TV here.
Anyway, thought you might want to alert US fans that of this news.
BTW, my brother is in Vegas for the concert tonight and Sunday.
Hope things are well for you both.
Best, Mark

Legendary Artist Gino Vannelli Brings The Excitement Of His Sold-Out World Wide Performances To Flamingo Las Vegas
The acclaimed singer/ songwriter will perform a limited engagement beginning May 23, 2007
Las Vegas – Contemporary pop classics icon, Gino Vannelli returns to Las Vegas for a limited engagement at the world famous Flamingo Las Vegas. Vannelli returns to the Las Vegas Strip beginning May 23, 2007 in the Flamingo Showroom.
Perhaps best known for his pop classic hits of the seventies and eighties including, “I Just Wanna Stop,” “People Gotta Move” and “Living Inside Myself,” Vannelli has enjoyed a diverse musical career as a singer and songwriter and continues to achieve international acclaim.
With a series of successful albums that have garnered notoriety on the Billboard charts and sold-out world tours, Vannelli’s R&B and Jazz-based musical repertoire has developed a significant cross over audience. Throughout his career, Vannelli has been nominated for several Grammy Awards and has headlined concerts in major US cities and throughout the world. In his native Canada, his talents were recognized with a plethora of Juno Awards. Recently, Vannelli and his band played to sold-out crowds in South Africa, Holland, Russia, the Far East and across Europe.
In 2005, Vannelli released his 15th album, “These Are the Days”. The highly-acclaimed album includes modern and updated versions of seven of his timeless classics alongside seven new pop hits. Today, Gino Vannelli remains one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary pop music.
“We’re excited to have such a legendary performer in the Flamingo Showroom,” said Don Marrandino, president of Flamingo Las Vegas. “He puts on a well-crafted and energetic show and his unique blend of lyrics and music combined with his powerful stage presence makes this show something you don’t want to miss.”
Gino Vannelli brings his sophisticated musical talents and modernized classics to the Flamingo Showroom at 7:30 pm on May 23-27, 2007. The show is dark May 25. Additional summer show dates are also on sale now: For more information on show times and tickets call 1-800-221-7299 or visit www.flamingolasvegas.com.
The concerts will be recorded for TV, and combined with a number of interviews they will be put
together into a new jazz documentary by Niels Lan Doky. In 2005 Niels Lan Doky launched the
documentary, ”Between a smile and a tear”. His second film will be recorded in places around and
on Bornholm.
The friendship of American musicians Sanborn and Brecker dates back decades, and both of
them are double Grammy-winners. During their careers, they have performed together several
times, so they know each other very well. Moreover, they have played separately with huge names
like Sting, Eric Clapton, Larry Coryell, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and James
Taylor.
The following day, the instrumental musicians will be replaced by two singers, who have never
worked together before, but both of them are looking forward to the encounter: Swedish Lisa
Nilsson and Canadian Gino Vannelli. Lisa Nilsson is certainly not unknown in Denmark. Her
1992 break-through album, ”Himlen Runt Hörnet”, was sold in Denmark by the thousands. Lisa
Nilsson has wandered from pop to jazz, having done recordings with e.g. Danish Niels Henning
Ørsted Pedersen. She is excited to come and sing with Gino Vannelli, who has a series of albums
behind him, ranging from pop, with associations to Frank Sinatra, and to jazz and funk.
Both nights, the band of Niels Lan Dokys will be there, including:
Niels Lan Doky (piano),
Only 340 tickets will be available per concert. Price: 680 DKK per ticket plus a fee of 15 DKK.

Vrijdag 24 november 2006 - Tilburg - Wereldster en ex-ladykiller Gino Vannelli begon gisteren aan een masterclass op de Tilburgse Rockacademie. „Mijn moeder vond dat ik moest gaan."
Terwijl de meeste studenten te laat binnen komen druppelen, is de meester zelf maar vast aan het inspelen. Grijzende krullen, baardje, bril, fluffy roze trui. Ooit staarde hij met blote (behaarde) bast en zwoele blik talloze meisjeskamers binnen. Maar ook sekssymbolen worden ouder.
Gino Vannelli In de jaren tachtig verantwoordelijk voor wereldhits als 'It hurts to be in love' en 'Wild Horses' en sneller kloppende harten bij (vooral vrouwelijke) romantici. Gisteren begon de sympathieke 53-jarige Canadees van Italiaanse komaf aan een twee dagen durende masterclass op de Tilburgse Rockacademie. 'The Art of songwriting', ofwel 'hoe schrijf ik een hit?'. Waarom Gino Vannelli? „Mijn leraar Alexander Beets heeft contact met Gino", zegt organisator/student Daniel Versteegh (24). „Gino is een inspirerende persoonlijkheid. Heeft zijn carrière heel eigenzinnig vormgegeven. Wil hij jazz of klassiek, dan doet hij dat gewoon." Dus werd in de Tilburgse studio een knusse kring gemaakt, de spotlights gedempt. „Vertel eerst wie jullie zijn en wat jullie hier doen." „Mijn moeder vond dat ik moest gaan", giechelt Janneke, „om 'hallo' te zeggen. Dus, 'hello'." Maar natuurlijk, ze is er - net als de anderen - ook om iets te leren. Eerste oefening is gebaseerd op een gedicht, geschreven door een negenjarig, terminaal kankerpatiëntje. De opdracht: schrijf er muziek bij, of liever: een hit. Vannelli: „Het moet het 'We are the World' worden voor alle kankerpatiëntjes. En denk erom: de platenmaatschappij wil het nu uitbrengen." Iemand probeert een rap. Te delicaat voor rap, vindt Vannelli.
Deelnemer Ivo improviseert een niet onverdienstelijke r&b-versie. „Te boy band-achtig", vindt de meester. „Het mag best donkerder, er gaat hier een kind dood hè."
Dan waagt Vannelli zelf een poging achter het keyboard. „Mag ik heel eerlijk zijn?", reageert een studente. „Ik vind het nogal over de top." „Ja, Céline Dion-achtig", zegt de rapper, „niet écht." Vannelli slaat een bruggetje naar het belang van de gemoedstoestand. „Kijk, dit nummer vergt een breekbare opstelling. Zorg dat je in die stemming komt. Klink alsof je je echt slecht voelt. Ook al voel je je geweldig. We don't care, we zijn professionele songwriters, you know."
Friday 24 November 2006 - Tilburg - Worldstar and ex-ladykiller Gino Vannelli started a masterclass yesterday at the Rockacademie of Tilburg, Holland.
"My mother told me to go..."
While most of the students trickled in too late, the Master was already playing in and prepared Himself... Grey curls, little beard, pair of glasses and a fluffy pink sweater. In the past He stared with a far away look in His eyes and with a naked (hairy/curly) breast into the teenage girls bedrooms. But also sex-symbols get older. Gino Vannelli responsible in the 80's for top world hits like "It Hurts To Be In Love" and "Wild Horses" and more faster pumping hearts in the bodies of the romantic people, especially female. Yesterday the friendly 53 years old Canadian from Italian roots started a two days masterclass at the Rockacademie in Tilburg.
ANWB
Anyways, Vannelli is hip and popular again since the use of His soulfunkclassic "People Gotta Move"in the ANWB commercials. But how do you write such a top hit? "Not in 2 hours" gave Vannelli away to about 25 students, mostly songwriters. "But in two days we can do a lot. He says: "the most important thing is the right mood, give your muses a chance". So they made a cosy circle, powered down the spotlights. "First introduce yourselves and tell us what you are doing overhere." "My mother told me to go", said the giggling Janneke, to say hello. "So here I am: HELLO". But of course she is here too to learn something - like the others - The first practice is based on a poem, written by a 9 year old terminal cancerpatient. The assignment: Write music for or with the poem, or rather a hit.
Vannelli: "This hit must grow into the 'We Are The world' for all the cancerpatients. And remember the recordcompany wants to release it NOW". Somebody tries a rap. Too delicate for a rap, says Vannelli. Participant Ivo improvise a not without merit r&b version. "Too boy bandish", says the Master. "It can show more darkness, a child is dying here eh?"
Than Vannelli jumps behind the keyboard Himself and makes an attempt.
We don't care, we are professional songwriters, you know".

DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That
A Gino Vannelli fan had an e-mail conversation with Russ Mitchell right before the Saturday's Farewell Early Show:
Fan: Hi Russ,
Congratulations, and I wish you the very best in your new position. It's my deepest hope that when you wake tomorrow you can say,
"everything is right where I am." gino vannelli
Russ: Thanks a lot.
"Something Tells Me" this is going to be good.
Russ
Fan: You're silly. I don't even want to think about what time you're getting up, if you're emailing and quoting Gino at 5:00AM!!!! Even I couldn't do that!
Hope it went well, I taped it for later! "Big Dreamers Never Sleep"
Russ: Thanks..better get to work so I won't have to "Keep on Walking"...
Russ
Fan: Ya, I think the "Pauper in Paradise" outfit has already been auctioned!
We went to a supermarket yesterday and we looked in all the tv guides in the racks and in all the tv guides the Borstlap/Vannelli tv show is printed and now we understand why this printing is a big mistake.
We also looked in the VPRO tv guide to see if there was an article or an interview or maybe pictures but NO... nothing!!!
So calm down Gino Vannelli and Michiel Borstlap fans of Holland, we still have 2 weeks to get ready for this very special music program of free sounds... GINO VANNELLI sounds!!!
We assume the VPRO TV knows best so we keep the videorecorders and the dvd recorders stand by till Sunday morning 18 February 2007, yes the morning!!! 10.30 - 11.30 and when we forget it there is a second chance on Saterday morning, yes again morning!!! 24 February 2007 at 9.00am... But please check it out yourselves in your tv guides or on the internet, one thing is for sure and that's VPRO TV and the program's name is Vrije Geluiden on Nederland 1... A morning music program with special elements in music. The name of the program says it already: VRIJE GELUIDEN (FREE SOUNDS)
DO YOU KNOW??? - DID YOU KNOW???: That Gino Vannelli's name comes up in Episode 18 of a show with the title : Urges which is original aired at 20 October 1995... You can hear it on a dvd called Space Ghost Coast to Coast volume one from the cartoon network printed in 2003 and a special features : Extended Versions of Urges... The ghost is in his car and all "horny." He is driving away to meet his girlfriend and the other one tells him he has a Gino Vannelli tape in the glove compartment! The script says: "SG: All right, but in the event you lose your head, call a cab. Oh, and, uh, there's a Gino Vannelli tape in the glove compartment..."
The radio Veronica top 1000 of all times:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
But lava lights long ago went dark, turntables are for retro audiophiles or hip hop scratchy scratchers (DJs), and women, well for many unlucky men, they simply come and go.
The editors received a message from Gino Vannelli's record company about a new GINO VANNELLI interview with pictures in REVOLVER #25 April 2009. A music magazine from Holland in the Dutch language!!! The titel in Dutch is
The editors found a legal download of Gino Vannelli's first radio single at a web site called 
People all over this world take/steal information or pictures to use everywhere for instance in Newspapers or web sites or on
DO YOU KNOW??? DID YOU KNOW??? That Gino Vannelli composed music for a peace documentary called: "The Wounded Dove" The WOUNDED DOVE will be a 5 X 1 hour television series that documents and celebrates the struggle of brave peacemakers from 1900 to the present time. Men and women around the world who worked tirelessly to foster peace, then struggled tenaciously to maintain it.
A Hollywood/TV superstar has agreed to do the narration. Each episode begins with original theme music composed by Gino Vannelli played over rare archival footage drawn from international sources. 
June 2008 Montréal, Québec, Canada, the F-1 Grand Prix is in town and also the paparazzi because big stars and celebrities are in town too. There is a "Bal de Grand Prix" in the casino of Montréal and guess who is walking the red carpet??? Mr. Gino Vannelli!!! The theme of the party was Andalusia. 
Here is another article in the Wall Street Journal: One line in this article is not so nice for the Gino Vannelli fans but the editors post this article anywas...
Dick Clark Productions, which produced "American Bandstand" until it went off the air in 1989, agreed to help locate the man after being contacted by The Wall Street Journal. The company reviewed old tapes and talked to former dancers to uncover the mystery. One dancer, Terry Izen of East Highlands, Calif., received a call a few weeks ago from another former dancer telling her to check out the Gino video on YouTube.
Hope to see you in Helmond on Sunday 20 April 2008 for again a magical live concert with UROPA featuring GINO VANNELLI. Read

Gino-style T-shirts are being worn by fans and even being sold online at press.com. One reads, "Kevin & Paul & Ray & Gino," another says, "The Big Three," with a picture of triplet Ginos and the replica Vannelli concert T-shirt. "I want to buy one of those," said brawny Celtics rookie Glen Davis. "I'm going to get a 2XL so my [muscles] will show."
Saterday evening 1 December 2007 in the most beautiful concertgebouw (concertbuilding) in Amsterdam, the big concert-hall completely sold out. Gino Vannelli, Lucas Jussen, Jooske Heijsteeg and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Conductor Jaap van Zweden an evening to remember and the proceeds are for a very good charity called the Papageno foundation for autistic children and this foundation is specialized and do deep research in music theraphy for autistic children.
HOLLAND: The Vara gids, this is a tv guide in Holland. The date is 14 - 20 July 2007 and the title of the article (page 9) is:
A web site of a professional photographer called Jan van Breda with 2 Gino Vannelli pictures. (No more links because Gino's photos are gone and that means no more links to that web site...)
Gino Vannelli's name was in the Dutch news this Sunday because of the bizarre attendance and why the people who were inside the Darling Hall were so happy... They mentioned Gino Vannelli's name at least 4 times in a few seconds on tv Rijnmond.
400 - 600 people were still outside the concert-hall and were not allowed to go inside because it was not safe, imagine the faces of those people all down of disappointment and some cried like little children. 
Vannelli builts a bridge to the importance of the state of mind. "Look, this song needs a fragile formation. Put yourself in that state of mind. sound and feel like you are in a very bad state of mind even when you feel good!
