Although I spent most of my years listening to metal.Years back when my brother was in THE Ohio State University.He would bring me home something to listen too that I had not really heard before.That's where I got into Gino Vannelli.The voice this man had and the range was amazing to me.The first Album I heard was Storm at Sun Up.When Brother to brother came out I felt the guy a musical genius.I know he's not for everyone but....
I loved the drumming on the Brother to Brother album,but when I raed Neil Peart say taht he was Awed and humbled when he heard his work with Vannelli and it inspired him to work on his own drumming to become better,I was like damn.Read what Peart and all his contempories had to say about this great drummer. http://www.markcraney.org/tributes/M...RobinFlans.pdf
