Living Inside Myself is a song built on layers upon layers of musical complexities to the point that when combined with the introspective lyrics, I sometimes have to stop listening and step outside to chill out for a bit or I feel my head might explode.

Gino Vannelli recorded some of the most innovative and unique albums of the 1970's . He had a sound like no other artist. He combined Rock ,R&B, and Jazz into a sound that was uniquely HIS. NO OTHER ARTIST sounded anything like Gino Vannelli.He was one of a kind
His powerful vocals , backed by the musical arrangements of his brothers, Joe and Ross Vannelli, made his albums a true family affair The Vannelli Brothers (all 3 of them), were involved in all aspects of their creation; WRITING , ARRANGMENTS , PRODUCTION...they did it ALL. and he is still performing today...and still married to his childhood sweetheart,Patricia, after over 30 years !!! Gino should at least be CONSIDERED.

Gino is a no. He won't sniff the hall but Gino is good. But this isn't the Hall of Good (unless you are Bon Jovi).
"PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE" is a knock out early single.
"I JUST WANNA STOP" being from Montreal.

You're right. This isn't " The Hall of Good"
It's The Hall of BETTER .
And Gino was, and is , BETTER then many of the so-called artists ALREADY IN !!
I don't HAVE to mention NAMES . You KNOW Who they are!!
YES to GINO !!

Gino Vanelli is more than just a Rock musician. He is the whole package, World Class Singer, Arranger, Performer and Multi-instrumentalist. His Rock songs and arrangements are unsurpassed in the industry. Gino deserves to be in the RRHOF for his complete lifelong dedication to music .

I Just Wanna Stop * Living Inside Myself * Hurts To Be In Love * Black Cars * Just A Motion Away * Wild Horses

Black Cars sounds like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, or at least that's what it makes me think about.

Black cars look better in the shade

Wild horses could not drive me away from you

It's just a motion away

Gino Vannelli. Sill writing, arranging, teaching and performing. He has headlined all over the world, and is master of a number of hits over many decades. Jazz, rock, classical. When you have in one man an artisit who has done and continues to do it all, what more is there to think about? Gino Vannelli belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
