Powerful People/Storm at Sunup

by Gino Vannelli

Overview

This release from the BGO label combines two of Gino Vannelli's albums for A&M, Powerful People (1974) and Storm at Sunup (1975). Both releases peaked in the Top 60 of the Billboard 200, while "People Gotta Move" -- the lead song on the former -- was one of Vannelli's biggest singles and narrowly missed the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Those who pick up a well-chosen Vannelli compilation can get the essential songs, but soft rock diehards can obtain a fair amount of Vannelli's choice album-bound material right here. ~ Andy Kellman
