- This is PART 2 of the Gino video so many of you have written to me about. I have finally embraced technology. This is awesome Gino! I hope you enjoy it as much as I think you will! It explains so much about who the man is! Peace!

I have no words adequate to express my love for this brilliant artist and fellow Canadian!
Humble, kind, and an authentic man. ❤
Being at peace with yourself is life!
Quite a story, and we're so fortunate Gino would share it with us. And, thanks very much for posting this as well.
Gypsy Days is my second season favorite. The Gist of the Gemini is in my top 5 albums of all time. I so wish he could perform any one of those songs in his concerts. Seen him several times. Brother to Brother with Metropole Orchestra is my anthem. And I'm a woman.
Powerful powerful powerful documentary. Thank you for sharing this! I love and appreciate him even more now.
I grew up listening to his music, practicing my reading looking at the liner notes in great detail on the albums (pretty good for a 4 year old) because my mom listened to him and loved him which, of course, made her children love him as well. We graduated from Alvin and the Chipmunks by age 3 and whatever mom was listening to, we listened to. I can remember as a very small child trying to understand the meaning of his lyrics and read them over and over, asking questions, going to the dictionary and whatever else I had to do to comprehend his messages. Fast forward to 1991 and I was now 21 and although I still loved his music I was firmly entrenched in the grunge scene. I saw that he was coming to town and my mom hadn't seen him since the 70's, so I got tickets for her birthday. We had a wonderful mother daughter bonding time and after the show, I walked backstage (I already looked like I was in the business at the time, so no one questioned my being there). I saw Gino politely talking to a group of men and I got the feeling that he would have rather been leaving then talking, so I poked my head into the circle and said, "Gino, we're waiting out front for you. " in an attempt to "save" him from his pow wow with these people. To my surprise he said, "Ok! Excuse me gentlemen. " and followed me out. I should mention that I told my mom, still reeling from the show, that I was going to bring him out to meet her. She thought I was crazy as she watched me disappear into the crowd. I came back in just enough time to walk through the crowd, say what I said and bring him out to her. I'll never forget the look on her face when I had Gino in tow. She had to pick her face up off the ground! From there, we invited him for a drink, but he didn't embibe at the time, so we went for tea and dessert instead. He answered all of our questions and even shared tiramisu with my mother! There's more to the story, but he was a perfect gentleman and invited us to be his guests at his New York show two weeks later and we repeated the tea and dessert experience from the Philadelphia encounter. The pictures we have from those experiences are our prized possessions. Whenever my confidence is low, my mom reminds me of the time I had the confidence to go get Gino Vanelli to meet and hang out with us.... I have met and interacted with many famous people since then, but he was the first and by far the best of any famous person I have ever known.
Thank you, Gino!

'When you stop seeking, you find,"
Thank you for this deeply personal and revealing interview with a man I have a lifetime of affinity and respect for! I have followed Gino's career since Powerful People and have seen changes in him without ever knowing what prompted them. Now it comes full circle and I appreciate and love him even more!
He's a marvellous person...Always in control ..He has what we call the calm power.
I respect this wonderful complete artist leaving on the same country than me...

Sincer thanks for uploading, really interesting stuff.
I SOOO wanted to see and hear this!!!
One of the loves of my life
Screw Tampa Bay Gino!!! Come to Dallas TX
Tampa can wait!!! Love your music Gino!!!
Thanx for uploading this. Never seen this. Gino rules.
When I listen to your music I can feel what people in the church call anointing! It’s all in your music! It is the The Lord! I said to God, he’s been through something I can feel it in the music like Karen Carpenter. She had a dark night of the soul and didn’t survive! I’m glad you did! Sorry about your mother! I pray your wife is well! Come to Tulsa, Oklahoma
Shalom
I so needed to confirm my own survival spiritually & physically after having been where he has been. Still growing & learning through what I thought was the darkest part of my life 15yrs ago quitting music then only to be in an even darker place now, this somehow gives me hope...? Thank you, Gino Vanelli
when i listened to brother to brother, it had a profound effect on me,so when gino talks about the mystery, this is the closest in words i can say, his depth of thought and how he is able to use simple lanquage to express such depth i can totally relate, thank you for sharing
Very interesting to see and hear this side of Mr. Vannelli. I've been a huge fan of his since Powerful People. After Nightwalker my interests went elsewhere, as I was more fond of his grandiose, jazz-fusion and classical style compositions. I believe everyone is spiritual, it's just a matter of reconnecting with our source, as separation is present and future spiritual death. Gino has always been spiritual even in the midst of carnality, as have we all. So, his search is not surprising to me. I am happy that he undertook it because carnality for it's own sake is quite miserable and is void in the end. For me it meant separating myself from what I was largely taught about Christianity through people's hypocrisy to meeting Jesus, his followers and the various prophets, through the bible, for myself. Then I became convinced that Jesus was/is someone for whom what he said would make no sense except that he were actually divine as well as human, and the things he said resonated as truth as deeply as my awareness of my own existence. I'm not sure where Gino is but that's where I am. Peace.
We never know what the private side faces . Hard work sacrifice. Pressures if sucess. I never knew this Ive been a fan many years . Saw him in a concert. Hes like a helicopter ready to take off . I truly wish him the best and his wife and son . Brother ane Brother.. .Bob .
💕❤💖
i like your approach leeportcam.
Porcelain? because you feel this way, this is how we're all suppose to feel? Not me. I still have total faith in Jesus, cause I know him.
Excellent encounter. Thanks to the interviewer for letting him express as much as he did. There is a truth in everything Gino. The thing is people are looking for THEIR truth and not THE truth. The truth does not adapt to us. It is not like a glove that fits perfectly. Truth often is not what we expected but if we really looking and value it, we will accept it for what it his and adapt to it and will set you free. (John 8:32) I am very pleased to ear it counts so much for you.

He is the 2 rams and I am the 2 fish...no one would believe me. A generational musician, parents as well...Example...I asked a question...typing it out on CZcams...HE ANSWERED MY QUESTION TO A GUY NAMED MARK, WORD FOR WORD...not live...as I was placing the period at the end! Happens all the time with everything...this one 5 days ago. This is normal for me. But that's so small in comparison. It's a different world with God in charge...a personal relationship with God. If you are not with anyone for 20 years like me...hiding out, choosing to be alone...OMG it's like being a nun but totally different. I go both directions as well. I choose, but my circumstances rule. Oh yes, Buddha ...what an experience that was. And Rajneesh? Remember him? My deceased husband got me in to him...that was scary. Scientology was sac religious .
I had a woman completely regress me and I felt her moving....oh yes. We musicians know what the rest of the world doesn't.
Gino, if any of this has changed, you owe it to Christ to correct the record, if you have the guts.
God wasn't manufactured by man, religion was. God IS the supreme being and if you do surrender everything to him you WILL find peace...unlike Gino who still seems very unsure of everything.
Being at peace w/yourself is fine,but religion & God are higher than us all whether we like it or not.Gino's story begins & ends in confusion.There is an answer.Seek & you shall find.He didn't dig deep enough unless he's lying about it.I had 3 experiences that were mind blowing & I know I'm more aware b/c of them today.Spiritual growth is what we have.It's not something that just "Goes away".I wasn't confused at all about w/I saw.My spiritual/supernatural experiences were real & very,very cool.
