"Just saw Gino perform most of these songs with a new, young, outstanding band. As Gino ages, he only becomes better........more subtle in his presentation and arrangements. His voice continues to be one of the very best in all of pop music. The band opened with a jazz version of Crazy Life and finished its final two (of three) encores with I Just Wanna Stop and Brother,Brother. Critics have long recognized the complexity of Gino's work, and now with this resurgence of Vannelli magic, its time for us to go back and appreciate the depth and beauty captured so well on this CD."
Musical genius for any millenium

"I, too, was introduced to Gino in mid-70s. His intricate jazz & pop combinations are what drew me to his music. I have followed his career for the last 20+ years and finally saw him in concert. His voice in '99 was as clear as in his earlier albums. If you want an artist who is always intriguing, try Gino. His artistry will amaze you."
Innovative, ahead of his time.

"I was introduced to Gino's music back in 75. I always thought he was a great songwriter as well as a singer. His greatest work would have to be "Crazy Life". After reviewing this on the internet, I'm going to pick up his greatest collection CD."
A starter if you don't know Gino, great to have if you do.

"This cd is a gem. It 's a quick way to have all those songs that you love so much on one cd so that you can play them when you want. Gino is a genius. There has been nobody like him - ever. I went to buy a stereo once and the salesman played a Gino album so I could hear what the stereo could do. I was impressed and I asked him why he chose that album. He said that Gino's albums were some of the best engineered albums ever made and that when he used them, people always bought the stereo. And the album! (I bought the stereo, too!) Start with this one and then buy all the rest of his albums. You won't regret it!"
Excelente!!!!!

"Música muy especial, cargada de sintetizadores. Vannelli posee una excelente voz no hay duda de ello."
