Powerful People/Storm at Sunup in Bloomington, MN

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
Hot 100. Those who pick up a well-chosen
compilation can get the essential songs, but soft rock diehards can obtain a fair amount of
's choice album-bound material right here. ~ Andy Kellman
