I have been meaning to dedicate a song outright to Tricia for so long, and finally that song has come along. Here it is my friends, Evermore—for Tricia—and for you to eavesdrop on.
Love to all

Evermore is breathtaking! It’s beautiful like your Tricia. May the Lord give you strength and guide you. Looking forward to seeing you in one of your fabulous concert !

Beautiful song! Love it!
I was 15 years old (1976), and in Mexico City at the time, when I first heard your music. I was at a club or disco, when suddenly, “Lady” came on. I immediately fell in love with the song, and hoped that the DJ would say the name of the song and artist. I waited and finally heard, “Lady, del Maestro Gino Vannelli.” Upon my return to California, I went to the local record store and bought Powerful People and Storm At Sunup. A few months later, Gist of the Gemini. I was hooked, couldn’t get enough of your music. I especially loved the jazz fusion and slow ballads the most. I also must admit, I had a huge crush on you and thought you were the most gorgeous man in the world. I saw you twice in concert in the late 70’s. Time went by, life and shit happened, and I started listening to other types of music. Several months ago, I reconnected with your music, and I listen to it almost daily. It transports me to another place and time, and brings so much joy to me. So here I am, after 30+ years, listening and rediscovering the “Maestro Gino Vannelli.” You are a master indeed, and I thank you with all my heart for the music you’ve created. There is no other Gino Vannelli, and never will be.

P.S.: Would be great if you could do concert(s) at Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa. It is a wonderful venue. Just sayin……
Simply. Divine! Thanks
Simply & Divine! Thanks
Gino. I am so pleased you have done this wonderful video and dedicated it to Tricia. The first time I heard it when I played A Good Thing Album after your concert in Edmonton, it became one of my favorites on this album. It was obvious that you had written it for Tricia. My favorite song on this album is Gypsy Days, but Evermore touches my heart because of the love you express for Tricia. Any wife would love to have their husband express this level of love. Much love to you and Ross and the beautiful Tricia who has been through so much this past year. Hollis Ehman.
My fiancé and I love this song. It will be our wedding dance song! We have tickets to Clearwater but see it was cancelled.
Will u b rescheduling soon?
Aaaah Gino,
God has left His lingering kiss upon you
in the many gifts that flow from within you
so awesome on so many levels
truly leaving such exquisite colors of emotions in
many hearts, and expressions across many faces
I often allow myself to be swallowed up and carried away
into the paradise of your fabulous voice… your songs
your thoughts, your words, even the endless depth of your soul
with which you caress the whole world.
You…Gino, are a wonderful treasure…like being cuddled up in many luxurious sunsets
I have been loving you and your music for many moons now
Your signature style…like your fingerprints…one of a kind.
You are so beautiful inside and out. Stay true to yourself. Keep Doing You!
Another Great song and body of work…so lovely and beautiful
as is your “Tricia”…she is your lovely garden of Eden.
Take wonderful care of yourself
in the Gracious Love of God The Father and The Lord Jesus Christ.
His Peace be yours and your beautiful family and friends.
We(you,Joe,etc) have been together several times and it was always amazing.We met in Louisville,Ky with my girlfriend Kelly at the airport Ramada Inn when the equipment was late for a college show around 1876.We talked a long while in the lobby about recording,as I sold studio gear and designed systems.Thanks for having us as guests at that show.Sox years later,Brice Bell from Everything Audio took me and two friends to Joes house where you had the Amel Angela and Otari machines in one room and your cables through the wall to instruments in the other.You asked me to comp 3 vocal tracks into one,which I did on the Song “It’s Over”on “Black Cars”in December of 1083.In 1990,Marina and I visited you and Joe at Blue Mopn in Agoura.I hope you both are doing very well and keep up your work filled with inspiration and hope in these trying times.Your friend,Jeff DeVillez
Hi Gino I first heard you in 1974 Spring KNX FM Los Angeles 11miles from Hollywood.You were a godsend to the music world thank the Muses and Angels .and A&M records .your Voice is still a gift from god. its been 10 years since I’ve listen to you. this song is pretty .However the structure is weak for Top 40 airtime .I will rewrite it for you then send to you .You are still the great musical artist as before .I will enlighten your mind and spirit and you will create with more energy and love thats still inside you for the music lovers in your life.You are ready to enter a new avenue to the out flow of the universal Gino Vanelli. on this song your piano writing was hard and harsh contrary to melody and message of love. guitar lines the same.sounded to commercial and dry.There are more melodies more words more instruments more arrangements styles and forms to express your love find them.
Who in this incredibly large world do you think you are ? How embarrassing for you……as if (ha! ha!). When times that I feel like I’ve seen it all, people like you just seem to pop up from under a rock. Oh, if only the greatest minds and most creative and artistic souls could be graced by “your” thoughts and “your” presence. Oh dear God……please make it so (lol). Final thought……actually, no forget it……I don’t want to waste anymore thoughts on……what’s your name again ? Mike….Max ? I forget !
Wow. I’ve been saying that since 1976, when a keyboard player I roomed with on the road played me Gist of the Gemini.
What a gorgeous song, melody and lyric. I was an obsessed fan in the 70s, saw you perform in Milwaukee, owned every album (A&M), force fed you to friends, family, acquaintances and was completely obnoxious. I’m not a musician (dated many haha), sang some acapella in high school, but I think I’ve always had a good ear…and, to me, you were genius. The vocals (it amazes me that your falsetto is as crisp as it was then), the musicianship, the physicality…you were the whole package. Then, I think it was when you went to Arista, you kind of lost me. Still loved the old stuff but, frankly, was thinking you had sold out for the commercial side. No more edge. So I took my ear to other artists, other music, and my tastes expanded and were refined, and it was all good. Now, at 68, I have accumulated a catalogue of pleasure that encompasses almost every genre and music from all over the world. This is getting lengthy, so I’ll get to the point. I was so thoroughly delighted to find that you are still creating, and refining with new arrangements, new styles, yet the voice remains unmistakably yours. Oh my heart. It’s like reconnecting with an old friend. I’m anxious to order Canto and experience that side of you. Lastly, I was floored to learn that you’ve been married to the same beautiful woman all these years. That says so much about your character. Much respect and happy to know you have had an enduring love. My friends call me CC.
The Grace of God Almighty be upon you, Gino and your beautiful wife Tricia. God Bless your entire family, including the furry ones. I really appreciate your gifts and talents. The deep, beautiful soul of your music has truly moved a great deal of the world. Your voice is still, so simply wonderful, so filled with heart and passion. You are better than ever. Thank you so much, Gino. Thank you Tricia, for sharing some of him with the world. I know it can’t be easy. She is clearly an amazingly strong, fair lady! It’s wonderful to see the love you have for each other. Cherish each other always, as you do!
I know that you are also a very deeply spiritual person…I believe what the Holy Bible says about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And JESUS says about HIMSELF “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE, No one comes to the FATHER except through ME”. John 14:6 I believe HIM. I know there are a lot of crazy so-called religious stuff out there, twisted televangelists, fake preachers out there for money, but I really love Fred Tarsitano on Youtube Biblical study lessons. He is a for real, lovely Italian brother who really tells it straight. No shenanigans with him. He’s great at explaining the Bible…WORD OF GOD to everyday folks, with love, with humor, with wisdom and with truth. Hope you check him out. See what you think! Can’t hurt!
Example: Check out part 9 on How to avoid Hell…I know it sounds scary but, I think it will make sense to you and everyone really seeking TRUTH. It’s worth checking it out.
Anyway, I love you and everyone. God’s Peace Always. Happiest Birthday to you on the 16th.
What a very beautiful tribute song, wow, amazing, incredible the love, almost speechless after hearing this. My kind of song and it seems like us Geminis totally love this type of melody. Always liked your songs, they speak to your very soul, thank you for sharing your musical gift. So refreshing to feel the love of two people who have been blessed to be together and are so very happy and grateful at the same time! Best wishes always to you and Tricia. Thanks for the music💕🙏
loved your albums from the seventies. will you ever record music like that today and is there a 45 rpm of the songfly into this night. thank you
Hermosa cancion Gino y mas hermoso aun el amor que sientes por ella.
Looking forward to seeing you in concert Wednesday March 1!
Like Citalia Garcia above, I had a huge crush on you in 1974 when I first heard “People Gotta Move” on the radio. Also was fortunate enough to catch you live twice while you were touring to support “Brother to Brother”. Been a fan for nearly 50 years (!!)
This song means so much to me, because I was playing it around the time my mother died in 2010. I’ll love her for evermore too. And it so happened that The Great Divide did the same thing for me when my father passed four years earlier, even though I know that song was written for a completely different reason.
None of this was planned. I loved both songs anyway; it just so happened that they really clicked when I needed them. Now I play them on special anniversaries to bring me closer to mum and dad. All this may sound sad, but actually I’m so happy your music has given me these feelings.
