Previously on Daily 70s Ad: #100: Gino Vannelli ‘Powerful People’
“It’s a lonely afternoon…” (Gino Vannelli, ‘Powerful People,’ 1975)
This song goes hand-in-hand with today’s Daily 70s Ad, so I couldn’t resist. It’s Gino Vannelli performing “Powerful People” on Soul Train in 1975.
“Powerful People,’ from the L.P. of the same name, wasn’t a big hit, so you’re probably not familiar with it. I wasn’t. Nevertheless, the tune is a jazz-fusion-disco ballad…of sorts and (beyond big Vannelli fans) it’s a mostly-forgotten slice of 1970s musical history. The last minute of the video contains a brief interview. Watch in stunned awe?
