I have a Gino Vanelli story for you. In the early 1980's I took a part time job as a fraud investigator, with Saks Fifth Avenue, ( my full time job was as a sergeant with the LAPD). As I was walking through the store I noticed a man with long hair, a large full length leather jacket, and a large man bag. He was looking at various merchandise throughout the store. But as it was in the middle of summer, the jacket stood out. Loss prevention was off that day so I maintained surveillance of him for over an hour. Now back in those days there was no camera surveillance, so I basically followed him around. About an hour into the surveillance, one of the sales associates walked up to me and said, " guess what, Gino Vanelli is in the store," and pointed to the leather jacket wearing individual. I instantly realized that the reason why he was looking around so much was that he was trying to avoid getting mobbed by fans. I shook my head, went back to my office and laughed out loud. The moral of the story is, not everyone that wears a leather jacket and looks around is a thief, some are just major artists trying to be normal.

The smooth-jazzy song was ahead of its time, lead-vocal was great, the background vocals too. How about that long outro, that’s something we don’t hear too often anymore in Pop music. When that great tenor sax solo played, her only comment was, “I am so relaxed!”

Gino Vanelli was big back during the late 1970's - early 1980's when soft rock was popular with the baby boomers going into adulthood (finally). My gosh, this song reminds me it was good to be a young man then. Great expectations, still plenty of room to dream. This was his big hit in the states ... but my all time favorite GV song was (and is) "Living Inside Myself." Another which is sort of modern jazz and has marvelous keyboard movements, is "Lady." Always made me fantasize about Sofia Coppola. In a nice romantic way, of course.
