Number 170: Gino Vannelli - Black Cars

Gino Vannelli was big in Canada in the late 70s. A maven of the disco scene, he scored an impressive list of hits both in his native country and south of the border in the USA with "People Gotta Move", "I Just Wanna Stop", and "Living Inside Myself". But like Donna Summer, by the early 80s Gino recognized which way the winds of change were blowing. Re-inventing himself in 1984 as a New Waver for his ninth studio album Black Cars, "The Italian Stallion" scored the biggest hit of his career with the title track. It makes #170 on my Top 200.
