To prove to his high school girl friend that he could write a hit song overnight, Gino Vannelli came up with People Gotta Move. He remembers, playing his Aria nylon string guitar, screaming out to her “Can’t you just hear the brass?!” when he got to the first chorus. But the girl, alas, only could manage to produce a minimal smile. However, a few years later, Herb Alpert from A&M Records believed in its hit potential and signed Gino. Don Cornelius invited Gino to perform People Gotta Move on national tv show Soul Train and Stevie Wonder choose him as the opening act for his American tour. This mini documentary is a production of Dutch national television company NTR for the highly rewarded Top 2000 a Go Go tv show.
