Brother to Brother (Gino Vannelli album)

Brother to Brother is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer Gino Vannelli. Despite its success—the biggest of Vannelli's career—it was also his last for A&M Records. The album was released in September 1978 and featured "I Just Wanna Stop", Vannelli's highest-charting single to date in both the US and Canada, where the single reached #4 and #1, respectively. Two other singles were released from the LP: "Wheels of Life" (U.S. #78, Canada #31[4]) and "The River Must Flow" (Canada #80[5]).
