Profile
Don't let the name fool you - although Gino's name and background are thoroughly Italian, he is a native born Canadian. As a behind the scenes musician and writer, he performed as Kebekelektrik, who scored with "Magic Fly" and "War Dance" in the mid 70s. Under his own name, he scored instant success with "Dancer" in 1979. "Try It Out" was a funkier effort in the early 80s.The best of Gino Soccio (1995) - Gino Soccio
