In 1964 he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in Japan and South Vietnam; upon return his music career stalled. He hosted his own variety television show in Detroit during the 1970s.

The pride of Detroit Pershing High School. This is a great record from 1964. He was drafted later that year and never had anymore hits. He was a year ahead of me in school, I went to Cooley but everybody knew who Gino was.

Talking about coming late to the party. I was introduced in name only to this record by renowned Rock music critic (and Michigan native) Dave Marsh in his 1999 treatise, "The Heart of Rock and Soul: The 1001 Greatest Rock Singles Ever Made" (ranked at #938). Coming from two states east in Upstate New York, I read this and paid it no never mind until I moved to Toledo, OH (a little bit closer) and ran across another of his primal screams, "Out of This World." Both records prove he is a genius on par with, say, Gary US Bonds. I heard that on Detroit radio he even gave The Beatles a run for their sixpence! Glad to finally meet you, Mr. G!
