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]).
All tracks are written by Gino Vannelli, except where noted.
