Vannelli, Gino - The Measure Of A Man Lyrics
No, you can't judge a man
By the color of his skin
You can't rate his cool
By the scruff on his chin
Don't know what makes him tick
But you can judge a man
By the woman he's with
By the woman he's with
That's why I say
You know the measure of a man
Just how tall he stands
By the woman he's with
Thing is, she had too much Tanqueray
Though my eyes went bug
My heart could not agree
Next thing you know
Dude's comin' at me with a stick
Oh, you can judge a man
By the woman he's with
I'll say it again
By the woman he's with
You know the measure of a man
Just how tall he stands
You know the size of his stones
Just what kind of backbone
By the woman he's with
By the woman he's with
Her eyes are the window to his soul
And by the looks of it she's swallowed him whole
The mere thought of her makes his knees weak
When he opens his mouth it is her I hear speak
Even now I hear her speak
No, I really don't get
This cold war that I am in
There's a knife in my back
Where my good friend has been
She's the moon, he's the sun
And I am under an eclipse
Yeah, you can judge a man
You know the measure of a man
By the woman he's with
Say it again
By the woman he's with
You know the measure of a man
Just how tall he stands
You know the size of his stones
Just what kind of backbone
By the woman he's with
By the woman he's with
By the woman he's with
You know the measure of a man
You know the size of his stones
By the woman he's with
By the woman he's with
You know the measure of a man
By the woman he's with

Vannelli, Gino The Measure Of A Man Comments
Love him so much...but. As a face illustrator, gotta say, common Gino, can you not see how uneven the eyebrows you are, which you became known for and are still loved by many females, for the thick masculine brows?
One cool song by the incredible Gino vanneli. It rocks big time!!!!!
A fun video.
Easily the best male voice over the last 45 years. Meaning he sounds exactly the same from 1974-2019!
Mr.Gino is a VERY clever lyricist..cant help wondering if there is a "double meaning" to the lyric..it MAY not refer entirely to the "positive influence " of an "ideal woman".. but possibly ALSO to the "negative impact" of the "other kinds of women"..i mean,IF one observed a genuine "harpy" self absorbed nagging contentious aggravating controlling demanding type of woman with a man,would NOT one be able to conclude that he was an extension of "the women he's with " as well ? and NOT in a flattering light,i might add?
i just looked up Mr.Vannellis net worth as being 3 Million..that is JUST wrong.. only 3 Mil??
man ,the man should be swimming in money for his contribution to music since 1975 .. his REAL value as the artist he's ALWAYS been is priceless and i'm sure in MANY other people's opinions as well !.. that is just WRONG as wrong can be.. you agree? i mean,that various "rap artists" and others with FAR less talent are worth MANY times more than this is just W R O N G!
man, what makes this song and video are the strong black ladies, love it! this is the bomb! but detest the fangs on one of the gals. What's that suppose to mean?
I really like the drummer's groove... Someone knows his name ?..
Love Gino!
Commercial...But what if your glycogen is gone along with your fat? I nearly died, was in ER, doctors said " if you are a diabetic or a senior, don't fast. That was through intermittent fasting. But the oncologist told my daughter to stay on the ketogenic diet for the rest of her life ...she is in remission from cancer...way to go!
Absolutely magnificent, beyond all belief. I sing this at the biatches out the car window full pelt around England (they never saw Gino coming over ere) Glad I found him way over due.
Me encantó este tema. Me gustaría interprete jazz latino. Se que habla español
How I love his voice....
Is it just me, but is a huge part of this song's appeal the two very powerful back up singing ladies? Looks like Gino appreciates them massively, too!
Totally!
one of my favorite songs on A Good Thing!
Gino - please come to Germany !!
Simply the best
This song is ADDICTIVE...MESMERIZING GINO! FOREVER AND EVER!
Been a Gino fan since 1974- my drummer saw him perform at San Diego State
The best!
you know what I love about this guy, It looks classy all the time, and his voice and delivery are always on the top of the scale. Rock on, Gino........
This man is still producing some of the sexiest sounds on the planet. Whew......

It's called "A Good Thing."
Gino always Gino 💜

Gino Vannelli, un grandissimo! La sua musica è una perfetta sintesi di energia e sensualità...."People gotta move", ve lo ricordate? Quanti pomeriggi seventhy in disco a ballare su quella song inimitabile ed esplosiva!! E' sempre fantastico risentire e vedere Gino con altre produzioni

I like-ALOT! Cha, cha cha...
@ginovannellifan Thanks, I loved it!
Listen to this song with your eyes closed, preferably before you've ever seen the video. And then think about "the measure of a man" judged by "the woman he's with". Without having previously seeing this video, what do you come up with? I'm sure you aren't going to visualize all these nubile little females flaunting themselves in your face. You may visualize more realistic images
I love Gino !! The greatest voice ever !!!
Another lovely song !!
What a sexist! Oh well, add another to the massive pile of cheesy love songs...
love love love love this!!
Does anybody know who are the backup singers in this video ?
[ Please don't tell they are the Waters sisters.. that would be too good to be true! ]
Thanks for the posting. Peace.

@asurrealenigma - thanks for your reply!! Speaking of an 'italian thing'--- Gino at the Vatican in 2000 is extremely moving to me-- karma unleashed!
SO good to hear a man speak highly of women, when so many degrade us. Wish I could thank him for this.
The return of GINO! What could be better? As GREAT as ever!
I think Michael Buble borrows alot from Gino Vanelli... the style of both these Italian Candian singers are similar.
needs more cowbell.....
Back to his old style ! Can't stop playin this in the car !
There's a 10 year old girl on youtube named Jackie Evancho who could have sung with Gino on his Canto album and matched him note for note, could be a potential female Gino someday if she can write music, she could do his entire catalogue now at ten years old;
Really great; we should all age so well. I am so pleased Gino is still making music. He is the ONLY reason I survived Disco with some musical integrity. Listened to Gino, Boz Scaggs, Billy Joel. WONDERFUL, and yes @ Singer of Life, funky! Love funky!

Fantastic composition and production. Gino is so original.

Mr.Gaer you did a great job with Gino in 1978
I think Gino should let the hair grow out again, giving us the big "lion's mane" like he wore in the 70's! S-E-X-Y!
I LOVE this Video & Song!
Man, this shit is SO funky!
I love the energy of his songs!
I love the energy of his songs!
Extraordinario! gracias, amigo...
Another fantastic song by Mr. Vannelli.
love love love it!!!!!
Oooooohhh I LIKE this Gino-song. You are the best
coooolllll !!!!
It`s realy pretty cool !
where I can get DVD from live concert ?
OMG! I have loved this man since I was a kid. His music and talent have always been just awesome. He hasn't lost a thing. Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. Just wish I could sing with him!
I agree with you guys - Gino has an amazing ability to sound fresh no matter where the music is released. I'd welcome this on the radio over any GAGA crap anyday! Nice ot hear something not manufactured or ridden with rap - and that does not sound like every other song out there!
El señor Vanelli hace que com compositor o como músico, uno quiera ser mejor y llegar a la madurez así, como él. ¡Gracias!
They list the ticket prices for this guy as $99 at his site and you know what? I would pay it! There's no way I would pass up the chance to see this legend. It makes me SO sad to see no good music comes around where I live.
First heard this on KJZZ (LA) one evening, fell in love with it.
The Master of the Music.
This is awesome!!!!
Good one ;)
Gino, Gino, Gino. You are the measure of a genius songwriter and the voice still rocks.
Gino, you're the man, now and always! Another masterpiece from my all-time favorite artist!!!!!
Great Gino!! Amzing song voice and sound!You are always the best voice in the world!Such a genius.
It's like People Gotta Move and Shame had a baby. :) That bridge is killer!
Gino, you da man.
"will I be strong or barely keep alive when I'm 35 ?".... I think the answer to that is obvious.
"WHERE AM I GOING",1975
What a great tune Gino !!! Great melody, lyrics, and hook...what else would we expect ? Classic Gino Vannell.
Thank you Gino !!!!
Matters girls are lookin gorgeous as usual!
they keep rockin my PartyPix

Jen Broomans Canadians aren't afraid to make soul music. Americans record labels have pushed that genre out of the mainstream music.
