40 years ago, GV was still new in the Jewish Music business, but already singing and playing multiple instruments since childhood. With no outside financial or production help, his only choice was to produce and perform it all on his own, learning as he went along, using 2″ tape, just 16 tracks, no producers, arrangers, musicians or computers. Even the tape was bought “used” (see photo below).
“Man To Man” introduced the fusion of styles he grew up with, like The Beatles, James Taylor, The Eagles, Steely Dan and Dr. John. It was released on vinyl and cassette with very little promotion to a very resistant Jewish world, but recognized immediately by industry insiders, aspiring performers and open-minded fans. Skipping the CD era, it became a collectors item on eBay. Today, that’s all changed.
