The latest composition from prolific
songwriter Jimi Bertucci has me singing and humming along. Can
you spell “hit” song. It’s no secret that this
successful artist has been blessed with the rare knack of writing
hooky tunes. When You Want Me Too is another in a long list of
memorable songs with universal appeal. I mean, who can’t
relate to the heart-wrenching ups and downs of love relationships?
And nobody writes about them better than Jimi B. The rawness
of this recording is what draws me closer to the emotional message
of conflicting wants and needs. The term songwriter somehow doesn’t
quite do him justice, wordsmith might describe him better. In
actuality, Jimi’s tunes are poetry in motion.
Rumour has it that, in addition
to churning out new lyrics and melodies, Jimi and his band have
been spending some serious time in the studio lately working
on a new CD |
 Jimi you really rocked the house in Yucaipa
last night, awesome job my man. I got some great photos...cheers

cover shot is so nostalgic to me and so is the shot of the boys

 "No
one could stand on stage with us because Jimi was the most charismatic
frontman I've ever seen in Canada. He was like Elvis. Women fainted
when he walked in the room. (read

 hmmmm.....I'd say, Jimi's poetry reflects a certain
vulnerability, depth, and soul most men do not display, let alone
possess. Lisa - California |

Toronto Sun - Recently, while lined up at The Sun cafeteria,
I found myself next to Shawn O'Shea of our business office --
the best-preserved grandfather you'll ever meet and a bit of
an old hipster. I admitted to him that in a sentimental moment,
I'd downloaded the '70s radio hit Gypsy from his old band Abraham's
Children, and offered to buy him a coffee in lieu of royalties.He
demurred, good-naturedly, offering the opinion that the song's
been out of print for a long time and it should pretty much be
public domain at this point. I got the feeling he felt it was
just nice to be remembered. |

"Winning Side"--a
WINNER! Great tune! Love the Stones-influenced instrumental opening--insightful
lyrics--powerFULL vocals up front are a nice change from so much
of the rhythm driven stuff out there now. I gotta move to Canada!

 As the
Story Goes
It was around 1978 and I was
working the door at the Piccadilly Tube while going to O.C.A.
(Could you ask for a better life, art school by day, rock 'n
roll by night). Saturday night and the joint was hoppin', when
I glanced up to see this very good looking young man with long
dark hair grinning down at me. Instead of taking a seat he proceeded
to saunter to the cigarette machine, directly in my line of vision,
and casually leaned there to watch the band, occasionally flashing
this infectious smile in my direction.That night, as it often
happened, a fight broke out. However this one quickly got out
of control and I became really nervous. Grabbing my cash drawer
(I always have been extremely conscientious) I quickly retreated
to the cloakroom. Which was a very good idea since the place
where I was sitting was soon piled high with bodies (a kickin'
and a gougin' in the mud, the blood and the beer). As the bouncers
were managing to throw the offending parties up the stairs and
into the street, who should appear in front of me but the young
man of 'the smile'. Like a knight in black denim he was making
sure I was all right. He told me his name was 'James' and he
was with 'The Police'. I was momentarily confused, shouldn't
he have done something about the fight?
Later I found out he was
also known as 'Jimi Bertucci'! Max Miller

 Great
job Jimi! I've been listening to it over and over again and it
is definitely a catchy theme. I really like the build up from
the intro... very upbeat, clean and fresh... works well with
the whole concept of the event... I think the guitar riffs add
an Italian sound/touch which I really, really like... horns sound
great too.

just obtained the attached picture and it will be no doubt be

 Hi Guys
(AC) I know you won't remember, but I met you in Charlottetown,
PE in 1972. You played at the Confederation Centre. One of the
first radio interviews I did. I was 17 at the time . Alot older
now no wiser, still rocking & rollin on the radio. I'm having
a hard time finding the hits from the 1970's. I host the Saturday
Morning Retro Rewind on OCEAN100, live every weekend, featuring
the 70's at 7. I played all your hits when they were hits. If
its possible, I'm looking for a CD with all of the hits on it.
With your permission, I would like to add them to my 70's Canadian
gold rotation. Ron Gillespie Production Manager CHTN-Ocean100

Calabria Italy - If you
thought poetry was boring, think again! Moving, thought provoking,
sensually erotic, are all words I would use to describe this
newly released selection of writings by Jimi (aka Vincenzo) Bertucci.
Already renowned as a well-respected and gifted songwriter, Bertucci
is adding to his list of artistic writing credits by unveiling
another dimension to his many talents. To say that he dabbles
in poetry writing would be an understatement, instead he fearlessly
plunges head first into those deep and sometimes dark waters.
Be the first to read these delicious
poems by Vincenzo Bertucci. ML |
 This is good your band is the real deal keep it
going bigtime, release a new single to canadian radio sometime
- Jon Long Toronto Canada |
 The
multi-dimensional persona of you Mr. Bertucci is alluring, intreguing
and the best high I have experienced in some time. Your poetry
is >entrapping and frustrating as it immediately conjures
motion to want to >soothe your passionate yearning. One is
brought to a state of quandry and >hope......that you are
nurtured not tortured........... LOVE >RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xoxoxoxoPamela..........have
a good sleep Pamela Toronto, Canada |
 Hi Jimi.
Happy new year. Hope all is going well. John |

I've
been meaning to write in and tell you my story of Jimi. I first
met him in Detroit he was playing a concert. I won the tickets
from CKLW a radio station in Windsor, Ont. I was on cloud nine.
At the meet and greet he gave me a big kiss and had his picture
taken with me. I took it back and showed everyone at school,
they were so excited. I wish I knew where that photo is. Gail
H. - Detroit |
