A Pauper in Paradise is the fifth studio album by Italian-Canadian singer Gino Vannelli, released in 1977. It was notable for including contributions by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on the second side,[3] including a fifteen-minute title track symphony that took Gino five months to write,[4] and which led A&M to offer a warning to Gino to expand his appeal or face rapid declines in album sales that since Powerful People had been a steady 300,000 albums per release.[5]
^ abcdOn some issues of the album, the last four tracks were combined into a single track titled “A Pauper in Paradise (In Four Movements)”
