Storm at Sunup is the third album by Italian-Canadian jazz-pop singer-songwriter, Gino Vannelli, and was produced by Vannelli and his brother Joe. Unlike his other albums, Storm at Sunup is a jazz fusion album with much less pop influence, though earlier hits such as "People Gotta Move" and "Powerful People" do show jazz influences. The album features contributions by Graham Lear, who would soon go on to be Santana's drummer.

The title track was chosen by famed choreographer Lionel Blair for use in a dance sequence that was part of a 1976 episode of the television series Space: 1999 titled "One Moment of Humanity". A pared-down, instrumental version of the song was specially recorded for the episode by series composer Derek Wadsworth.[3] Storm at Sunup and Love Me Now were covered by Buddy Rich on his album Speak No Evil.
