Geno Washington - American soul singer who was obviously better regarded in the UK than his own country. Originally Posted by Nightblade

I never heard of Geno. He must have had a very limited exposure in the US.
If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

Being a Soul fan Rob I actually saw Geno Washington playing at the Stow club in Newport in the late1970s, he was part of the Northern soul scene in the UK. Originally Posted by UKRob

I saw him in about 1965 at a club in Birmingham called Midnight City - it was a brave attempt to sell clothes as well as listen to popular groups. It was an old warehouse in the market area owned by a man named Bob Pryce - the banana king of Birmingham. Originally Posted by celticcrusader
