Geno Washington is still the ultimate 60s soul man, enjoying cult status in soul, blues and RnB scenes, mainly due to his unsurpassable reputation as a live performer .

A contemporary of Georgie Fame, The Small Faces and Jimi Hendrix (all of whom were his support acts back in the day), Geno is as electrifying today as ever, a force of nature and a genuine joy to behold .

In 1980 'Oh Geno!' was a massive UK Number 1 hit for Dexys Midnight Runners .

Vocalist Kevin Roland based the song on his memories of Geno's gigs, when clubland used to cho to the chants of Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno Washington & The Yo Yos features members of the super tight Ram Jam Band, playing a blistering set of pared down street soul, RnB and house rockin' blues .
