	Holier Than Thou Records - Geno Washington - The Return Of The G (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band had two of the biggest selling UK albums of the sixties.
		US soul acts rarely visited the UK and, having come over as a part of the USAir force and stayed, Geno was our soul man. His level of touring and the high energy of his gigs was, and still is (as immortalized by Dexy's Midnight Runners in the 80's hit Geno) the stuff of legends.
		Geno did do some recordings in the States in the seventies, some never released stuff with the Beach Boys for example, but he largely retreated from the world of show biz and studied hypnosis and meditation.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by soul and R&B singer Geno Washington called The Return Of The G
		Geno Washington is something of a legend, a sixties soul-to-R&B man who had several successes in that decade and ultimately got religion.
		The opener sets the tone and seemingly bridges the gap between Washington's sixties roots and the present, with an "In A Broken Dream" descending bassline, rap, and a rousing guitar chorus.
		Washington's vocal is at times reduced to rap and blues drawl (as on 'Blues Master') but, my God, it works.

	Peter S. Scholtes - Complicated Fun - Gino Washington vs. Geno Washington
		Yet Washington was the only non-Hitsville act featured on the touring Motown Revue, and he ended up opening for the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones in Detroit (though the singer was late enough to Stones gig that the headliners had to go on first, amid shouts for "Gino!").
		Geno with an "e" is the equally tough soul singer who had two hit LPs in the United Kingdom in the swinging '60s (both live albums) while fronting the Ram Jam Band.
		Washington is currently booked around the UK through the summer of 2005 to promote the album, which is available through his web site and the Voiceprint label.

	Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		An exciting live act who unfortunately could not duplicate their dynamism and immediacy on record and hence failed to make much impact on the charts.
		Washington was a US serviceman stationed in East Anglia, he became so well known as an impromptu performer in London's clubs that when Pete Gage needed a singer to front his new band in 1965 he asked Geno.
		So it was that on his release from the US Airforce, he became a professional singer.

		The Pleasance is easily the most convivial of Edinburgh Fringe venues, except on weekend evenings when It comes to resemble one of the jazzier circles of Dante's Hell.
		Pretending to be a Californian radio psychologist allows him both to work the audience and to insert scripted segments which are at times remarkably touching, showing that beneath the skin of the consummate stage bitch is an insecure creature of flesh and blood.
		Washington is more liberated on RandB numbers than when tackling straight blues standards, but anyone who can scream up a storm during "Gloria" is all right in my book.
