KING of the swingers Geno Washington is still going strong and spreading his musical talent on his current tour, Just Geno.

The American-born soul singer had two of the biggest-selling UK albums of the 60s alongside his collaborators, The Ram Jam Band.

He could count Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd among his many fans at the pinnacle of his career. After taking a break in the 80s, he returned in the new millennium with the desire to record once again. What ensued was a set of collaborations with the likes of Adamski, Gabrielle and Kermit of Black Grape fame.
