   The song that you have posted is a great one! It is, however, GINO Washington, out of Detroit, not GENO Washington of Indiana who performed with the Ram Jam Band. The confusion may lie in the fact that the name is spelled “Geno” on the label, but it is indeed the Detroit-based Washington. ATAC was Gino’s own label.

   Thanks Brian. Don’t I feel foolish! I’ll try to find a Gino Washington cover and make this right!

   Geno vs. Gino, both soul singers born three years apart! You can’t make this stuff up, or this apparently…

   “Geno Washington is a member of the Guild of Hypnotists. He has also included hypnotism as part of his act. In the past his show has consisted of some demonstrations of hypnotism in the first half and some ‘Get down soul music’ in the second half.”

   “I loved Geno Washington’s set. It was much better than “Cats”. I’m going to see his show again and again.”
