Back To 1980Choose A Different YearNext Year
"Geno" was released as a single from Dexys Midnight Runners debut album "Searching For The Young Soul Rebels"
The single hit the top spot on the UK Singles Chart in May 1980, becoming the band's first No.1 single.
The song was written by Al Archer & Kevin Rowland, as a tribute to soul singer Geno Washington, and it would become the first of two UK No.1 hit singles for the band. No prizes for guessing what The Other One was.
