Was: Rainbow - Matt Berry
Is: Plan B - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Because: According to Wikipedia Geno Washington worked with Berry on his first album, and has occasionally appeared on stage with him to sing the theme from Snuff Box. Dexy's sang a song about Mr Washington, but this is better, specifically the single version released in 1981 when they were in their short-lived boxer boot/sweatpant/tiny ponytail phase.
By my recollection this is the first Dexy's post in the albums/songs/chain series, although I could be wrong.
Anyway, this is ace, they were ace.
