Edwin Starr, “Soul Singer”(Angel Air)- The vibrant Motown performer who is best remembered these days for the iconic anti-war anthem “War” didn’t enjoy too much in the way of commercial success after relocating to England in 1973 but his genuine passion for music-making remained undimmed until his untimely death from a heart attack in 2003. These hitherto unreleased on CD tracks represent Edwin’s entire output for Peter Stringfellow’s Hippodrome label during 1985 and 1986, including his distinctly disco orientated revamps of Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” and Wilson Pickett’s “Land of 1000 Dances.”
