Name: Andy Location: Batley Submitted: October 18, 2022 16:10:15 Comments: I was lucky to see Edwin at Wigan Casino when he performed most of his set before being told that the sound was out on one side of the stage - not that we realised (he filled the stage and hall anyway). 'Let's do it again' was one of the most magical moments of any live act I've seen. Without a doubt, he was top man. > I am getting in touch in the hope that you can fill a gap in my memory. The first time I saw Edwin was at the variety club in Batley. I think it must have been 1970 or 1971. It would be much appreciated if you know the precise date, or have suggestions for when it was likely to have happened. Another great night. I noticed the Wheel boys at the front with one black leather glove punching the air but I had no idea what it was about.

Name: Nickster Location: London Submitted: November 17, 2017 12:14:42 Comments: As far as the the man's voice is concerned, he was the best of his generation and his genre. His range, power and notation are first class. Never got the worldwide credit he deserved. Never has a singer been so underrated. But we all knew better! R.I.P.

Name: Am Ere Location: Oslo Submitted: August 31, 2017 02:09:11 Comments: Grew up listening to that powerful soulful voice.Edwin,Dennis Edwards and Levi Stubbs were the epitomy of powerful soulfulness,just couldn't get enough of their moving,gritty soulful voices. Still miss Edwin. Hard to imagine he's gone.

Name: Richard Location: Wensleydale Submitted: August 20, 2017 17:27:12 Comments: I met the great man when he played the Flamingo Cleethorpes in the early 90s. No-one knew that it was the last night that the Flam was open. Edwin appeared on stage without his backing band and apologised to the audience. The Flamingo couldn't afford to pay fir hus band but rather than disappoint the fans he came on his own. After two songs with a backing track Edwin stopped the show, turned off his backing tape and told us all that we were his backing band. We all sang the songs with him. He was brilliant. I saw him as support for Jr Walker and Marvin Gaye and he beat them both into a cocked hat. Best live artist ever.

WIKI On line it says he moved to England in 1973, this doesn't make sense? Please clarify, We've never forgotten the performance, he had a back-up band from L.A.. His white Rolls or Bently (?) was parked out front with "Star 1" license plates. I was friends with the owners and had the best seat in the house and we danced all night. We also saw the last show that Ike & Tina Turner did in Vancouver at the "Cave" supper club.

Name: David Michael Hugaert Location: Honolulu, HI Submitted: December 22, 2012 04:49:12 Comments: Aloha, everyone: I've loved Edwin Starr's music as long as I can remember. Although "War" is his best known song, he's had other timeless records as well: "25 Miles" & "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio" are two others that come to mind. It's hard to believe it's been almost ten years since he's left us, but his music lives on forever. I see Edwin died in Nottingham, UK. I wonder what brought him to decide to live there? He picked a great place to live! Anyway, I'll always think of Edwin's soulful, powerful vocal delivery & those great hit singles! Another great artist gone too soon. R.I.P., Edwin. --D.M.H.

At the same time it’s a sad day but with the words to War shared on Edwin’s website, it’s important to remember 40 years ago today, War was #1 on Billboard. He was happy and proud. Since then it has been covered by many – but none so great as Edwin. A special person with a special perspective on the world, the people around him and where he fit in the universe.

Name: Graham Fox Location: Chester Submitted: March 31, 2012 20:19:42 Comments: Just relived a lot of Edwins songs as he was the featured artist on Dave Brown's Motown show on Smooth Radio. I was sure that Dave got it wrong about the date of Edwins passing, he said 1993? which was clearly 10 years out. As a 16 year old in 1970 Edwin had a massive influence on me and my music tastes, SOS stop her on sight got played countless times from the Motown Chartbusters Vol 3 album, but more than anything 25 Miles left a massive impression on me, especially after seeing him live in Chester in 1971, I was totally blown away by that show as it was only a small club 'Quaintways' and we were all stood on chairs in a semi circle quite close to the 'all on one level stage', fabulous night. More recently I have got back into scooters and soul and realise what a fantastic artist Edwin was, he did so much for soul fans and soul lovers in the UK as he spent most of his time over here. RIP Edwin you will always be missed and we will always keep the faith by playing and dancing to your wonderful songs.
