Mod-A-Day: Edwin Starr

Edwin Starr was an American soul singer most famous for his version of "War" which hit #1. Getting his start in doo-wop groups Starr scored his first hit just after being picked up by Motown in 1968 with what I think was by far his best song, "25 Miles." It went on to be a top-ten hit in 1969, and is one of the best, most dancable, soul songs ever produced.
