I was once walking in Beeston in Nottingham and who should pass me by in the opposite direction but Edwin Starr,I couldn't believe it and told him that War was one of the greatest songs that there was,he was a really great guy and spent several minutes talking about music and seemed a really nice person
Edwin Starr's version of War was another example of me liking something that would normally be way outside of my comfort zone.
I was wondering why he would have been in Beeston, but a Google search tells me:-
"He moved to England in 1983. He based himself in the Midlands, living for many years at Pooley Hall at Polesworth, Warwickshire, before moving to Bramcote in Nottinghamshire. Starr died on April 2, 2003, from a heart attack at his Nottinghamshire home. He was 61. He is buried at Wilford Hill Cemetery in Nottingham. He was survived by his long term partner Jean, and by his son and daughter from earlier relationships."
He lived a stones throw away from my cousin in Polesworth nr TamworthQuote:
