Looks into today's newspaper:
Edwin Starr (born Charles Edwin Hatcher) was an American singer and songwriter. Starr was famous for his Norman Whitfield-produced Motown singles of the 1970s, most notably the number-one hit "War".
Starr was born in Nashville and raised in Ohio, and later lived in Detroit while singing for Ric-Tic and Motown Records. He was backed by the band that would become known as "Black Merda". Hawkins and Veasey of the group played on most of his early hits on the Ric Tic Label. Starr's songs "Twenty-Five Miles"
and "Stop the War Now" were also major successes, in 1969 and 1971
respectively. In the 1970s Starr's base shifted to the United Kingdom,
where he continued to produce music, and resided until his death.
He died on this day in 2003 aged 61.
