remembered best for 'War' obviously, anyone feel like recommending some of his other stuff?

that's sad. Starr's other great hits were "25 Miles," "Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.)" and "Agent Double-O Soul." r.i.p.

last thing i heard Edwin do was that Utah Saints track 'Funky Music' - he sounds really compressed on it

this is very sad news, coming at this time. He must have been really pissed off at this COCKFARMING WAR.

sad, although it'll be interesting that the one obvious tune for radio to play in memorial is the one tune they'd like to avoid; I wish Atlanta still had an oldies station to see how it'd play out.

His Moroder-sounding late-70s sounding disco hit "Contact" was actually kind of cool, particularly when compared to disco in general.
