    I saw Edwin Starr perform many times from the 70's in the UK until he sadly passed away in 2003. What a great voice!

    One of the highlights of my career and life was to dance with Edwin Starr backstage at one of his gigs. He had myself and a few other crew doing the Temptation shuffle, watch the Temptations to see the moves. He invited me on stage to photograph the crowd while he encouraged them to wave for my camera. I stayed on stage taking his photos and afterwards we talked, laughed and shared some amazing stories, what a legend he was. Not just a humble true gent but a legendary performer.

    There were no filters. We didn't even have reverb in 68. He probably recorded it in Phil Spector's studio, he had a concrete wall in his studio, it. Was called "the wall of sound". Singers would crank up their vocals and sing to that wall. The sound bounced off that wall and was recorded on the vocal track. Everything was analog back then, we had EQ to play around with, but that was pretty much it. Guitar players got wa wa petals, (the beginning of the effect petals boxes of today). Us sound people were lagging behind a bit back then, so when you hear great vocals from the 50's through to the 70's, those people had talent, and sang true, no filters. When they toured their fans expected the sound they heard on the radio, and those bands and singers delivered the whole package.

    Brought back memories of seeing Edwin Starr do a 12 song set at a nightclub here in Halifax, England.
    Was around the time Frankie goes to Hollywood released Pleasure Dome which had a cover of his track War.
    12 song set which started with War, finished with War and featured War in the middle lol

    It was soo a sign of its time because so many groups were marching for their rights Woman, Blacks, Gays... to break it down to a simple a marathon to get to the one you love was genius to get acceptance for what really mattered, because everyone could identify with what you do for love. The rest of those agendas were put into perspective because they were human individual rights just like love.

    BJ, if you really like the sound of the musicians backing up Edwin Starr, you need to find a documentary about "The Wrecking Crew." You both will not only love it, you will get a great education in early rock & roll. There is another one that will blow your mind, "The History Of The Eagles." It too will give you the experience of what it was like back in the late 60's, early 70's. I highly recommend both. Y'all are so appreciative when you listen to, well, my musical history, and the foundation of that history. It warms my heart and makes me wish I could sit down and tell ya'll about how life was in the 60's and 70's, and how crazy it was hanging out on the Sunset strip. Keep up the good work, ya'll make me very happy ❤❤❤
