Nostalgic evening :D
This tune have so much emotion and go in it..I just love it. This is 1969,
in 1984 Frankie Goes To Hollywood did it on a album called Welcome To The Pleasuredome. But it eint that energic like Edwin´s version.
Edwin did 10 albums and he died 2003. The biggest hit of his career, which cemented his reputation, was the Vietnam War protest song "War" (1970). Starr's intense vocals transformed a Temptations album track into a #1 chart success, which spent three weeks in the top position on the US Billboard charts, an anthem for the antiwar movement and a cultural milestone that continues to resound in movie soundtracks and hip hop music samples.
It sold over three million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. "War" appeared on both Starr's War and Peace album and its follow-up, Involved. Involved also featured another song of similar construction titled "Stop the War Now", which was a minor hit in its own right.
