Edwin Starr was at the height of his creative powers in the 1960s and early to
mid-1970s, when he did much of his best work for Motown. Released in late 1998,
this CD spans 1965-1974 and boasts many of his essential Motown hits. Starr was
very much a product of Northern soul, and yet, he sometimes showed an awareness
of the sweaty, rough-and-tumble soul that Stax Records was recording down in
Memphis. If My Heart Could Tell the Story, Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.), and Im
Still a Struggling Man are pure Detroit; the sweetness and honey-coated
harmonies that defined a lot of Motor City and Northern R&B are very much a part
of these classics. But Starrs tougher side asserts itself on 25 Miles and the
angry protest song War, both of which demonstrate that when he wanted, Starr
could be every bit as gritty as Memphis shouters like Otis Redding and Sam
Moore. If youre seeking an introduction to Starrs talents, this disc would be
the best choice by far.~ Alex Henderson
