Great track razelma, it's strange jut before I came across your video, I have this on vinyl on the Ric-Tic label and had just played it few minutes earlier. Edwin Starr was a true Soul man! makes you sad when you hear some of today's offerings of so called "music" will we ever get any new artists that can get back to this great genre again? oh dear now I am sounding old (-:

this is a great video raz thanks for posting it,saying that it leaves feeling a bit empty,it great to see but it hurts at the same time, thank you my soul brother
Truly a great star. We met him in a night club in Rinteln, Germany where he was appearing on a sunday night when he was just coming off the back of a Blackpool appearance the previous night.We spent the whole evening with him...a fantastic guy..wonderful person
I agree with retrodude01 the original is much better , Edwin had the perfect voice for Northern soul music he did so many Northern tracks some of my faves are .. Way over there . My weakness is you .. Time...Stop her on sight.. Headline news ... great artiste.
Yes, we all miss him terribly. He never lost an ounce of Soul in all those many years of performing - or indeed his dazzling smile. It's good to know that his voice will live on forever through the miracle of recorded sound.
I've got the original version of this track on a 45" pressing, with Agent Double O Soul on the flip, both wicked tracks. But the original Backstreet is loads better than this version... Edwin Starr, Keepin The Faith!
Excellent! Edwin Starr has always been one of my favourite NS artist. I cant really explain why, there was just something about him. I take it that this is an out-take from 'The Strange World of Northen Soul' video compilation. Have you got any more to share with us
Great vid. An amazing voice he has and brilliant track
