For those of us in the States, Edwin Starr is probably known as “the guy who did ‘War.’” As this documentary shows, that’s only one tiny part of his career. This film is a great one. It really gives an in-depth view of the artist as a man and a musician through interview segments (many of which are with Starr himself), video clips and live footage. I’d recommend this to anyone who likes that one song, anyone who enjoys soul music and definitely Edwin Starr fans. It’s a classy production.
