Thank you for doing this suggestion, it's always really appreciated. A great track from an equally great artist. I'm so glad that you liked it.

[@hanierfamily]

It was so great!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

​@@hanierfamilyI suggest that you react to, "Time" by him next.

[@monaromark1021]

Yes, love old stuff like this. Bring it on!

[@monaromark1021]

1969, the year my Monaro was made. It's nice to Cruze along listening to music from this period.

IM MY TOP BRACKET OF MOTOWN SONGS, SAW HIM IN 1970 AT VATS WHISKERS NIGHT CLUB,BRILLIANT LIVE, CHEERS FIR THAT 😊

This used to be played to death on BBC Radio 1.

[@davidellis5141]

This is top shelf R&B ! Smooth Groove 😎

Hello, C & C: This one and War are the only two I know by Edwin. I think this was just before War and they are both good songs IMO. Thank you for doing this one.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Chris, there's been a few artists who have sampled this: "The Cookie Crew - Got to Keep On" 1989, "Max Graef - Pink Panther" 2013, "Public Enemy - Revolutionary Generation" 1990, "Traxman - You're Just Movin" 2014, "Aden - Say and Do" 2014. These are the ones that I know about, but there's probably many more.

[@hanierfamily]

We're thinking it may have been Cookie Crew. The others seem to use only mere seconds of a sample, where you immediately recognise the song in the Cookie Crew track. Maybe we'll react to it some time to get a better taste.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

​@@hanierfamily A good idea, The Cookie Crew were a good group.

[@rogerbillings5081]

H.A.P.P.Y Radio and Contact are his classic tunes from the disco era!

[@davidellis5141]

Good fun to compare his War to the Frankie Goes To Hollywood version. Both are epic 👍

[@hanierfamily]

The DOA version was interesting.

[@davidellis5141]

Punk rock version ! FGTH is very 80's & has spoken word part that sounds like Reagan. Produced by Trevor Horn.

[@soulgalorememories9921]

Classic Motown/Northern Soul - you cannot go wrong with anything from Edwin Starr - unless you hate any kind of Soul music 😅. You might like a more funky Edwin Starr and my suggestion would be “Big Papa”……I still play this track…mostly on my outside speakers - just to annoy the neighbours…just kidding.
