Edwin Starr

along with Come See About Me.

And then one of my favorite groups from back then, Sly and the Family Stone with Dance to the Music, followed by Edwin Starr, 25 Miles, and then the Jackson 5, I Want You Back.

Am I the only one that ever sit all night long waiting for Sly to show up for a concert?

It happened to me too.

Don't you understand? I don't want all this just for myself I want it for you and nobody else Like I said, one thing I know, one thing I gotta say We're all going out the very same way Let's groove together yeah

that was jay and kathy's clowns from 1967. doing the best i can is the name of that track it was released on the s and k label before that the fantastic johnny c from 1970 i came across this track in toronto from my friend dane years ago came in on the kamasutra label and it's just a brilliant funky track let's do it together it's called I started everything off by flipping over Time by Edwin Starr, which I just recently found on the Canadian Pressing.

And again, last week I talked about this because I played Time last week.

This is the flip side, running back and forth.

What you want to make those eyes at me for? Just some great Trojan reggae in the early 70s to round things off.

But I do have a bit of a special ending song for us today.

It's a track by Edwin Starr.

Yes, I know I played Edwin Starr already on the show.

Leavin' on a Jet Plane, Peter, Paul, and Mary, 1967.

War by Edwin Starr, 1970.

Give Me Love, Peace on Earth, George Harrison, 1973.

Susan on the West Coast Waiting by Donovan, 1969.

And then some people responded by writing songs against the war.

Edwin Starr had a song entitled War.

What's it good for? Absolutely nothing was the lyric of that song.

Cat Stevens had a song called Peace Train.

That's Frank Wilson and the superb I'll Be Satisfied.

This one's Edwin Starr, My Weakness Is You.

You know you made my life a mess, but I must confess, I can't stop, can't stop loving you.

Oh, so you know you can always get through to me, no matter how much wrong you do to me.

it's vanishingly unlikely that Tommaso and Marco Michel married Diletta and Maria for any sentimental or emotional reason, or any attraction to anything other than their money and their family connections.

If Tina Turner was here asking, what's love got to do with it, the answer would be the same as if Edwin Starr or The Temptations were asking, war, what is it good for? In both cases, it's a resounding, absolutely nothing.

Emphasizing the business nature of the arrangement, the two Michiel brothers, Marco and Tommaso, and their new brides, Maria and Diletta, set up a single household.

Both men had their own political careers to pursue, which seemed to be going well, but for the time being, this was a single commercial company, and they might as well keep it all in the family.

What is it good for? See, that's the same thing I was thinking.

Edwin Starr, by the

way.

They're part of the food chain.
