Regardless of your thoughts on Vietnam, the current war, or any conflict in between, this was and remains a darn good song by an incredible talented performer. A moment of silence, please.

Sad to know that the world has just a little less soul today than it did before.

I think it actually came from the live boxed set that he put out in... 1987 (?)
Man... Edwin Starr... heavy rhythm... heavy soul... heavy heart.
