The singer known best for his anti-war single (and quite arguably the
most well-known anti-war hit song) "War," died on Thursday, April 3rd
from a heart attack. Starr, 61, was born in Nashville, Tenn. as Charles
Hatcher and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. While "War" was originally a
Temptations song, it was considered too controversial for the group and
was released as a single for Edwin K. Starr in 1970. He passed away in
his home outside of Nottingham, England. For more information, see
