youtu.be/01-2pNCZiNk War by Edwin Starr on Motown Records, and written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. I think his vocal on this song is one of the greatest in pop music history. The tambourine work is out-of-the-box brilliant. And I adore horn arrangements with the bari sax rhythmically offset. There are a few songs in my set that I do as a challenge to myself, because I cant imagine anyone other than the original artists doing justice to them (Edwin was NOT the first to record this, but he certainly had the biggest success), and I like to push my singing. I dont use two of my favourite elements in the song (tambourine & horns), and I cant sing the raspy falsetto that I love from Edwin, Prince & Daryl Hall, so I have to find other ways to put the song across. Its been a challenge worth taking.
