Rebecca Allison Thursday April 3, 2003 The Guardian Soul legend Edwin Starr died yesterday at the age of 61, his manager, Lilian Kyle, confirmed. The US-born star - known for his enduring hits War and Contact - is thought to have died of a heart attack. Starr had lived for many years in the UK and died at his home near Nottingham. Leading tributes last night, 70s rock star Suzi Quatro, who has known Starr since she was a teenager in Detroit, said: "He was the best. There was nobody better on stage and he was the nicest man you could ever wish to meet. We had been very close friends for many years and I'm just stunned by the news." The singer, who was born Charles Hatcher in Nashville, Tennessee, formed his first group, The Future Tones, in 1957. His biggest success came with his outspoken single War, a US number one in 1970 and number three in the UK. Guardian Unlimited © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2003 Forwarded for your information.
