Northern Soul Classics - Back Streets - Edwin Starr

I met Edwin Starr in 1971, when I was working at The Torch. By that time he had been a big star for nearly a decade, but I was surprised at his complete lack of any edge. Before the club opened, and having got all thee bands gear set up on stage, we sat in Chris Burton's office talking to him as though he was just one of us. That is also the message of Back Streets, which was one of my favourite records to dance to at the time.
