"Time" by Edwin Starr

Edwin Starr declared war on the charts in the late 60s. His first appearance was in 1965 when "Agent Double-O-Soul" went to #21. His first of two Top 10 hits arrived in 1969 when "Twenty-Five Miles" reached #6. His second reached the top spot: the classic anthem, "War," spent three weeks at #1 in 1970, a song that is now a Grammy Hall of Famer and in the R&R Hall of Fame as well.

Despite becoming a superstar, Starr only had one more Top 40 hit with "Stop The War Now," which peaked at #26 in 1971. Throughout the rest of the 70s he maintained a presence on the lower half of the chart, and saw his final entry, "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio," top out at #79 in 1979.

"Time" is an underrated song from Starr that was released just prior to "War" in 1970, but inexplicably did not chart. Like many of Starr's songs, the thoughtful lyrics are timeless.

Starr passed away from a heart attack in 2003 at the age of 61.
