'War' Singer Edwin Starr Dies at 61


Nashville-born soul singer Edwin Starr, whose 1970 hit "War" denounced conflict as good for "absolutely nothing," has died aged 61 from a heart attack at his home in central England, his manager said on Thursday.

"Edwin passed away at his Nottingham home on Wednesday afternoon following a heart attack," manager Lilian Kyle told Reuters by telephone.
