(Vocals, 1942–2003)
Starr’s early singing career was interrupted when he was drafted in 1960. He finally broke with 1965 Bond novelty ‘Agent Double-O Soul’ and its follow-up ‘Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.)’. He had a powerful, rough voice that will be remembered for the 1970 anti-Vietnam hit ‘War’, originally a Norman Whitfield song for The Temptations. Starr enjoyed a disco comeback in 1979 with two UK Top 10 entries, ‘Contact’ and ‘H.A.P.P.Y. Radio’. He made high-profile guest recordings with Utah Saints (2000) and Jools Holland (2002).
