April 27, 2022 Records of the Day

Edwin Starr’s number one hit, “War (What is it good for? Absolutely Nothin’)” came in 1970. It was a protest song that is still popular today. Released on Gordy Records it is not a big collectible at no more than $10.00, but before “War” and other hits like “Double-O-Soul” and “Twenty-Five Miles,” Starr was a member of a group known as the Futuretones. Their single, “I Know,” on Tress Records from 1957 is worth up to $900.00 today.
