Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though the mighty Edwin Starr<\/strong> is best known to the general public for his Motown-era hits like \u2018War\u2019 and \u201925 Miles\u2019, the soulies will tell you that his greatest days were recording for the mighty Detroit soul powerhouse Ric-Tic between 1965 and 1967.<\/p>\n

Ric-Tic, run by Joanne Bratton<\/strong> and Ed Wingate,<\/strong> released some of the finest Motor City soul of the classic era, with sides by Starr, Gino Washington, JJ Barnes, Rose Batiste, the Fantastic Four, Al Kent<\/strong> and many more.<\/p>\n

Edwin Starr\u2019s Ric-Tic sides are consistently excellent, and \u2018Back Street\u2019 is one of the best of the lot.<\/p>\n

Written by Starr and LeBaron Taylor<\/strong> (both under other names) \u2018Back Street\u2019 is a fast moving number with a big following among the Northern Soul crowd.<\/p>\n

The arrangement, featuring drums, percussion, handclaps and a prominent rhythm piano is pushed along by horn stabs and female backing vocals.<\/p>\n

Starr\u2019s vocal is, of course, top notch. He was one of the finest male voices working in Detroit during the classic era.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also including the groovy instrumental take from the b-side, which has also been known to be spun for dancers of distinction.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the sounds, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
