What is it good for?...

Here's Edwin Starr (born Charles Hatcher) and the Funk Brothers with this Billboard Hot 100 #1 from August 29 to September 12, 1970, Gordy 7101, "War".




Compare this to the current #1 single, Kiss Kiss, from the talentless hack Chris Brown and featuring the astonishingly pathetic production and icy, soulless, auto-tuned vocals of Mr. T-Pain.

Week by week we continue to see the proof of the devolution of our popular arts... the difference in the two of these songs in musicality, performance and sheer talent on record is nothing short of staggering.
