In 2003 we lost one of the most underated Motown artists.
Edwin settled in the UK many years ago, and died at his home in Nottingham in 2003.

Since his death I have searched for his location of burial without success. Then I
found that his grave was at Wilford Hill. Our member 'BiP' found the exact location :D and on Saturday I was able to get a number of images of his grave and surrounding area with my digital camera.

If you wish to visit him, Edwin's grave is located plot No H19-91 in the traditional area at Wilford Hill [southern] cemetery, Nottingham. Climb the path up the hill to the main building. The grave is located to the right hand side of the building about 100 yards away from the building.

Edwin is one of the great soul singers of all time. I first saw him in about 1970
at a Small vilage hall type of club which I can't remember north of Nuthall?
Anyone any ideas.

The next time I saw him I think was 'Intercon', the night club that used to be below the Clocktower entrance to the Victoria Centre.

The final time I saw him was in Issabella's Night Club about 1978. At this time he was carrying a lot of weight. I remember him wearing a Kaftan type outfit.

Did anyone else see Edwin live anywhere?

I did upload the picture to WWW.FINDAGRAVE.COM as they did not yet have an image of the grave.

Just listened to the Edwin Starr interviews Mick, really enjoyed them & listening to the music, how come he left USA & went to live in Nottingham, was it because of the Hierarchy in the music industry in America??

I know its a bit late to respond to this (or if any one will even read it) but the late great Edwin Starr was living in Polesworth on the Leicestershire /Staffordshire border the last I heard.I actually signed him up for the RAC when I was working in the coop at Tamworth.Very nice man to talk to much missed .

I have 3 differring opinions, my former taxi driver used to point out a place on Derby rd Bramcote/Wollaton, i dont know why, but i thought Toton, but Kev Roberts, who ought to know (even if he doesnt!) says it was Chilwell.

Edwin Starr died of a heart attack at the age of 61 in his home in Beeston near Nottingham.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind but be careful that's not always the case.

BIP, thats a quote from Wikipedia if im not mistaken, the same site that said Dale Winton was born in Nottingham..................................????????? (he wasnt of course) you shouldnt take wiki facts as being accurate.

That is correct Stan it is a wikipedia quote.....

so then i take it that he didn't die of an heart attack, he never lived for a time in Beeston and his grave isn't at the Wilford Hill cemetery?

Stan...whos Stan?.........no, the other bits are accurate, in fact, im not even saying the Beeston bit isnt accurate, what im pointing out is that you cannot take Wikipedia as being totally accurate, (hence me metioning Dales birthplace) as it can be edited and have input inserted by anyone.

He lived a long while in Polesworth I signed him up to the RAC in 1990 and he was still there in 2001 when I dropped into the coop in Tamworth and mentioned it to the RAC man on duty (he said he still saw him occassionaly doing his shopping) I know it don't mean he was still living there but it's a bit too much of a coincidence

Just spoken to Steve, who , along side Edwins widow Jean, and former manager/agent Lilian, make up the 3 soul agents company, and he confirmed that Chilwell was Edwins last place of residence in Nottingham, (so Kev was right), however, the house on Derby rd that my taxi driver metioned, was also correct, as Edwin resided there before moving to Calvert Close in Chiwell.
