Edwin is buried in Nottingham, where I live. I go every year to his grave to pay respect to the the legend.

I had a Platoon Sargent in the Marine Corps that would sing this at every mile marker during humps. Sgt. McElroy, you got my feet to where they needed to go.

Back when MoTown put out some of the best music on the planet. I'm a 59 year old metal head, but who couldn't appreciate talent, soul, and funk like MoTown

The way you can feel his energy build as the song progresses! 🤌🏾 my generation will never appreciate real music

Back when recordings were raw, real and honest. I love this song.

A real bass, real drums, real vocals and some dam mighty fine real horns!

I will NEVER forget hearing this song for the first time. I was nine years old and this came on the radio when I was lying in bed. Had my old trusty Zenith under the pillow so I wouldn't get caught listening when I was supposed to be sleeping. Eventually I inherited the 45 from the jukebox of the restaurant where my mom worked

This man is criminally underappreciated!

Edwin Starr has to be one of the best Soul singers to stand behind a microphone

The drums man, the drums 👌🏻

No auto tune , no programed drums - computer music. Real soul Real musicians. Sounds as good now as it did over 50 years ago.

Edwin Starr is still the Man.

Used to think of this song on my way back from Vietnam!

The drummer is excellent on this track..

Edwin Starr the most underrated Motown star ever! Makes no sense I will say it again he must have pissed someone off,he was too good.

Just watched the movie Adventures in Babysitting, while doing that for a close family member.. Twenty-five Miles is one of the last songs in the movie. Had to listen to it in full.

O M GEE! I'm 69 years old and I'm dancing' ! Whoo!

If this song doesn't get you up and moving, you are not alive!

I'm still puzzled by the fact that Edwin got more recognition in the UK than the US. So much so that he moved here to carry on his career. Glad he did!

This a freaking good song. Love it.

This song was played over and over again on the octopus ride at a carnival my friends and I went to in June 1969 . We loved it"!

This would wake me from a coma! Makes me feel 18 again!

My dad introduced me to this song back in 96 when I was 7 yrs old and I'm 31 now and my dad is 67 my dad taught me the meaning of real music this foolishness they have today doesn't make any sense give me the oldies but goodies any day of the week thanks dad for the classics

Putting down a pound of soul!!!!

Great song by an underrated singer.

I remember dancing to this back in the 60's. Met him 25 years later in London at a benefit concert. A lovely guy and great singer. Sadly missed.

Danced my little feet off to this song every time I heard it at Wigan Casino ...oh my days bring them back aaagh

55 years old and it seems like yesterday!! My favorite 😊band/singing song! “Nine Lives, Columbus, OH, 2968-70!!”

1969 was a fantastic year for music I was 14 never stopped dancing and still listen to Motown ♥️

The Bear series Edwin stars! Man I was on the floor…. omg,

I have lived this song. As I was walking 25 miles to get home, I was singing this song.

in 1968 i was 11. I could dance like a sister. Believe it! I LOVE Motown!!

One of the best songs from '69, which was an awesome year for music..I was there, I was 14 and in the 9th Grade. Today's hits just don't measure up.

Adventures in Babysitting brought me here

I heard a DJ in Detroit play this and he said "If you don't like this song, YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL".

I love thissong. I remember listening to it when I was a little girl. I'm 61 years young and I still Jam to it. Reminds me when my parents where together Bopping in the house.

Edwin Starr's vocals brought me here, he's definitely a SOUL MAN......BEST SONG!! 💯

I was in bed but had to get up and dance to this.

A man with a very unique talent and an incredible voice to go with it. R.I.P

For some reason this started playing in my head today. Over and over. So I decided to give it a listen. Should have saved all those 45's.

Edwin Starr was born Charles Hacther he grew up in Cleveland Ohio in The old Carver Park Housing Projects. Central avenue. He was my neighbor not only could he sing he could fight he kept the bad boys off me. Also did his sister Sharon. Retired Broadcaster of WJMO am. WABQ am, Cleveland Ohio. WIFE am Indy. WRTV television, Indy. WTLC fm. Indy. Rev. Dr. Calvin Drake Cleveland , Ohio 1-2- 2016

I'm 44 and I grew up on music this great thanks to my mom.

I got bad knees but I am dancing from the waist up.....sitting down yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Edwin Starr and his magic guitar. This cat could rock with the best of them. Makes you jump on the dance floor.

This music will keep you on your feet while cleaning up the house on Saturday morning

I love this song!! Was in a talent show dancing to this in the ‘70’s with a couple of friends ❤️

Edwin Starr is definitely good music.

Funk energy classic by Edwin Starr, RIP. Good rock aerobic music too. Thanks, Edwin. Vive les rock retro and funk freaks...

Very cool tune back in the day..thanks for the memories

This dude is a real SOUL BROTHER. 💯 Gotta see his lady.

The power of the hairy lasso makes a man perform exceptional feats

Listened to this East Bound on I-94 going into Detroit all the time..... Fit like a glove.

The Perfect Song!!!!!PERIOD!!!!!!

This song was a big hit in my life. I walked everywhere,I mean everywhere!!!

This song should be played at mile 1.2 of every marathon

I was 10yrs old in 69 and living in the projects on Blue Hill Ave, bordering Roxbury/ Dorchester Massachusetts. Although the 60s were turbulent and there WAS racial issues, for this Lil white boy skin color meant nothing. My Mom saw to that and I never had it in me to be like that. Wish I could say we've come a long way baby...... But 'WE HAVE NOT.' GREAT SONG. I'm 61 yrs old now (the age Edwin Starr died."

One of the best artists of his time

This cult classic masterpiece deserved to be featured in Once upon a time in Hollywood!😎✌️🌻

I remember dancing to this song when it first came out for two straight hours, playing it over and over again. Yea, ty fer the memories.

Indétrônable, sans âge, indémodable, une tuerie.!!!!@

First time I heard this song was my freshman year in band when my director was playing this in his office after school before rehearsal. We all walked into the band hall and started jamming and dancing when we heard it. We got hooked, and our director would play Motown, funk, soul and R&B every day after school. Best education ever.

I sure do love this....Edwin's last name says it all.....STARR ! This song is awesome! I heard it on TV earlier today and had to come here and "rediscover" it. 💖

Thank you Ned for the wonderful memories. Edwin Starr, 25 miles to go before he sees his baby over the hills just around the bend. Feet don't fail him, can't lose his stride, keep on steppin'. Summertime, yes, yes, yes.

My favorite song- ever! Heard it for the first time February 1969 at Kenyon College, freshman year!❤

This is soul music!!!!!

This is my theme song. I have walked 15,000 miles in the past 3 years and in Ripley's Believe It or Not for walking 10,000 miles in 19 months. This song is so cool

You can hear Edwin's pure joy in singing this incredible feel-good song. And that joy builds as he goes along.

Another project finished after years, blessed to listen to this the last few miles. :))

That is one of the baddest records ever recorded!!! The Funk Bros. killed it!!!

Classic pure gem

Seen Edwin on a scooter rally many years ago a true gentleman

Song still good to this day!!! 2019

I won a dancing contest with a girl named Teresa we were 14 in 1969 good memories

Edwin Starr most excellent. Love him!

Saw him live twice.grear singer and what a band he had.

I listen to this every single morning it's my get up song

Love this song. If this song dont make you want to stop what you're doing and dance. You have NO SOUL. 😎

I can remember back in the US ARMY playing this song in my head during a 10 Mile Road march we were on. On the last stretch of it I kept playing this song in my head until we made is back to the barracks

Thank you Edwin Starr for this '25 miles'! Ooo! This is good

Both are ballsy full of Soul . Can you feel the burning of the love?

Edwin had a really powerful, yet very smooth voice. I'm surprised most people only remember him for War. He could've been so much bigger

Sooooouuuulllll, baby!

Another great song that helped me survive my less then ordinarary life as a teenager.Edwin and I walked so many miles as Americans!!Funny thing I would not recognize Mister Starr unless I head his voice first!!!

had my best night at the twist wheel when i saw Edwin for the first time 1968

Damn this song is amazing! Nobody makes music like this anymore.

African American soul/R and B artistes gave so much to the music world in the 50s and 60s. Thank you for enriching the musical world forever. And thank you gaynormartin!

I can remember dancin to this 45 in my Detroit basement like it was yesterday. Still sounds fantastic!

I remember this song from when my Uncle Cha'lie Dogg used to listen to it on 1490 radio back in the days when we worked at the pallet yard.👍

There's no denying this song is a heartbreaker. Absolutely touches your heart. I think of men I broke up with, and how it hurt them, and it's sure not cute, and fun like I once thought. I've had to repent from ever doing that again. But this song wins the grand prize of touching hearts.

This song is funky and fabulous! I'm dancin' in my seat...I just love Edwin Starr...

Love this....loved Edwin, nearly every record he cut was a killer. Turn this clip up to (playback speed) 1.25 and I'm 15 again and full of uppers Ooowee!

This ultimate cult classic masterpiece deserved to be featured in Once upon a time in Hollywood! 😎🤗🌻

One of those songs that are sadly forgotten. What a good song to download for walking (and dancing)! Thanks for posting.

What a tune never heard this before.

I remember doing a dance to this song when I was in middle school!!! One of my favorite dances that I had growing up

Makes me think of Adventures in Babysitting, love it!!!

Takes me back to the early seventies when we used to play this on repeat heading over to yorkshire for some serious 25 miles bike racing.

Pure funk and soul brought me here.

I was around when this was new. Got me up and going then, still does now!

Why would anyone 👎one of the best feel good soul songs ever written. Saw Edwin Starr at a good few scooter rallies in the 80's. What a showman he was.
