Edwin Starr - Agent Double O Soul



Edwin Starr has a fantastically excitable singing voice. He gives the impression of being able to sing the dictionary like it was the secret of eternal life. This number where he hollers about being a secret agent of soul is no exception. The tune is very lively even by Northern Soul standards but my fondness for it is mainly based on the premise. It would be pretty wonderful if there was actually a secret soul organisation that sent out agents to make the world a little bit more funky.
