EDWIN STARR - "TIME IS PASSING BY"

Time Is Passin' By  (James Dean - William Weatherspoon) - 2:50  rating: **** stars

I think The Monitors may have recorded it earlier.   Starr's version didn't stray too far from their version, but the combination of the instantly catchy melody; cute lyrics; killer bass line, and Starr's simmering voice made this one of the album highlights.  Another track should have been a massive single for the man.   Here's a link to one of the YouTube audio clips of the song:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M1hEg4yOjIgle for Starr.
