[edit] Biography

Angelo Starr (real name: Angelo Hatcher) is the brother of singer Edwin Starr and backed his brother for many years. When Edwin Starr passed away in 2003, Edwin Starr's band and manager all felt they wanted to keep Edwin's legacy going and asked Angelo Starr to step forward to front the band. When UK producer Ian Levine heard Angelo's similarity to Edwin (whom Levine had recorded for his Motorcity Records project in the early 90s), he offered him a record deal, and Angelo Starr did the opening track "Stand on My Own Two Feet" for Levine's Northern Soul 2007 album. The song was also released on a 7" single backed with "Non Stop Destination". It was followed up by the song "There's a Storm Coming On" for Levine's Disco 2008 album.
