Charles Edwin Hatcher 
      American musician (b. Jan. 21, 1942, Nashville, Tenn.—d. April 2, 2003, Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, Eng.), achieved enduring popularity with his classic 1970 recording of the protest song “War,” which topped the pop charts for 13 weeks. In 1965 Starr signed with Detroit's Ric Tic Records and released a single he had written, “Agent Double-O Soul,” which made the rhythm-and-blues (R&B) top 10. The next year his “Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.)” was also successful. Shortly thereafter Motown Records bought out Ric Tic, and Starr's 1969 single for Motown, “25 Miles,” made both the R&B and pop top 10. In the 1980s Starr moved to Great Britain, where he maintained a busy touring schedule.
