Both of these artists were featured on Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots Time Warp to April 25, 1969. So, I did a little research on them in Wikipedia as most folks don't know that much about them.
I always wonder how much of Stroud's interesting anecdotes are from memory or did he look them up?
EDWIN STARR "Twenty-five Miles"
1942-2003. His biggest hit "War" an antiwar song, went to #1" Born Nashville, Tennessee, but moved to Cleveland. First big hit "Agent Double 'O' Soul" also "SOS: Stop Her On Sight."
BUCHANAN BROTHERS "Medicine Man, (Part 1)"
Not to be confused with a 1940s country band consisting of brothers Chester and Lester Buchanan.
A late 60s studio band consisting of Terry Cashman, Gene Pistilli and Tommy West who released several singles of which "Medicine Man" was the biggest. Terry Cashman is best-known for his 1981 hit "Talkin' Baseball. He also wrote "Sunday Will Never Be the Same" which was recorded by Spanky and Our Gang. He also produced for Jim Croce.
There really isn't a lot of information on this Buchanan Brothers. I always thought they were a black group, but they weren't.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
