Biography
Angelo Starr (real name: Angelo Hatcher) is the brother of Motown singer Edwin Starr and featured within Edwin's band for much of his career.
Angelo Starr was asked by Edwin's manager and band members to step forward and front the band when Edwin passed away in 2003.
In 2007, Angelo signed a record deal with UK producer Ian Levine. Levine heard Angelo's similarity to Edwin (whom Levine had recorded for his Motorcity Records project in the early 90s).
