While Edwin Star's version is fantastic, I wish more people knew of the original

Edwin Starr blew this version out of the water. I love the temptations but Edwin Starr went number 1 for a reason

One of the times where the original isn't as good. This is still a good record though.

The Temptations play "Aint Too proud" brought me here, I had no idea that they covered this first!!

According to Wikipedia, Edwin Starr's version is more intense.
I agree.

Original album filler by the Temps ,It was felt too politically hot for the Temps to release as a single .So they funked it up for the single charts & Put Edwin’s powerful voice on it ,the rest is history .Loads of People have recorded versions of it .But the Temps & The late Edwin Starr ,s versions stand out from all others .UK Motown fan .

Didn't know of this version until about 1/2 hour ago. The Temptations were an awesome part of the soundtrack to my childhood. Actually, so was the Edwin Starr version of this. I'm glad I was influenced so young by those who challenged the maniacs in power.
So damn little has changed.... :(

2:31 the power of Paul

How can you not like anything The Temps do?? However, I like the Edwin Starr version a lot more. Never heard the Temps version before, so it is hard to get Edwin's version out of mind while listening to this. I may be slightly biased since my bro, Bob Babbitt, killed it on bass for Edwin's version.

War is only good for the undertaker!

The Temptations were the first act to record this famous song. As the subject of the Vietnam war was a controversial one, the song was given to a lesser known act, the singer Edwin Starr and it became a big Nr.1, later covered very successfully by Bruce Springsteen.

2:26 Paul is way tooo much. That part is so divine

This is great but Edwin Starr gave it the power it really lacked and added conviction to it.

this is a song, a tune, a well done record. Edwin Starr's version is a going to Church on Sunday yelling to god almighty anthem.
