[edit] Career
Born in Richmond, Virginia, Edwards was an R&B singer most remembered for his 1958 Billboard No. 1 "It's All In The Game". He sang his hit song on The Ed Sullivan Show, on 14 September 1958. The song was composed by the then future U.S. Vice-President, Charles G. Dawes in 1912, as "Melody in A Major", with lyrics written in 1951 by Carl Sigman.
Although Edwards recorded a number of other songs, none came close to achieving the same level of success. He died after suffering a brain aneurysm in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia at the age of 47.
