Page for Ed Battle contains credits for two different people.
I discovered a mistake and I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone here will correct it. This page for Ed Battle (Edwin Louis Battle 1957-1993 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0061502) contains credits for 2 different people both named Ed Battle. A new page needs to be created for jazz singer Ed Battle (Born Edward Reed Battle Jr. August 8, 1934, in Bridgetown, NJ. Died December 26, 2019 in Denver, CO) and the credits need to be moved to the new page. I was able to confirm with 100% certainty that jazz singer Ed Battle appeared in The Forgotten One (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099601), The Chase (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101566), and JazzTown (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15920898). While I could not find Almost Blue (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103655) online, it is a jazz themed movie and it is mentioned in his obituaries so it's safe to assume it was him. From his obituary at https://www.kuvo.org/rip-ed-battle-jr/ "Battle also made appearances in various films shot in part in Denver. Of note was his role in 1996’s Almost Blue, a film about a jazz saxophonist." From his obituary at https://www.westword.com/music/ed-battle-obituary-11593972 "He also appeared in several films, including The Chase, The Forgotten One and 1996’s Almost Blue, which was shot in Denver..." This is a photo of him from the IMDb page for JazzTown: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15920898/mediaviewer/rm1403447297/ He can be seen here at 27:08 of The Forgotten One: https://youtu.be/l4NkvJmSfAs and at 14:05 of this dubbed version of The Chase playing a good samaritan: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TAY6XChQRos There is a decent shot of his face at 14:15 and it's clearly not the much younger and thinner Ed Battle from Mother's Day seen here at 15:05 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gszzkQrAjYc and The Dreamcoat Special seen here at 15:30 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L8ye6aGF6XI There is also a lot of autobiographical information in his obituaries, perhaps some of that can be added to the new page.
