"Money (That's What I Want)" is a #rhythmAndBlues song written by #Tamla founder #BerryGordy and #JanieBradford, which was the first hit record for Gordy's #Motown enterprise. #BarrettStrong recorded it in 1959 as a single for the Tamla label, distributed nationally on #AnnaRecords. Many artists later recorded the tune, including #theBeatles in 1963 and #theFlyingLizards in 1979.

The late great #BarrettStrong claims that he co-wrote #Money (That's What I Want) with #BerryGordy and #JanieBradford. (After all, Strong's piano riff comprises about 50% of the song.) His name was removed from the copyright registration 3 yrs after Money was written, restored in 1987 when the copyright was renewed, and then excised again the following year. Gordy has stated that Strong's name was only INCLUDED because of a... clerical error???
