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???
Entered 🔥💯 1 Feb 1960.
