About Barrett Strong
As a recording artist, Barrett Strong was destined to be branded a one-hit wonder, but that hit, "Money (That's What I Want)," not only became an R&B and rock & roll staple, it was the first major hit for Tamla/Motown Records, which became one of the most successful and influential labels of all time. Strong would enjoy more consistent success as a songwriter, penning major hits for Marvin Gaye, Edwin Starr, the Dells, Mary Wells, and many more, as well as writing many of the songs that would reposition the Temptations as one of Motown's most progressive acts, such as "Cloud Nine," "Psychedelic Shack," and "Ball of Confusion." 2004's The Complete Motown Collection gathered all his material as a headliner for the iconic label.
