Money (That's What I Want)
"Money (That's What I Want)" is a 1959 song by Barrett Strong for the Tamla label, distributed nationally on Anna Records. It was written by Tamla founder Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford and became the first hit record for Gordy's Motown enterprise. It went on to be covered by many artists including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones (1964) and the Doors, and with covers by the Kingsmen (1964), the Sonics (1965) and the Flying Lizards (1979) reaching high chart positions.
==Overview==
The song was originally released on Tamla in August 1959. Anna Records was operated by Gwen Gordy, Anna Gordy and Roquel "Billy" Davis. Gwen and Anna's brother Berry Gordy had just established his Tamla label (soon Motown would follow) and licensed the song to the Anna label in 1960, which was distributed nationwide by Chicago-based Chess Records in order to meet demand; the Tamla record was a resounding success in the Midwest. The song features Strong curtly demanding that money is what he needs, more than anything else. In the US, the single became Motown's first hit in June 1960, making it to number 2 on the Hot R&B Sides chart and number 23 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song was listed as #288 on ''Rolling Stone''s "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
Piano and lead vocals were supplied by Barrett. Guitar on the track was played by Eugene Grew.
Virtually all of the records issued were 45's, the 10" 78 format, issued by Anna, is described as "extremely rare."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= 45worlds )〕
