Barrett Strong sang 'Money (That's What I Want)' and co-wrote 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine', 'Ball of Confusion', 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone', and many, many more hits for Motown.

2023 has been a real bastard so far...

Whitfield and Strong were quite a writing combo back in the 70s and 80s. RIP.
