I think this guy and Norman Whitfield may be the best songwriters of Motown, as good or better than Smokey Robinson and Holland Dozier Holland.
This was actually written by Motown founder Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford. I still hear DJs crediting it to the Beatles. SMH ]
I heard “Money Can’t Buy Me Love”...but it can rent it for a few hours at a time.
This song was even covered by a British alternative/Gothic band. I always thought the lyrics of this song were pretty conservative.
Creedence Clearwater Revival turned in an 11-minute version of “Grapevine” on its 1970 album Cosmo’s Factory.
I’ll take that version. Thank You.
God rest his soulful soul.
WOW, just one of the greatest popular song writers ever! His credits are soundtrack of my life from the early 60’s to the present day. Rest in peace, sir, and thanks for the hundreds of memories.
Edwin Starr - War (Original Video - 1969)
I wonder how that song would have done if Starr has stuck with his original title, “War and Peace”?
Barrett Strong’s “Money” was covered by SO MANY bands. I always liked his version best.
I like Pink Floyd’s version from the Dark Side of the Moon album.

Wow. What a talent. RIP.
As a white boy growing up in the 50s and 60s, we loved Motown.
