Barrett Strong gravou “Money (That’s What I Want)” em 1959 como o primeiro sucesso do Motown, lançando no Tamla, distribuído nacionalmente pela Anna Records.
A composição foi escrita por Berry Gordy, fundador da Motown, e Janie Bradford, consolidando‑se como canção‑título da primeira grande conquista de Gordy.
A faixa foi regravada por vários artistas de renome: os Beatles (1963), os Rolling Stones (1964) e os Flying Lizards (1979).
A versão de Strong mantém um ritmo soul marcante que influenciou a trilha sonora de inúmeras bandas de rock e soul, refletindo a fusão de gêneros que caracterizou a era.
