Originally written for Smokey Robinson & the Miracles by Barrett Strong ("Money (That's What I Want)") and Norman Whitfield, the song faced an uphill battle past Berry Gordy to reach the public. Gladys' and the Pips' version was the first to be released and eventually became a #1 single. Of course it was later outperformed by Marvin's definitive take, but this is stellar... seen here on Soul Train. Enjoy!
