One of the greats. Another gone.

Another one gone! Strong was a Motown heavy hitter and c'mon - everybody loves "Money". RIP.

Also recorded Money, the first Motown hit, which arguably helped get the label off the ground. He claimed (and there’s circumstantial evidence backing him up) that he substantially wrote the music for the song, although he was denied a songwriting credit. Later famously covered by The Beatles among others.
