Motown legend Barrett Strong has died.
The news was confirmed by Berry Gordy, who founded the iconic soul and R&B label in Detroit.
Barrett Strong was born in West Point, Mississippi in 1941 before his family ventured North in search of work. Drawn to Detroit, the youthful Barrett Strong came of age in a city searching for its identity, and using music to do so.
As a performer, Barrett Strong gave Motown its first hit, with the oft-covered ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’. An emphatic voice in the Motown stable, he penned such iconic singles as Edwin Starr’s almighty protest song ‘War’.
Forging a partnership with Norman Whitfield, the two would guide The Temptations’ psychedelic soul era, notching up a Billboard No. 1 in 1971 with their beautiful ‘Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)’. Indeed, the pair would go on to earn the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 1973 with ‘Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone’.
Barrett Strong passed away over the weekend – he was 81 years old. No cause of death was given.

Mystic Meg (awaiting the 'never saw that coming')
Margaret Lake, the British astrologer known as Mystic Meg, has died aged 80.
She became a household name in 1994 when she hosted a slot on the National Lottery draw where she looked into a crystal ball to predict a future winner.
Lake pioneered phone-in horoscopes, launching a dedicated phone line in 1989 that broke BT records. She had a regular column in the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World.
She died on Thursday morning having been admitted to hospital with flu last month.
Her agent, Dave Shapland, said: “Without any question, she was Britain’s most famous astrologer by a million miles. Nobody came close to Meg in that respect. She was followed by millions in this country and also around the world.
“She even became part of the English language – if a politician, somebody from showbiz or ordinary people in the street are asked a tricky question they will say: ‘Who do you think I am, Mystic Meg?’”
