“Before they wrote million-dollar hits… The Beatles were covering songs about wanting money!”
“‘Money (That’s What I Want)’ wasn’t their song. It was a 1959 hit by Barrett Strong — Motown’s very first!”
“Producer George Martin played that wild piano solo himself — banging it out in true rock ’n’ roll fury.”
“And John? He screamed every line like he meant it. Fans say it’s one of his rawest vocals ever.”
“So next time you hear it, remember — the song might be about money, but the passion? That was all Beatles.“
