Barrett Strong died yesterday aged 81. Not a well known name, but he was the voice behind Motown’s first hit record, Money, released in 1960. However, he was better known as a song writer alongside Norman Whitfield penning hits including I Heard It Through The Grapevine, War and a number of hits for the Temptations such as Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Ball of Confusion and Cloud Nine. R.I.P.

Years ago I worked with a chef called Eddie who, to say the least, had a very short fuse. Whenever this song came on the radio we would sing our own version of the song - Whenever I’m stressed, whenever I’m pissed, whenever the orders are heavy, I throw a pan at a waiter man, (bang, bang), just like Eddie. Needless to say, we never sang it if he was in earshot. Happy days. Bob Dylan - Just Like A Woman
