PAPA ZITAS perform "MONEY (Thats What I Want)" at The Pavilion in Cork City

THE PAPA ZITAS perform MONEY (Thats What I Want!)

Barrett Strong was among the first artists signed to Berry Gordy's Motown corporation, and is the performer on the company's first hit, "Money (That's What I Want)," which reached #2 U.S. R&B in 1960. It was originally released on the Tamla record label, a forerunner of Motown, but it was leased to the Anna label as it was getting airplay, and it was on the Anna label that it was a hit. It gave Strong his only major hit as a vocalist, and it was later recorded by Richard Wylie And His Band, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Searchers, The Beatles, The Flying Lizards, and Buddy Guy.

The Papa Zitas perform "Money" in their exclusive Motown Set.
