Yes,barrett strong got it going back in[59]but jr.walkers version kicks butt too.
Both are great but Barrett Strong's wins out for me.
The original one by Barrett is the best one.
My first choice is the original by Barret Strong. And the version by Mary Wells [[from the Something New - Lost And Found set) is my second favorite version of 'Money [[That's What I Want)'.
Barrett Strong.
I had never heard Junior Walker's version before and having just listened to it... I can say that it's brilliant and vibrant and explosive and BRILLIANT!
However I also love Barrett Strong's original version which is and remains a classic!
Jr Walker's is my favorite. But I love all of Jr Walkers music.
I love Blinky's version.
I may just about agree with you on this one vgalindo. It is difficult to choose between this and Barrett's masterly original.Quote:

I just listened to the Blinky version on Youtube; what a nice bluesy arrangement!!
For yet another unique interpretation! The Hattie Little's bluesy version gives the song a run for its money.

Another great version, by Buddy Guy!

Classic music seems to take on a life of it's own, you can't necessary remember when you first heard it as it appears to have been around forever & sounds fresh every time you hear it. As is the case with say Muddy Waters "Got My Mojo Working" and of course Barrett's Money. In my opinion It's pointless to compare other version's as being better, just enjoy them for what they are ie. good or even great version of a great song. Here's a cover I like.

The best version of Money is undoubtedly that by Amos Milburn.
The only mystery is why HW left it off the Amos Milburn cd back in the day.
Me too :)Quote:
