Also, never knew he was a songwriter (I only casually listened to Money) and worked on songs like “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “War” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” Also also never knew about him being uncredited for writing Money and having to fight to re-credit himself (don't know if I worded that right).

Known for writing and singing Motown Records first major hit song, Money (That’s What I Want) he also co-wrote with Norman Whitfield I Heard it Through the Grapevine, War, and Papa Was a Rolling Stone. He wrote the lyrics to many of the Temptations songs as well. Truly a legend.
