Money (Berry/Gordy/Bradford)

Quotes

“(John) later said he sang ‘Money’ ‘like a madman.’ This could suggest he gave it his usual full-on blistering voice – but actually he meant he was crazed. Far from belting it out, he audibly pulls back, playing safe, ending up neither one thing nor the other, in no-man’s-land. Where was the Lennon soul, edge, bite?…Only once in John Lennon’s life would he be heard timid, and it was here today.” – Mark Lewisohn, from Tune In
