He'll be inducted in the non-performers category with Norman Whitfield.

Barrett Strong Jr. was removed from the original copyright illegally. It exists in the copyright office for all to see. Mr. Strong went on to record multiple artists on his own label but ultimately the only artist to truly make it out of his local roster to international fame is "Eliza Neals" the Detroit Diva. Eliza has multiple radio hits including "Sugar Daddy" and "Love Dr. Love" both co-writes with Mr. Strong. He continues to write today and lives in California with his loving family.

The Beatles covered Money (That's What I Want) in 1963. The TV cartoon, Tiny Toon Adventures had a great rendition of the song in 1991.
