Money (That's What I Want)
In 1963, Beatles manager Brian Epstein approached Gordy for the rights to record several Motown songs, including "Please Mr. Postman", "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and "Money (That's What I Want)". Rather than the industry standard of two cents, Epstein only offered one a and a half cents per record sold. Gordy initially refused, only relenting two minutes before the offer was set to expire.
