Remembering Barrett Strong: “Our Motown family has lost a beloved brother and extraordinary songwriter. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. I knew Barrett Strong for over 60 years. We grew up together in the north end section of Detroit, where we lived across the street from one another. I’ll always remember our time spent together at 2648 West Grand Boulevard in Detroit. He collaborated with Norman Whitfield on writing many of our award-winning chart hits from the 60’s
