Bradford Hobbs joined Motown in 1958 as a receptionist and went on to collaborate with founder Berry Gordy on some of the label's most iconic compositions.1 She co-wrote "Money (That's What I Want)," which was recorded by Barrett Strong in 1959,1 and contributed to "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby," among other notable works.1 Her songwriting talents were sought by numerous music legends, including The Temptations and Marvin Gaye.1 Later in her career, she served as Writer Relations director for Jobete, Motown's publishing company.1
