In the new book, The Philosophy of Modern Song by Bob Dylan he talks about how great Barrett Strong was - that he never wrote a bad song, that saw the darkness and shone a light.

I had no idea how many non-Motown songs Barrett Strong had written till I started poking around this week.

The original line that followed was "It just might be someone putting a 'Kick Me' sign on your back" — but it was rejected for rhyming "back" with itself.

Correcting a botched factoid: Eddie Kendricks was still a Temptation in 1970, of course, when "Ball of Confusion" was recorded.
