McPhatter's voice, but not his name, had become well known when he was the lead singer for Billy Ward and the Dominoes. The song was an immediate hit and remained on the rhythm and blues chart for 23 weeks, peaking at number 1.[3] Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 252 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[2] The recording was reported to have sold more than two million copies by 1968.[4] CompositionThe song begins with the man who has run out of money encountering his landlord who demands the rent if the man continues to stay. Desperate, he calls "the woman that (he loves) the best" to help him out. When he meets her, she asks the man what does he want from her. The man's reply is: Money, honey Money, honey Money, honey, if you want to get along with me[5] She, who is not literally buying, scolds the man for his words and says that "(their) romance is through", meaning that she is breaking up with him. When the man asks about "another man taking (his) place", the woman mimics his words, possibly to show that she loves the other man, who already has money. In the end, the man says that he has learned his lesson, but, soon enough, is still desperate for money. {{clarify|date=June 2014}} The recordingThe song was recorded on August 9, 1953, at Atlantic Studios, with Clyde McPhatter (lead vocal), Bill Pinkney (baritone), Andrew "Bubba" Thrasher (second tenor), Gerhart "Gay" Thrasher (top tenor), and Willie Ferbie (bass). Walter Adams was the guitarist for the record.[1] The recording features Mickey Baker on guitar [6] and Sam "the Man" Taylor on tenor sax.[7] The arrangement starts with a bagpipe-like drone from the Drifters setting up a shuffle rhythm. McPhatter's voice is clear and bright and in the midst of the sax solo he gives off a monumental scream. Covers
