Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: For The Love of Money (1973)

 The O'Jays' 1973 hit, "For The Love of Money", has been licensed for use in commercials over the years, and, as I'm finding out today, also served as the theme to The Apprentice. We can at least trust that producer Mark Burnett worked out the necessary details, since the show's "star", one Donald J. Trump, likely wouldn't, given what we know about him today.


"Money" has been covered by artists as diverse as Todd Rundgren's band, Utopia, Bulletboys, and actress-singer Katey Sagal (Futurama), who recorded her version 20 years ago.
