Strong was the first artist to record a hit for Motown, although he is best known for his work as a songwriter, particularly in association with producer, Norman Whitfield.
In the 1980s, Strong recorded “Rock It Easy” on an independent label, and wrote, You Can Depend on Me, which appeared on their The Second Time album (1988). He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004.
