"Money Won't Change You" is a song recorded by James Brown in 1966. It was released in edited form as a two-part single which charted No. 11 R&B and No. 53 Pop.[1] Both parts of the single were included on Brown's 1967 album Sings Raw Soul.
An unedited version of the song appeared for the first time in the 1991 box set Star Time.[2][3]
It was his third message song, after "Don't Be a Drop-Out," and "Get it Together", songs recorded in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement.[4]
Billboard described the single as a "soulful wailer in the groove of the past Brown hits."[5] Cash Box said that it is a "pulsating, bluesy, danceable affair about a guy who appears to have serious problems with his gal."[6]
