# "Money (That's What I Want)""Devil in Her Heart" is a song originally recorded in Detroit by the Donays (for Correc-tone Records, and was later picked up by the New York City label Brent and was re-released in August, 1962), as "(There's A) Devil In His Heart" (on Brent 7033, with the B-side "Bad Boy"). It was written by Richard P. Drapkin, who recorded under the name Ricky Dee, and it appeared in the United Kingdom on the Oriole label. The Donays only made one record, but their lead singer, Yvonne Allen, recorded solo, and later joined The Elgins at Motown.

The song was performed by The Beatles on stage during 1962 and 1963, with George Harrison on lead vocals. It was issued on their second LP, "With the Beatles" in November 1963. The recording was completed in three takes, plus overdubs.
