Temptations Papa was a Rolling Stone 50 years ago!

"It's worth being older now to have been young then"

My favourite group of all time the Temptations with Dennis Edwards on lead vocals with this absolute Classic/Masterpiece - Papa was a Rolling Stone.

I prefer the falling in love and out of love Temptations songs such as My Girl with David Ruffin on lead vocals but I absolutely love Papa was a Rolling Stone.

Remember when I first heard this song thought it was the coolest thing I had ever heard.

Great song from times when Motown was at it's height. Great days.

When he died ( Papa ) did he leave them alone or A Loan ?

Fond memories. Just coming up to my 20th birthday. Never been that keen on extended intros but this and before it 'Ain't no mountain high enough' by Diana Ross and later 'Shaft' by Isaac Hayes helped change my mind. Thanks for that. Good start to the day.

And it's one of the best cover versions ever, too. (The original by The Undisputed Truth, released before the Temptations had recorded theirs).
