Norman Whitfield producing them starting about '66, '67. Check Ball of Confusion by them released 1970. Written by Whitfield and Barrett Strong. Dope.
Fav
I don't know what that means, but thanks for trying. Any Hall and Oates liberty concert 1985.
Ball of Confusion by The Temptations is a classic.
This is based on the phrase "A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss"
- A rolling stone gathers no moss is an old proverb, first credited to Publilius Syrus, who in his Sententiae states, "People who are always moving, with no roots in one place or another, avoid responsibilities and cares."
You give a much better explanation than I honey 🤔👍🥰
Check out Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" for a deep dive into the concept.
They left out the part where the phrase also days "but gains a certain polish"
Drake couldn’t hold these dudes jockstraps
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
Who's Drake? We're talking about the Tempts!!
Now you have to watch footage of them performing.
💯❗
Agree
Yep ❤️
Quite simply a masterpiece of twentieth century music
Exactly!
I remember when this song came out - it was beyond awesome.
Absolutely!!!
Amen!
@@lindasmith3377 I remember it well…the song rang thru my high school hallways and we would dance to class ! Good times
Can't go wrong with the Temptations
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very sad song the great beat is deceiving.
Rolling stone means he just kept moving... never stayed in one place for long. This is seriously one of the best songs ever made. This version is an extended version that I've never heard before.
'Zactly! "A rolling stone gathers no moss."
That is a guitar. They are using a wah wah pedal to give it that sound. It was popularized in the late 1960's by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton (with his group Cream). Then it was used extensively in the 1970's with funk music.
I think he's talking about the bass. ??
Right!! Guitar!!
@@sv3931nope🫠
Yap
@@sv3931nope
Motown for a month! That will be a treat! The list of talent is very long.
Motown for a year might not even be enough to cover that list of talent and all the hits that they turned out ♥️
Can’t wait 😜
@@dianegoldeneye7207 I would so love it!!! Hope someone really does do it!!!
@@NativeNYerChicHK Twon said he was. He’s getting a list ready. Omg I have so many in my head. Just listening to some Marvin Gaye. RIP. what’s your favs ?
It’s black history month in February. 😊
One of the greatest songs ever
The Temptations are legendary. Their music catalog is extensive as heck. So many great songs.
I was lucky enough to see them at the 24 Karat on Telegraph Rd in Redford MI (just outside of Detroit). Totally awesome!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lyrically, vocally, and instrumentally one of the best tracks of all time.....
This white boy grew up listening to that Motown sound. Nothing like it in the world!!!
Its a guitar with a wah wah pedal.
You beat me to it.
Isn’t sad the younger generation are just now getting to hear get music. And yes it’s the guitar making that sound.
That is a wah pedal with guitar....this song is the SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
For decades! Banger extraordinare!!
That intro tho...
We called it a wah wah pedal
@@cathleensmith4717 yeah like I said
Another instance of “I know I’m old when…”
Someone hears a GUITAR and says “what’s that instrument? “
There's nothin' like jammin' to great old school soul music played with REAL INSTRUMENTS!
And real voices.
📣💯
There is NO bad song by the TEMPTATIONS. 🥰😍🥰😍🥰
You’ve got to pull up some of their live shows. Their dance moves were unbelievable!!!
Yep ❤️🥰
plus their outfits
Michael Jackson didn’t develop his dance moves out of nothing. He grew up watching the choreography of groups like the Temptations.
I LOVE watching young folk "discover" old school music!
A rolling stone gathers no moss. He didn't stick around.
Came here to say this.
Where he laid his hat was his home
@@timcustomrc Like my Paternal Grandfather ~ He was a bigamist ~ Two wives AND 2 Daughters 4 Months apart in age both named the SAME. He named them. Probably so he wouldn't get confused ~ LOL ~ So there's NYCity Zia and California Zia ~ Number One Wife showed up at my Grandmother's door with a baby in arms. Imagine that ~?!!! AND he always ate with his Fedora Hat on. Ol' Guiseppe was a rolling stone for sure. "Wherever he laid his hat was his home" ~ My Grandmother was always hitting him ( and his many chicks on the side ) with her stiletto heel, or cast iron frying pan, whatever she could grab first and fast.~ AYikes ~! True Story Folks.
I'll give you some black history to celebrate, take all month with it! Along with The Temptations, add The Four Tops, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, The Supremes, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, James Brown, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Ike and Tina Turner, Little Stevie Wonder, Booker T and The MGs, to name a few. You want great blues players? Albert King, BB King, Freddie King, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Robert Johnson, that should give you plenty to celebrate!
The violins, electric guitar, bass guitar and that hypnotic hi-hat beat with the hand clapping on the upbeat makes this such a powerful song...along with these AMAZING vocals....TIMELESS CLASSIC!!!
in 1972 I was on my third tour of combat and LISTENING TO THIS, WE ALL WERE!!! The seas music. I hope you youngsters feel that SOUL and see that even in negativity, there can be happiness. Take head kids... Semper Fidelis, Captain T, USMC
Thank you for your service. ❤
To having fun 1968 - Welcome home brother. "Anchors Aweigh" - 1965 - 1971
This song hit a lot of people hard. Those that came from broken families and had no father in their homes. The beat, the production, the horns…it was a masterpiece. Just a classic.
Masterpiece ...Dennis Edwards he da man RIP..Check out "I can't get next to you " whow ...
*Can't Get Next To You*
What a killer jam!
❤❤ Dennis Edwards
Thank you for taking a moment to look up the term "rolling stone"... many reactors simply guess what it means or do not get it, and then their enjoyment of the song is more limited.
Thats brilliant bass
Most likely the famous Funk Brothers - who backed everyone at Motown.
Born and raised in Detroit and on the Motown Sound - love it! The rabbit hole is deep: Temptations, Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Smokie Robinson, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, and on and on. !! And as others have said in comments, definitely check out the Temptations with David Ruffin, and check David Ruffin when he went solo: Walk Away from Love and My Whole World Ended
Preach!!
Temptations--Just my Imagination 🥰
Great song!
The greatest song about unrequited love
They started out in the 1960s as part of Motown .
Their hits My Girl , Just My Imagination , and Papa Was A Rolling Stone are in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll
Oh man...you need to check out some Bill Withers. It’s as soulful as it gets. “Ain’t no Sunshine” “Grandma’s Hands” and “Use Me” !
Also, "Lovely Day" and "Lean On Me"
@@talltulip and @ R.E.H. I've noticed they've been playing "Lovely Day" a lot on TV Commercials, Animation Flicks ~ Have that LP and the record jacket is beautiful. Nothing like Vinyl. Yeah, love "Ain't No Sunshine" & "Lean On Me" too. Thanks for posting those lovely, seems so long forgotten songs with so much heart and soul.
My all-time, hands-down favorite from Mr. Withers: “Hello, Like Before”. If you've never heard it, you're in for a treat!
Preach!!
The story of the song was a sad one. Kids that never knew their father, only hearing rough stuff about him, and trying to understand and learn more after he died. Unfortunately, many people out there can relate to stories like this. Grateful for the men out there who step up and are involved in raising, being there, and are good fathers for their kids, no matter what.
Say that!!
Liking it before the premiere even starts, because I **love** this song !
Heck ya. Me too
Same here. Great song.
That "wakka wakka" sound you hear is a guitar through a wah pedal. See also: "Theme from 'Shaft'" by Isaac Hayes; every porn soundtrack of the 70s, lol. If you've ever joked "bow-chicka-bow-wow," a'la porn music, you're mimicking electric guitar through a wah pedal.
LMAO!!!
😂
Temptations were/are one of Motowns greatest groups. I don’t think that they had a bad song. This is a great version of that song. Still love their music. Girl from the disco period. 🥰
Classic song; I love it. That's a bass guitar and a violin in the background. "And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Hey young blood your channel is tight. Being a old 52 year old I enjoy your reaction to some old school music and the new. Keep rolling it looks like you enjoy it. Thanks for spreading some joy.
You got double the bang for your buck with this track, the superb Temptations and the incomparable Funk Brothers. Definitely a classic.
Have you done the theme from Shaft by Isaac Hayes? Apparently “Hayes was the first African-American to win an Oscar in a music category.”
Wow I never knew that!
This group is Iconic, and one of the first to break the racial barrier when it came to music performances.
R I. P Eddie and David. Check them out with Hall and Oates. Get ready/ My girl. Live at the Apollo.
Thanks for that heads up! Stopped by to watch it last night - fun stuff!!
ive never heard this version of the song before. that "intro" is different then any version ive ever heard and Im a Temptations NERD.
They are my all time favorite group!! Love Motown!!
Daryl House, Hall and Oats, Daryl Hall, he jams at his house, listen to Daryl and Train, sing Papa was A Rolling stone, fantastic, Daryl House, has great jam sessions, with artists from every decade. Love Daryl Hall
A must!!!!!
Absolutely one the great jam session shows ....
It makes me so happy to see youngers like you learn what real Singing and music is all about
Facts bro!
This is the "Ben Hur" of Motown. An epic, flawless song by the best artists the country had to offer at the time. Still stunning.
The great Norman Whitfield!
Here are others he wrote:
"Ain't Too Proud to Beg"
"You're My Everything"
"I Wish It Would Rain"
"Cloud Nine"
"I Can't Get Next to You"
"Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)"
"Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)"
"Papa Was a Rolling Stone"
I Know I'm Losing You"
"Car Wash"
"Smiling Faces Sometimes"
"War"
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
Every one of the above.
All excellent jams!
Preach!!
The Mighty Temptations! Every member of this group was extremely talented. This Song is a Masterpiece !🔥
This one has soul stank all over it!
Along with the wah wah pedal on the guitar, you were hearing a violin.
Ball of Confusion is another good one and very pertinent to life today
One of the greatest classics of all time. So happy for you that you've discovered this. No one should live without knowing this song.
One of the fewest back up bands thats played on so many hits, Motowns Funk Brothers.
That intro is a specific technique on electric guitar. Love that funky sound. The Temptations were amazing - great music, and not afraid of delivering a strong message.
"Keep on truckin" - Eddie Kendrick
Can't go wrong with the Temptations! For February, I suggest the most romantic voice in American music history-- Johnny Mathis. His sweetest tune is "Chances Are." I think you'll enjoy his vibe. Truly. Keep doing what you do, Darling One! Great reactions :)
Ever hear him sing the lyrics to "Summer of '42"? Listen to them, especially if you've seen the movie and know it was a true story. Song is titled, "The Summer Knows" and the real Herman ( Hermie ) is narrating the end of The Story/Movie RE: His love affair with Dorthy. Though not Motown: SEAL "Kiss From A Rose" ~ Beautiful Voice ~ In keeping with Romantic Voices and February Black History Month. :-)
"A rolling stone gathers no moss" Someone who doesn't want to or can't commit
My Girl, Ain’t too Proud to Beg, are some their top hits! I just loved their performances. Their story was very sad! Watch it! 😘😊
You’re the cutest reaction ever!
My first time hearing something I requested. You definitely picked the LONG version. That song GOLD. temptations are GOLD. keep playing them ok. It will get better for you. And what’s that PO BOX # ? ❤️😊🎶 love ya.
I was always into heavy metal, progressive, alternative--but one of my all-time favorite concerts was The Temptations, and this song is in my top-ten list. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
This group simply cannot be imitated. Many lead singers. High fashion. Precision dancing. Just everything.
I just love love love this young man reaction to the music.. priceless.
This is Motown and the Temptations trying to stay up with the times. Their best stuff is classic and I agree with others that the David Ruffin and Eddie Kendrick years were the best.
Hey Tom … David Ruffin was long gone from the group when this came out [late summer of '72] ... Eddie Kendricks was also gone. Paul Williams was no longer around, too.
This group was Dennis Edwards and Richard Street and Damon Harris who had joined up with the two remaining "originals” - Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin
@@billreed6909 I don’t think I said anything to indicate that I thought they were still around. In fact, I was clearly harkening back to better times in the past.
@@tombreeden595 no problems -- I just want the youngsters to know the lineage
Salute to ya'
Been listening to this since I was a tiny child, way back then. I can attest that saying "dadgummit" will still make your Gramma smack the back of your head for swearing.
This made me LOL!
The Temptations are an American vocal group from Detroit, Michigan, who released a series of successful singles and albums with Motown Records during the 1960s and 1970s. The group's work with producer Norman Whitfield, beginning with the Top 10 hit single "Cloud Nine" in October 1968, pioneered psychedelic soul, and was significant in the evolution of R&B and soul music.The band members are known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and dress style. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are among the most successful groups in popular music. (extract from wiki)
It’s from the album Masterpiece - and it is a masterpiece.
I love that song !!! BTW. - The song was originally sung by the Motown group The Undisputed Truth.
Preach!!
In the 70’s I saw a live concert televised here in Australia featuring just The Temptations & The Supremes - try to find it! The show is fantastic. I hope it still “lives” somewhere!
wherever he lays his hat is his home.. sounds self explantory to me.. he was a no good daddy.. no control of his actions . a man child
Killer instrumental!!! Killer song. Way to get into it 😉😉😉 This song is a musical journey... as expressed by your natural reaction. Awesome 👌
The Mighty Temptations are pure Fire!!!
The Temptations
I was literally singing this song yesterday while was changing the oil in my car. Rolling stone- never stayed still for too long.
You asked, "Papa was a rolling stone... what does that mean?" There is a saying that, "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Here it is referring to the fact that he just couldn't stay put long enough to settle down anywhere; kind of like saying he couldn't stay in one place long enough for the dust to settle. I saw that you looked it up, but that source didn't seem to mention the original saying that it was taken from.
It was great watching you rock out to the song, even if it didn't say much beyond the one chorus over and over. The funky sound of this one makes it worth listening to even if it is pretty simple in terms of lyrics.
Like the person above said, they avoid responsibilities.
All he left them was alone.
(A loan? Lol)
Rolling stone - it comes from the saying "a rolling stone gathers no moss" - never staying in one place. Always on the move.
I can listen to this song every day of my life...have for almost 50 years. Always sounds good...
I’m a hard rock and metal guy and this has always been one of my favorite songs
Try this song from Live From Daryl's House. Excellent! Daryl Hall from Hall and Oats and Train is his guest. Great version of this song.
Preach!!
That noice is made from a guitar, check out Isaac Hayes 'Shaft' you'll hear that there a lot.
To answer your question regarding the instruments being played: this is true old school, cymbals, drums, strings, horns, piano's..... basic instruments. No magical instruments, just skill and talent. My favorite group. Oh, and some hand claps!
8:55 that's violins 🎻 played by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. They did the instrumentals with the Funk Brothers.
Temptations "Aint Too Proud To Beg"
DAVID RUFFIN THE MAN. Like this but prefer David.
Great song also.
It doesn't get much better than the Temptations.
I may be wrong but you didn't hear this kind of orchestration before this song was released and it is my belief that it heavily influenced R&B and led to the development of the sound of Philadelphia a year or two later. A masterpiece of the first order.
daddy was a playa
One of my favorite songs - a group called Was Not Was did an INCREDIBLE cover of this, worth listening to (the studio version that is).
“A rolling stone gathers no moss”... because it keeps moving, moss can’t grow on it. And his Papa was like that proverbial stone...
One of the Funk Brothers, white dude, Dennis Coffey on wha guitar in the background.
‘ A rolling stone gathers no moss.’
Love the intro to this. Such a great slow build. You have to love when a band takes time to let a song develop. There's no rushing perfection.
This song is from the 1972 Album called " All Directions ",composed and written by the legendary Tamla Motown duo of Norman Whitfield and Barret Strong. The Album is on the Motown label, and was my first experience of the greatness of the Temptations.
The instrument you can't identify is an electric guitar played through a wah wah pedal.
Greatest intro in the HISTORY of music.
Masterpiece! Also share some love for other great songs by The Temptations -- "My Girl", "Get Ready", "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)", "The Way You Do The Things You Do", "(I Know) I'm Losing You" ...
This was a Song that almost didn't get recorded. Dennis Edwards didn't' want to do it because his Father actually died on September 3rd. It was their Masterpiece and it was next to Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys and Hey Jude by The Beatles one of the very first Songs to go over 3 1/2 Minutes on Radio. Papa was a Pimp, A Bigamist, Drunk, Thief, Liar, had children outside of marriage. He's like a Frog who leaps from Pod To Pod. George Michael would later sample this Song for "Freedom/Papa Was A Rolling Stone"
Lawyers told you to! Man! I'm in the dark here. Hopefully you appreciate the different voices which they played with quite a bit in earlier years. This was about the time when Motown allowed artists to tackle serious subjects. Thank you for sharing!
The band behind the singers were the Funk Brothers. They were the Motown studio band and played on more #1 hits that the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys combined. Check out the excellent documentary "Standing In The Shadow Of Motown" If you'd like to learn more about them.
Best Soul song of all time. The band was amazing. The guitar part is called scratching. Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan used on Voodoo Child (slight return)
I often wondered when he sings the part: ....and when he died, all he left us was a (LOAN OR ALONE) They both fit. I love it when you look up other Info on the group/singer. Simply love it/your show.
Hey Twon my friend, In this song, they are clearly describing the kind of man his father was and the kind of life that he lived which is defining what it means when they say "Papa Was A Rolling Stone." No judgement, just a friendly suggestion, I know when it comes to a lot of new music today, you can easily get short-changed when it comes to good lyrics or the lack thereof. But when it comes to old school music, besides "bopping" your head to the beat, it is super important to pay close attention to the lyrics, because most of the time they're going to tell you the story!!!
Very True!
Grabbing the lyrics is always good...and almost a commandment with Steely Dan!
