There is absolutely no talent in the music industry today that can write music like this!
That's the gospel truth!
The full-length version runs 11 minutes 50 seconds. There's much more of that great music arrangement.
I love the original.....No edit needed. lol
@@rustybstuff3082 where's the good long versions of great music now. There ain't none, great music is long gone.
This is quite possibly the coolest song EVER!
It it ain't, it'll do until the coolest song gets here.
@@philiphill6697 nice no country for old men call out
I would put Issac Hayes's "Shaft" up there with this.
It's so cool it's ICE COLD!!
One of the simplest bass lines ever, yet one of the most effective.
Yes, simple, but can be tricky because of the long pauses between beats. Really have to be on beat to hit the note exactly when needed. But definitely a great notable simple bass line.👍👍
How can you forget the best line?: "all he left us was alone."
Wow. How interesting! I always heard it as “… all he left us was a loan.” But you are so right-double meaning!!!
In my eyes,this is the greatest Temps Compilation of lyrics and musical genius.They just don't make em like they used to
A slow burner that was hugely impactful in its time. Great storytelling, fantastic musicianship, very memorable vocals. And that mournful violin outro... unforgettable.
Everything about this song is great. Instrumentation, groove, vocals. lyrics, totally amazing.
The great Motown songwriter/producer Norman Whitfield (1940-2008) is finally getting inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame this year. He was responsible for all of the musically-complex and socially-conscious Temptations tracks of the late '60s and early '70s, including this one, along with many other heavy hits like "War" for Edwin Starr. A true musical genius and groundbreaker.
A masterpiece!
Yes, thats also a great song of them............ 😝
@@iche50 Yes it is. I started to point that out in my comment!
Oddly enough, it's not on my Command Performances: 17 Greatest Hits CD.
I was 12 years old when this song was released. Every time this song came on the radio I listened and wondered about the content and message that was in the song. I felt sorry for the family of the fictional Papa character. This composition is brilliantly written and performed.
This was the era of the "wacka-wacka" with deep bass music. I loved it! Motown was the best!
Some people were lucky enough to grow up listening to this on the radio. Good times!
The song is Pure magic .
One of the GREATEST introductions to a song ever! My favorite Temps song!
You`re absolutely right, Angela. The atmosphere captured here within vocals, horn, strings section, the killer bass lines at the intro, somehow a little echo, such a delay device, the wha pedal guitar effect, all that blended in a true master piece of the Golden Era in the Motown sound, a song to be listened till the end of time, the last earth`s day, if I can describe it like this. My very first time listening, my home town, Bogotà, Colombia, one night back in 1972, it was a privilege. as well.
Continue to R.I.P to the Temptations that are no longer with us ❤. Thanks Angela for this early 70's House party classic. 😊
We saw them with the last living group member a couple summers ago. He was doing all th singing and moves. They've got a great catalogue for their shows.
@@starman2337 I have no doubt. I love everything by the temps
There is one original temptation left in the group
@@charlesbarber7523 yes mr Otis Williams
Pretty much about this time they had already departed from the traditional Motown sound. This was psychedelic soul.
Masterpiece. Greatest single line ever! Alone
This was one of the first groups I started listening to when I was a teenager in the late 60s. Incredible group. They earned 4 Grammy awards. Check out "My Girl", "Just my Imagination" and "Can't get Next to You."
"Masterpiece", another great Temps piece.
This song has many of the sounds of the “Theme from Shaft”, with Shaft coming out of Memphis and “Papa” coming out of Motown. I too like the wah-wah pedal guitar sound.
Heavy late 60s / early 70s vibe -- social content, musical experimentation, outside the box in many ways, incredibly complicated song, the song has a lot of pathos to it, it could leave you with a heavy heart, but it is very beautiful
A definitive song of the 1970s! I was all of 6 years old and knew it well.
Thanks for the reaction, this is my favorite Temptations song!
Thanks Angela. Classic Temptations. I was 17 when this came out. Take care. ☮
I remember when this song broke the radiowaves! I still know all the words!
AND MAMA,
Watch them performing this song on Soul Train!
there is a stone cold wind of loss and abandonment blowing through this one. :(
Hi Angela, great selection snd reaction. This was the last #1 hit by The Temps. The lead singer is Dennis Edwards, who replaced the legendary David Ruffin.
There is an excellent documentary about The Temps that was aired on NBC a number of years ago.
Classic song. We all heard this one.
I love watching this group. And then they start singing. Wow!
I was strictly into hard rock back in ‘72,but this song stopped me dead in my tracks…..So great.
70s best decade for music.
This song hit #1 for 1 week on billboards pop chart and #5 on billboards soul chart in 1972.
Classic! Classic! CLASSIC!! The Temptations were the truth and this was The Jam!! I was only 2 years old when they released it, but The Temptations were My Mom's Favorite Group and She knew ALL The Lyrics!! Rest In Peace in Heaven Mom and Rest In Peace to all of The Temptations that have transitioned to Heaven.
This is unmistakable with that great intro. This was different to anything they had done before and a great song-Colin Ward
A great song by a great band. Perfect!
I bought this "45" back in 1972 and it's been in my playlist ever since. The musicality and vocals are absolute genius. For what it's worth, I'm an old (given when I bought the record, that's obvious) white guy.
The beginning of this song always reminds me of the theme song of "Shaft".
A Real Soul Classic!
I have this tune on CD. Temptations were HUGE when I grew up listening to CKLW radio out of Windsor, Ontario, Canada (Metro Detroit).
Great song and reaction
There are very few people today that could recreate this sort of mood and then the lyrics going with it. Yeah this is a classic
I agree, Angela, this could have been an instrumental from start to finish and I would have still loved it...
Best intro to any song. Ever.
This recording is a masterpiece. One of the top songs of all time.
Motown Music is a true American Treasure.
Maybe my favorite of all time!!!
The best of Motown. Temptations forever. And the Funk brothers instrumentals. That was Melvin Franklin singing bass, Dennis Edwards on lead vocals.
I like how unlike other channels you give a real breakdown of the song.
Awesome song!! Haven’t heard it in years!! 👏👏
A Classic!!
For another song by the Temptations , try Ball of Confusion .
this song scene was GREEEAAAATTTT in the biopic
When Papas are rolling stones, it makes life tough on the family. On the other hand, if Mama and Papa cannot get along, he has to go, so it ain't always Papa's fought.
These dudes were just cool. The epitome of cool.
SUPERSTAR (REMEMBER HOW YOU GOT WHERE YOU ARE. )
BALL OF CONFUSION,
PSYCHEDELIC SHACK,
and GLASS HOUSE are hits from the Temptations ready to make your hips dip and groove real smooth.
Dennis Edwards was always my favorite lead singer for this group. Aretha Franklin fell in love with his voice and later the man himself.
Great tracyion,,Angela
Story of this song. Dennis Edwards had just became the lead singer after Ruffin got kicked out. So they have this new song. Dennis walked out and said I will never sing that song. He did anyway. His dad died on the 3rd of September. CK out the Temptations movie. Free on RUclips 😊
Definitely worth spending the time, it's a long movie but very well done.
@@jamesrobbison yup. And don't forget the band. Made more number one hits than any band. The Funk Brothers!
GREAT TUNE! Love It! Thank You!
Iconic. Rhe best
This was the first cassette I bought, which introduced me to "black" music and MOTOWN in 1972. I was 21 at the time - I am now 73 years old. The cassette is called "MASTERPIECE" and is blue - I still have it today, and the version presented is "unfortunately" without the absolutely gigantic foreplay. The version on the MC is over 14 minutes long and is indeed a masterpiece.
Classic 🎶
Another great song by the Temptations... Ball of Confusion
Top tier, top shelf, gold.
Over 50 years plus and it still sounds great. Also a great preforming group.
One of greatest songs ever written. And it didn't get any better than, The Temptations. Songs back then told stories......good, bad and ugly,
Lovely Angela. This is a great group.
you really need to watch the Temptations movie. because the recording session for this song is absolutely wild and has its own wild story behind it. Dennis won the Grammy's for them but im a David Ruffin fan because he gave them the number 1's. no matter who was the lead vocalist in either era of the group, one thing remained constant "Ain't no one coming here to see you, Otis"
Best intro ever, it could be a hit all by itself.
Thank you.Really.Thank you.
"... all he left us was a loan." Thanks, Mama. We knew we could depend on you to tell us the troop.
Hmmm, takes me way back. I saw the Temptations live north of Detroit about 1974, and they were good - did many of their even more popular hits, but I remember THIS song the most. It was very a very powerful performance on stage.
Great song
Play this song especially every 3rd of September. My favorite Temptations track.
This is ultimate OG song ever!
Where are you papa!?
Awesome tune. The instrumental build up emphasizes the seriousness of the situation the lyrics describe.
This is peak late Temptations, if you couldn't tell already. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, if there was any question.
Line after line of music layers laid down.l went to a huge county school we all sang this song in the locker room black, Hispanic, white
This is the 1st time I have listened to it all the way through.
In 1963 my sister and I were playing hide and seek with my father we didn't find him until 1997 - Papa was a Rolling Stone
A great old funky and grooving classic. I have to admit the arrangement is really something. And the interesting thing is the song has hardly actual beat. Beautiful girl, by the way, and the lines you sang sounded good.
I sing this in my head all the time a d yes I love the. Bass to but listen real instruments wow hey our music was great 😊
Greatest intro in music (along with Shaft)!
Where is music like this today? I don't really mean it just to pick today's music, but a song like this is just so well written, crafted and performed. It makes music today almost seem amateur, like very little effort went into it. IDK, maybe I'm too critical or too old.
Much of today’s music is amateur and terrible. unfortunately today’s youth eat it up so I don’t really see it changing
Or maybe you’re just right
love to watch you dance!
What was left of the Funk Bros by 72 laid down an epic track
The musicians , tour arround also, known as the "Funk Brothers" developed a following , and fame of their own...Motown's musicians by almost any standard were some of, if not the best studio musicians in the recording industry., at Motown's heights & glory days.
0:56.That guitar sound you hear was probably Dennis Coffey, he kinda pioneered it and played on other Temptations hits as well. Bass sounds like James Jamerson's 1-finger method for sure--played at Motown from 60 to 73. Other great hits by the Tempts during that " Psychedelic Era" are Cloud Nine, Psychedlic Shack and Ball of Confusion. I know you'd love ;em as much as this one!
This is not a happy song, but it is great. My favorite is "I Just Wish It Would Rain'
If anyone has watched the HBO series 'Big Little Lies' with Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, the instrumental portion of 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' figures very prominently in the soundtrack of Season 1 Episode 6.
Was also confused at first(when the song came out) A Loan or Alone? Poignant lyrics and beautiful instrumentation.
You must know this!!!
Fathers Day reimagined
Any Motown song is great
I got a request Angela... the song is " Feels so right " by the group Alabama. They have great harmonies.
most maybe don't know this the Temptations kicked out there leed singer and the choreographer and they formed their own Temptations group so there were 2 group's. called The Temptations at the same time. I was in high school when this happened. They both went on Ture, so we had the real Temptations and the Phony Temptations so if you had tickets the 1st thing asked are you seeing the real Temptations. We all thought the voice was the real Ts after seeing the movie several years ago Eddie was added to the group sometime after they started but didn't become famous until after he started singing for them. so the real and the phony were just the opposite? Hope you are just as confused with this note as we were!
I had to do some research to make sure Eddie Kendricks didnt sing vocals in this song as Damon Harris did a great job taking over Kendricks as he went solo. I was hoping James Jamerson played bass in this song but looks as if he didnt. Jamerson is one of the most influential bassists in modern music history. One of his biggest highlights in his career is the opening bass line in The Temptations Number 1 hit 'My Girl'.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃😃
I love your taste of music. How about some Rio Boogie from the early 80’s? Marcos Valle ”Estrelar”. You will dig this happy-go-lucky song about exercise. ❤
Anutha jam from tha past!
