this song has a very strong 60s vibe, you can tell the culture was beginning to spread across the country

With only Otis Williams dating back to the group's most famous hits, "The Temptations" is more a concept or a lineage than the actual aggregation that had chart success throughout the '60s and '70s. But while other historical bands have only tenuous connections to their ancestry (and careers that simply retread past glories), the Temptations are still quite vital and creative. Their first album for New Door covered hits that had been recorded by other Motown artists; this ... MORE

After posting the Dramatics I had to do one on the Temptations. This was the last Norman Whitfield Production for them.This was the follow up to Papa was a rolling stone, It has got to be the longest Temptation song.You can't mention the Tempts without talking about the Four Tops, Here is one of my favorite memories of them together that I just found.

Possibly one of the funkiest tracks the Temptations ever did. Even though this situation never happened to me, I can't get past that the line "When he died, all he left us was alone" is one of the best lyrics ever written into a pop song.

Well since i haven't posted anything for a theme day yet and i listened to this song about 10 times in a row yesterday I decided to share 2 versions of it with you.
First the original by the temptations
And second, the band who got me into this music again.
This is the Josh Dion Band playing Papa Was a Rollin' Stone in NYC a few months ago.

A hidden gem in the Temptations catalogue. Came across a couple of copies of this album in a French second hand vinyl shop. Produced by Norman Whitfield, the album sounds similar to the immense Masterpiece in many respects, but is still strong enough to stand up by itself.
The album cover gives you that trippy feel along the way too...

Well, this is the third Temptations album I have posted about. Got to say something about my love for this group. This album is breathtaking. Starts with Funku Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On, which is one of the best starts to any album. Then the social statement in Run Charlie Run, followed by 11:45 of the epic Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Over to side 2, we are taken on a four track journey of more music perfection. I just keep coming back to this album again and again. Not... MORE

One of my favourite groups of all time has to be The Temptations. Album after album, whether is was Smokey Robinson or Norman Whitfield at the helm, this group made some of my favourite music. Whilst a lot of focus is rightly placed on Cloud Nine or Masterpiece, I also like this album too. Aside from the crafty cover, the music is top notch. With members of The Commodores and P-Funk in the sessions, it makes it a necessary listen. My choice track has to be The Prophet. ... MORE
