ROLKEI

 

The song "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" was originally performed by the Undisputed Truth, a Motown recording act, in 1972. However, it became much better known after a Grammy-award winning cover by the Temptations was issued later the same year.

The Temptations' version of "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" was a much more soulful and dramatic interpretation of the song. It featured David Ruffin's powerful vocals and Paul Riser's lush orchestration. The song became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

So, while the Undisputed Truth were the first to record "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," the Temptations' version is the one that is most famous.

Answer 1

"Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" is a soul song, written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records. It was originally recorded by The Undisputed Truth in 1971 but gained more widespread fame when it was covered by The Temptations in 1972. The version by The Temptations is an epic 12-minute track with an extended instrumental introduction and became one of the group's signature songs.

The song tells the story of a family discussing the life and legacy of their absent father, the "Papa" in the title, who seems to have been a rolling stone, a wanderer or absentee parent. The term "Rolling Stone" is often interpreted as a metaphor for a restless, roaming individual.

The song was a critical and commercial success, winning three Grammy Awards in 1973. It has been covered and sampled by numerous artists in various genres and remains a classic of 1970s soul music.
