September 28th, 1972 - The day The Temptations released “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” as a single
⁣⁣
This song was written by the Motown songwriters Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield, and it’s centered around the ideology that a rolling stone may gather no moss, but it doesn’t handle responsibility well. Now, that idea is turned into the main emphasis of this song, which is that the father is an itinerant, disreputable philanderer. When he dies, the mother opens up about him, telling the kids all about his laziness and womanizing.⁣ Originally, the single comprised an unprecedented length of 11:46, which was divided into two parts. The single was released with the song split into two parts: the A-side was the “vocal” version and runs 6:58; the B-side is the “instrumental” and goes 4:49. Despite its length, the A-side was exceptionally long and remains one of the longest chart-toppers in Hot 100 history. ⁣

Speaking about this song’s writer/producer Norman Whitfield in a 1995 interview with Goldmine, Motown head Berry Gordy said: “He could take one chord, like on ‘Papa Was A Rolling Stone,’ and play the same chord and do all these different beautiful melodies and stuff that many people could not really imagine this guy doin’. And I would watch him and he did it all by himself as a producer. He would work with five guys in the Temps and he would change leads on each one. He would pick the right lead for the right song, ya know, and he’d utilize all five of those leads in a song that was just incredible. When I listen to ‘em today, now that I have time to listen to ‘em, I’m saying, “Wow! This guy was probably the most underrated producer we had.”⁣
