Papa Was A Rollin' Stone (original) - The Undisputed Truth 1972.

Alina Ko

Check out--Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong as a single for Motown act The Undisputed Truth in 1971. This version of "Papa" was released as a single in early 1972, and peaked at number sixty-three on the pop charts and number twenty-four on the R&B charts. Later in 1972, Whitfield, who also produced the song, took "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" and remade it as a twelve-minute record for The Temptations, which was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards in 1973. While the original Undisputed Truth version of the song has been largely forgotten... (info from wiki).Thanks Gerard VM (audio) and Dick R (artwork).

On this day in 1978 {October 8th} "New York Groove" by Ace Frehley entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #87; and 16 weeks later on January 28th, 1979 it peaked at #13 {for 2 weeks} and spent a total of 21 weeks on the Top 100...It was his only Top 100 record as a solo artist; but earlier in 1978 as a member of Kiss, he was on the Top 100 twice with "Shout It Out Load (Live Version of 1976 hit)" and "Rocket Ride"...Ace, born Paul Daniel Frehley, will celebrate his 64th birthday come next April 27th {2015}...

*** ‘Where ever he laid his hat was his home’ ***On this day in 1972 {October 8th} "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by the Temptations entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #83; and on November 26th, 1972 it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and spent 16 weeks on the Top 100...And kind of surprisingly, it only reached #5 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart; but their next four releases all peaked at #1 {"Masterpiece", "Let Your Hair Down", “Happy People", and "Shakey Ground"}...Earlier in 1972 the original version of the song by the Undisputed Truth entered the Top 100 on June 4th at position #76; it stayed on the chart for five weeks and on June 25th, 1972 it peaked at #63 {for 1 week}...

It's from the same family in my opinion: Tamla Motown was hot hot hot at the beginning of the seventies. But this is a real good song!
