"Papa Was A Rollin' Stone" was written by Motown songwriters Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong as a single for The Undisputed Truth in 1971. Their version peaked at #24 on the R&B charts and #63 on the pop charts. In 1972 Whitfield remade the song as a 12-minute epic for The Temptations. It would top the charts, win 3 Grammy Awards and become an influential R&B classic.
