“It was the third of September”, of 2013, that I became debt-free (in only
six months! — I owed 4K+ in credit card debt just four years earlier).
Yes, this song has become a true icon for me; an inspiration indeed! o:-)?

Love this song?
The Temptations – Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone
This is arguably one of the best records Motown ever made, at least in my
opinion. You can listen to modern radio all day and never hear anything as
good. The production and vocals are stellar and the emotion is genuine. And
I especially like how they let the beat ride in the beginning…great music
for nearly two minutes before the first word was spoken. A real classic
tune.

Keep your Big Time Rush. Let’s have us some of this instead.
@EAG1015 Maybe your daughter does. For me, it was the very first
Temptations song I ever heard.
God I love Melvin Franklin! <3
I was just a kid listening to Motown & the R & B scene from S.F. Ca. & all
I remember was the incredible smoothness of it all…the GREAT vocal
quality from that small AM/FM radio, trying to sing along & having my Mom
teaching me to dance while watching Soul Train…she was an inner city kid
too…wonderful memories
no school like the old school
This would make a great song to ice skate to!
Simple, yet holds your attention. Lots happening, great sounds!
My heart skips a beat whenever the word Temptation is said………….we
will never see the like again….
HOW MANY GOAT MAN SALUTATION
This is so cool…
Who dares to dislike this!?
CLASSIC DETROIT MUSIC BABY!!
great music of my school days….!!!
@AllRequired My daughter was watching BigTime Rush last night and all their
music was remakes of Beatles tunes! They can’t even do their own music!
I remember, old school for sure. nothing compares to the old school
….soul brutha you know what. With all this bling bling punk shit out
know…..We might have been crude, but we was real!!! Proud to live in the
day, and glad to die when it’s my time!!

@AllRequired Actually, my daughter likes this kind of music, as well as Big
Time Rush. Her taste in music is pretty varied.
