notes:

"Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" is a song originally performed by Motown
recording act the Undisputed Truth in 1972, though it became much
better known after a Grammy-award winning cover by the Temptations
was issued later the same year. This latter version of the song became
a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" was written by Norman Whitfield and
Barrett Strong in 1971. Whitfield produced the original
Undisputed Truth version, which was released as a single in May 1972
