FIRST TIME listening to THE TEMPTATIONS - "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" REACTION
Yes, I know I'm a couple of hours early, but I have a couple of things on the schedule bright and early in the morning.
I saw this "first reaction" video and I thought it was entertaining to watch someone young enough to be my granddaughter experience the song for the first time.
Listened to it a couple of times earlier with headphones and the separation of the horns and bass guitar were still amazing!
I'm sure we geezers will enjoy hearing this song from our youths again when we were all just whipper snappers. (LOL!) Hard to believe it's been 54 years.
And for everyone who prefers a different Youtube version, Pick One

Great intro. Right up there with Lou Reed’s Sweet Jane, Mellenkamp’s I need a Lover and Theme from Shaft.
Any others?
Had a new babysitter the night the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan.
She screamed the whole time at the TV while I was thinking my parents were idiots for hiring a lunatic!
I saw Isaac Hayes in concert sing “Shaft” in ‘72 or ‘73.
Introduction - Chicago T A
Time Waits for Noone - Stones
Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
Autobahn - Kraftwerk
“Lou Reed’s Sweet Jane”
*Nothing* beats the intro to the live version of that song.
Billy Joel - Prelude / Angry Young Man
Drum/bass intro: The Game of Love - Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders
Britain declared war on Germany, September 3rd 1939.
I remember when that was Top 40!...............
I bought that album!............
“””Had a new babysitter the night the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan.”””
My neighbor helped set that up. He was big in the music business for decades.
Great music!
Thanks for posting!
