The Temptations chat to I Like Music
"I Like Music because… music is universal. It's understood by everyone and it brings people together." JOE, THE TEMPTATIONS
ILM: Out of these songs (my favourites) Papa Was A Rollin' Stone, Ain't No Mountain High Enough… can you pick one and tell me how it came about/the story behind it?
JOE: Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - I don't think they had any idea that it would be a hit. You don't know really what you want to record, you only hope for it to be a hit. The Tempations had so many songs that people have never heard because they weren't released. Papa Was A Rolling Stone was one of those songs. It was a surprise to everybody that it became such a big hit and one of the recognizable songs to The Temptations.
TERRY: With Papa, according to Otis, they weren't going to record it; they didn't like it. Dennis's father had passed away around that same time.
JOE: Actually on that very day.

Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
