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.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
