LOVE this episode.
Naturally, to make your life miserable, I should note:
Papa Was a Rolling Stone was recorded by Undisputed Truth in 1971, but it was released in early 1972; hit the charts on 6/10/1972, getting all the way to #63; the Temps charted on 10//14/1972, and of course went to #1 on 12/2. Also, your reference of songwriters “Barrett & Whitfield”- the former is Barrett Strong (who was the original singer on Berry Gordy’s “Money”, BTW), who wrote with late producer Norman Whitfield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Was_a_Rollin'_Stone
The Temptations! Yay.
