Vaya barbarité y que horror las versiones de 3 min o 7 min que la cortan y que lo hacen tan campanchos (las que hay en el Spotify y la mayoría de los sitios).
Y que creo que no recuerdo haberla escuchado entera... Esto es como el Bela Lugosi is Dead de Bauhaus y sus 10 minutacos. Pero lo peor es que te quedas con ganas de más, de meter el loop infinito o ponerte un cañonazo de funk a todo trapo después.

*The Temptations - Papa was a Rollin' Stone ("All Directions" - 1972, versión original del disco de casi 12 minutos)

Es una canción soul, escrita por los compositores de Motown Norman Whitfield y Barrett Strong como un sencillo para el acto de Motown The Undisputed Truth en 1971. Esta versión de "Papa" fue lanzada como sencillo a principios de 1972, y alcanzó el puesto número sesenta y tres en las listas de popularidad y el número veinticuatro en las listas de R&B.
Más tarde, en 1972, Whitfield, quien también produjo la canción, tomó y rehecho como un registro de doce minutos a "Papa Was a Rollin 'Stone" de The Temptations, que fue un número uno en el Billboard Hot 100 y ganó tres premios Grammy en 1973. Mientras que la versión original de Undisputed Truth de la canción ha sido olvidada en gran parte, la versión de la canción de The Temptations ha sido un clásico soul duradero e influyente. Este ocupo el puesto #168 en la lista de Rolling Stone de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos, una de las tres canciones del grupo en la lista. En retrospectiva, Otis Williams de The Temptations considera a "Papá" a ser el último clásico real que el grupo grabó.

Qué pena que no se empiecen o se acaben más sesiones con este temarrazo :tamariz

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.
And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
Well, well
Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, some bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
Ugh
Hey Mama, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills.
Hey Mama, folks say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his life chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.
And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone, lone, lone, lone, alone."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
