 Papa Was a Rollin' Stone  is a psychedelic soul song, written by Motown songwriters Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong as a single for Motown act The Undisputed Truth in 1971. This version of Papa was released as a single in early 1972, and peaked at number 63 on the pop charts and number 24 on the R&B charts. As soon as they finished, the Temptations responded by singing the Tops' hit,  Baby I Need Your Loving 2  . The rap group Run-D.M.C. re-worked and sampled Papa Was A Rollin' Stone for their song Papa Crazy, off their 1988 album Tougher Than Leather.
The song opened 194 Radio City on 21 October 1974. Rolling Stone ranked the song #281 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . The first two lines of the song are sung, not by Wonder, but by Jim Gilstrap and with Lani Groves singing the next two lines. The single version of the song differs from the album version with the addition of horns to the mix.
