 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.
