That was an awesome video...but I have a question for you....have you ever seen a real UFO...you know from another world kind of UFO...do you even believe were being visited and have been for thousands of years? Well I just moved to this awesomely beautiful city in southern Utah, called St George and UFO's are alive and well here...don't believe me?...I filmed them and they are flashing rainbow colors..red, blue,yellow, green, and white, click on my moondawgee moniker under this box to see them.
it was and it is still a classic song today. the guys who wrote the song were quite talented. the song gave a senerio of how confused and depressed the BLACKMAN was in those days (40's, 50's and 60's) in the US. the confused state of mind of the BLACKMAN is still thrivin; drugs gang, and even in politics - Obama.
I was born in a completely different music era, maybe because my parents were busy listening to this kind of music and did not have time to do anything else.... But my papa is a rolling stone... :)
Norman Whitfield assigned Dennis to sing the first verse of the song "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," because in real life, Edwards' own father had died on the third of Sept. It was a BIG fight and eventually cost Norman his job as the group's producer.....DAMN song won best song of the year Grammy, so Norman had the last laugh...I've lived in Detroit all my life, I'm blessed to have had this music from the 60's thru to the 90's...music today NO THANKS !!! Olde School till I die !
sounds like a retro porn tune

The prove that best music is made when people are bored or have to wait.
Now all people have smartphones (so they are never bored), which result bad music.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
