Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone was first released by a Motown group called The Undisputed Truth in 1972. The first version of the song peaked at number 63 of the pop charts and 23 on the R&B Charts. A subsequent cover by The Temptations was much more successful, peaking at number one in 1972. The song would go on to be interpreted by everyone from Michael Jackson to George Michael to Was (Not Was).
In this video, Slash and Demi Lovato become the latest artists to cover this classic song.
