Trumpet reverb.

The tight vocal harmonies are what lift the Temps' onto another level.

Deep voice.

Mind you this does seem to a pointless excise, we all know exactly what it'll sound like when it kicks in.

I've always thought that although Papa may have been a rollin' stone, at least he left them a loan.

Handclaps.

I mean, he could've just gone and left them with nothing.

by Nightjar Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:45 pm

I suppose the loan could've come with all sorts of terrible caveats.

Perhaps the loan was taken on by a particularly callous, vicious loan shark?

In that case Papa was a snuggle rumpusing nookie tub.

High-pitched voice.

by Guest Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:46 pm

Maybe they owed on the loan. As he he's died and left them owning money. a negative inheritance if you will.

Track 4 - Love Woke Me Up This Morning.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:48 pm

By Ashford and Simpson.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:48 pm

I've heard this before, by somebody else.

by Nightjar Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:48 pm

This whole album has Norman Whitfield's all encompassing hands all over it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:49 pm

Vocals are too high.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:50 pm

Vocals are getting higher. llama

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:50 pm

Track 5 - I Ain't Got Nothin'.

by Guest Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:50 pm

This is great, but it's so boring…. Every little violin fill is so clichéd, I've just heard everything so many times before.

Which is grossly unfair, as this is probably what wrote half the cliches. It's a song I've half heard so many times, I don't need to actually listen to it.

That's Papa Was A Rollin' Stone, I'm droning on about.
