A monster album, the one that put them back in the spotlight and signaled that {|Norman Whitfield|} had saved the day. {|Damon Harris|} had replaced {|Eddie Kendricks|}, and there were many doubters convinced the band was finished. Instead, {|Whitfield|} revitalized them via the majestic single, {|Papa Was a Rollin' Stone.|} Despite its length, {|Whitfield|}'s decision to open with an extensive, multi-layered musical suite and tease listeners was a master stroke. By the time {|Dennis Edwards|}' voice came rushing in, no one would dare turn it off. The single, as well as {|Law of the Land|} and others, ended the funeral arrangements that had been prepared for {|the Temptations|}. ~ Ron Wynn Less
