Title: Papa Was a Rolling Stone
Post by: Lyndon on 1 Sep 2010, 01:33 pm

It is probably just my ears, but the last song on the 2010 remake of the movie 'Death At a Funeral' as the credits roll by is the Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone".
It sounds just fantastic on multi-channel format.  I dug out my cd copy, and tried my best to A/B it, and the one on the blu-ray just smoked it.  I am not processing the newest HD audio formats (Dolby True HD and DTS MA), and was wondering if anyone else noticed this on other recordings?

On a side note, David Lindley's reggae version is also grand!

The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Smokie Robinson and the Miracles, Marvin Gaye... all made a HUGE impact!

Poppa was a Rolling Stone is definately a classic and regardless of playback media I find it hard to listen without wanting to keep turning the volume up and up and up :thumb:

Same for when I come across Benny Goodman on the radio doing Sing, Sing, Sing Live at Carnegie.... Gene Krupa beating the hell out of the skins!  AWESOME :thumb:
