I took 53 seconds from 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' by The Temptations - 'Top Of The Pops' - Thursday 25th January 1973.I can't wait for Jimmy Saville to get over his chattin'up the birds business,which he always does & cut straight to the best bit.Lol.

Cherry & Ruth dancing here just blows my mind!.It's so funky & pantastic.

If you want to view the full dance routine;here it is:

Yes this is in my top 10 - love Cherry on the big screen.

Cherry and Ruth are seriously funky-and  somehow this routine doesnt seem so dated as some others.

I love Jimmy's banter, but what a fantastic Pan's People routine. :)

Hi Peter

One of the many beauties of Flick's choreography was the wide variation in how each song was danced to and added special effects.  Very revolutionary in its time and a song that has stood the test of time.
