I found this out, earlier. https://celebrityaccess.com/2018/10/25/ ... YrKwsX5iNU He played guitar on The Temptations’ “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” plus recordings for The Jackson 5, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight & The Pips and The Supremes, among others. RIP, "Wah-Wah" Watson. :(

“Wah Wah” Watson left us too soon. If it’s any consolation we can’t say that when he died all he left us was alone. Melvin Ragin left us many powerful tunes, and memories that will last.

Thanks, WWW

. . . and thanks for posting, Paul.

He definitely came up with some cool guitar parts. I think that part he played on "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" was really distinctive.
