Legendary funk/jazz guitarist Dennis Coffey made his debut with Motown's Funk Brothers by playing the distinctive wah-wah part on the Temptation's "Papa Was a Rolling Stone". He has played with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, The Four Tops, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and George Clinton among others.
