"Ball Of Confusion That's What The World Is Today " Is A 1970 Hit Single For The Gordy Motown Label Recorded By The Temptations And Produced By Norman Whitfield.

"Round And Around And Around We Go" The Temptations Sing "where The World's Headed/nobody Knows."

Norman Whitfield's Dramatic Count-In Always Recorded At The Very Start Of A Recording For Synching Purposes Only Was Left In The Mix For This Record. Despite Its Strong Political Themes The Record Consciously Avoids Implying A Definitive Point-Of-View Or A Defiant Stance. This Is Because The Temptations Song "War" Which Norman Whitfield Intended As A Spring 1970 Single Release Was Not Released Due To Motown's Concern The Song's Forward Message Could Alienate More Conservative Listeners. Whitfield Took "War" And Reworked It As A Single For Gordy Solo Artist Edwin Starr For Whom It Became A #1 Hit While He And Lyricist Barrett Strong Wrote The More Subtle "Ball Of Confusion" For The Temptations. When They First Saw The Sheet Music For The Song The Temptations Didn't Think They Would Be Able To Pull Off The Rapid-Fire Delivery Required For The Song. Lead Singer Dennis Edwards Had The Quickest Tongue In The Group And Was Assigned To Deliver The More Difficult Lines In The Song. Eddie Kendricks Was Given A Rare Chance To Sing In A Tenor Voice For His Verses. "Ball Of Confusion" Is Among The Temptations' Most Covered Songs With Versions By The Neville Brothers Tina Turner The Undisputed Truth Love And Rockets Widespread Panic Duran Duran Anthrax Tesla On Real To Reel Among Others.
