Did you know the first recording of 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' gos to SMOKEY ROBENSON AND THE MIRACLES in 1966? Me neither. SMOKEY's still going stong today at 70 years old, by the way.
I always think of the Marvin Gay's 1988 version of 'Grapevine' when I think of this Motown hit of that same year. The song has been recorded many times, by many artists. It was, of course, also recorded in 1967 by GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS, and their version reached #1 on charts in November 1967. Some think that the best version too
MARVIN GAYE's first number one recording was 'I heard It Through The Grapevine', outselling Knight’s version. Lottsa people, like me, think this is the biggest song to come out of Motown. I like it. You? That's all. Jan
