Gladys Knight and the Pips "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" My Extended Version!

[@clintfalk]

IT'S THAT BASS LINE! That bass is what moves that song along. Without it, this song would STOP.

[@megaoldskool76]

That bass is BUMPIN!!!!!!🎶

[@AndrewJames91]

It’s Everything that’s why I love these extended all instruments get their shine ✨

[@Metal73Mike]

James Jamerson... this guy is one epic bassist and so influential for evolving the roll of bass in music. FYI He plays with one finger... the only cover versions I've seen on YT so far, are bassists playing "normal" with two fingers, just to keep up with this guy ^^ He played on so many tracks, dozens of nr. 1 tracks. There is this anecdote when they had to drag him out of some bar, drunk as **** and he played the bass line of the track lying on his back in the recording studio, being too drunk to stand upright. The song being "What's going on" by Marvin Gaye (bet you never listen to that song the same haha)

[@hjonm9730]

James Jamerson. Artist and innovator. What motion he gets! Subtle, too. Never in the way of the vocal.

[@broddybounce]

Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.

[@tnl2you]

Wow. Thank you for letting us know.

[@vilin8r]

😢

[@revondacolbert7775]

I had no idea. Love me some Ms Gladys. I so appreciate her and anyone who contributed to her music. Thanks so much!

[@megaoldskool76]

@broddybounce I really miss John! I found out in December of that year and was stunned to my soul. Was thinking of him today and decided to listen to his remixes. May he Rest In Peace.

[@sherrydashiell2408]

Oh no I did not realize that. I subscribed to his channel . Great content enjoy listening to old R&B reminds me of real soul music a term that is not even used today

[@dfcardenas22]

man, I'm mexican american, and I still love this song! this must have been the jam back in 1967!

Gladys Knight and THE PIPS FINEST HOUR.. THIS REMIX IS INCREDIBLE.

It puts me right into 1966. I was four years old at the time.

[@pamelawallace1116]

Best version of this classic

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1968 {Feb. 25th} Gladys Knight & the Pips performed "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Four months earlier on Oct. 21st, 1967 it entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; it peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} & spent 17 weeks on the Top 100 Thirteen months later on Nov. 23rd, 1968 Marvin Gaye entered the Top 100 with it; his version reached #1 {for 7 weeks} Three other versions charted; King Curtis {#83/1968}, CCR {#43/1976} & Roger {#79/1981}

[@horizontoday7874]

55 years ago🎉

[@revondacolbert7775]

Thanks for sharing this music history! I was barely born then (born in November of 1967), but thanks to my mother and father, I grew up with this music. I am grateful that I did.

[@revondacolbert7775]

By the way, CCR also did an amazing cover of this song, if you're a fan of Country/ Blues rock.

[@donnkizz]

Love the acapella opening

[@raystewart6524]

No auto tune just pure talent..this is THE best version of Grapevine.....Gladys Knight..The Empress of Soul..and rightly so In my mind this lady is a whole heap better than Diana Ross...the in fighting at Motown forced a move elsewhere.. Mastermixer Mosogotam..you done it ...AGAIN Sir..

[@harrietlincoln7032]

I LOVE This Version!!! 💖🔥💖

[@davidhubbert9445]

Me too Harriet top tune.

[@robinfrazier4795]

Awesome version

[@cbjrcher1]

The Funk Bros. were on fire when they cut that track. Gladys and the Pips' vocals just added to the magic. This is a true classic.

[@joeyuk2121]

cbjrcher1 sooo true. Amazing on every level like most of there hits. I love how every layer is simple. But together its like a tapestry. Incredible

[@tracyjohnson3394]

My favorite Funk Brothers track! James Jameson on bass ! Earl Van Dyke pounding those keys! That groove was swinging! Timeless rhythmic tempo!

[@captainkeyboard1007]

You just wrote a bookful of truth.

[@seansherrod8725]

RIGHT…?!!? This is my absolute FAVORITE James Jamerson bass line! The FUNK he lays down on this track is UNDISPUTED!!!

[@seansherrod8725]

I wish more people would recognize how the tambourine player takes it to church over the bridge which really uplifts the spirit of the song!!!

[@lonsworth]

Know exactly where I was when Music Powerhouse WABC was playing Gladys Knight & the Pips w this ICONIC TUNE!!

[@bmack2938]

She’s the queen of soul.

[@Wolfsky9]

I watched them do this live in concert-------The Pips------OMG, could they step. ---------Worst of all, they made it look easy. -----------------------wolfSky9, 72 y/o

[@seansherrod8725]

That was all done by my grandfather the late great choreographer Cholly Atkins, thank you for recognizing is Phenomenal work. Although To their credit my uncle William Guest Uncle Edward Patton And Uncle Bubba DID IN FACT make it look EASY!!!

[@williamtilton1652]

this version was released before marvin's...so funky...my favorite to this day

[@guiterry]

One of the greatest tunes ever recorded!!!

[@johnbrocklehurst3570]

Got to give Gladys the edge over our great and wonderful Marvins version.

[@giano56]

so sick of people turning a good thing into an argument

[@anclark2063]

I came to that opinion since I was 12yrs, not long after both had released.

[@harphan]

I bought that record when I was a teenager and I still love it ! great tune and great singer.

[@janeicemariewalker9731]

My favorite female singer of all time ❤

[@onemorething123]

GREAT version!!! I always liked Gladys' rendition a little better than Marvin Gaye's. Every time I hear this version, I can't stop myself from dancing, and her vocals are just amazing.

[@txetxuaguado7318]

The original One ... much to say, enough to my humble opinion...

[@greendesertgoddess]

It's everybody's favorite. Apologies to Marvin Gaye!

[@innocentx-rx6jp]

This is the one.

[@donmartin986]

Bought the 45 at Woolworths in 67 and ( sorry, Marvin ) still my favorite version!

[@lonsworth]

Great example of "Call & Response"...

[@monicabella7894]

GLADYS KNIGHT 💖 The Queen of soul !

[@sherrydashiell2408]

No that’s what’s up 👍🏾 not Aretha not to take anything away from her she can sing but gladys Knight is the real queen of soul

[@texasstardust6010]

....I have to concur ..... When I lived in Vegas a friend of mine lived down the street from her brother( in the same neighborhood) and years earlier I had met her and her brother... they actually came into a place where I worked ,- we did their dry cleaning it was a very high-end dry cleaning place- the nicest people you would ever want to meet ....Real genuine , kind ... it was not an act and her brother ( Bubba ) actually had a barbecue at his house for some of the neighbors and my friend was invited and he took me and they were beautiful, gracious people.... you all have no idea. Impressed and pleased that he and Gldys are still performing on occasion, and he is her Manager.

[@revondacolbert7775]

I agree. Can't nobody do it like Ms Gladys Knight!

How can a 23 year old sing that perfectly???? 👂🏿👁

[@NOV123]

Brutha Dnubian Actually my family is friends with the Knight family for years. She was 22 when she actually recorded this in ‘66. She had turned 23 in May of ‘67. It was just released to radio in ‘67.

[@captainkeyboard1007]

Another fantastic Motown hit fresh from the Soul record label. I love most of Gladys Knight and the Pips' songs. In fact, I hope that all the Pips are alive. They sound better on KZbin.

[@ph1021]

Rest in Peace John Perrone.

[@BikeVermont71]

I don't know who's a better singer Gladys Knight or Aretha Franklin? They totally owned the lyrics they sang.

[@sammyflores6607]

Wow, What a great extended version of this song!. I won a case of Corona beer on a bet about this song about 10 years ago. Me and some friends were watching football but listening to a classic rock X-M station , and the Credence Clearwater version was playing and Sammy Meli said that he likes this version, the original the best. And I told him that John Fogherty didn't write this song, Norman Whitfield from the Motown camp did. He was sure that John wrote it and we debated about it for 20 mins. So I bet him a Quart of Jack Daniels if he was right and a case of Coronas if I was right. So the next week we had football night at my place and we googled it. The Coronas sure tasted good that night. Norman sure made a difference in this world. RIP Brother. Paz Y Amor

[@diane4537]

I was so lucky in I believe June of 1968----I got to see Gladys Knight and the Pips sing this song (I heard it though the Grapevine) live at the Carousel theater in West Covina California! Man were they GREAT! Super GREAT! I also got to see Cab Calloway introduced to the audience during the concert. He was so handsome dressed in a White Tuxedo! Also the great Hugh Masekela was fantastic with his song "Grazing In The Grass "! A fantastic show!
