......'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong, the house songwriters for Motown Records. Gladys Knight and The Pips released the 1st version in 1967 and it reached #2 on the the Billboard national chart and #1 on the R&B charts. Her version KILLS on contact !!!!

[@paulkeahtigh2]

I totally agree 😎👍

[@unclephil7650]

Actually Smokey Robinson and the miracles released it first but never as a single. It was off of one of their albums about a year before Gladys released her version

[@LaserRanger15]

Totally agree...her's is my favorite version of this great song.

[@maskedavenger2578]

Agreed Gladys & the pips version is the best ,especially when preformed live . Gladys & the pips were treated as second streamers by B Gordy at Motown & never got the recognition they deserved . I was not surprised when they went on to bigger & better things at Buddha records in the 1970 ‘s .

I grew up on the great music of the 60's-70's. CCR has always been one of my favorites. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great - "Proud Mary", "Born On The Bayou", "Bad Moon Rising", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through The Jungle", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "I Put A Spell On You", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.

[@patrickupstream84]

This song was originally done by Gladys Night and the Pips. Has a faster tempo and some more call and response to it. Excellent version. Then Marvin Gaye's version so soulful and probably the most well known version. And then CCR. Your reaction was spot on. The band made it their own. This video you reacted to is a cut version of what was on the album. The full cut goes into this John Fogerty guitar jam that takes you to a whole new place and then comes back to the song. Do yourself a favor and listen to that version. All versions are great though.

[@johnroberts5637]

I was a huge fan of CCR when all this music first came out, and giving it a relisten on various reaction channels I have come to a whole new appreciation of their musicianship. I guess my young ears could appreciate the music, but were not yet sophisticated enough to appreciate each musician's contribution to the sound. Stu Cook was killing it on bass, and coupled with Doug Clifford's drumming, they made for a very solid rhythm section. John Fogerty was one of the most memorable and easily recognized rock and roll front men at the time, and one of the most talented. He's also still out there doing it, and still sounds great. CCR was my first favorite band, and my first album was "Cosmo's Factory", which I still own, and from which this single was released. Thanks for the memories, y'all.
