Marvin Gaye- I Heard It Through The Grapevine

[LivingDog94]

Awesome. I use to listen to plastic.

[peasah2005]

Brother Marvin Gaye is the greatest soul genuis in the world.

This was a man who was classical and dynamic, because he was pure soul and gospel in the early sixties and then throughout his life he went a different level and that's when he went into disco and the disco fever of Marvin Gaye said it all.

Marvin Gaye was the best ever soul legend and I wish his was still around.

Brother Marvin Gaye is never forgotten.

@MotownMaster Thank you.

Great video! Your version sounds almost exactly the same as the one I have from Tamla Records on 45! (T-54176 release) Thanks for the upload!

[legoguy918]

This song was number 1 on the day I was born in 1968. No wonder I like it so much!

[eddiemurphyfan100]

I love this and the Gladys Knight version. They're both classics!

[lionelvillahermosa]

excellent''

[BorisMacsimovich]

Nice!

[christheone8773]

Believe it or not, this version was recorded BEFORE Gladys Knight & the Pips version - Smokey and the Miracles and the Temptations also recorded notable versions as well!!!

[rodineisilveira]

@christheone8773 Correction: Gladys Knight & The Pips recorded this song in 1967, quite before the Marvin Gaye version. Both recorded by Motown.

[christheone8773]

@rodineisilveira Even another CORRECTION: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' version was recorded FIRST, then Marvin Gaye's version, THEN Gladys Knight and the Pips' version-

[MisterQuebec]

This version is pale compared to this live version:

Motown Master,

This song appeared being played on a Levi's commercial in the 80s.

And it's really a Motown's classic hit!

[BrooklynMouse]

This song stayed at #1 for nine weeks in 1969 and it was later included in the California Raisins commercial where that song "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" was in that commercial. I remember the California Raisins did that song in a TV commercial. It was originally a hit by Gladys Knight & the Pips back in 1967 a year before Marvin's version came out.

[MotownMaster]

lol i love the haters!

[jo3mAnz0]

your seriously a loser

[MotownMaster]

Its was 24 years ago today that Marvin died, and tomorrow he would have been 69, Happy Birthday marvin

[BrooklynMouse]

Marvin would've been 69 tomorrow. He was shot to death on April Fools Day, 1984, and it was killed by his dad.

[MotownMaster]

The west coast pressing plant for Motown decided to use up all the old labels before using the new ones, ive seen a promo copy of the Isley Brother's "Just Ain't Enough Love' in 1969 the Tamla 54182 release

[MotownMaster]

with the globes

[BrooklynMouse]

Thanks for the info, MotownMaster! As I said, I do have the same copy of the same 45 with the "bar" design instead of the globes, just like your copy of the Temptations "Cloud Nine" with the Gordy script logo. Those two are extremely rare.

[Chicago10281]

I once did a original "karaoke" classic of this 1968 Marvin Gaye gem! Why does it still have the "globes" logo?

[BrooklynMouse]

Classic song! Thanks a lot! I do have that song on a 45 with a Tamla bar design which is my copy. But luckily you found an ultra rare copy with the globes.

[mikejaysmith]

Truly a Marvin Gaye Classic!
