To the beautiful young lady I met in Jacksonville, Florida in 67 from the Franklin Street Baptist church. You wrote the words to this song on a sheet of paper for me. I just returned from Vietnam and we spent some time together. You'll never see this but I haven't forgotten you. I pray that life has been good to you sweet little angel.......Your Sailor, Tony
This song is like the Mona Lisa of pop/soul, every aspect of the arrangement, the vocals are stunning, but there is so much more that makes this amazing.
This song reminds me of white Canadian girl ... when we got liberated from the oppression of apartheid in south Africa..i said snow girl I have to go back home now.. my country needs me,. she. Couldn't take it ...she played this song the whole night ...I still love you snow girl ...combrade B
#MarvinGaye He was a wonderful songwriter in his own right. I used to really enjoy the duets he did with #TammiTerrell. Marvin was the man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🪘🎹🎻🎸🎷🎺💚💛💝💜❤️💖💙
This is my favourite song to blast and sing at the top of my lungs simultaneously. I have no idea how good or bad I sing it but I absolutely love the feeling of singing along to it.
I use to love to line dance to this song. My friends use to set up a soul train and we would take turns to come down the row and dance. Thank you, Marvin Gaye for the great music and memories!
En Valencia ( España ) yo bailaba esta canción en la discoteca en 1970, sonaban los primeros compases y ya salía a la pista rápidamente ,se formaba un corro y dábamos unas patadas hacia delante llevando el compás, que tiempos, yo tenía 18 años y era muy buena bailarina.😊
On this day in Music - 30 Oct 1968 Marvin Gaye released 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' which became his first US No.1 single. It was Marvin's 15th solo hit and also his first UK No.1 single in March 69. Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong in 1966, the single was first recorded by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles as well as Gladys Knight & the Pips.
I am so - so happy to have found Standing in the Shadows of Motown and learn more about the greatest band: The Funk Brothers. Honestly, I didn't know that YT had the documentary for free for "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" until yesterday. This is music that never ends and it never dies... it continues on and on and inspiring new generations. Much respect for Marvin Gaye, RIP 🙏 💐💐💐
I think his "dad", who didn't appreciate or approve of his son's love of soul, was JEALOUS !! In his heart, perhaps he wished he was the one with the talent...ahh but too much time has gone by.
I remember being on a coach with my art college classmates, and hearing what happened to this amazing singer, on the radio. It's still a horrendous tragedy all these decades later. 💔
Have a listen to the tuning. He puts every note exactly where it needs to be, which is a big part of the amazing blues feel on this track. Incredible artistry
According to Google: Called the “the No. 1 purveyor of soul music,” Marvin Gaye is one of the most influential artists to ever record for Motown Records. Gaye helped shape the sound of Motown in the 1960s, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist.
HACE MÁS DE 50 AÑOS BUSCANDO OIR ESTA CANCIÓN, HOY LO HE LOGRADO,, LA OÍA EN ALLÁ POR I968 EN N.Y. SOLIA PONERLA EN UNA BELLONERA Y NO SE PORQUE, PERO SE ME QUEDÓ SEMBRADA EN LA MENTE LA MELODIA, PERO NUNCA RECORDABA EL NOMBRE DEL CANTANTE Y EL TÍTULO, SOLO RECORDABA LA ESTROFA, HONEY, HONEY. ME ENCANTA, JOSÉ TAVERAS
Three popular versions of this song have been recorded. First by Gladys Knight an the Pips who wnet to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967, Marvin whi 1968 took it to #1 for 7 weeks and CCR who went to #11 with it. In everyones humble opinion, who's is thw best?
The best dance song ever, the first few notes and you are moving, my favourite as a teenager, know listening still can't stop myself moving to it, best ever!!
Amazing vocal by Marvin, amazing bass line by James but lordy that orchestration on the strings by Norman are truly a work of art. Ranks right up there with the "Ode To Billie Joe" when it comes to moody, dark strings.
- Marvin Gaye, 1968 (Written by Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong) Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew 'bout your plans to make me blue with some other guy you knew before. Between the two of us guys you know I loved you more. It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday. Don't you know that...I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, Honey yeah. (Heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be mine, Baby Ooh, ooh, ooh) I know a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold inside. Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much to me. You could have told me yourself that you loved someone else. Instead I heard it through the grapevine. Not much more longer would you be mine Oh, I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind.. Honey, honey yeah (Heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be mine, Baby Ooh, ooh, ooh) People say believe half of what you see, Son and none of what you hear. But I can't help being confused if it's true please tell me, dear. Do you plan to let me go for the other guy you loved before? Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine. Not much longer would you be mine Baby, I heard it through the grapevine. Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, Honey, yeah (Heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be mine baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Honey, Honey, I know that you're lettin' me go (yeah, yeah, yeah) Said I heard it through the grapevine Woo oo, heard it through the grapevine..

Hey they're popular for a reason!
I was 16 when Motown found me, Marvin Gaye reached into my Soul and never left.❤
Amen!
This song is like the Mona Lisa of pop/soul, every aspect of the arrangement, the vocals are stunning, but there is so much more that makes this amazing.
One of the timeless classics and a great opening for " the big chill"
This was me and my dad's favorite song. May he rest in peace. He died 5 months ago in a car wreck.
So sorry to hear that

I have no idea how good or bad I sing it but I absolutely love the feeling of singing along to it.
😂😂same here. I know that I can't sing but on this I sound ok to me so I don't care. Absolutely great song. 😂😂
The horns and strings in this are sublime.
RIP Marvin and Tammi. Two incredible singers and performers who died way to young and in such tragic ways. 💔
Hi Maria
They were amazing together.
Marvin was basically 'Singing Jesus', the greatest voice ever recorded
I use to love to line dance to this song. My friends use to set up a soul train and we would take turns to come down the row and dance. Thank you, Marvin Gaye for the great music and memories!

The G.O.A.T
Marvin Gaye was such a talented singer, may he rest in peace amen.
Everyone loved Marvin Gaye, except for his Father!
I think his "dad", who didn't appreciate or approve of his son's love of soul, was JEALOUS !! In his heart, perhaps he wished he was the one with the talent...ahh but too much time has gone by.
I think his father loved Marivn but he hated the drugs especially Cocaine, that Marvin use it 😢😢😢
Pour répondre à "serendavies", moi j'écoute cette musique intemporelle et nous voguons à travers les vagues du naturel et de l'authenticité ❤❤❤
On "The Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list from "The Rolling Stone" magazine, this song was ranked number 119.
Nobody can ever top this
This great song is one of the reasons why Motown was so big!
I remember being on a coach with my art college classmates, and hearing what happened to this amazing singer, on the radio. It's still a horrendous tragedy all these decades later. 💔

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
with some other guy you knew before.
Between the two of us guys
you know I loved you more.
It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday.
Don't you know that...I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, Honey yeah.
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine,
Baby Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself that you loved someone else.
Instead I heard it through the grapevine.
Not much more longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind..
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine,
Baby Ooh, ooh, ooh)
People say believe half of what you see,
Son and none of what you hear.
But I can't help being confused
if it's true please tell me, dear.
Do you plan to let me go
for the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know
I heard it through the grapevine.
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine.
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, Honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine
baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Honey, Honey, I know
that you're lettin' me go (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said I heard it through the grapevine
Woo oo, heard it through the grapevine..
I played this on Soul much soul radio!
Pretty cool isn't it?
Un gran número uno!!!
Love Marvin ❤👏👏👏👍👍😊
