Miracles The first known recording is with the Miracles on August 6, 1966, though there may also have been a recording with the Isley Brothers, or at least Whitfield intended to record it with them; however, a track has not turned up – some Motown historians believe that a session may have been scheduled but cancelled.WEB,weblink BBC Music: Stories Behind the Song: "I Heard it Through the Grapevine", Ralph McLean, BBC.co.uk, April 2003, September 15, 2012, Motown: The History, page 56, Sharon Davis, Gullane, 1988WEB, Gladys Knight and the Pips – 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine', The Daily Record, Joel Francis, September 9, 2009,weblink February 1, 2010,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20090925012345weblink">weblink September 25, 2009, dead, The Miracles' version was not released as a single due to Berry Gordy's veto during Motown's weekly quality control meetings. Gordy advised Whitfield and Strong to create a stronger single. The Miracles version later appeared on their 1968 Special Occasion album, and a slightly different take, possibly from the same session but unreleased, appeared on the 1998 compilation album, Motown Sings Motown Treasures.BOOK,weblink Sounding Out Pop: Analytical Essays in Popular Music, 92, John Covach, Mark Spicer, University of Michigan Press, June 22, 2010, 978-0472034000, September 16, 2012, Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye's version, released on his 1968 album In the Groove, is the second known recording. Whitfield recorded the song with Gaye over five sessions, the first on February 3, 1967, and the last on April 10, 1967.BOOK,weblink Turn the Beat Around: The Secret History of Disco, 122–124, Peter Shapiro, Macmillan, 2006, 9780865479524, September 18, 2012, WEB,weblink Marvin Gaye Session Dates, Soulfuldetroit.com, 2010, September 18, 2012, Recordings of this version took more than a month due to Whitfield overdubbing Gaye's vocals with that of the Andantes' background vocals, mixing in several tracks featuring the Funk Brothers on the rhythm track, and adding the string section from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with an arrangement by Paul Riser.The session featuring Gaye led to an argument between the producer and singer. Whitfield wanted Gaye to perform the song in a higher key than his normal range, a move that had worked on David Ruffin during the recording of the Temptations' hit, "Ain't Too Proud to Beg". The mixture of Gaye's raspy vocals and the Andantes' sweeter harmonies made Whitfield confident that he had a hit; however, despite approval from Motown's Quality Control Department, Gordy blocked the release.BOOK, Motown: Music, Money, Sex, and Power,weblink Gerald Posner, 224–225, Random House, 2002, 0-8129-7468-9, August 23, 2018, Gladys Knight & the Pips Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded "Grapevine" on June 17, 1967, in Motown's Studio A, also with Norman Whitfield as producer. After hearing Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect", Whitfield rearranged "Grapevine" to include some of the funk elements of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. According to David Ritz, Whitfield set to record a song that would "out-funk" Aretha. After Whitfield presented the demo tapes, Gladys Knight, Bubba Knight, William Guest, and Edward Patten worked for several weeks on their vocal arrangement. To make the song suitable for Gladys, the first line of the second verse ("I know a man ain't supposed to cry/But these tears I can't hold inside") was altered to ("Take a good look at these tears in my eyes/Baby, these tears I can't hold inside"). After much talk, Gordy reluctantly allowed the Pips' version to be a single on September 28, 1967, on Motown's Soul label. Other Motown artists In 1968, Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers recorded a version for their debut album based on Knight's recent hit. But after hearing the Marvin Gaye version, they felt they had made the wrong choice.BOOK,weblink Motown: The Golden Years, Bill Dahl, 318, Krause Publications, February 28, 2011, 9781440227837, September 15, 2012, In 1969, Whitfield produced a version for the Temptations "psychedelic soul" album, Cloud Nine, in which he "brought compelling percussion to the fore, and relegated the piano well into the wings".WEB,weblink Cloud Nine – The Temptations, Amy Hanson, allmusic.com, 2012, September 18, 2012, In 1971, the Undisputed Truth recorded the song in a Gaye-styled version.WEB,weblink The best Undisputed Truth Songs, Jackson, Ashawnta, August 1, 2022, January 11, 2023, udiscovermusic.com, Releases Since both the Miracles' and Marvin Gaye's renditions of the song were rejected by Gordy as a single, Gladys Knight & the Pips' version became the first to be released, on September 28, 1967, on Motown's Soul label, with "It's Time to Go Now" on the B-side. Motown put little support behind it and the Pips relied on connections with DJs across the United States to get the record played. The Pips' version of "Grapevine" reached number one on the Billboard R&B chart on November 25, 1967, and stayed there for six weeks, making it the group's second R&B number one after 1961's "Every Beat of My Heart". It reached number two on the Billboard Pop Singles chart the same month,BOOK, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles: 1942–2004, Joel Whitburn, Joel Whitburn, 2004, Record Research, 330, with the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" holding top spot. It was Motown's best-selling single to that point, remaining in the top 10 of the Hot 100 for nearly two months. The song was later placed on the Gladys Knight & the Pips album Everybody Needs Love.After this success Whitfield again wanted Gordy to release Gaye's "Grapevine" as a single, but Gordy did not want to release another version after the Pips had already made a hit out of it. In August 1968, Whitfield added "Grapevine" to Gaye's new album In the Groove. On release "Grapevine" became a radio hit and, according to Gordy himself, "The DJs played it so much off the album that we had to release it as a single".BOOK,weblink To Be Loved: The Music, the Magic, the Memories of Motown, Berry Gordy, Berry Gordy, 275, Grand Central Pub., December 1, 1995, 0472034006, September 24, 2012, So Gaye's version was released as a single on October 30, 1968. Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" eventually outsold the Pips', and until The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" 20 months later, was the biggest hit single of all time on the Motown label.

The label was pleased with the success, although Gaye, depressed because of issues such as the illness of singing partner Tammi Terrell (which would kill her less than a year later), was quoted as saying that his success "didn't seem real" and that he "didn't deserve it". Cash Box said of it that "tremendous percussion and a brilliant production job add even more luster to a terrific vocal."MAGAZINE, CashBox Record Reviews, November 9, 1968, 24, January 12, 2022,weblink Cash Box, Due to the song's success, In the Groove was re-issued as I Heard It Through the Grapevine and peaked at number two on the R&B album chart and number sixty-three on the album chart, which was at the time Marvin's highest-charted solo studio effort to date. Because of the success of both versions, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" was the first and last number one on the Billboard R&B chart in 1968: the Pips version was the first week of January, the Gaye version the last week of December. Gladys Knight was not pleased that Gaye's version usurped her own, and claimed that Gaye's version was recorded over an instrumental track Whitfield had prepared for a Pips song, an allegation Gaye denied.INTERVIEW, BBC Radio 2, Marvin Gaye, Paul Gambaccini, 1976 interview with Marvin Gaye, 1976,weblink September 24, 2012, In 1985, one year following Gaye's death, the song was re-released in the UK reaching number eight thanks to a Levi's commercial (starring Nick Kamen).
