Wow. What a fantastic version. The two (non-CCR) originators of the "great" versions of the song collaborating to create an even greater version. Magic.
You do know that Marvin started out singing in groups before he became a solo artist. He was in a group in his hometown DC called "The Rainbows" in high school. He got to Motown because he was a member of a later version of Harvey Fuqua's "Moonglows."
Everybody forgets that Marvin was a group singer before he became a solo artist. Marvin was in a DC group in high school called "The Rainbows" and later was in the Moonglows with his mentor Harvey Fuqua.
Wow, what a treat to see this, fabulous quality too. Gladys and Marvin together, their wonderful voices complimenting each other. Thank you so much for posting 😊
@stedebassett1523: Marvin, Gladys and the Pips were pretty close friends. Marvin had a hit record in 1968 called “CHAINED” which Gladys and the Pips sang backup on. They just were in the studio when Marvin was recording hanging out and decided they wanted to do background vocals with no credit.
@@BvBvoTwuTV My Uncle was close with Harvey Fuqua and Gladys Knight. They sang on the same circuits from NYC to the South. Thank you for sharing that information.
Dos grandes interpretes de la música del alma juntos, hacen un gran dúo, gracias por compartir el video y recordar al gran Marvin Gaye. Saludos desde Costa Rica.
How can you not love this historical gem of Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight and The Pips. Thank God for the Internet and our ability to see these classic performances forever. #PLEASeSHARE
The story is that Marvin's version was done first, but Berry Gordy didn't want to release it and kept in the can. The Miracles did the first released version of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" on a 1967 album. Gladys and The Pips had their hit 1968 version. After that, Berry Gordy changed his mind and released Marvin's 1969 version. It stayed the biggest selling single in Motown history until Diana Ross & Lionel Richie's "Endless Love" in 1981.

@BvBvoTwuTV thanks for sharing that. Gladys version was the only one that was instilled in my brain as a little child when it came out. Plus, I liked the up tempo better.

First time i see/ hear such Young Gladys. And what a performance ! A duet with Marvin ❤
Yeah, Gladys was young once and will be 80 this year!
One of the great things about this video is that even Marvin wanted to be a Pip as well.

@@BvBvoTwuTVYes, the point was in those days us boys thought being a Pip would be one of the coolest things in the world.

When Marvin fell in with Pips, I died.
Everybody forgets that Marvin was a group singer before he became a solo artist. Marvin was in a DC group in high school called "The Rainbows" and later was in the Moonglows with his mentor Harvey Fuqua.

You are so very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing these two great Motown acts perform their mutual hit song together.
I got to see them in the 70s. I'm glad i had this great opportunity.❤
It was a blessed time for great music in the 1970s.
You can tell Marvin was really enjoying it.

You're so right!
Gladys is my all time favorite but Marvin’s version is the clear winner

Berry Gordy, the Ear, knew why. I also prefer the original by Gladys Knight.
Awesome
SUPER AWESOME!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YES!!!!
Bought both of their 45s of this record when I was a kid
And I know both them songs still stand the test of time because NOBODY SINGS THAT DAMN GOOD TODAY!
I love UA-cam
Me too cause all the great TV shows you might have never seen show up on UA-cam.
VERDADEROS TALENTOS 😘😘😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😃😃😃😃😃
YES!!!!
Who knew eh? ❤
You're so right!
I was expecting Marvin to have a deep voice for some reason. the tenor voice really threw me off there for a seconf.
Marvin sang tenor - falsetto.
Did these two ever date? Would have made a power couple, and he'd probably still be alive.
Nope, Gladys and Marvin never dated. They were just friends.
これはまた珍しいデュエットですねえ シンガーとしては1流同士でもあんまり相性は良くないみたい。タミーとはちがうのかな
Yes, it's different. Tammi was Tammi, and Gladys sang this song first, then Marvin.

あなたの翻訳機がYESIT'SDifferent 全然意味が違う
Gaye can't wait to cut lose.
Marvin, Gladys and the Pips were actually great friends. They sang backup on Marvin's 1968 single "Chained," but they aren't credited.
Temps and Supremes did background too on songs.@@BvBvoTwuTV
Gladys better stop looking like that
@cwilson2012 “Yeah, I noticed Gladys doing that look too!”🤣
And he couldn't really be dance that's funny
@cherylcummings5996 “You’re right, Marvin couldn’t dance, but he wasn’t really as bad onstage as he thought he was. Yeah, Marvin was no James Brown, but who was. Plus, Marvin started out singing in do-wop groups like the Moonglows, so doing those backup steps with the Pips was pretty easy for him.
