The Marvin Gaye version was all about the man's stellar vocals, The Funk Brothers notwithstanding. But the CCR version is all about the music, especially the full on version from the album. And of course John Fogarty's excellent singing.
Smokey Robison & the Miracles did the original version ,Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded an up beat funky version that was released as a single first ,Marvin Gaye had the big pop soul hit & CCR did the definitive rock blues version . A top class song sung by top class artistes .
When I hear this song now, I think raisins, lol. Also check out Run Through the Jungle, Suzie Q, Up Around the Bend, Who'll Stop the Rain, Traveling Band, Lodi, Commotion, Cotton Fields, Green River, Proud Mary. Songs that they have already covered: Fortunate Son, Born on the Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Night Time is the Right Time, Down on the Corner, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, I Put a Spell On You
The California Raisins! Lol. Forgot all about those guys. I would add Midnight Special, Long as I Can See the Light, Hey Tonight, Pagan Baby, Tombstone Shadow... well, I could go on but I'd end up naming every song.
CCR has always been one of my favorite groups. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great. You guys have done a few of there songs already but lots left such as Proud Mary", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through The Jungle", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "I Put A Spell On You", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.
I realy loooove the both of you. I'm an old girl, pushing 60, musiclover to bits, all styles, as long as it good. You seem to appreciate music for what it is. All styles, all timeframes. I truely thank you for that. And, man: you realy enrich yourselfs in the process. Groove on! Deepest symphathy, Nancy, Amsterdam 🎵🤘❤
Never a bad song from them. You should really hear the story of what happened to John Fogarty and how things went bad for him, but he came out good in the end. He got the rights to his music.
Gladys Knight and the Pips first made this song famous (this song has an interesting history) even though they were the second group to record it. Marvin Gaye actually recorded his version just before Gladys Knight, but it wasn't released until a year after her version went number one on the R&B chart. I think this was in the late 60s. But Gaye's version was later hailed as a soul classic and i think it made Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs of all time. Creedence released its rendition of the song in 1970--it was the longest version by far (something like 11 minutes long).
Berry Gordy actually shelved that song twice. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles recorded it first but Berry Gordy did not like their version at all. Then Marvin Gaye recorded it but again Berry Gordy wasn't sold on it and shelved it again. He then gave it to Gladys Knight & the Pips who made it a big hit. Then Marvin Gaye's version was released later on and of course another big hit.
CCR throwing some swamp into Marvin's soul...lol....love both versions of this song. Usually the covers don't come close, but this one was solid as can be. Would've been fun to hear Marvin sing a verse or two with them live : )
@@anneridge9800 Originally written by Whitfield and Strong - for Motown. The CCR version was a little later, and so good, it's an easy mistake to make.
Man, you should have done tbe long version. You don't know what you missed. So, make it up by doing their live version of I put a Spell on You. Its done at Woodstock in '69. Its awesome.
(Procession & The Story in Your Eyes - The Moody Blues.) - When the album came out I was advised to listen to the 1st two songs together as "Procession" sounds like an introduction to "The Story In Your Eyes". - As you can see others thought so too and posted them together. "Procession" takes you around the world in different genres and in time. Then you ROCK to The Story In Your Eyes". - "Procession" puts the mood in Moody Blues.
The both of you do such great reactions to songs that came from my youth, it takes me right back to those days. I thank you for helping me feel young again!
Oh oh yeah CCR rocked that song. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕 gosh I forgot how much I loved that song. Thanks for playing the very talented CCR. Now I know what they sound like without being stoned. 🤩🤪😊
So damn nice🎶🎸🥁 I remember in the early 70's street dances in my neighbourhood, where they would close the street off and pipe in CCR, and other great music! I just love you 2 and your take on this great music of my youth🎶🎶
That was the version they used to play on the radio. I hate it when they cut it like that. This is the short version, you got to check out the long version. Rodger Troutman from Zapp has a pretty good cover song for I Heard it Through the Grapevine. One of my favorite songs to dance to but they had many of them.
John Fogerty is the lead vocalist and the lead guitarist, his brother Tom Fogerty also plays guitar, Stu Cook is bass and Doug Clifford is drums and that's CCR, a band mostly known for their swamp-rock music and the legendary vocals of John Fogerty. You'd be hard pressed to find a bad song by them, I know I haven't heard one. You've barely scratched the surface of what's there, in store for you, if you continue down the rabbit hole. Don't worry, any song you pick by them, you'll love. Here's a list for ya, "Run Through The Jungle", "Commotion", Fortunate Son", "Travelin' Band", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker", "Green River", "Born On The Bayou", "Proud Mary", "Up Around The Bend" and "Who'll Stop The Rain", now that's a lot, but there's still more, of course. This was so freakin' awesome, glad you decided to do CCR's version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", but, maybe you'll try to listen to the longer version of it, there's lots more music involved, really cool.
CCR has been an unending favourite of mine since I heard them play "Bad Moon Rising" back around 1968-69 when I was in grade school. Love me some CRR! 💘👌🎸🎸🎸
The only record album my Dad ever bought me on his own was CCR. My Daddy was really into music, all music, all his life. We had a radio playing all the time when my Dad was home. What a gift to give...not just the CCR album, but the love of music. (PS I'm almost 70!, so this was a LONG time ago!)
@@armadillotoe I know. We were the luckiest generation, without doubt, musically. It's most certainly done it's part in getting me to this age! Cheers!
Marvin had it 1st but didn't record it but Gladys Knight did in 1968 and had a hit with it then Marvin released his version and it went to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100. Then CCR did their version in 1970. At first I was wondering why but after buying Cosmos Factory and listening to it I was impressed.
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" is a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. The first recording of the song to be released was produced by Whitfield for Gladys Knight & the Pips and released as a single in September 1967.
Every time you do CCR I say it; one of my favorites of ALL time. The 60's and 70'. John Fogarty is the goat!!!!! Love watching you groove like we all use to.................and still do along with you..
BJ and Asia are very cool! Asia is very pretty and that smile is infectious. Really like the way both of you interact with each other. Keep the videos coming.
This song is an old Marvin Gaye song from the 60s. CCR did a wonderful job of making it their own yet staying true to the original. I don't think this was the long version. Qite a guitar solo in the longer version. Thanks
When I saw @ time of video I knew you weren't doing the 11 minute version of this song but its all good. I would always frown when anyone would try and cover a Marvin Gaye or even Gladys Knight song, but John Fogerty/Creedence knocked it out the park on this one - best version in my opinion. Absolutely great, like Luther did with The Carpenter's song "Superstar."
uh-oh! time for some schooling. the first version of this song was released by gladys knight and the pips in 1967. she took it to number one. marvin gaye's version was released the following year and also went to number one. if you haven't heard gladys' version, you've got to check it out. stellar!
@@michaelserrurier9392 thank you michael. i stand corrected. the miracles did record it first, but never released it as a single. no wonder i didn't know.
**rubs her arms to ease the goosebumps** Y'all! I'm so glad I live on a somewhat secluded piece of property! My neighbors would *hate* me if I had any! 🤣🤣 It's the subtle things that get me in this one like the way John sings the word "heard." It sounds like "hoyd" to me, almost like a New England accent or something.. But his *vocals?! Fuh-get* about it! Lol! P.L.U.R.R. from Austin! Edited to correct my city. I just moved here *today* & I'm loving every minute of it!
Well there one more version by Gladys Knight and the Pips that will take you to church and raise your spirits. Praise the Lord !! And just let you know Gladys Knight and the Pips have a song with some southern cooking that pops like hot grease in the skillet. Gladys takes it back home to Georgia to tell you the story of how DADDY COULD SWEAR ( I DECLARE ). Both of you like this one. I promise.
you guys would love the documentary "Standing in the shadows of Motown" . its fabulous.....its about all the musicians and how they made the sounds....
The album version rips this single edit to shreds… the guitar solo is truly 🔥… YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE ALBUM VERSION😎
Exactly!
Bingo!
Absolutely !!

Nothing like the extended version
Kind of talked yourself into a circle didn't you? Let's all agree both are excellent! 😎
Can't go wrong with any of those acts. They all brought something great to the song. I prefer CCR personally because of the guitar but I like em all.
If I have to point to my favorite Grapevine it is my very first listen to it and that was the inimitable Gladys Knight and the Pips
This was the radio play version. The full version was about 10 minutes. John Fogerty goes into a guitar jam that is legendary!!
Asia & BJ, for your 10th CCR song, you must do the original "Proud Mary"!!!
I gotta say that it warms my heart how much they're lovin CCR. It gives me hope in a strange way. P.L.U.R.R. from Texas.
Fantastic idea ❤️🤘😎
@@mistymichelle9957 These are our local boys. P.L.U.R.R. from the SF bay area CA.

Yes! Up Around the Bend! My favorite as a little girl at the skating rink. Didn’t want to get caught in the bathroom when that one came on!! 😂
you should research a little. nearly every song you mentioned is an original ccr song, not a cover. including this one.
Should have done the long version of this
You cheated yourselves by doing the short version. The long version is FAR SUPERIOR!!!!!
Finally!!!! FINALLY!!! You guys finally took up my request!!!! Enjoy!!!! Next song is "Long As I Can See The Light" by CCR
Lol, send them the whole song next time.
I wish you requested the album version.
Yes, please. Long As I Can See the Light!.
I love that song

The love you two have for each other shows with every video. It beautiful.. lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸
Oh...you need to hear the 11 minute version. Will knock you out!
Never a bad song from them. You should really hear the story of what happened to John Fogarty and how things went bad for him, but he came out good in the end. He got the rights to his music.
Fogerty
I love seeing Asia getting into music. So adorable.
Extended Versions are 🔥
The extended version of this song on the CCR album Cosmos Factory is awesome
Gladys Knight and the Pips first made this song famous (this song has an interesting history) even though they were the second group to record it. Marvin Gaye actually recorded his version just before Gladys Knight, but it wasn't released until a year after her version went number one on the R&B chart. I think this was in the late 60s.

Then Marvin Gaye's version was released later on and of course another big hit.
Song was written for G. Knight. , he wrote most his songs for the Temptation s
The Miracles never recorded this song. Only Marvin Gaye and Glady’s Knight And The Pips.
This is just a straight groove from beginning to end, even the 11-minute version doesn't get old!!!
His voice just blows your mind , how on earth ?
Missed out on the extended version with the long guitar solo it goes hard heh
CCR throwing some swamp into Marvin's soul...lol....love both versions of this song. Usually the covers don't come close, but this one was solid as can be. Would've been fun to hear Marvin sing a verse or two with them live : )
This is NOT the cover; it's the original!

@@anneridge9800 original recording was by Gladys Knight in 67, Marvin Gaye recording was the next year. CCR then released recording in 1970😉👍
Classic groove this is for sure….honey honeyyy yeahhh❤️Love this old school vibe❤️
Man, you should have done tbe long version. You don't know what you missed. So, make it up by doing their live version of I put a Spell on You. Its done at Woodstock in '69. Its awesome.
Had this album back in the early 70s. Wore it out trying to learn to play guitar. Always brings me back!
Fantastic reaction. You have such great charisma together- really fun to watch you grooving together to such great music.
You got a taste for it now listen to the album version for the full meal deal. It is really worth it.
(Procession & The Story in Your Eyes - The Moody Blues.) - When the album came out I was advised to listen to the 1st two songs together as
"Procession" sounds like an introduction to "The Story In Your Eyes". - As you can see others thought so too and posted them together. "Procession" takes you around the world in different genres and in time. Then you ROCK to The Story In Your Eyes". - "Procession" puts the mood in Moody Blues.
Shout out to the whole band, especially the drummer. He held it down on this one.
The drummer the secret ingredient on this track
The both of you do such great reactions to songs that came from my youth, it takes me right back to those days. I thank you for helping me feel young again!
This is really good , but wait until you hear CCR's version of I Put a spell on you....wow, as been said Fogarty is a BEAST!
Enjoy watching new generations find music from different eras... Keep going... Music was intended to bind us together
I love their music, You guys are such a fun and cute couple.
Oh oh yeah CCR rocked that song. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕 gosh I forgot how much I loved that song. Thanks for playing the very talented CCR. Now I know what they sound like without being stoned. 🤩🤪😊
Their song midnight special is worth listening to ✌️🇭🇲🦘
You 2 MUST do yourselves a HUGE favor and check out the Long Version they did, with the Lead Guitar Solo.

Gotta hear the long version Dude and Dudess, it kills this tiny glimpse of perfection! Oh yeah!
Yes Asia I was grooving to Heard it through the grapevine by creedence Clearwater revival
That band's fingerprint is very recognizable
Every time you do CCR I say it; one of my favorites of ALL time. The 60's and 70'. John Fogarty is the goat!!!!! Love watching you groove like we all use to.................and still do along with you..
John Fogerty is touring this summer - we’re seeing him in Chicago!! 🎵
I was 8 years old way back in the sixties when I fell in love with this band
Still am!
One of my favorite bands
Always one of my faves, altho with CCR, you cant go wrong. But i really love " Porterville", and " ramble tamble"!!!
One of my favorites it's (long as I can see the light ). Worth a listen. They have no bad songs
I grew up listening to CCR, I was so lucky to be born when I was.!!
They were the #1 band in the world in 1969!!
And in 1969, "# 1 band" meant something!
@@debjorgo yea remember those lil bands called the Beatles, the Stones, the Doors, the Who.. CCR is definitely my favorite American band
@@themajicman745 is there any other kind?
@@ericstratton7600 Exactly! The competition was pretty great!
You need to listen to the long version.
CCR is timeless, I can imagine people listening to CCR 100 years from now!
Hell it’s already about 50 years old.
I'm still listening and my 67. I play it for my 2 year old grandson. He likes it.
Oh Asia BJ you have to hear the full version it is so gooood
Love this reaction. So genuine. You cannot but bounce your shoulders when you hear this one.
One of your greatest american band i music history ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As usual you guys did an awesome reaction to this song!! Loved your comments and appreciation for CCR!!
CC
I was hoping this was the Album version with the extended solo and jam. Ya'll need to check it out. Well worth the listen...
This song will forever make me think of the movie The Big Chill. Marvin Gaye version of course. So good.
Needed the long version, killer jam at the end. And thats Fogerty with the long "o" sound
So true!
If just for your ears, need to do the extended version is pure sonic jam, you’ll see!
BJ and Asia are very cool! Asia is very pretty and that smile is infectious. Really like the way both of you interact with each other. Keep the videos coming.

John Fogerty swamp music legend from the Bay Area
They have like an 8 or 9 minute version out there with a longer jam session.
❤ CCR seen in concert many albums ❤❤❤❤
Marvin's version, and Gladys', were smooth and soulful. With CCR and Fogerty, you get the down and dirty.
That baseline!! If you ever get a chance to view the official video, you can see the guys singing and playing. It’s so cool.
John Fogerty had another one of those iconic unmistakable voices, so soulful and bluesy and raspy. CCR sold millions of records in the 70s.
uh-oh! time for some schooling. the first version of this song was released by gladys knight and the pips in 1967. she took it to number one. marvin gaye's version was released the following year and also went to number one. if you haven't heard gladys' version, you've got to check it out. stellar!

The longer version has extra sauce. It's my favorite version of this song. The Kaiser Chiefs did a more recent cover - it's pretty good.
Well there one more version by Gladys Knight and the Pips that will take you to church and raise your spirits. Praise the Lord !!
And just let you know Gladys Knight and the Pips have a song with some southern cooking that pops like hot grease in the skillet. Gladys takes it back home to Georgia to tell you the story of how DADDY COULD SWEAR ( I DECLARE ). Both of you like this one. I promise.
oh yes oh yes !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh no! You did the short version. Still good but the long version is in my top 5 rock songs of all time.
Did you ever see them perform this live yet? EXCELLENT!...Love you guys,a lot. Thanks for being you.
You need to listen to the whole song it’s a seven minute song I believe and it’s outstanding
I love CCR!
Love your reactions and grooving vibes in your reactions. CCR is classic rock in the stratosphere. Rarified stuff!
A lot of soul in that voice
You gotta listen to the extended version, it's amazing!
I love Asia. What a woman. Lucky you, BJ 👍
you guys would love the documentary "Standing in the shadows of Motown" . its fabulous.....its about all the musicians and how they made the sounds....
The 11 minute album version just really grooves, with an amazing guitar solo this barely touches. Hopefully, you come back with the long version.
