CCR covered this. It was done by several people before them: The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight. That’s the mark of a great song. Everybody wants to sing it! 😊

THE best version of this song ever. Just love John Fogerty's voice.

“Heard It Through the Grapevine” was released in 1966. It was recorded by several artists as hits. Gladys Knight & the Pips(1967), Marvin Gaye(1968), Smokey Robinson & the Miracles(1966), and CCR who made an 11 minute version in 1970.

Now you are ready for Born on the Bayou and I put a spell on you!

There's more. : ) CCR kills it. Used in a California raisin commercial, it was jokingly called "the raaaiiisin song". Grandma was probably rockin' the Marvin Gaye recording. It's a classic.

Cannot wait for Fortunate Son, Born on the Bayou, and Run Through the Jungle...all bangers

CCR is great. Go down that rabbit hole.

Def need to hear the extended version

OMG I Loovveeeee CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL so much !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was recorded at around 1 AM at Woodstock 1969, that is why it is so dark.., I was there and so close to the stage I could see John Fogerty's Dirt on his boots, hitting 80 now, Woodstock was the Greatest 4 days of my life...This song was GREAT but you really need to hear them sing I Put A Spell On You, also recorded the same night...will blow you away.

Gladys knight and the Pips was the first one to record this song in 1967 then Marvin Gay in 1968

Proud Mary is also great.

You have to react to their "Green River" " Run Through The Jungle" and "Fortunate Son"

Such a great song! CCR has always been one of my favorites. John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. They don't have a bad song! Huge list of hits! "Proud Mary", "I Put A Spell On You", "Fortunate Son", "Down On The Corner", "Green River", "The Midnight Special", "Susie Q", "Born On The Bayou", "Travelin' Band", "Run Through The Jungle", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitchhiker", "Bad Moon Rising" etc.

Best version of this song in my opinion

I think your mom was listening to Marvin Gaye. Great song 🔥

It's a CCR Timeless Classic..Period! ❤

My fave version of this! ♥

CCR, my all time fav band!! Yep I'm old!!

For more of that Southern sound. CCR "Down on the Corner"

This is the best version

Makes me remember my oldest brother who's gone now. He brought this CCR album, Cosmo's Factory, home when it came out in '70. Darn near wore out the turntable!

This song was written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong for Motown, & was 1st released by Gladys Knight & the Pips in '67. CCR's cover was released in '70, & is probably the most recognized version. Thanks for your reaction.

I’m pretty sure Fogerty spells ‘heard’ ‘hoid!’

John the lead singer wrote the song Rollin’ on the river and let Ike and Tina record it and later CCR went into the studio and recorded it .

You really need to hear the extended version of this song.

I loveeee seeing you so excited about CCR! They covered this but it’s definitely a fave! My Nanie (grandmother) LOVED John Fogerty (lead singer). On her deathbed we had a discman CD player playing CCR’s greatest hits and she was tapping her finger along to the beat of these hits as she transitioned to her heavenly home. I will never forget that and years later I saw John Fogerty live from front row and it was magical and emotional!

Marvin Gaye Brother, he did it the best!!❤❤❤

My God you crack me up! I love CCR. They are actually from the town I grew up in!

Check out FORTUNATE SON, Who'll stop The Rain, John Fogerty is on point with vocals 🎶 CCR was amazing 🎉

FANTASTIC

Thank you. I love CCR's version. Having said that Marvin Gaye's version is my absolute favorite.

Love me some CCR...😊love your reactions so much... you make it so fun 😊

My parents and I once argued about what was the best version of this song; My Mom liked Marvin Gaye’s best, Dad (RIP) liked Gladys Knights best, and CCR was my favorite ❤

All I have to say is Yaaassssss!!!!

Orange juice from a grapevine!

you REALLY need to listen to the full length version of this song. John does an amazing guitar solo and you only get a very little taste of it on this version.

You always make me smile watching your reactions. CCR is awesome, they don't have a bad song!!

just for fun check out the claymation version - The California Raisins sing "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" - a Will Vinton production 1:59

Love CCR

This song was first and originally done by Gladys Knight & the Pips [1967]. Many others did this song after them.

I was waiting for you to react to this one😊 love CCR and your reaction to this song🤗✌️ They are legends.

You may have heard the Marvin Gaye's version which was great also but these dudes are awesome also on it.

There's a longer audio version they did where the instrumentals are extended and really shine. I highly recommend listening to it if you get a chance to.

AB. If you get a chance, the longer version is to zone out to🤘❤️ you owe it to yourself

The song was written for Motown records in 1966, It was for Gladys Knight and the Pips. It's been covered by many artists since then. The Pips recorded it as a single in 1967. Marvin Gaye released it in 1968 and CCR released it in 1970. All three of these versions are great, but IMO, I'd have to give it to CCR for the best version of the song, they nailed it. Such a good vibing song.

❤❤❤❤❤

Your Grandmother had great taste in music.💕

The Miracles were the first to record the song in 1966. Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded "Grapevine" 1967. Marvin Gaye version 1968 . CCR's was 1970.

Run through the jungle,next,.thank you Ab

You should do the long version. It has a fantastic instrumental jam.

Brilliant

Dont miss CCR "There's a Bad Moon a risin'"

CCR has so many great songs!

Check out their live version of I put a spell on you.

I love the bass vocal harmony on the verse. In sneaks up like a snake on the grapevine

BEING A 66 YEAR OLD FART I CAN TESTIFY THAT THE ORIGINAL RECORDING OF ANY PARTICULAR SONG IS BY NO MEANS AUTOMATICALLY THE BEST VERSION TO BE RECORDED. AS A MATTER OF FACT MANY TIMES THE BY FAR SUPERIOR RECORDED RENDITION OF MULTIPLE SONGS HAVE BEEN L3LB

DUDE,,,,I loved it when you hummed during the song, you got some chops. hum during born on the bayou,,,, I'm an old f*ck who likes renovation:)

You crack me up! I heard this song when I was about 8 years old--loved the rhythm of it but I didn't understand the words. Mt dad had to explain what "heard ot through the grapevine"meant.😂 Still an awesome song.

If you enjoyed this, check out their many hits....especially I put a spell on you....incredible 😊

I love that this band isn’t even southern but they said “hoid” instead of heard. That’s a sound heard in parts of the south that are known as “nurse words”

I love to come here! You're so much fun!

This is an awesome cover! Love CCR. Love your reaction!

Hit that LOOOoooong version.

Gotta do " Midnight Special" and Fortunate Son.

I believe it was Gladys Night and The Pips who first recorded it in 1967 at Motown Reords it was written by Whitfield and Strong in 1966. Thanks for another great one AB.

My favorite is Traveling Band!

Great to watch you enjoy this version. It is a blast

Great reaction and chair dancing as always AB!❤

I love CCRS music ❤️

The best US original band for ever.miss you CCR

One of the greatest original voices: John Fogarty.

I had this album in 1971 😊I was 14 and a freshman in H.S. ‼️

Best damn channel on KZfaq 😎 Roll on brother 🙌🏻

This is only a few minutes of the complete version. What they did with the long version is what makes their version special. This just makes it sound like other versions.

My momma was a CCR fan so the only version she heard growing up of this song was CCR

Just saw John Fogerty in concert last weekend in VA!! AMAZING! Being in my 30’s, I never thought I’d ever be able to see him sing CCR live!! Dream come true. Nothing like John Fogerty!!

Serious groove

This song has been covered by many great artist in history on music from Marvin Gaye, Gladdis Knight, yo Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Also review Proud Mary!!!

If I'm not mistaken, Marvin Gaye co-wrote this and Gaye, Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded it early on. That may be one of the ones you remember. Gladys kicks it. One of my favorites is this one. Creedence was a phenomenal band. Their Fortunate Son was a symbolic song for our men fighting in VietNam in the 60-70s.Good stuff.

You NEED to do the Marvin Gaye version! I LOVE CCR, and the solo is outstanding. But NOBODY sings it like Marvin!

CCR created their own genre - Swamp Rock !

Fogerty is the greatest front man never to be mentioned in a discussion of the greatest eock and eoll front men. His vocals are incomparable, hes a good guitarist, plays the harmonica, and plays thw saxophone. Hes a one man band if he wants to be, but he has a stellar backing band too. Could yiu hear the extremely low, baritone part in the harmonies? Im not even sure which band member does that but it's too freaking cool.

I adore his voice, especially when he goes deep & raspy 🥰😘🥰he’s not especially good looking, but his voice…the power, emotion & the way he sings, gives him a lot of sex appeal 😆

I don't know who wrote it, but Marvin Gaye did it before these guys. But CCR definitely added a different more swampy southern vibe to it.

Should have done the extended version, so good

Grandma prolly played the Marvin Gaye version. That has always been my favorite. Well, that and the California Raisins.

The long version is scary good !!

If you like the short version at 3 minutes 53 seconds you will Love the long version it is a real jam session , It's 11 minutes 5 seconds of pure joy ..

This is actually the short version of the song. The album version is over 8 minutes long.

As a fan of ALL kinds of music CCR sits pretty high up there 🖤soooo many great songs 🤤all just real shit

😅 I sure would love to just hang out with you. You're reactions are priceless 😂🎶🎵🫶

They did several live performances on American Bandstand with Dick Clark, I think. I know the Guess Who did- that's another band you need to check out! Love 60s and 70s rock- sing and dance along when you hear it.

Please react to them singing Proud Mary. John Foggerty wrote it, its amazing.

I do not know who performed this song first and do not care. This cover is the best. That is all that matters.

Marvin Gaye was probably the version you first heard. That's the first version I heard.

Love you so much AB! Keep talking to us lightly! Can I offer you some orange juice?

It never hurts to do a little research before your reaction. Many will already know what you find out, but there are always others who don't know and will appreciate the addition to your reaction. This song was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown. Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded the song first, and it's great. The Miracles recorded it next (I've never heard that version), then Marvin Gaye, who had the biggest hit with the song. After that, CCR did their extended version (you've got the short version here, big mistake), and lastly, as far as I know, The California Raisins. Gladys, Marvin, CCR, and the Raisins all had big hits with this song, that's how good the song is and how good each of these artists were. I highly recommend you do a reaction to all of these artists, maybe even back to back? Watch the video with The California Raisins, I promise you'll be rollin'.

I used to have this on 8-track way back when and the complete version was so long that it would change tracks in the middle of the song. The complete version is 100% better.
