So first I wanted to say, thank you Bob for playing my request for the version of "I Heard It Through the Grape Vine" by Gladys Knight and the Pips. Secondly, admitingly, I never heard the version of the song Gladys Knight did with the Temptations, I never even knew that Gladys Knight did another version with the Temptations until tonight. But I digged her version with the temps just as much as I did with her popular hit version with the Pips. The only other versions other than Gladys and Pips' version that I definitely do know of are the ones by Credence Clearwater Revival and the one by Marvin Gaye. Those are equally my favorite versions as well. I think I did hear the version some time a while back done by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I dig all the versions of that song equally. With the style that each artist/group that covered the song of their own differently from one another. All the different styles simply work and fit well from each artist/group's take.
