Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast
“I Heard It Through The Grapevine”
This week’s Cat Fight takes the classic Motown tune and spins every charting version of the song from Smokey Robinson & The Miracles original unreleased version to The California Raisins’ 1988 near-miss. In the middle, you’ll find mega-hit versions by Gladys Knight and The Pips and Marvin Gaye. Creedence’s eleven minute version from 1970 was issued as a three minute single in 1976 and just missed hitting the Pop Top 40, while Roger took the tune BACK to #1 on the R&B charts in 1981. Vote for your favorite version of this classic tune.
