This Creedence Clearwater Revival Cover Of “Heard It Through The Grapevine” LIVE Will Really Take You Back!
Although “Heard It Through The Grapevine” is a Marvin Gaye original, John Fogerty was born to sing this song with the southern accent in his deepened soulful voice and wide range of pitch.
Creedence actually included this song on their Cosmos Factory album in the 1970s and played it live at several concerts. Each time the band covered this classic they channeled the great Marvin Gaye and his timeless version.
This song paints a picture of a desperate man that found out his woman has not been faithful and is about to leave him for another man she loved before him.
“Honey, honey yeah. I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine baby.”
This remastered, clear quality sound and video is just what you need to give you that pep in your step, especially coming from CCR.
Fun Fact: This clip was found on 192TV, a popular TV show that plays music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
+ I Heard It Through the Grapevine Lyrics +
‘Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don’t you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I’m just about to lose my mindHoney, honey yeah.
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine babyI know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But these tears I can’t hold inside
Losin’ you would end my life you see
‘Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved some one else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I’m just about to lose my mindHoney, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby
People say believe half of what you see
Son and none of what you hear
But I can’t help but be confused
If it’s true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don’t you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
I’m just about to love my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
