To the beautiful young lady I met in Jacksonville, Florida in 67 from the Franklin Street Baptist church. You wrote the words to this song on a sheet of paper for me. I just returned from Vietnam and we spent some time together. You'll never see this but I haven't forgotten you. I pray that life has been good to you sweet little angel.......Your Sailor, Tony
This song is like the Mona Lisa of pop/soul, every aspect of the arrangement, the vocals are stunning, but there is so much more that makes this amazing.
This is my favourite song to blast and sing at the top of my lungs simultaneously. I have no idea how good or bad I sing it but I absolutely love the feeling of singing along to it.
I am so - so happy to have found Standing in the Shadows of Motown and learn more about the greatest band: The Funk Brothers. Honestly, I didn't know that YT had the documentary for free for "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" until yesterday. This is music that never ends and it never dies... it continues on and on and inspiring new generations. Much respect for Marvin Gaye, RIP 🙏 💐💐💐
I use to love to line dance to this song. My friends use to set up a soul train and we would take turns to come down the row and dance. Thank you, Marvin Gaye for the great music and memories!
En Valencia ( España ) yo bailaba esta canción en la discoteca en 1970, sonaban los primeros compases y ya salía a la pista rápidamente ,se formaba un corro y dábamos unas patadas hacia delante llevando el compás, que tiempos, yo tenía 18 años y era muy buena bailarina.😊
This song reminds me of white Canadian girl ... when we got liberated from the oppression of apartheid in south Africa..i said snow girl I have to go back home now.. my country needs me,. she. Couldn't take it ...she played this song the whole night ...I still love you snow girl ...combrade B
On this day in Music - 30 Oct 1968 Marvin Gaye released 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' which became his first US No.1 single. It was Marvin's 15th solo hit and also his first UK No.1 single in March 69. Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong in 1966, the single was first recorded by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles as well as Gladys Knight & the Pips.
I think his "dad", who didn't appreciate or approve of his son's love of soul, was JEALOUS !! In his heart, perhaps he wished he was the one with the talent...ahh but too much time has gone by.
Have a listen to the tuning. He puts every note exactly where it needs to be, which is a big part of the amazing blues feel on this track. Incredible artistry
I remember being on a coach with my art college classmates, and hearing what happened to this amazing singer, on the radio. It's still a horrendous tragedy all these decades later. 💔
#MarvinGaye He was a wonderful songwriter in his own right. I used to really enjoy the duets he did with #TammiTerrell. Marvin was the man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🪘🎹🎻🎸🎷🎺💚💛💝💜❤️💖💙
The best dance song ever, the first few notes and you are moving, my favourite as a teenager, know listening still can't stop myself moving to it, best ever!!
According to Google: Called the “the No. 1 purveyor of soul music,” Marvin Gaye is one of the most influential artists to ever record for Motown Records. Gaye helped shape the sound of Motown in the 1960s, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist.

One of the timeless classics and a great opening for " the big chill"
Love this song.... despite the sadness. It was played at Tim's funeral but I always remember him dancing to it....
Gone, but never forgotten 🥲
It's absolutely the voice that makes this.

Everyone loved Marvin Gaye, except for his Father!
I think his "dad", who didn't appreciate or approve of his son's love of soul, was JEALOUS !! In his heart, perhaps he wished he was the one with the talent...ahh but too much time has gone by.
I think his father loved Marivn but he hated the drugs especially Cocaine, that Marvin use it 😢😢😢
Have a listen to the tuning. He puts every note exactly where it needs to be, which is a big part of the amazing blues feel on this track. Incredible artistry
