Which artist had the best version of this song?
Remember the commerical with the dancing raisins? They were dancing down the road for Raisin Bran Cereal. Several artists have this song recorded, but two stand out amongst all of them: Marvin Gaye and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

there will never be another Marvin Gaye….awesome! My kind of music.
A 3rd vote for Marvin Gaye.
CCR Not as well sung but more kickass energy.
I love both versions but CCR’s is my favorite. It really raisins my my energy.
So far, it’s a close race. both have their own merit. agree?
I like both but I like CCR’s version better. I like the way he pronounces the word “heard”....“I HUUUYEERRD THROUGH THE GRAPE VINE”
I knew you were watching, @Jillthetooth. ;-)
@Austinlad Grape answer!
I’ll have to go with the Marvin Gaye cabal.
Now I’ve got that song in my head which is not a bad thing.
@Austinlad Rainy days and punsters always get me down.
@Austinlad: I lurk in the shadows…waiting…watching…
Sorry, @janbb. It’s a curse I gladly share with a mostly unappreciative world.
Well, some of us think you are a peach even if your puns could be pruned a bit..
The original is ALWAYS the best.
The rest are just copies. Might be good copies.
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles is THE best.
Now I want to see The Big Chill again.
@janbb Just a bit of trivia.. did you know the person in the coffin in that movie is Keving Costner?
why does everyone have a lurve except me? prejudice….so, you don’t like short, old, balded headed fat guys! I’m calling my attorney.
hey Chaz, if you see Bob, tell him I need my grass mowed today.
Marvin FTW.
@chyna: Yup, that was Kevin Costner’s first role.
Ok, after he makes me a sandwich.
