Thanks; I had no idea they formed in 1952. I remember them from the mid/late-50s.
I thought Marvin Gaye did “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”? I played his 45rpm so much that I wore it out in 1967, in college.
Yes, Marvin Gaye did record “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”:
Three of Gaye’s albums – What’s Going On (1971), Let’s Get It On (1973), and Here, My Dear (1978) – were ranked by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. What’s Going On remains his largest-ranked album, reaching No. 6 on the Rolling Stone list and topped the NME list of the Top 100 Albums of All Time in 1985[137] and was later chosen in 2003 for inclusion by the Library of Congress to its National Recording Registry.[138] In addition, four of his songs – “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”, “What’s Going On”, “Let’s Get It On” and “Sexual Healing” – made it on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
