I Heard It Through the Grapevine [SEP] Gladys Knight & the Pips
Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded "Grapevine" on June 17, 1967, in Motown's Studio A, with Norman Whitfield as producer. After hearing Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect", Whitfield rearranged "Grapevine" to include some of the funk elements of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. According to David Ritz, Whitfield set to record a song that would "out-funk" Aretha. After Whitfield presented the demo tapes, Gladys Knight, Bubba Knight, William Guest, and Edward Patten worked for several weeks on their vocal arrangement. To make the song suitable for Gladys, the first line of the second verse (""I know a man ain't supposed to cry/But these tears I can't hold inside"") was altered to (""Take a good look at these tears in my eyes/Baby, these tears I can't hold inside"").
