Thank you for uploading, AP! I can really relate to this song, as I was unfortunate enough to go through the same experience as the narrator of this song. This happened a long time ago, it was during my late teens/early twenties, she was the only person I ever dated, and I did indeed, hear through the grapevine about her leaving me for another guy! Ever since then, I've completely given up on dating, you never know how good or bad your lover will be. I do love the arrangement on here. Sources differ as to whether Richard "Pistol" Allen and Uriel Jones drummed together, or Richard "Pistol" Allen drummed alone. For the most of the musicians, the sources are all consistent with one another, with the confirmed musicians being Earl Van Dyke on organ, Johnny Griffith on electric piano, Jack Ashford on tambourine, and James Jamerson on bass, along with Paul Riser as the arranger/conductor, and The Andantes on backing vocals. Two of the musicians were never identified in any of the sources; guitar and percussion are audible, but none of the sources had ever confirmed who the these musicians were. I was always curious about who the musicians on guitar and percussion were, and was curious about whether Richard "Pistol" Allen and Uriel Jones drummed together or Richard "Pistol" Allen drummed alone. I also thought that maybe Eddie "Bongo" Brown was the musician providing percussion, so I emailed the only musicians involved whose participation is consistent across all sources and are still alive; Jack Ashford and Paul Riser. I asked them if Eddie "Bongo" Brown was on here, also asking them whether there's one drummer or there are two drummers. Paul Riser said that the guitarist on here was Joe Messina. Jack Ashford confirmed that Richard "Pistol" Allen drummed alone, and confirmed that Eddie "Bongo" Brown was actually not on here, and in his place was Bobbye Hall (yes, the same "Bobbye Hall" who later worked with such acts as Bill Withers, Carole King, James Taylor and Stevie Nicks), and she also played on other sessions with The Funk Brothers (both on Motown recordings and recording sessions for other labels with The Funk Brothers), including The Temptations, "Sorry Is A Sorry Word" and "I Can't Get Next To You", The Supremes "I'm Livin' In Shame", The Four Tops "Still Water (Love)" and Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher", and I also found out that, during her time as a member of The Funk Brothers, she was nicknamed "The Funk Sister", as she was their only female band member. Very interesting info! Also, with one of the cover versions of this song being by a fictional group called The California Raisins, this song makes me feel like eating raisins every time I hear it😋! Haha!

Kevin Goins

Bobbye Hall is no joke. Excellent percussionist who moved to LA with her husband, record producer Joe Porter

Nick Carlson

As very good as Gladys Knight's and Creedence's versions are, this is THE definitive version.

wmbrown6

This can be added to the chart info:

- R&B Peak: #1 - UK Peak: #1 (BMRB, NME, MM & TP/MN)

In short, a winner all around. And to this day, I prefer Mr. Gaye's rendition to The Pips'. (And Creedence Clearwater Revival's to come.)

(TP/MN = Top Pops/Music Now, UK publication in existence from 1967-71, their charts in existence from 1968-71)

Nick Carlson

Dave Marsh in his 1989 ranking of the best 1001 Rock and Soul singles ever ranked this #1

Shirley Jennings

Awesome!

Why do I suddenly feel like eating raisins?😋

Kevin Goins

Smokey & the Miracles cut this first in 1966 (original outtake vaulted until the 2000s), then Marvin later that year. Gladys & the Pips in 1967 then a year later Marvin's classic finally saw the light of day.

Lord Satanicus

and to think Barry Gordy didnt want him to record this
