http://books.google.com/b...&q&f=false And here's an article from the same damn page: MOTOWN SWEEPS TOP 3 SPOTS ON HOT 100 NEW YORK - The Motown Record Corp. took over the singles sweepstakes this week scoring on Billboard's Hot 100 chart with the top three positions and a total of five discs in the top 20. Leading the takeover is Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" on Tamla... You can read the rest of the article but the LINKS ARE THE PUDDING. Now you can say it was hard to read but if so, GET GLASSES or a MICROSCOPE.
Don't be talking to me about no Motown, I'll cut ya. I did say Marvin's verison went #1 on the r&b charts. What are you talking about? | |

No need. I'm done.  Sorry for making this topic go off course. Just had to set it straight. If he wants to argue with me about that, then I won't join in. I'll leave him wondering.  | |

Oh settle down.  There is no beef between Timmy & me. Besides, we're fans of the nWo wolfpac/The Band.  | |

Anyway back on topic, with Stevie's version, like Alexde pointed out, you can feel the pain and vulnerability in his version.
Being 17 and already writing songs that deep, you knew he was gonna go farther than what Motown tried to peg him in. I could pin a story on Stevie's version, a guy looks out the window in despair with tears as rain falls and he looks over at a picture of him and his girlfriend wondering what happened and he knows if she ever comes back, if that's a real possibility, he'll tell her how he's been feeling since they broke up. In Aretha's, it's more like a flirtatious come-on hither version, where instead of breaking up, it sounds as if she's waiting for her man to come home so she could "change his views". You could tell the differences between Stevie's and Aretha's. | |

The definitive one for me. I agree  I actually heard this version before I ever heard the Stevie version.In 1974,my mother bought Aretha's album 'Let Me In Your Life' and I heard this song all the time.I was just a little kid but I remember thinking "THIS is soul music!" | |

Of course you heard Aretha's version first. Stevie's original recording wasn't released until 4 years later. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

...
 One of the the things I love best about Aretha's version is Donny Hathaway's rhythmic electric piano and organ...I wonder what Stevie would've sounded like with Aretha in this arrangement....
Byt Yeah, although Stevie recorded it in the sixties, Motown didn't actually release it until that Anthology set.... ... ... [Edited 5/10/10 13:32pm] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |
