A rumor. A whisper. A secret passed from one soul to another until it becomes a wail. That’s the heart of I Heard It Through the Grapevine. Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong, the song snaked its way from Smokey Robinson to Gladys Knight, only to become a legend when Marvin Gaye poured his velvet baritone over its haunting groove. Later, Creedence Clearwater Revival stretched it out into an 11-minute jam that shook walls.

This original sheet music brings that story to your fingertips—arranged for piano, vocal, and guitar. It’s a snapshot of Motown soul and late-60s cultural electricity, the very notes that carried suspicion, heartbreak, and groove into American living rooms.
