It was 54 years ago today December 14th, 1968 that Marvin Gaye scored the biggest hit of his career when "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" hit Number One and kicked off a seven-week run on top of the charts. The song had recently hit Number Two by Motown label-mates Gladys Knight & The Pips in a more upbeat version. Amazingly, although "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" was Marvin Gaye's 24th Top 40 hit and seventh Top 10, it marked his first-ever chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100. "I Hard It Through The Grapevine" was produced by Norman Whitfield who co-wrote the song with Barrett Strong. Whitfield is also best-remembered for his work with the Temptations and other Motown acts, co-writing and producing such hits as "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," "I Can't Get Next To You," "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)," "(I Know) I'm Losing You," "Cloud Nine," "War,"
