Marvin Gaye live - I Heard it Through the Grapevine

"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" en live à Montreux en 1980 au sommet de sa gloire et 4 ans avant sa mort. Une mise en scène du tonnerre avec l'appel téléphonique en intro et l'un de mes morceaux préférés parmi la longue liste de perles que nous a donné le merveilleux Marvin Gaye disparu trop rapidement comme beaucoup d’autres d’ailleurs…

Paix à son âme…

Le festival de Montreux en Suisse est un des plus grands festivals qu’il soit avec une réputation internationale qui laisse place à de nombreux artistes issus des musiques afro-américaines comme le Jazz, le Blues, la Soul, le Funk et le Rock. Essayez de vous procurer le live en entier car il en vaut vraiment la chandelle.

Lyrics :

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'bout you're plans to make me blue
with some other guy that you knew before.
Between the two of us guys
you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say,
when I found out yesterday.
Don't you know that...

[Chorus:]
I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see,
cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
that you love someone else.
Instead...

[Chorus]

People say believe half of what you see,
son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' confused
if it's true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
for the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know...

[Chorus]
