Ya'll know the song, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". It is a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. Gladys Knight and the Pips and Marvin Gaye both recorded the song.

So what does it mean to hear something through the grapevine? It means to hear gossip or a rumor spreading around from person to person.

According to the lyrics, the broken hearted one heard through the grapevine about his lover's plan to make him blue. He learned that he would be loosing her.

He said, "You could of told me yourself that you loved someone else. Instead I heard it through the grapevine. Not much longer would you be mine."

This song can be for a guy or a girl to sing. There are a lot of broken hearted men as well as broken hearted women loosing the one that they love. And I betcha some of them think of this song.....
