It's because grapes turn into raisins.

CCR is the best when it comes to a lot of songs.

This is one of them.

Their version of I Put a Spell On You also slaps

I do like the Gaye version, but there's just something about the CCR version with those hard hitting drums and that Fogerty growl lol.

Gaye > CCR >>> Smokey >>>>>> Gladys

Marvin's is about as close to perfect as I can imagine -- in fact, the only thing I don't like about it is how the backing vocals are distracting in places. CCR's version smokes and I like how well it translated to a rock setting, even if the 11-minute running time can be off-putting for some listeners (personally, I like the workout). Smokey's version is pretty good, too, although I'd still put it third. Gladys' take, as much as I love her voice, doesn't do it for me, because it ditches that crucial organ vamp to make it more upbeat. Sorry, that's just not how the Grapevine works!

For me, the ideal would be Marvin's version stretched out to CCR's length.

This is the first version I remember hearing. I have a hard time not associating it with literal grapes.

Marvin Gaye did it best. Smokey and Gladys are always good. I like most of the CCR version, except the way he pronounces the word "heard".
