The Cowsills track (above from 1967) is one of those classics that didn't chart in the UK.

 

I like this Manfred Mann video - one of the first times the mellotron was played on a record

The Beatles, Cream, Stones and The Experience...quite the supergroup. Christ, Lennon could belt it out, what a voice - Keef not at all shabby on the bass either -

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" is a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. The first recording of the song to be released was produced by Whitfield for Gladys Knight & the Pips and released as a single in September 1967; it went to number two in the Billboard chart.

The Miracles first recorded the song on August 16, 1966^[1] and included their version on their 1968 album, Special Occasion. The Marvin Gaye version was placed on his 1968 album In the Groove, where it gained the attention of radio disc jockeys, and Motown founder Berry Gordy finally agreed to its release as a single in October 1968, when it went to the top of the Billboard Pop Singles chart for seven weeks from December 1968 to January 1969 and became for a time the biggest hit single on the Motown label (Tamla).

"I heard it through the grapevine" is definitely 60s......but you posted "Sexual healing". 

 

Not complaining - both great songs!

I get you now, I don't know how that happened because I definitely posted grapevine but it seemed to change, I also posted the Brokenhearted song if you look now they've gone back to Grapevine / Brokenhearted.

 

Saw it late last night and came on this morning expecting to change it  - damn weird? 

 

Sexual healing never crossed my mind, too old for that
