In The Groove was Marvin Gaye's eighth studio album, his first solo studio release in more than two years. "Chained," from the album, was still climbing the chart (peaking at No. 8 R&B and No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100) when curious radio DJs began to spin Gaye's version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine." Motown founder Berry Gordy hadn't initially planned to release Gaye's recording of the Norman Whitfield and Barrett Tough song, as it had been rejected at numerous Quality Control meetings.

The eighth studio album by spirit musician Marvin Gaye, released on August 26, 1968 on the Motown-subsidiary label Tamla Records. It was the first solo studio album Gaye released in two years, after recording duets with female R&B singers Kim Weston and Tammi Terrell. In the Groove was reissued and retitled as I Heard It Through the Grapevine after the unexpected success of that tune, which would become Gaye's biggest-selling and signature single of his career. For the song, producer Whitfield decided to power Gaye to elevate his vocal register higher than what he was used to. The album also marked Gaye's first attempts at producing himself in the studio with his own self-penned songs, the funky gospel dancer, "At Last I Establish a Love", and the smoother "Change What You Can".
