Marisa Monte is a Brazilian popular singer, and one the biggest stars of contemporary MPB. She was born on July 1, 1967 in Rio de Janeiro. While classically trained in opera singing, she grew up surrounded by the sounds of the Portela samba school, and combines diverse influences into her music. While most of her music is in the style of modern MPB, she has also recorded traditional sambas and folklore tunes, and songs by Marvin Gaye and Lou Reed. Much of her work has been in collaboration with musicians/songwriters Carlinhos Brown, Arnaldo Antunes, and Nando Reis, and producer Arto Lindsay.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine Lyrics
Marisa Monte
(Noeman Whitfield - Barret Strong)
I bet you wonderin' how I knew
'bout your planes to make me blue
Whith some other guy you knew before
Between two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise
I must say
When I found you yesterday
Don't you know that
I heard it through the grapevine,
not much longer would you be mine
uhh uhh heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey, oh baby
ooh ooh honey honey
I know 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 loved someone else
Instead
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ohh I heard it thought the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey
People say believe half of what you see
Oh, and none of what your hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
