Fans practically aced the Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell duet question at 91% correct, yet completely blanked on who FIRST recorded 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' — a song Marvin Gaye made iconic — with 0% getting it right. Same artist, totally different story!
More than half of fans — 55% — wrongly credited 'Baby Love' as The Supremes' first U.S. #1 single, completely overlooking 'Where Did Our Love Go.' Meanwhile, the Holland–Dozier–Holland team who wrote both hits was only identified by 27% of fans as the masterminds behind 'Stop! In the Name of Love.'
