I assume he means that people think Harry Nilsson’s version is the original since it’s much more famous.

This version of “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” is the definitive version. BUT, Gladys Knight and the Pips released their version first! I prefer their version. Gladys wasn’t on speaking terms with Marvin for awhile after he covered her. But here’s the twist…the Miracles did the original version! It wasn’t released until AFTER Marvin and Gladys did theirs.

Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show.

Originally written by Bob Dylan and recorded, but never released except on bootlegs.

Their version is drastically different. I think he had to threaten to sue them over it. He's on the writing credits now.

So Darius Rucker's version is a cover of a cover.
