Artifact Overview
In the 1980s, the California Raisin Advisory Board brought their product to life as an animated rhythm and blues band. The group's rendition of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" aired on a 1986 TV commercial and left the public wanting more. By 1988, The California Raisins had four albums, a Billboard Hot 100 hit, and a mockumentary about their origins.
