CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL Proud Mary REACTION - They gave this classic a new swing!

[@tobysmith3351]

John Fogerty wrote Proud Mary. It was a CCR song before Tina Turner sang it.

[@danielwellman9865]

Yes toby! Fogerty is one amazing songwriter/singing/guitarist talent. The inventor of swamp rock and from near San Francisco.

[@tobysmith3351]

@@danielwellman9865 I just saw Fogerty in concert two weeks ago (playing alongside his sons). Was wonderful.

[@jeanoltvedt]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@godfreyfreeman7754]

Swamp rock/Americana

[@phyllisness9270]

This is the ORIGINAL band and song. They didn't give it a "new swing", this is the way it is supposed to be sung.

[@deborahpaley21]

they WROTE this classic suh lol

[@dantallman5345]

Both versions were phenomenal and so different from each other.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Fogerty has often said that he loved what Ike and Tina Turner did with the song. Different but kept the spirit of it.

[@ravenmccall5486]

CCR was the sound of a generation! I always think of our guys in Vietnam at that time. The protests in the street and us trying to figure it all out. A pivotal time in the world for sure. Thanks you two, love it! Hippie time!

[@leftcoaster67]

CCR is timeless.

[@3DThrills]

What?? CCR didn't put a twist on a classic. LOL John Fogerty wrote and released this ORIGINAL in 1969. Tina Turner, Elton John and Cher all released covers the following year.

[@love-vy1ry]

Elvis not forget

[@dagmar.6954]

This is such a great song written by John & recorded in 1968. Ike & Tina Turner released their version of "Proud Mary" In 1971. CCR has so much good music. "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Lodi", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.

[@donnadubyak6504]

CCR didn't write or perform Heard it though the grapevine first.

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded it first. I remember seeing Gladys do it on The Muppet Show too. 🤙😎

[@757optim]

John wrote it. CCR's sound was perceived to be right out of the Louisiana bayou, but they hailed from California.

[@rubroken]

Fogerty was in a live concert with some famous musicians and the audience asked for "Proud Mary". He initially refused but one of the people onstage said, "if you don't play it, it will forever be Ike & Tina's song".......he sang it!!!

[@Alwayswilling]

Fogerty put out a lot of real rock'n'roll including Proud Mary,but it was Tina Turner who cranked it up even louder and harder and ended up owning it.

[@Straydogger]

@@Alwayswilling But it will always be a CCR song. 🙂

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

No she didn't own it just because she sang it, always was always will be John Fogertys song👍✌️​@@Alwayswilling

[@rubroken]

@@Alwayswilling I grew up with CCR so I still think they own it, but Tina did smash with it

[@Fumthingelse]

I believe it was Bob Dylan that told him that. CCR original is much better than Tina's version. Tina was great in her own right but this song belongs to John.

[@captainsatellite2112]

Bob Dylan and George Harrison ran into John at a Taj Mahal show and Dylan persuaded him to start playing CCR songs in his solo shows again. Glad John finally got his song rights back.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

I can't believe because you know of the Ike & Tina version but didn't know they we're covering a CCR song you think it wasn't written by Fogerty for CCR . John Fogerty is one of the best songwriters of the 20th century , period .

[@russelldye3751]

This is the original version written by John Fogerty and played by CCR! This was a real big hit for them years before Tina Turner covered it!

[@John_Chu]

John Fogerty is still touring (with his two sons) and his brand of neo-swamp rock invented a new sound in popular music. Thanks Debbie and Harri.

[@captainsatellite2112]

Saw them last year. Still great.

[@davebzen795]

Debbie - This was another spectacular and memorable CCR submission. Bravo!!!! One can never get enough of Fogerty and CCR.

[@brettholcomb3763]

The guy (John Fogerty) singing and playing lead guitar wrote this song. He wrote, sang, and played lead guitar on all the Creedence songs you've reacted to besides the covers ("I Put a Spell on You" and "Heard it Through the Grapevine").

[@ericarachel55]

love it, no one did it better in my opinion

[@M68BI]

John Fogerty wrote this fantastic song. It was before the Turners version. Also wrote Bad Moon Rising, Fortune Son, Sweet Hitchhiker, Lodi, Traveling Band, Up around the Bend and more. So incredibly talented and a great singer.

[@debbiechang5781]

Thanks Harri. Just to set the record straight, John Fogarty wrote and recorded this before Ike and Tina did it. 🌺✌️

[@captainsatellite2112]

John Fogerty of CCR wrote this and about 20 other hits in a time span of about 3 or 4 years. Saw him last year and he's still rockin'. What a set list! 🎸

This might be one of my faves by CCR. Mind you Tina was a very hot mama doing this. Thank you Debbie and Harri.

[@John_Locke_108]

A dude named John Fogerrty wrote this song. He was in a band called Credeence Clearwater Revival.

[@RickeyWilkersonVoices]

It still baffles me how they never had a number one hit with SO many great songs in the CCR catalog.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

John Fogerty of CCR wrote this, and he’s still with us.

[@iandowney4630]

One of my favorite CCR songs! Actually, one of my favorite songs, period. Thanks very much for the request, Debbie, and your reaction, Harri.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

One of the many great songs written by John Fogerty❤

[@danielslover8669]

You’re not wrong. It’s got it all. I hope you check out more CCR !

[@stevebuckland2053]

I think the kind of Rock is; Swamp, or Southern, or Country...oh hell, it's just CCR!

Great song. Love CCR and John Fogerty's voice. Thanks Harri and Debbie ❤

[@AlwaysEPDoris]

Tioning and boining!!! Love Fogerty!!❤

[@FreedomLuvr-vh5ic]

Back in the day, we called it "Cross Country," because it crossed over. That line was pretty easy to cross back then, with these guys, the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Emmy Lou Harris, and probably a dozen others. I loved it.

[@academyofshem]

You mean, Ike & Tina gave it a new swing.

[@memorylane7068]

A lot of people call CCR Swamp Rock, as they sound more like they are from Louisiana, vice California.

[@Debbie338]

I love their original and Tina’s on it. Credit to Tina for making it her signature song, but Fogerty did write it.

[@robbiem9293]

Love CCR!! Actually got to see them in concert in the early’70s

[@jimbrentar]

John Fogarty was a genius

[@garryokeefe1605]

Probably thir most famous hit out of so many, but what a hits band they were and some great albums too. So many amateur/semi-pro groups were doing this at holiday camps in the late 60s/early 70s when we went up to the Norfolk coast for holidays near Great Yarmouth. Classic guitar riff/licks song that still delivers and reminds of a landmark rock era. Wonderful.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

[@Squeekyleaks]

This is their song.

[@love-vy1ry]

Harry. IT WAS THEIR SWING

[@phillipharrison7283]

If you want some CCR blues have a listen to 'Graveyard Train' from the same album 'Bayou Country', as 'Proud Mary'. Great set. Cheers Harri ✌

[@memorylane7068]

Alos love the Tina Turner version.

[@Kat-gx3se]

Memorial Weekend 1968 Lake isabella California. Blazing hot, even at night. This was blasting and we were dancing our butts off. What a great time that was. CCR always brings up that memory. Was anyone else there?

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

I would consider "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", etc, as SWAMP - A - BILLY...

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

ccr was like the founders of country rock. first there was "folk rock" in the mid 60s with performers like the byrds and simon and garfunkel. then "country rock" in the late 60s with bands like country joe and the fish, the grateful dead and creedence clearwater revival. then "southern rock" in the early 70s with bands like the allman bros and lynyrd skynyrd. the album this appears on is "Bayou Country." "proud mary" appears on side 2 and, along with the cover of "good golly miss molly" that leads off the side, followed by "penthouse pauper," then comes "proud mary" and ends with "keep pn chooglin'" is one of the best album sides in r&r history. (the last 3 songs are all penned by john fogerty. man, i just love that shirt. i gotta get me one of those. it would go great with my fringe jacket. thanks for the video.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

2 songs you might want to check out are "truckin" (1970) by the grateful dead and "keep on truckin" (1973) by hot tuna. both songs are excellent and a lot of fun. the first song was declared a national treasure by the u. s. library of congress in 1997.

[@love-vy1ry]

CCR scored no2 in1969, Ike & Tina only no4 in 1971. One might assume that Tina was lucky that CCR disbanded so early after on 16 october 1972. PM and the show around it shaved her ass in the musicworld after the divorce from Ike.

[@patriciatolliver4057]

Patty-I saw them in concert in the 70's with Buddy Miles snd Tower of Power. Awesome concert.

[@stephenulmer3781]

Harri, This is Creedences song. They wrote it,had a hit with it first in 1969. The Tina Turner version is a cover from 1971 😂

[@P-M-869]

This song was becoming big when my ship USS Yellowstone AD-27 set sail for the Med, early Nov, '69. No one was able to find the album before we left. I was wondering around Naples, Italy, where we were stationed, and found the album. I became very popular on board. This will always be my favorite version, taking nothing away from Ike & Tina. Southern Rock

[@anitawright7169]

Love this song so very much. The did more than justice to it. Love your reaction!

[@michaelsimmons8052]

CCR version released in 1969. Tina Turner's in 1971. I prefer the original version .

[@GeorgetteHolloway-g4q]

Try listening to "Keep on Chooglin" by CCR a great jam!!!!!!!! really worth listening to!

[@riggermorpus]

“Swamp Rock” I think is a good term.

[@GeorgetteHolloway-g4q]

Try listening to the song my Phoebe Snow "Every Night" written by Paul McCartney, love it!!!!!!!!!!

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

This is the original version, January 1969.

[@vatiammatri2660]

Back in the day we didn't have to label. It borders on blue-eyed rucj n' soul. Everyone was groovin' on everyone else and putting it into the mix. CCR was definitely one of the premier sounds of the day, crossing genres.

[@cirrustate8674]

This is a CCR song. Tina covered it.

Their song originally, but they did a handful of great covers

[@cosmiccowboy7764]

It’s only Rock N Roll !

[@bake7148]

I am probably really being trivial, but one thing I didn't like about the Ike & Tina Turner version is when she sings-----But I never lost a minute of sleeping-I was worryin' about the way things might have been, completely turning the meaning of the line upside down.

[@murrayjennex1377]

yup, john fogarty wrote proud mary, Turners did a good job with it, but theirs is a cover, these guys are the originals

[@johnbumgardner7977]

It's a CCR song and CCR did it Best ❤

[@mikeross14]

Harri this is the original Tina's was way later! they made this song, It's about the south,Paddle-wheeler river boats! they call it" Swamp rock!" even though they were from California!

[@ronstewart2703]

I don't know if it's an official term, but I'd call most of CCR songs "Cajun Rock."

[@cirrustate8674]

Swamp Rock is the correct term.

[@godot-whatyouvebeenwaitingfor]

Correct, you don't know.. no worries...

[@Xcris_crosX]

I suppose you found out by now, it was Ike & Tina Turner that put a different spin on this original

[@peterzimmer9549]

Two minutes of research would have saved you getting people’s hackles up before making your misinformed statement about writing credits.. I love you Harri, but sometimes I wish you took more care with informing yourself. It wouldn’t hurt anyone if you googled songs before posting just to obtain writing credits, and perhaps release dates.

[@kentclark6420]

I've had that thought about reactors, sometimes. But they might want to go into a video fresh, knowing as little as possible to make it more spontaneous. Although he knows some of the song's names beforehand. If you research certain things, you can run into too much information inadvertently.

[@roadwary56]

So glad this was not the studio version dubbed over a live performance. Man that gets old and it's phony. This was the real deal.

[@RoryVanucchi]

CCR and CSNY introduced country rock and Eagles made it bigger

[@jerrynichols7795]

John fogerty and Tina sang it together also. Check u tube
