[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

The boss said he'd pay them more if the music hit! Then he reneged, said the music was all his, tried to stop John Fogarty from using his own personal style. He played in court to prove it. Recently John got his songs back, so he's on the road again. His big bro was jealous, their success was all John. So he left. The others wanted their songs their way, so he let them, it tanked.

[@karltaylor2362]

Up Around the Bend, Proud Mary, Lookin' Out My Backdoor, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Midnight Special, and Fortunate Son are all great songs and sound SO different from each other.

I saw them in concert right as this song came out in early 1969 in Honolulu at a small gymnasium downtown….it was amazing and they were the first band I’d seen live that sounded Exactly like their record!! Never forget it!

I saw Fogerty in concert on my60th birthday and he played all CCR hits and his own. What a concert.

[@barrydraper]

CCR and John Fogerty is a whole Vibe! You definately need to check out more...

[@MarkFern-fc1eu]

“Long As I Can See The Light” is maybe the best showcase for John Fogerty’s voice. He also plays sax and keyboards on that song. It’s an album cut from “Cosmo’s Factory”. Unbelievably soulful song.

[@kajwicksell4455]

it's the song i played before going to my mother's funeral, since then it has a very special meaning for me...

John Fogerty's voice was an electric, supercharged instrument that instantly made him a star. Everything else was a condiment. Fogerty's voice was the perfectly grilled steak.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

it looks like he is playing through a custom amp. i remember those and the marshals amplifiers stacked on top of each other going to the roof. That was the days i remember and dont forget the LESLIE ROTATING HORN SPEAKER CABINETS. The sounds were bouncing off the wall, an incredible experience. back then they did not have much, but they sure knew how to use what had= and it involved talent. I miss those days and It is just memories now.

[@jonathanroberts8981]

The commonplace was that Fogerty was the only guy ever to get a good tone out of transistor amp. 🌝

[@michaelpond6386]

Many Vietnam vets love CCR. It started with this one, then Fortunate Son, and Run through the jungle. John is our patron saint of swamp rock.

[@dananema2074]

[@LaneLibra]

Theres a reason CCR is hall of fame...

[@merzeporgoher]

If you want his real grit and gracelly voice then listen to" I put a spell on you " and " good golly big molly " he just let it all out in those 2 songs

[@bruceaddington6342]

Try "Keep on Chooglin"

[@RJ-oy7cq]

Maggie--a lot of them get their grit and rocking voices from listening to Rock and Blues and other styles NOT by traditional or classical training.

[@Raphtor13]

OMG - you kids...this is the stuff I grew up on. John Fogerty is awesome!

[@awitherow1202]

absolutely love Creedence. back in those days I think everybody had a mop on their head. those were popular hair styles back then.

[@steve9199]

CCR has 2 of the most criminally underrated songs ever recorded. "Wrote A Song For Everyone", and "Long As I Can See The Light". Do yourself a favor and check those out.

[@chadjohns6955]

Man, what the world lost b/c they couldn't stay together. Imagine 5 or 10 more years of hits, I wonder if they could have kept it up

[@derrickconnolly9164]

John's come back was off the charts. Put me in coach. Did your mama do you proud. And his resent songs are also fantastic. John was admired and hated by many musicians. Every song the man wrote was a hit Most artists are lucky to have one major hit If I have a long road trip I usually play CCR. Or Neil Diamond hot August nights. Forever in Blue jeans. Again the list is endless of great songs

There are cow bells, goat bells, sheep bells even dog bells. All tuned differently and in different sizes.

[@double00spy]

As a former member of the University of Texas Longhorn Band, I am quite familiar with cowbells. They were passed out to all band members at football games. And, yes, they are all tuned to different frequencies. Of course, we were basically just making noise at the football game, but it was great fun.

[@williamcapp448]

They always had a head-bobbing vibe. The leads were not over the top, but melodic and tone pushing. The vocals by John hard to mimic.

[@phantomaudits]

I'll let you know how they sound August 4th when I see them in concert.

[@josephadams7379]

Read the story of "Stuck In Lodi Again". Also, "Ramble Tamble" is a good one.

[@davidkirkham6497]

Hi Maggie: John Fogerty developed this voice from singing in his early years without benefit of microphone! That is where his singing strength came from. He also developed his singing style to add to the “swamp” sound he used! He used words like “boinin” instead of “born,” etc!👍🇨🇦

[@Princess_karen]

There is no one like CCR

[@dirtbikeheaven1129]

As I understand it, they never had a number one single in America. They did have some number one albums here and number one singles in Great Britain. With all of their great songs, it’s criminal that this never happened!

[@carterrandal9185]

My very first concert 1970 at Memphis Tennessee. Floor center stage $5.50. I'm 69 now and still enjoying listening to them.

[@EnoshimaUke]

All of the CCR songs adhere to the mantra "K. I. S. S." : Keep It Simple & Sweet. Every riff is based on 4 notes.

[@danlayne9436]

"And I can still hear my old hound dog barking, chasing down a hoodoo there." 🤔 Not sure if this would fly today.

Fogerty invented the word "chooglin'".

[@jamesloughran7278]

Many bands from the 60s were influenced by black blues artists. That's where the voice comes from.

[@mr.knowitall6440]

To see why/how someone would end up singing like this in the 60's, you should check out some Little Richard, and Wilson Pickett... 😎 But John had a unique sound as well. Nobody sings quite like him.

The cowbell sound comes from the drummer hitting the bell of his crash (I think) cymbal with the tip of his stick.

[@donakahorse]

you can hardly watch a war movie about vietnam without hearing CCR. it's iconic to the time period, anti-establishment music. IE fortunate son.

[@jmweed1861]

John Fogerty had the most unique singing voice in Rock music. And CCR's Music ( all written by John) varied from hard Southern Blues, like this song to Looking Out My Backdoor, which is more County to songs like Long as I Can See the Light, which is a beautiful slower song. John Fogerty is ranked in the Top 50 best of All Time as a Singer, a Song Writer and as a Guitarist...... My Favorite CCR songs are Proud Mary, Green River, Tombstone Shadow, Crosstie Walker, Looking Out my Backdoor and It Came Out of the Sky.. Also, CCR was Our Voice ( Vietnam War Veterans) to the Anti War Movement with songs like Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, and Who'll Stop the Rain? Although you can not go wrong with Any CCR Song, either on 45 or an Album. They killed on their cover of I Hearded it Through the Grapevine ( especially the long version on the Album, Cosmos Factory)....

[@randallhaney7909]

Sone of up like CCR and some of us never watched "that 70's show" nor do we care about it at all. But as stated we do like CCR so since we can't stay on subject. I will bounce at about 1 minute into the song.

[@ryanziegler5433]

Also John Fogerty has been quoted he learned to sing from old 40-50s southern jazz/rock/soul (chuck berry)

[@Tillersweep]

I can remember listening to CCR's version of "There's a bathroom on the right" in the City View tavern in Cincinnati about 1970. (Of course it was "There's a bad moon on the rise") The place is still there and the porch railing is still bent where it was back in 1966.

[@BillHallisey]

I had never thought about it, but yes. If you heard a herd of cows in Switzerland, they had multiple cowbells around their necks and they made different sounds.

[@stanobert3475]

I am an old guy in my seventies and this was one of my favorite 60's songs of all time. I was, and still am, also a Doors and Moody Blues fan and of other great groups. When I first heard this song it immediately become entered into my repertoire of favorite songs. I love John Fogerty's voice! He has what I call a delightful 'gravely' (like the rocks) and powerful "fire in the belly" sound. He obviously wasn't designed to be an opera singer. Passion and fire WAS the 1960s! I also love opera. Great music is great music!

[@paulwhite5840]

Listen to CCR "Run Through the Jungle." You won't be sorry. "Suzie Q" is another.

[@FredericAnderson-dg1jk]

Cowbells can have different sounds according to the size of the cowbell and the thickness and natural tone of the bell. The sound can also be affected by the way the player holds and muffles it with the palm of the hand.

Pleast don't interrupt such a cool song so much! Please Please Please.

[@MK2Scirocco]

You really need to check out CCR'S version of "I put a spell on you"... His voice sounds the best in that song

[@swinetrek]

John developed his voice by singing without a microphone and he stands sideways because it made him a smaller target in some of the dives they started off playing in.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

this a good song but side two of this album "bayou country" is one if the best r&r sides ever. it begins with a cover of little richard's "good golly miss molly." an excellent rendition. the rest of songs were all penned by john fogerty. "penthouse pauper" is the next song followed by their standard classic "proud mary." the album side ends with "keep on chooglin'" a 7 minute long opus which mixes wonderful harmonica work with a kick ass guitar solo. the song rocks and never stops. that's one of the best album sides in r&r history.

[@ReinhardFrisch-j7p]

When I was 16, 17 I had a teenager band an the second guitarist was a beatles fan. I myself was a CCR fan and so he gave me the original 1969 single of Born on the bayou. What a treasure ...

[@kentclark6420]

I may not be getting what you're saying exactly, but I'd say that John had that Southern grit in his soul to begin with, (I think a past life there), as he isn't from the South in this life. He's from California. And his natural voice reflected that part of his soul, so he was able to utilize that sound to his advantage. Btw, a lot of people thought John was black.
