A friend told me his story of the lead singer, John Fogerty. My friend and his college friends were hanging out on a warm night in the front yard. A man in a plaid flannel came up to them and started chatting. It was John Fogerty. He stayed for a few minutes and excused himself and said goodbye. My friend was struck by John's humbleness and ease. The college kids were blown away that John Fogerty just stopped by and talked with them. Maybe it is that humbleness that comes through in the music. I like to think so.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Wow, thanks for sharing. Great memories 😀

[@mylesstopmotionsandcats2482]

now thats a sweet story!!!

You can never go wrong with CCR. I'm one who grew up with this music. And we would be honored to have you for Americans! Your reactions are the best. Thank you so kindly!

This is a tiny planet in a wide universe. We all have identical hearts and music comes to us like a miracle on the wind.

[@ToddSauve]

@@Captwalker70 Yes, there was nothing anyone could do about the fact short songs were all that radio would play back then. Five minutes seems ideal these days though many, many of my favourite songs are longer than that! 😎🎸🎸🎸😎

[@johnlaforce4421]

Welcome to America, we’re proud to have you!

[@beverlymcgrath8441]

I love this song so so much. I used to listen to it over and over when I was 10. It seemed like the most beautiful song. Let it Be was like that for me, too.

[@IFRfun]

I sure love you guys, your hearts, emotions, and reviews. I am 78 years old, was in Vietnam in '67-'68 so enjoyed all these bands from the '60's and '70's. When I returned from Vietnam and settled back into society which was a bit turbulent in the late '60's, I used to stop at a donut shop, have coffee and listen to CCR and the Beatles on the juke box. I would enjoy these songs as you do and reflect on where I had been, the simpler life of the '50's and early '60's, then the difficulty of the Vietnam era and post war times. Hearing CCR especially caused me to yearn for those simpler times when life seemed so happy and good. Watching you guys take me back to those feelings. Thank you so much. Love you.

[@deanbrunner261]

Hello from Memphis TN.. I was born in the 50s and got to live thru the entire evolution of the music from then til now. 60s and 70s are always my favorite time for music

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Awesome 👍

[@ToddSauve]

John Fogerty wrote "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" to express his frustration with the fact that CCR was breaking up as a band, back around 1971 or so. It used to gall me as a 12 year old kid that so many of my favourite bands would only last a few years and then break up! I never wanted to break up with my friends in grade school or high school, so the fact these adults could not get along made me angry! They were taking away my favourite music! What was wrong with them? Now that I'm 66 I wonder how some bands stayed together as long as they did! 🤔🙄😄💖🎸🎸🎸😎

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for explaining 😊

[@user-yi3zo7nn3j]

Eine der besten Bands ever.👍

[@user-fw9li4qx1q]

You are both so right. I grew up listening to CCR because my uncle used to play their hits all the time, absolutely love this music, I will never stop listening to CCR. I will listen to their music until the day I die, because it makes me so happy!

[@noplacelikehomecrochet5335]

We had so many different wonderful bands and songs for every mood you could imagine back then ❤

[@79BlackRose]

It is a feel good song for sure, as so many of theirs are. There is something that seems so authentic about this fantastic band. In a 2020 interview with American Songwriter, Fogerty stated that the line "Have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day?" was inspired by the band's feelings of unease and depression at the height of their fame and commercial success.

[@ColetteMalette1]

I don’t believe there is a bad CCR song❤ Always have and always will be one of my Fav’s❤

[@mathcoolen7924]

I saw John Fogerthy last friday on de Bospop festival in the Netherlands....top..top... Great reaction🙏

Oh wow! That's something. Lucky you 😊

[@lonepoulsen5802]

Your reactions is always so great. I love it ❤👌

[@jimbessett2392]

Hi from Washington state in America. Love you two! So sweet and kind. I would say that this song is not only to be taken literally but figuratively. The rain is also a metaphor for the bad times in your life that you may have experienced.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you 😊

[@n3wsymtl]

My favorite song of all time. CCR = musical comfort food.

[@pluckinmageetar]

2 for 2 today. TWO songs on my GOAT list back to back. I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist and I dj'd back in my Army days. I played all genres so that's saying a lot. I just love music! It's been my savior. ❤ Much love from Texas.

[@2924sunny]

Keep on Chooglin' through the CCR catalogue! I vote for Long as I Can See the Light next!!

[@mackbeasley526]

The music connects all of us. We all have loves, we all have loss and we all have places we've been that bring back wonderful memories. The music of CCR and many other artist take us on a trip that reflects special moments of our lives no matter if you live in Romania or Chicago.

[@P-M-869]

Back then we had a lot of great music.

[@terrycunningham8118]

The thing about CCR back when they were playing is that they were one of many bands that we were into then. Basically, we were drinking from a fire hydrant when it came to music during that time, there was so much happening, and I suspect that some great bands might have been taken more for granted than they deserved.

[@markgraham6928]

your expressions, interactions and views are a joy to watch. thank you so much!!!

[@mrbumble2986]

You obviously enjoy your CCR tracks, we can tell by your smiling faces and the way you move along to them. I think part of the appeal is that their songs are so uncomplicated and relatively easy to sing along to. They can turn their hand to any kind of song style from rocking tracks like Travelin' Band to more laid back stuff like Long As I Can See The Light one of my favourites. Loving you guys reaction style and whatever you play I'll be sticking with you.

[@miguelpineda3826]

Thank you for reacting to the songs I heard when I was eleven years old, I had this single with this song on side B, and side A was hey tonight, then when I became 12 years old my Mother bought me the Pendulum record wich had this song at the end of side A; lots of fun listening to this band in the pacific coast of Guatemala, there were so many good songs in english and spanish as well.

[@RKIRCHDO]

I was lucky and saw them twice live in the early 1970's when going to college. Got every album. I like your reactions and glad to see younger people enjoy the music of the 60's and 70's. RK

I love your reactions, you can tell that you two are genuinely nice people that truly love one another. I think that the fact that you can relate or connect to the song is a tribute to their talent. Bring relatable or something that you can connect to is really the whole point of music. 🙂

Hello! Juan Gabriel "gracias al sol" the best cover of "have you ever seen the Rain" 👍

[@CopperNoir]

I had heard this song was a metaphor for the band being on the verge of breaking up. On the surface, everything seemed 'sunny,' Hit songs, beautiful music. But behind the scenes, it was pouring cats and dogs.

[@ialrakis5173]

This is an example of why it's always worth listening to older music. It's the only way to discover timeless treasures. Unrelated, but have to mention it anyway. Someone's looking really good with those blue glasses. 🙂

Thank you kindly 💚🤓

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

First of all I would like to thank you for your service. I have much respect for all our veterans . I am 70 years old and remember hearing about all the horror that the soldiers had to endure and all the disrespect they endured when they came home made me ashamed to be called an American. Yes CCR'S songs c always takes me back to when times were more simple. Their songs make me smile.

[@fantasycamp4000]

I always thought this song was too short, I want it to go on and on. Next one: Stuck in Lodi

[@user-jn8jk5cc7v]

CCR is good stuff. John Fogerty wrote and sang all the hits.

[@MrJohnw2454]

Music from this time reaches the soul. Even if you weren't alive then you were coming and this music was intended to reach the heart of mankind!

[@MrJohnw2454]

The sad thing is that we didn't realize what we had at that time.

CCR had a song on their first album very seldom played, but one of my favorites!! It's called " walk on the water". You guys should listen to it. Welcome to America!!!

[@DanielMarquesMoreira-dj2cd]

CCR a maior banda do mundo

[@ToddSauve]

And yes, we Canadians and Americans regard CCR as truly one of the greatest rock bands ever. John Fogerty plays Calgary virtually every single year because he knows he has no bigger fans than those on the Canadian prairies! Please react to to their version of "Cotton Fields" which is a great favourite of everyone who loves the band! The other three members of the band play Calgary fairly frequently, as well, and played at the local police ball just a few years back. 🎸🎸🎸😎💖💖💖

[@tracydecker-hn4sf]

Brings back so many good memories. Thank you! Would you consider David Phelps cover of Bridge over Troubled Water. Its very good. Thanks again

There’s a town near me, here in Ohio called Lorain. So we always replace “the rain” with that.

[@dennish3032]

The rain during the vietnam war. The big bombers that were designed for nuclear bombs were used to drop napalm bombs ( jellied gasoline) to kill the foliage between N? and S. Vietnam to prevent sneaking across the border. Those bombs had very shiny mirror like finishes.

[@williamcabell142]

Beagles Rule; but CCR are iconic Genius! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MrRondonmon]

I think John has said this song was about the internal strife in the band. I have always preferred *Who'll stop the Rain* which I think was about how hard it rained at Woodstock.

I don’t think I appreciated the music of the 60’s and 70’s when I was younger. I had so many great bands and artists to choose from. I was all over the place with my taste in music. One day it would be folk, country, Motown, rock, jazz….. that was my favorite for the week.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

That's why! Too many amazing artists, so you had to love them all 💚😊

Watch Proud Mary by CCR then watch Tina Turner Proud Mary Live Wimberly . 2000

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

I was 13 years old when CCR came out and the first song I heard made me instantly love them. Please react to LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR it's a fun happy song and I'm sure you will love it. When I was 25 years old my mom and I used to drive to the swap meet and I had 2 of their cassette tapes in my car and she always wanted to listen to them which I thought was so cool because she hated rock but she loved CCR. I believe that they appeal to all age groups. Another fun song I think you might enjoy is DOWN ON THE CORNER. I wouldn't steer you wrong. ❤❤❤

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Beautiful memories 😀 Thank you for sharing. We already reacted to "Looking out my back door". Awesome song 💚
