FIRST TIME HEARING | CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - "HAVE YOU SEEN THE RAIN?" | OLD SCHOOL REACTION!

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up on the great music of the 60's-70's. CCR has always been one of my favorites. John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. They don't have a bad song! Huge list of hits! "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Proud Mary", "I Put A Spell On You", "Fortunate Son", "Down On The Corner", "Green River", "The Midnight Special", "Susie Q", "Born On The Bayou", "Travelin' Band", "Run Through The Jungle", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitchhiker", "Bad Moon Rising" etc.

[@jossetteking4967]

All of these a MUST! I agree that CCR has NEVER had a bad song.

[@ShawnKavanagh]

All fantastic, and muddy Lookin' out my back door, to start the day

[@evelynhoard2845]

All of these...

[@danwilliams9299]

Me too😋

[@karenmatthews1751]

he's so right they have no bad songs

[@kristennielsen2601]

All their songs are amazing but you gotta do their "Heard It Through the Grapevine" (live extended), "Born on the Bayou", and "Bad Moon Rising" and "Fortunate Son" etc etc etc!!

[@tamarawhiston7996]

I grew up in Southern California on these classics. As good today as then.

[@vincentschmitt7597]

Back in mid 1980s CCR's version of Heard it Through the Grapevine came on the radio while in the car with my father. Eventhough the tune had been around for 15 years I knew he'd never heard it. I gave him credit for getting 2/3 through it before yelling "aaaaaaahhhhhh" and changing the station.

[@klevesmith]

Agree!!!

[@miafranlund6982]

Creedence and John Fogerty, here you can find so much good music like I put a spell on you Susie Q Proud Mary Born on the Bayou

[@lisak2580]

Fortunate Son and Down on the Corner are a must! CCR is great, so you really can’t go wrong. Looking forward to more!

[@jamesbondbond8388]

And Proud Mary !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pilotboy3328]

YES!

[@jamanga59]

'Down On The Corner' is one of my favorites and my brother and I used to get in trouble for singing 'Proud Mary on the church bus.😊

[@chimera9812]

Absolutely love this song. It was played at my dad’s funeral and everyone started singing while crying. It was his favorite group and favorite song. ❤️

[@natachalulacochinelo4838]

Qué bonita despedida para tu papá. Cuidate mucho y sé buena persona.❤❤

[@jessicacifelli5496]

Bad Moon Rising, Down On The Corner, and Fortunate Son along with this song are frequent visitors in my Playlist. Great choice AB!

[@evergreenforestwitch]

Second this is as a starting point. Like the OP says, you really can't pick a bad song in their catalog.

[@AviarSavijon]

John Fogeety lead singer was a master in classic rock and beyond.

[@barrydraper]

CCR is a VIBE!!! You've gotta check out "Heard it through the Grapevine", "Born on the Bayou", "Proud Mary", and all the rest...

[@rowaineboyd1536]

Can't go wrong with CCR. Fortunate Son, Born on the Bayou, and Bad Moon Rising are my top 3 after this one, but any are worth several listens. Enjoy this blast from the past!

[@brandonmiller155]

We named our daughter Creedence. She thought her name was Creedence Revival forever! (And I can play this on the harmonica 🔥🔥

[@DavidTateVA]

Oh, such a deep rabbit hole. Every song on "Willie and the Poor Boys" is fire. Their covers of "I Heard it Through the Grape Vine" and "I Put a Spell On You" and "The Midnight Special" are... special. "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Fortunate Son", "Green River", "Born on a Bayou", "Bad Moon Rising", ... so many others. Late 60s early 70s.

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

CCR is one of the best classic rock bands ever.

[@cdfdesantis699]

'60's-'70's, fan-TAS-tic band, HUGE catalog, hit after hit after hit, rock, swamp rock, blues, folk, etc., many songs endemic to the Vietnam War. Thanks for your reaction.

[@packratb4]

"Down on the Corner" and "Looking Out My Backdoor". Love CCR

[@lynnhoffman247]

They’re generally called CCR 👍🏼 Born on the Bayou…Down On the Corner…Looking Out My Back Door…Heard it through the Grapevine 🔥🔥🔥

[@mamaflush9945]

You can't go wrong with a "CCR" song ❤‍🔥John Fogerty has some of the grittiest most soulful set of vocals you'll ever hear...simply beautiful stuff, bro. Here's another suggestion of a live performance, if interested. "Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You (Live at Woodstock)" the band members were lead singer/lead guitarist and primary songwriter John Fogerty, his brother Tom Fogerty (rhythm guitarist), Stu Cook (bassist), and drummer Doug Clifford. This was a fun reaction 🕺AB Got Moves🕺🎸

[@theresaeliason3065]

Fortunate Son, Heard it through the grapevine. Just a couple of my favorite CCR songs there are so many ♥️

[@k0ts0]

Listen to their version of i put a spell on you when you have a chance. Keep up the great reactions, they are appreciated.

[@mtbwithtfb]

"Who'll stop the rain" comes to mind. Check it out AB.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Long as I can see the light by CCR is a MUST….trust me, u will LOVE that one

[@loydingle7088]

Well, sir ,you have just discovered, one of the most legendary bands , ever,., There are only 3 people who had hits in both sides of a 45, record,... CCR, Elvis, and the Beatles,

[@simontemplar3359]

I absolutely promise you that you will LOVE "As long as I can see the light." There are so many songs to dig. These guys were from California, but their sound is Louisiana AF. Other responses have named good songs, but I would also check out Traveling Band (they rock out), Fortunate Son (one of the greatest protest songs EVER_), or Who'll Stop the Rain. (The vocal harmonies are pure fire). Love the vibe, and may the Force be with you!

[@loydingle7088]

Anything , ... anything by this band is solid gold,........

[@jaqathome]

It’s always the right time for some CCR!

[@jarrodstanley3594]

AB, you definitely have to check out more CCR! They have too many hits to list but a few of my personal favorites: Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, Travellin Band, Heard it Through the Grapevine, Down on the Corner, and Fortunate Son. Love the videos, keep up the great work.

[@scottdonohue3379]

CCR & Lynyrd Skynyrd are the long standing champions of Southern Rock in my book. You’ll have a great time going down the rabbit hole with both of them.

[@kentclark6420]

Don't forget The Band. RIP.

[@scottdonohue3379]

@@kentclark6420 The Band and so many others were great back then, CCR and Skynyrd are just my top of the list go tos for that Southern Rock vibe. The list of other greats from that era goes on and on and we all have our personal favorites. I mean for a lighter sound from that era I would go America & James Taylor and probably Don McLean. For straight Southern Rock though CCR and Skynyrd are my top shelf picks, there are lots I could sit back and enjoy all day though. 👍🏼

[@stevewalsh4850]

Pick one, there is not a bad song in their catalog 😎The music of a generation, my generation 🤠😎

[@howlers8]

you did well in your pronunciation. nailed it. CCR is what we call em too. I'd go with Down on the Corner, Travelin Band and Long as I can see the light. this last one hits

[@MichelleSmith-iz9xb]

Credence Clearwater Revival does go by “CCR” 💕 one of my favorites. Released in 1971. Giving another recommendation. Please React to JJ Grey and Mofro Brighter Days the song “Lochloosa” Live ❤. Love watching your reactions.

Ccr... classic. Never made a bad song tbh but this is one of my favorites. Run through the jungle, down on the corner, out my back door etc

[@hammathguy3995]

You did quite well. You pronounced the name perfectly. We've know them as CCR for 5 decades. They produced a nice mix of original songs and covers. I like their covers of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "Good Golly Miss Molly". "Proud Mary" is an original that Ike and Tina Turner had a hit with. The time frame is late 60's and early 70's before they self destructed.

[@deborahscott8162]

That was one on my favorite songs by CCR as some of us called them. They were what I enjoyed listening to with one of those no named cigarettes along with a cold beer 😂😂😂🤘🏿

CCR all their song. Incredible sound... grew up with them ❤

[@alankoemel3168]

I grew up with CCR. It’s all great. But Fogerty, the lead singer, also did a famous baseball song on his own, “Centerfield.” Their music is from the late 60s.

[@CrankyBeach]

Be sure to watch the version of Centerfield where John and 3 of his kids set up at center field in (empty) Dodger Stadium on his 75th birthday and played... you can guess what. Clearly he was having a tremendous amount of fun! I've heard that he has said he loves baseball and wanted very badly to be a baseball player, and he got his wish... he played baseball very badly. So he became a rock star instead. It's my understanding that Centerfield is played at pretty much every major league baseball game.

[@alankoemel3168]

Just saw John Fogerty in concert last weekend in VA!! AMAZING! Being in my 30’s, I never thought I’d ever be able to see him sing CCR live!! Dream come true. Nothing like John Fogerty!!

[@swinchester1231]

I saw them in concert every time they came to my little town in the 70’s. My fav group for this girl from Louisiana.

[@CrankyBeach]

CCR lead singer, guitarist and songwriter John Fogerty toured recently and I saw him for the first time, despite my having been a CCR fan and buying a number of their records back in the late 1960s. He has a tremendous amount of energy for a 78-year-old man, bouncing all over the stage, so I want to know what kind of vitamins he takes. He was backed up by a band that includes two of his sons. And he's definitely still got the juice. CCR was one of the headliner bands at Woodstock in 1969. Like many young bands of the era, CCR signed a very bad recording and publishing contract, and only recently did John finally get back the rights to his songs after a very long battle. He also got back the guitar he played at Woodstock, and he was practically giddy as he announced those two events from the stage. "I got my baby back! And I got my songs back, and I'm gonna play 'em for you!" Well worth seeing if he comes your way.

[@anitawright7169]

I remember being on the lake in a boat in '68. Wyoming. In our bad-ass boat. Middle of the lake at dusk. Dad playing Creedence out loud on the 8-track across the lake. Campfires all around. Late June. Fireworks shooting up around all around the lake as the sound blasted out across the waters. Does not get any better than that right there, folks. Epic moment in my life.

This was one of the last songs they recorded together before they broke up, it was written because they were so popular but they were fighting so much amongst themselves. There's a great documentary out about them. John Fogerty, who wrote all the songs, FINALLY won back the rights to his own songs from the recording company after a ridiculously long court battle, at least a decade iirc.

[@jimwebb9328]

On your cover photo, from L to R: Doug Clifford - drums, Tom Fogerty - rhythm guitar, Stu Cook - bass, John Fogerty - lead guitar, vocal, main songwriter. If you ever saw a Viet Nam war movie you probably heard them sing Fortunate Son. That was in every Vietnam war movie made. Other hits: Suzie Q, Proud Mary, Up Around the Bend, Heard It Through the Grapevine (cover), Born on the Bayou, Green River, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Keep On Chooglin', Midnight Special (cover), Good Golly Miss Molly (cover), many others. First album 1968. Last studio album 1972 so pretty brief career but very productive.
