BEST YET!| FIRST TIME HEARING Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You REACTION

[@WMalven]

You guys should know that "Screaming Jay" Hawkens, who wrote this song, said that Creedence "owned this song" when he heard their version. Personally, due to that killer guitar work, this is my favorite CCR song.

[@fyoutube4226]

Screaming Jay Hawkins rules.

[@TracyfromNC]

But yall should hear Screaming Jay to get the original vibe.

[@thomashorton5715]

First time I heard Screamin’ Jay Hawkins it was the song constipation blues

[@danbalkey2580]

52 yrs later still listen to them

[@justanotherdayinthelife9841]

LOVE his vocals

I grew up with this band. It doesn't get any better! No gimmicks, just pure talent.

[@carolynkovacs5412]

OMG!! I am 77 yrs old and never heard that version, out of this world!

[@dsusan17]

Screaming Jay Hawkins was the first who recorded this song. I think CCR took it to the next level! Nina Simone version is top notch. I will have to say CCR is the best version. Great reaction

[@Cadinho93]

This was the way they meant the song to feel like a spooky, mystical, voodoo kind of feel. Perfect! Also, John Fogerty's voice was a force of nature in his prime.

[@hopefulsisyphus6550]

Absolutely agree. Makes you feel like you are wandering through New Orleans, and wondering how you got there!

Those adjectives are perfect.

[@Problembeing]

Diamanda Galas.

[@gmb858]

Grit and gumption brings out the "threat" in the lyrics - makes the song dangerous. Sparks firing off those strumming strings

[@williamstlouis3368]

Best version I've ever heard. So many years ago. Peace out.

[@V01t2]

I remember buying this cassette in a truck stop. John Fogerty saw me through so many miles.❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@_Common_Logic_]

Truck stop tapes were the "best".😁

[@pianoekket]

Even though it's on spotify for me nowadays, he gets me through my miles too! Been loving ccr for 30 years now

[@mt0115]

When some of us say music from the 60s and 70s is the best, this was yet another example of that.

[@lowellwebster4198]

I like how Amber listens to music, she closes her eyes and feels it. I've noticed that in other reactions too.

[@richb313]

John Fogerty now lives in Louisiana where Vodou is still practiced but not publicly acknowledged so even though he wasn't born here he ended up here.

[@Festvangelist]

That Guitar Jam was the SPELL being executed and you feel it, you can’t escape it’s power, then the last 1 minute + was the letting the recipient know the curse or spell has been executed and you have the spell on you …so you better stop those things you do or I am warning you I’ll bring you down. They did not write but they took this Song to be considered a true Masterpiece. Legendary !!!

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

Well said, you nailed it!👍✌️

[@toddholmes2290]

One of the best cover versions of any song, full stop 🛑. Great band, great reaction. 😊

[@phoenixmichaels]

John said he developed his unique voice from playing in small clubs and bars which had completely inadequate sound systems. He had to scream to be heard, and it became his style.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

"I developed a scream in Portland."

[@oldtimer7635]

Born in 1963, this amazing music was right there when we were growing up, thank you Mr John Fogerty! : )

[@GratefulZen]

Just a suggestion from a 71 year old lover of rock and roll… like you’ve done here please react to the original studio versions (if you can) because that’s how many of us were introduced to this great music. Then you can go back and react to suggested live versions. Thanks, y’all are doing a great job going down the rabbit hole!

[@slimpickins9124]

Credence did a lot of original music& a lot of covers, this is by far their best cover.

[@TigerRogers0660]

Totally agree. Best by a long way.

[@alrivers2297]

My favorite covers of theirs are I Heard it Though the Grapvine, Midnight Special and Susie Q

[@slimpickins9124]

[@love-vy1ry]

Creedence

[@taragreenetarotastro]

The guitar work is amazing, its aciditc WOW and John Fogarty's voice is the best he is also the one playing lead guitar. Yes Angelina Jordan's version at 9 years old is mind-blowing, Annie Lennox also did an amazing version.

[@swamprocker5776]

John Fogerty’s song writing (though this was a great cover), voice and lead guitar work made Creedence Clearwater Revival!

[@doncourtreporter]

After seeing you two groove like that, now I'm "shook." You both are cool. You're hip. Ha. We missed you in the '60s and '70s.

[@thomasgruseck7971]

That debut CCR album was just one big jam session, with versions of "Suzy Q" and "Heard it Through the Grapevine" that went on for over 10 minutes each.

[@jefffogertymusic2023]

Grapevine tho was on their 5th album, Cosmo's Factory. 🤗🤗🤗

[@gistechrep3816]

@@jefffogertymusic2023 'Grapevine' is the best!!

[@KebabMusicLtd]

Only Suzy Q on their first album was an eight minute 'jam.' The rest of the tracks were standard length rock songs. Porterville possibly being the stand out radio friendly track. The second album was a bit more of a jam-fest but contained the song 'Proud Mary' that would finally bring them the international recognition they deserved.

[@trudywolfe2795]

John not only has that great voice, but his guitar solo was amazing.!!!!!!

[@P.Galore]

CCR was huge in the early 70's....the audio is fantastic by the way.

[@joemaldonado9231]

The ONLY version that did any justice to Screamin Jay’s spooky classic. Wicked, wicked, WICKED!!!

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

This is the first version of the song that I ever heard, back in the late 1960s. I had no idea that it wasn't the original, until I heard Angelina Jordan's version in April of 2021, and so learned of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins original. Musically, I still prefer this version. But Angelina's version is undeniably the most stunning, given the age at which she performed the song.

[@carlosfigueiredo7876]

Guys, it's more than time for you to check out CCR "Suzi Q" (8 minutes version) and "Walk on the water". Also John Fogerty "Eye of the zombie".

[@cree878]

CCR are fantastic 😊

[@dagmar.6954]

CCR has always been one of my favorite groups. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great. You guys have done a few of there songs already but lots left such as "Proud Mary", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through The Jungle", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.

[@jackbrooks5487]

I love their cover of Lead Belly's (Hovie Ledbetter) prison song Midnight Special. You should have a listen to Voodoo Hand by Lightning Hopkins. It's one man and one guitar playing the blues.

[@patrickquinlan3056]

That rapid fire rhythm guitar is identical to the guitar work of the brilliant Arthur Lee from the late 60s Californian band called Love. I think that CCR got that from Love, a band well worth checking out.

[@christinaholliday9886]

I was born 1956 ! Grew up with great music! I loved it all , rock , blues , jazz , soul , country , disco , all instrumental, classic and don't forget the crooner's! Thanks again for letting this ole 66 yrs old gal remember great 👍 times!

In 1972 I won a contest through local radio station KMET, L.A. - I received two tickets to the glass-bottom boat ride to and from Catalina Island, 26 miles across the Pacific from Long Beach. The boat was hired for the multiple contest winners by the station. The captain of the boat taped a transistor radio to the small boat's P.A. and KMET dedicated a song to everybody on the boat and the captain cranked the radio. I had taken some excellent LSD as the boat left Long Beach and I was peaking right as I Put a Spell On You came on the radio, full blast (CCR version) and I was so ready for it. It felt like a lifetime of transcendent blues.
