Not only is "Proud Mary" a CCR original it was also written by CCR. It was first released by CCR and reached No. 2 in 1969 on the Billboard Top 100. Tina Turner version was released 1971 and hit No.4 on Billboard Top 100. And now the song is constantly heard today's Got Talent, The Voice, X-Factor and all other talent shows world wide. It has to be considered one of the most popular songs of all time.

This song was covered twice in 1969 by Solomon Burke as well as the Checkmates, then in 1970 by Ike & Tina Turner, the original band who recorded it back in 1968 is John Fogerty and his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the golden icons of swamp rock. There's still plenty more where that come from, like "Commotion", "Susie Q", "Run Through The Jungle", "Travelin' Band", "Sweet Hitch- Hiker", "Long As I Can See The Light", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Hey Tonight" "Someday Never Comes" and "Lodi". Rock on with the CCR take over! You're awesome guys!

[@edithmaxim2041]

You need to watch a live video with John fogerty. He was celebrating his 50 years in music 2 years ago. He now travels just under the name of John fogerty. After all he was "the Voice" of CCR and he wrote most all their songs.

So many people mistakenly believe this is Tina Turner's song but it isn't. John Fogerty wrote it and I much prefer the original from CCR to Tina's cover.

[@arlaabrell8658]

I like them both because they are both good - a lot of people didn't realize it was CCR's song first, they both did it in their own way.

[@mildredpierce4506]

It’s probably because they heard her version first. That’s true for any cover. If that’s the one you heard first, you assume it’s the original version. I heard Hey Jude by the Temptations before I knew it was a Beatles song.

CCR are from the San Fransisco area. They simply liked the Louisiana style of music. It is hard to believe anyone has not heard "Proud Mary" before. Virtually anyone in the English speaking world can sing the song for you. And 90% of those in the non English speaking world, too. This song came out in the late 1960s and has never disappeared from radio. 🎸💘😉

Live from the Oakland Coliseum January 1970 if I'm not mistaken. There's a clip on youtube of them playing "Keep on Chooglin'" at that same concert. Fire! John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford all grew up in El Cerrito, California, south of Richmond, north of Berkeley, ten miles north of Oakland as the crow flies. "Proud Mary" is ranked at number 39 on VH1's "100 Greatest Rock Songs" list, according to Dave Tompkins' Music Database.

[@jmweed1861]

CCR was from El Cerido, California. John Fogerty wrote this song in about an hour after he got his discharge from the Army Reserve. This IS a Creedance Clearwater Revival song, the others , like Ike and Tina Turner just covered it. But, they Do NOT, give it the Southern Feeling and the whole music ( guitars and drums) are played to give the feeling of a Steamboat going down the Mississippi River. Next do "Commotion" it is the B side to "Bad Moon Rising". All Creedance 45s were released as Double Sided Hits. The Only Group to Release more were The Beatles.
