From Louisiana here too, but this band is from central California. They have lots of other great songs as well. In their tree year recording career, it's difficult to find a single song of theirs that hasn't been played on radio over the past 50 years and still counting. I love the originals, but their covers of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" and "I put a spell on you" are all time favorites of mine. Oh yeah, and don't forget that they're the ones that wrote "Proud Mary" that Tina Turner covered and put her on the map.

@@collettedobrocke5585 As per Wikipedia "hoodoo" says... Hoodoo is a set of spiritual practices, traditions, and beliefs created by enslaved Africans in North America that were held in secret from slaveholders. Hoodoo evolved from various traditional African religions and practices, and in the American South, incorporated various elements of indigenous botanical knowledge. In the Gullah South Carolina Lowcountry, Hoodoo is also known as "Lowcountry Voodoo." Following the Great Migration of African-Americans, Hoodoo spread throughout the United States. Practitioners of Hoodoo are called rootworkers, conjure doctors, conjure man or conjure woman, and Hoodoo doctors. Regional synonyms for hoodoo include conjure or rootwork. Background Approximately 388,000 enslaved Africans from various ethnic groups were transported to North America from the 17th to 19th centuries as part of the transatlantic slave trade. They were Kongo, Igbo, Akan, Mandé, Yoruba, Fon, Ewe, and Fulbe, among many others. After the arrival of diverse African ethnic groups to the United States, Hoodoo was created by enslaved African Americans for their spiritual survival as a form of resistance against slavery. "Because the African American community did not have the same medical or psychological aids as the European American society, its members were forced to rely on each other for survival." As a result, free and enslaved African Americans relied on Hoodoo for their protection.

You two kids are adorable, and it's so gratifying for an old geezer like me to see that you recognize the enduring power of classic rock when you hear it. Other CCR tunes you should check out (all written by John Fogerty) include: Proud Mary, Green River, Lodi, Keep on Chooglin', Down on the Corner, It Came Out of the Sky, Travelin' Band, Up Around the Bend, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Who'll Stop the Rain, Long As I Can See the Light, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Hey Tonight, Sweet Hitchhiker, Someday Never Comes. Then listen to John Fogerty's solo tunes (every bit as good), including: Rockin' All Over the World, Centerfield, Rock & Roll Girls, Southern Streamline, Hot Rod Heart, 110 in the Shade, The Old Man Down the Road, Big Train (from Memphis), Sugar Sugar, I Will Walk with You, The Joy of My Life, Change in the Weather, Almost Saturday Night, Don't You Wish It Was True, Mystic Highway, Weepin' in the Promised Land. There -- that should keep you two busy for a while -- and in throes of ecstasy!

Fogarty's blues edge incorporated into the Rock tempo is brilliant. The guitar is molten rock. No one can sample their music and make it sound like this.

Jay, to be fair to Amber, the band WASN'T called "CCR" until relatively recently. Growing up, we referred to them as "Creedence" for short. That might be more recognizable to her...

@@williamh4172 - OK, perhaps where you lived it was common to say "CCR", but I think that was the exception and not the rule. Like, I don't think they were being called CCR in the papers or on TV, but maybe I just don't remember. 🤷♀️

Diana I'm looking at their 1969 concert poster from Woodstock and they were billed as "CCR." I've never heard anyone just call them Creedence but both probably developed because people are lazy.

Folks, when I was growing up on a farm in swamp country of southeastern NC in the 50s and 60s we called this, "shuffle boogie", because it gets your feet to shuffling, not shaking all over and high energy dance but a shuffle like taking a stroll in the park on a warm, sunny spring day sipping on a cold beer and twirling your baby around and around.

Bad Moon On The Rise and Run Through the Jungle are my favs by CCR, although I loved almost all they did. They are considered a southern rock band I believe. They were not a country band. They did a lot of Vietnam protest songs and also some of their music was put to Vietnam War footage video. Check it out. There were a lot of war protest songs during the 60s and 70s so keep that in mind. A lot of bands made protest songs that were very popular. I have just started following your squad but have been watching you on KZbin for quite a while. You have posted some of the best bands and singers from that era and IMO was the best era of music of all time. CCR was an extremely popular band and had many #1 hits. Great Band.

Love CCR!!! Thanks for revisiting them. If you want to hear the best banjo playing check out Earl Scruggs. He and comedian Steve Martin (members of Men With Banjos Who Know How To Use Them) played Foggy Mt. Breakdown on Letterman. Taylor Swift won a Country Music Award with the song MEAN playing banjo. Cowbell--Blue Oyster Cult DON'T FEAR THE REAPER (of course!) and ROLLING STONES HONKY TONK WOMEN

My dad when he was in Vietnam in 1968. He met some guys from the Bayou. And they got into CCR. The songs tell a story. And when they came out. They thought they were from New Orleans. But they were from California. They paved the way for Southern Country Rock like 38 Special, Lyndard Skynard The Black Crowes, and Travis Tritt.
