Old Man Down the Road was the solo song John Fogerty got sued over by whoever owned the rights to the CCR catalog. It's very similar musically to Run Through the Jungle. Fogerty won on the basis that he wrote both songs.
Yea thats about the only recent song he does that I like. He took the sound country much more than rock and he lost me there. But yea CCR was my first favorite Rock band. I found much of the music (not all) before them way too vanilla. CCR and Led Zeppelin all the way.
Really happy to have been born in '52 saw and heard the best groups/artists,.. makes getting old much more fun when I can relive the first 4 decades, We really did have the BEST MUSIC ever back then.. thanks for reacting
My dad born in 53. Raised me on this music. He loves John Fogerty. A few years back he toured with ZZ Top before Dusty Hill died. They came to St Augustine FL. I’m a truck driver so I couldn’t be there but I bought my Dad pretty much the best seat in the house and absolutely went even though he was alone. I just felt it needed to be done cause we never know if it’s going to be the last chance to see him. But Fogerty with ZZ Top I just thought what a match up and show. So a gift that my dad cherishes. We’re both getting u; in age now so when the opportunity is there, gotta do it.
The incredible thing is, they came out with 3 albums in an 18 month period, with so many hits. They were only a full band for a few years, but had so many top 40 hits. Band was actually started in high school by older brother Tom, and he asked John to come in and play. John quickly became lead singer, lead guitarist, and lead song writer. Then they all had a falling out because John felt their producer was ripping them off. John then got sued for playing his own songs and "Sounding too much like himself"
It blew my mind when I found out how short their active career was. I'd always assumed they were around a lot longer, based on how many instantly recognizable songs were on their greatest hits albums.

You could spend a whole year reacting to all of their songs! Their discography goes so deep! Not to mention all of John Fogerty's solo career!! I could give u a whole list but it would be a mile long, so I'm just going to give u 1 of my favorite songs from CCR, and 1 from John solo....CCR - Long as I can see the light....John Fogerty - A hundred and ten in the shade! Happy listening!! 😁
AMEN Brother! I saw John twice at the Hard Rock in Tulsa twice! What a show he put on both times! Needless to say, lookin around, there were no "teeney boppers" around for both shows 😉!
I've heard a lot of people perform this song and this version is still my favorite. Just as a comment, Creedence was my first live rock concert. I remember it being as wonderful as you might imagine - and it cost me $3.50 per ticket in 1969....
I love seeing younger people discovering the music of my life. I was born in 56 answer started going to concerts at 12 years old and saw sooooo many greats in all genres! Enjoy!
You should go down the CCR rabbit hole and explore their history. Way too much to go into here but, John Fogerty (lead singer/songwriter) went through hell to get his songs back from his CCR days and recently succeeded. He refused to play them for decades. He is currently touring with his sons who are also amazing musicians. We went and saw him at the end of last year and he is doing all the old CCR hits among some of his solo hits, and is still absolutely amazing. If you can, you should go see this legend. You will not be disappointed.
The lead singer song writer and vocalist John Fogerty still performs concerts. At near 80 and still rocks the guitar and vocals. now he travels with his kids as well as other musicians.
John and Tom were brothers, and yes, they were all teens together. They called their first band, The Gollywogs. John's signature plaid shirt was just what many of us guys in the region wore most of the year (except summer). I still wear them most of the year (except summer).
Creedence Clearwater Revival, American rock band that was hugely popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Derided by many rock critics at the time as merely a “singles” band, Creedence Clearwater Revival proved to be masters at making thoughtful records that sold. The members were John Fogerty (b. May 28, 1945, Berkeley, Calif., U.S.), Tom Fogerty (b. Nov. 9, 1941, Berkeley-d. Sept. 6, 1990, Scottsdale, Ariz.), Stu Cook (b. April 25, 1945, Oakland, Calif.), and Doug Clifford (b. April 24, 1945, Palo Alto, Calif.)
I've read that Screaming Jay Hawkins who wrote and first recorded "I Put a Spell on You" was quoted as saying that CCR's version was the best that he had ever heard...
The band has a long, icky history. But the great John Fogarty (singer) still tours. Voice is not quite like this, but he does all the hits. And his two grown sons tour with him. Best time I've had at a concert in a long time. This was several years ago.
These guys wrote perfect little gems, but it was these longer jams when they cut loose John Fogerty's guitar for a bit that always stood out to me. The fact that his guitar playing stands next to that amazing voice is actually crazy. His voice, his guitar playing, and his songwriting were all at an 11. As well loved as these guys are, I'd say they're still under rated. Similar to Sabbath in that regard - they were truly special.
Since I was a young teenager, I've loved Creedievnce. Lead Singer has the best critty, soulful i've ever heard. I'm 71 now, never stopped listening to my music!
Because of their Bay Area accent, I always think of my departed brother when I hear CCR. The band broke up and then Tom Fogerty passed away. Jon Fogerty fought for decades to break away from the label that insisted they owned his voice.
TRIVIA:: Creedence Clearwater Revival ... were progressive and anachronistic at the same time. An unapologetic throwback to the golden era of rock and roll, they broke ranks with their peers on the progressive, psychedelic San Francisco scene. Their approach was basic and uncompromising, holding true to the band members' working-class origins. The term "roots rock" had not yet been invented when Creedence came along, but in essence, they defined it, drawing inspiration from the likes of Little Richard, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and the artisans of soul at Motown and Stax. In so doing, Creedence Clearwater Revival became the standard bearers and foremost celebrants of homegrown American music.
Yes. JohnFogerty is still touring. Saw him a couple years back and he still gots it. He spent decades lost in legal battles and depression but he is finally living his best life! Also have you seen Tina cover his soung proud mary? Her 60s live version is iconic but her 90s live version is off the rails..
he sings like an original southern black blues man not a white geezer his solo stuff is mint as well, I would recommend 'oldman down the road' for a listen
I was a teenager from 65 to 72 heard all the great artists, there will never be such diversity in music again. The group broke up and got back together and broke up because the others thought John was stealing the limelight, then Tom Fogerty passed away. That was pretty much the end.
John Fogerty is still touring and he basically was Creedence Clearwater Revival. Just Google his tour schedule. He plays in Las Vegas all the time. I have seen him twice in Las Vegas and once in Napa Valley up in northern California.
Part of one of the incarnations CCR had musicians that went on to play in Bachmann-Turner Overdrive (BTO) which was formed from The Guess Who. which had some rockers in the day. The original CCR was done dirty by their management and label.
CCR, for the short time it existed, was one of the biggest rock bands out there. You've definitely heard Fortunate Son somewhere in your life, but you should react to it all the same. Bad Moon Rising is my personal favorite, so there's another option.
CCR is one of the most underrated classic rock bands. They put out a lot of great music in less than 4 years. My personal favorite is “ Long as I can see the light
Amusing to watch “youngsters” watch and listen to music that we “old” folks in our 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s rocked out to in our youth…and perhaps still do. Yes, we were young once.
Though I am 61 now, it's worth it bc I grew up in the best music of all time! The talent was amazing and gimmicks weren't necessary at all, just to see your favorite artists live was enough!
It's encouraging and heartwarming to see that someone of your generation can hear and appreciate the artistry, skill and passion of these performers of the 60s & 70s. It was a time of great creativity and those of us who lived through it hope that it will inspire you all to reach even higher. PEACE OUT!
There was so many bands back in 60's and 70's that was so great and put on good shows I'm glad i grew up in that era listening to it at bonfires in the country back roads smoken left handed cigarette and drinking beer i can close my eyes now and picture in my mind all the good times of my youth
I was so lucky to be able to have seen CCR 3 times from 1968-72, when they broke up. John, the singer/songwriter/lead guitarist tried to buy back his songs that he wrote from the label. Back in those days artists signed over the copyrights to the labels, only way they could get signed. John quit the label, which broke up the band, who just wanted to perform. It caused a riff between John and his older brother Tom. John waited out the length of the copyrights (20 years) and then got his music back. I had a ticket to see him in 2022, but show was cancelled due to unscheduled eye surgery? He’s still on my bucket list to see one more time. My nickname given to me by the guy I was dating in college was SusieQ, there first big hit! The first time I heard John’s voice, I thought he was a good ole Southern boy, but no, he was a good ole Central Valley California boy, from Modesto? My favorite CCR song, which is still relevant today is Fortunate Son.
CCR's - "I Put A Spell On You"... Santana's - " Got A Black Magic Woman"... & ... Redbone's - "The Witch Queen, Of New Orleans"... Are all singing about the same woman. 🤯
I HAD to take two music history classes in college so I took Rock and Jazz. They were the best classes I took. They teacher had us buy the Times CDs, we went Thursday the hits from the beginning of times.
Have you heard Marvin Gaye sing the Beatles Yesterday? I consider it the best Beatles cover. I love Motown and the Beatles, and Marvin Gaye especially, so it is a total win for me. I hope you can react to it, It's magnificent. PS I only heard it a few years ago for the first time and I nearly fell off my chair. Where had it been for all these years???!!!!
Band grew up together in the Bay Area, John (lead singer, guitarist) and Tim Fogerty (guitarist) are brothers. Basically invented the Swamp Rock genre. The group broke up in the early 70's. John is still going strong today.
One of the greatest bands of that time period. Boys straight outta CA even though the music had the bluesy, swamp sound. CA was the largest music scene of that time. Was still producing major bands and artists thru the 90’s. Such a shame most artists today don’t play instruments.
64 yo lady and long time subscriber here, watching you react to my generation of music makes living in todays world a little better. Watched your Tom Jones with CSN and Neil Young on the Tom Jones show yesterday too, fantastic reaction. Thanks! ❤
I remember those days, I was entered high school' we lived in a small town, we had maybe 15,000 our population back then, this was in the late 60s, you really couldn't go anywhere, it would be playing on the CCR weekend, their music would be playing, well more like blasting out loud' in the local grocery stores, restaurants, I loved them all' especially the song, " down on the corner, well it was bigger town than castle rock' from the movie stand by me" to me it was a pretty small town at the time' CCR was at top.list. it's a shame they broke up'
Two of them are brothers, the lead singer/lead guitar player and the rhythm guitarist. The Fogertys. New Orleans style blues/rock done to perfection. John Fogerty is still performing.
Best example of “ BLUE EYED Funk and Soul !! “
Swamp rock with blues and Cajun seasoning performed by geniuses.
(From Californians)
YEP!😊✌
Yes, and they were from the bay area in cali.
Dr.John next
Good one
Pure GENIUS!!!! We had the best music in the 60's, 70's and 80's!!!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🎧🎹🥁🥁🥁🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
absolutely !!!!
80s can't hold a candle to 70s. To much bad music between the good.
Yes we did 👍
We were the luckiest generation in history. Music wise anyway.
@@theoriginalpublicnewsense absolutely!!🤘🤘🤘
No one did this tune better than CCR… NO ONE!
Don't be stupid, there's only one version and that's Screamin' Jay Hawkins'.
@@rcmysm9123 CCR does it better… stupid!
@@rcmysm9123
...and Nina Simone
...and Annie Lennox
...and Angelina Jordan
@@jhiieri7812
This ain't the trinity, one means one!
Angelina Jordan's version when she was 9 years old is the best. Screaming Jay Hawkin's original version is unique.
The band has been broke up for a long time, but John Fogarty (lead singer and guitarist) is still playing. Check out "The Old Man Down the Road".
No auto-tune; pure talent and pure voice.
Old Man Down the Road was the solo song John Fogerty got sued over by whoever owned the rights to the CCR catalog. It's very similar musically to Run Through the Jungle. Fogerty won on the basis that he wrote both songs.
Yea thats about the only recent song he does that I like. He took the sound country much more than rock and he lost me there. But yea CCR was my first favorite Rock band. I found much of the music (not all) before them way too vanilla. CCR and Led Zeppelin all the way.
Great recommendation
Blue Boy on the Swamp album is a great tune too.
One of my favorite songs from CCR with a ton of soul is “Long as I can see the light”. Give me chills every time I listen to it
My favorite song of theirs!
@@sherribrock2726 mine too.
The song is one of my favorites along with "Run through the Jungle". Both of the songs are great and his voice is certainly made for them.
Yes that song gives me chills every time i hear it
This is what you lose out on when people say certain music only belongs to certain cultures.
Amen 👍
Really happy to have been born in '52 saw and heard the best groups/artists,.. makes getting old much more fun when I can relive the first 4 decades, We really did have the BEST MUSIC ever back then.. thanks for reacting
It was better to be 20 in the 70s than 70 in the 20s. I was there.
Agree! Born in '51!
What group have I not heard that I have that you have (born in April 1953)?
My dad born in 53. Raised me on this music. He loves John Fogerty. A few years back he toured with ZZ Top before Dusty Hill died. They came to St Augustine FL. I’m a truck driver so I couldn’t be there but I bought my Dad pretty much the best seat in the house and absolutely went even though he was alone.

We’re both getting u; in age now so when the opportunity is there, gotta do it.
I was also born in '52. I saw Janis Joplin, Buffalo Springfield... Yes, we had the BEST music!
The incredible thing is, they came out with 3 albums in an 18 month period, with so many hits. They were only a full band for a few years, but had so many top 40 hits. Band was actually started in high school by older brother Tom, and he asked John to come in and play. John quickly became lead singer, lead guitarist, and lead song writer. Then they all had a falling out because John felt their producer was ripping them off. John then got sued for playing his own songs and "Sounding too much like himself"
Also John went to court and played for the court to show how his songs from CCR and his solo songs were indeed different.
It blew my mind when I found out how short their active career was. I'd always assumed they were around a lot longer, based on how many instantly recognizable songs were on their greatest hits albums.
CCR was FIRE back then. Still listen to them.
Not only is John a great singer but also a fantastic Guitarist
John is still out there playing all these songs today 2024
And this is just another reason why CCR will be etched in stone in the baby boomers memories who grew up in the '60s and '70s😊❤
one of my favorite groups when I was a teen
More Creedence Clearwater Revival please ! They have no bad songs, none

Don Henley had solo career as well. Had a tape of him.

In my humble opinion, one of the very best covers of this awesome song.
This isn't a cover. CCR is the original band who did this song.
I believe "Screaming Jay" Hawkins wrote and performed this originally back in the 50's.
The lead singer song writer and vocalist John Fogerty still performs concerts. At near 80 and still rocks the guitar and vocals. now he travels with his kids as well as other musicians.
Two brothers, John Fogerty (lead vocals, lead guitar, principal songwriter) & Tom Fogerty (rhythm guitar). Stu Cook on bass, Doug Clifford on drums.
I am 67, but when driving cross country, at night, just me and the road, their greatest hits is on full blast with bass cranked up! Greatest band ever
One of the best bands of the 60s & 70s by far. They have a large catalog of fantastic music you need to dive into.
John and Tom were brothers, and yes, they were all teens together. They called their first band, The Gollywogs. John's signature plaid shirt was just what many of us guys in the region wore most of the year (except summer). I still wear them most of the year (except summer).

Part of one of the incarnations CCR had musicians that went on to play in Bachmann-Turner Overdrive (BTO) which was formed from The Guess Who. which had some rockers in the day. The original CCR was done dirty by their management and label.
I didn't know that
Not 1 of the CCR boys has ever played in BTO

Born in 49, loved growing up with the best music on earth.
Born in 56, so I grew up in the 60s. Still listen to CCR. They were freaking fantastic.
And THAT's how you arrange a song & play it to perfection. What a singer & what a band!! Together they are insane. Amazing talents all around.
"Fortunate son" def worth a listen
This is how this song SHOULD be sung, with passion and pain. Brilliant.
Amusing to watch “youngsters” watch and listen to music that we “old” folks in our 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s rocked out to in our youth…and perhaps still do. Yes, we were young once.

Though I am 61 now, it's worth it bc I grew up in the best music of all time! The talent was amazing and gimmicks weren't necessary at all, just to see your favorite artists live was enough!

Such power reflects the spirit that created it channeled by the soul.

Yes one of my favorite bands. The soul is so Amazing❤
Love your channel. Believe you have an old soul. The music I grew up to will never be duplicated. Keep the oldies coming ❤
Thanks for doing this. I haven't heard this in years. Welcome to the 70's music.
I thought this was Jim Morrison but the screen is dark and I can't tell...gonna watch again. Wow it is credence ! He's soulful as they come ❤❤❤❤
Agreed chealsea. BP hasn't touched his big rip into this band they were so influential for most modern Rock and metal bands

You NEVER talk over a great guitar solo like his!
Fogerty was a god. The consummate musician's musician. Knows music inside out and upside down. In addition to being phenomenally talented.

He is still performing... saw him in Arizona last year. great show. He is another tour this year. try to catch him. Will not disapoint.
I HAD to take two music history classes in college so I took Rock and Jazz. They were the best classes I took. They teacher had us buy the Times CDs, we went Thursday the hits from the beginning of times.
That was remarkable! My first time hearing this song, and I'm in my 70s.
Amazing band for sure and amazing reaction. You have to do fortunate son. You have heard it in many Vietnam movies. Straight fire as always black P!
Seeing CCR Live was Eyes and Ear Candy for Me! I've Seen them a few times In my Life. ✌😊
Have you heard Marvin Gaye sing the Beatles Yesterday? I consider it the best Beatles cover. I love Motown and the Beatles, and Marvin Gaye especially, so it is a total win for me. I hope you can react to it, It's magnificent. PS I only heard it a few years ago for the first time and I nearly fell off my chair. Where had it been for all these years???!!!!
Sounds interesting, I am going to give it is listen now tx for mentioning this
John Fogarty not only sings the lead vocals but hes the one on that magnificent guitar solo
John Fogarty (singer), still tours.
There is a bad moon rising is hot. Everyone was singing this baby and still comes up on some
Movies
Marvin Gaye, "Inner city blues." Top shelf.
Band grew up together in the Bay Area, John (lead singer, guitarist) and Tim Fogerty (guitarist) are brothers. Basically invented the Swamp Rock genre. The group broke up in the early 70's. John is still going strong today.
A GREAT band!
One of the greatest bands of that time period. Boys straight outta CA even though the music had the bluesy, swamp sound. CA was the largest music scene of that time. Was still producing major bands and artists thru the 90’s. Such a shame most artists today don’t play instruments.
Probably the greatest band EVA
64 yo lady and long time subscriber here, watching you react to my generation of music makes living in todays world a little better. Watched your Tom Jones with CSN and Neil Young on the Tom Jones show yesterday too, fantastic reaction. Thanks! ❤
I remember those days, I was entered high school' we lived in a small town, we had maybe 15,000 our population back then, this was in the late 60s, you really couldn't go anywhere, it would be playing on the CCR weekend, their music would be playing, well more like blasting out loud' in the local grocery stores, restaurants, I loved them all' especially the song, " down on the corner, well it was bigger town than castle rock' from the movie stand by me" to me it was a pretty small town at the time' CCR was at top.list. it's a shame they broke up'
AMAZING! AWSOME voice, keyboards, energy. I'm so glad I lived in the 70s. Thanks, BP!
There is no keyboards on this one
Two of them are brothers, the lead singer/lead guitar player and the rhythm guitarist. The Fogertys. New Orleans style blues/rock done to perfection. John Fogerty is still performing.
This was my band and music growing up in the 60's and early 70's.
There are quite a few Viet Nam helicopter/action shots that use CCR music. Very dynamic!
Love CCR, love everything they did.
This is one of the best performances of this song. He's got the voice and damn good guitarist too.
