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.
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.
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 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.
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!! 😁
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....
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 😉!
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!
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!
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).
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...
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.)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
Except the album called Mardi Grass. The other band members wanted to sing instead of John F. The pooped all over the place. After that JF didnt want to be with them anymore .. Ever.
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.
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.
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
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.
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..
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.
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'
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! ❤
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.
I have their Cosmos Factory album on vinyl back from when it first came out... so many great songs on it from "I heard it through the Grapevine", "Travelling Band", "As long as I can see the light", "Run through the jungle" , "Looking out my backdoor", "Who'll stop the rain?", "Ooby Dooby", "Up around the Bend" to the jamming "Ramble Tamble". This album would go on the turntable and the party would start rocking out! But my absolute favourite is "Down on the Corner" and you cannot stop tapping your feet!
CCR was from El Cerrito, CA. This is just east of San Francisco on Interstate 80. I grew up in Sacramento County from 1952 on. CCR was OUR BAND. Lodi is just sought by Sacramento on Highway 99. The Sacramento Delt is 100 miles of waterways and sloughs, very much like Louisiana in a way. We used to go catfishing at night in the summer, etc.
CCR is one of my all time faves! Have you heard Bad Moon Rising? If not, that's one of their most popular and it's great, but everything they do is awesome.
CCR was my father's favorite band. I got my love of all genres of music from home but CCR was his favorite. Every one of their songs reminds me of him. Love seeing people react to a band that brought him so much happiness

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.
@@the_original_public_newsense absolutely!!🤘🤘🤘
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
Not only is John a great singer but also a fantastic Guitarist
one of my favorite groups when I was a teen
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 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.
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 was also born in '52. I saw Janis Joplin, Buffalo Springfield... Yes, we had the BEST music!
This band is AMAZING 🔥🔥
This is what you lose out on when people say certain music only belongs to certain cultures.

Facts
Agree! They were my dad's favorite, my second. So fun to sing to with a air 🎸 too 🤭🎙🤍
Don Henley had solo career as well. Had a tape of him.
CCR was FIRE back then. Still listen to them.
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....
But $3.50 was a lot then.
JOHN FOGARTY IS STILL SINGING AND PERFORMING TODAY!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I HAVE LOVED HIM SINCE I WAS 18 YRS OLD .. THATS 40 YEARS!!!!!!!!
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.
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 Forgery IS the pulse,writer and mastermind of Credence.if you can see John perform solo, that's the concert your looking for 😉
just mentioned I only ever called them Creedence . So glad u did the same. Who was calling them CCR??😄
@@missd9785 I've known a lot of people over several decades who called them CCR.
Yes, I've heard that recently but not back in the day. Don't doubt it but wasn't in my friend group@@MatthewC137

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
Top 5 band of all time and John’s voice…. Just spectacular.
This was late 60’s to early 70’s and everything they did was just great…..
I'm so damn happy you got to this one! Beautiful! Blissful! Blast from the past! Nothing compares
Two brothers, John Fogerty (lead vocals, lead guitar, principal songwriter) & Tom Fogerty (rhythm guitar). Stu Cook on bass, Doug Clifford on drums.
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😊❤
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...
One of the best ever! My dad loved this band and introduced me to them. He passed in June and nothing reminds me more of him than CCR!! ❤

The Night Time is the Right Time is another soulful tune they do. Yeah. Peace

Not 1 of the CCR boys has ever played in BTO
John Fogarty , such an iconic voice . Can't be mistaken for anyone else.
CCR " run through the jungle"
There are quite a few Viet Nam helicopter/action shots that use CCR music. Very dynamic!

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!
You will never see these kind of talented musicians live again, the bands today don’t excite me like those from my ERA.
Exactly...no sound engineers, no auto tune, perfection.
That was remarkable! My first time hearing this song, and I'm in my 70s.

2 of my favorites are “Bad Moon Rising” and “Looking Out My Back Door”.
You NEVER talk over a great guitar solo like his!
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
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.
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.
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 ❤❤❤❤
John Fogarty (singer), still tours.
John Fogarty not only sings the lead vocals but hes the one on that magnificent guitar solo
AMAZING! AWSOME voice, keyboards, energy. I'm so glad I lived in the 70s. Thanks, BP!
There is no keyboards on this one
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..
john and his kids blasted us all some great tunes here on the yootubes during the recent covid unpleasantness .....
thanks fam !!!!!
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.
Fogerty was a god. The consummate musician's musician. Knows music inside out and upside down. In addition to being phenomenally talented.
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'
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 love CCR
I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE.
There is a bad moon rising is hot. Everyone was singing this baby and still comes up on some
Movies
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.
Green River and Bad Moon Rising are killer songs from CCR. Love your reactions and comments.
This is how this song SHOULD be sung, with passion and pain. Brilliant.
Marvin Gaye, "Inner city blues." Top shelf.
This song is from their first studio album
I have their Cosmos Factory album on vinyl back from when it first came out... so many great songs on it from "I heard it through the Grapevine", "Travelling Band", "As long as I can see the light", "Run through the jungle" , "Looking out my backdoor", "Who'll stop the rain?", "Ooby Dooby", "Up around the Bend" to the jamming "Ramble Tamble". This album would go on the turntable and the party would start rocking out!
But my absolute favourite is "Down on the Corner" and you cannot stop tapping your feet!
Love CCR, love everything they did.
CCR was from El Cerrito, CA. This is just east of San Francisco on Interstate 80. I grew up in Sacramento County from 1952 on. CCR was OUR BAND. Lodi is just sought by Sacramento on Highway 99. The Sacramento Delt is 100 miles of waterways and sloughs, very much like Louisiana in a way. We used to go catfishing at night in the summer, etc.
CCR is one of my all time faves! Have you heard Bad Moon Rising? If not, that's one of their most popular and it's great, but everything they do is awesome.
Saw them twice, and the were one of the MOST well rehearsed bands I ever heard ( and I've seen HUNDREDS) and the were AWESOME !!
CCR was my father's favorite band. I got my love of all genres of music from home but CCR was his favorite. Every one of their songs reminds me of him. Love seeing people react to a band that brought him so much happiness
