One of the greatest shocks of my life happened in my 30s, as a Cajun myself when I found out that CCR had never stepped foot in Louisiana, and were in fact a bunch of hippies from California. Yet, this song is perfection.
They are from ( CANADA) and the song American Women, was going to be a ❤love song. But American women were at his door. And in his head, so that is what came out, a great song..
My family is as Cajun as can be. Even though these boys came from Cali, their music is still accepted down in south Louisiana. Of course this is a classic.
No lie, CCR rolled out the hits one after the other with their unmistakable sound and unmistakable voice of John Fogerty. I got to see them live in Detroit’s Cobo Hall, along with Tower of Power and Bo Didly. CCR Blew then away! An unforgettable night!
oh yes...they were living in the sf bay area...one hit after another and we would just wait for it...they were so good to dance to...in the 70's and 80's...san francisco was the place to be starting in the early 60's on...haight asheberry in san fran....
I remember as a young guitarist in the 80's, telling my guitar teacher I wanted to learn some Southern rock, Like Skynyrd, Allmans, CCR...... lol..my teacher said, " Creedence?? Southern Rock??..lol those Boys are as California as Disneyland"....I was shocked....he may as well told me the Beatles were from Spain
That what amazes me about Fogerty........when he wrote these songs he had never been to Louisiana and my mom is from Louisiana , born 1945, loves some CCR (but was never one to find out all of a bands info, just listen to the music and that's it) and when I told her a few years ago that CCR was from California she was shocked as I was when I first looked it up
I dunno if location matters. The southern rock sound was invented primarily by the band and everyone in The Band was Canadian save for levon. Most of the songs were written by Robbie Robertson. And Levon was from upstate NY.
@@claytonberg721 .you are incorrect.... ..Levon was raised on a cotton farm in Arkansas. not upstate new york..another co-founder, Ronnie Hawkins was also From Arkansas...thats where they got their name "the Hawks"..which they were still called during "big pink" recordings.............."the southern rock sound was invented primarily by the band"...Incorrect........LOLOLOL.... Bo Diddley, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis Marshall Tucker band Lonnie Mack were the creators of Southern Rock,....it was definitely not Jaime Klegerman ....Klegerman himself stated, about Southern Rock and the first time he went to Memphis......"To me ... going there was going to the source. Because I was at such a vulnerable age then, it made a really big impact on me. Just that I had the honor joining up with this group and then even going to this place wher the music was created.., which was close to a religious experience - even being able to put my feet on the ground there in Memphis, because I was from Canada, right? So it was like, "Woah, this is where this music grows in the ground, and [flows from] the Mississippi river. My goodness...." It very much affected my songwriting and, because I knew Levon's musicality so well, I wanted to write songs that I thought he could sing better than anybody in the world.
‘Fortunate Son’ has always been my favorite CCR!! Anybody agree?! ‘Long as I Can See the Light’ will be Jamel’s favorite.....guaranteed! Keep ‘em rolling, brother!
Songfacts: Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty, who wrote the song, had never actually been to a bayou when he wrote the song - he researched it in encyclopedias and imagined a bayou childhood for the song's narrative. Fogerty, who is from the very unswamplike Berkeley, California, got his first look at a bayou courtesy of John Fred, the one-hit wonder who sang "Judy In Disguise (with Glasses)." Fred was from Louisiana, and when Creedence played a show in Baton Rouge in 1969, he met Fogerty at a rehearsal and offered to take him to a real bayou. They drove 15 minutes to Bayou Forche, where they ate some crabs and crayfish, giving Fogerty the idea for this song.
That narrative that was copied from songfacts.com is contradictory and incorrect at least in part. How could be be inspired to write something that was written BEFORE the visit that it says inspired him? Circular - doesn't make sense. Here's a very nice article in the New Yorker with some quotes from his interview: www. newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/where-john-fogertys-songs-come-from
*I was 10 in 69 when I discovered Credence Clearwater Revival, and bought the Album "Willie and the Poor Boys" got hooked, and bought "Green River" then "Cosmo's Factory".* *So many favorites, but how about some off the wall goodness; "Run Through The Jungle" - "Commotion" - "Sinister Purpose" - "Ramble Tamble"
This song and sound is still so distinctive to this day. Can't imagine hearing this one on the radio for the first back when it was released. Like something from another planet.
My mom and dad used to lay me between a split 8 track player and blast CCR to keep me from crying back in 68. I became a drummer. Thank you mom and dad.
John Fogerty is a Vietnam Veteran. My cousin Sammy was a Vietnam Veteran and when he was on leave, he would stay with my family. He grew up with my father and he turned us on to Creedence. I was 12 years old. I remember when we would take him back to LAX for the flight back to Nam, I would be sad, He passed on a few years ago and was living in Texas at the time. I remember he looked white, and he is Mexican American. He would speak Spanish with a Texas Drawl. People would look at him and say you speak Spanish. I would laugh because when he said he was Mexican American they would be shocked because he was White and Blue eyed. Miss him dearly!!
So I’m old enough to know that this is actually on the flipside the B-side of Proud Mary which Tina Turner kind of made famous but it’s actually a CCR song
Escalera al Cielo I don’t think so I think most people consider that Tina song now just from her stage show and how was performed and it’s a specific choreography that anyone that sings that song does and it’s all Tina
YelloFattyBean I’m pretty sure John Fogerty wrote that song Ike and Tina did a cover of it a couple years after the original came out and then Tina for every concert I saw her in and every time I see her sings that song it’s one of her signature songs that she does now whether she wrote it or not
Escalera al Cielo OK I just looked it up proud Mary is a rock ‘n’ roll song written by John Fogerty and first recorded by his band Creedence Clearwater Revival Ike and Tina Turner release to cover two years later in 1971. It was recorded in 1968
John Fogerty's riffs were simple. No problem, they're still amazing and timeless. His singing was as if he had a Ibanez Tube Screamer in his throat. Legendary stuff here, Jamel.
George Harrison saw John Fogerty walk in somewhere while being praised and he said something to the effect of I'm no guitar hero, but that guy knows how to play guitar! What a compliment.
Such a great vocal by John Fogarty. I was in high school when this came out and that vocal completely hooked me. I had no idea these were Berkely suburban white kids. I bought that whole Bayou vibe hook, line, and sinker. John can still deliver it.
My mom was born and raised in Louisiana, I was born there, but dad was in the army so we moved around a lot. CCR is one of dad's favorite all time bands, mine to for that matter.
I was born on the bayou, St. Martinville, Eunice, Mamou, Gonzales, Port Vincent, Baton Rouge. I lived all over the bayou country. And yes, we use to jam to this even when I was a little stump jumpin cajun.
You might be remembering this song from the movie "Apocalypse Now". They played this song when the men were "chilling" on one of the boats that patrolled the Mekong Delta
This song has been in so many movies and TV shows...the definition of a "classic". CCR is a brilliant band, and their story is worth reviewing regarding ownership of content, they got ripped off like so many others did back then.
I mean, if you were in a band in the 60's/70's, and your contract wasn't absolute dogshit (except from your manager and label's point of view), did you even sign a contract? I remember seeing an interview with Lemmy where he said he made more money from the lyrics he wrote for Ozzy (like 3 or 4 songs) than from the first 5 (6 if you include No Sleep 'til Hammersmith) Motörhead records.
My mom passed a year and a half ago and CCR was the Only rock music she would allow to be played in the house. She was an stubborn fan of classic country music but loved CCR. Thank you for bringing back some good memories.
They merged the truly great music of the south and pure rock. They are so so soulful at the same time. Music crosses all races and genre...they were masters and so natural
"Green River" has to be my favorite (or near-favorite) CCR song and probably my top 25 songs of all time. It's just so THEM and so evocative of humid summer nights, the smell of a river in the air... Love it.
It is played in many movies about the Vietnam era. My uncle loved this song, he loved it. He served proudly as a Marine in Vietnam. Fun Fact, he was born and raised in California
@@nettiemac with John fogarty it was also the fact that his voice is so iconic, when he tried doing solo work it sounded similar to CCR... Johns voice is the most recognizable part of their sound.
It was a major copyright suit when the other members of the group sold the rights to CCR songs to another label, which later sued Fogarty on the grounds that his solo song was too similar. (Fogarty had done that deliberately to irritate the label.) As I recall, the judge found for Fogarty and had some Harsh Words for the label in that decision.
@@roberttruhn5067 The first case was Fantasy inc. V. Forgerty which he won after playing the 2 songs from the witness stand. He then sued for legal fees and which was initially denied by the 9th Circuit court. After appeals the case ended up in front of the Supreme Court which unanimously decided that the 9th Circuit erred in denying Forgery the opportunity to recover legal fees on the basis it was a copyright claim. In the end he won his case for the fees.
CCR was THE hottest American band back in the late 60s and then the greatest tidal wave of musical talent of the 70s overwhelmend them. They were still a great band but the competition was brutal.
During this crazy time , Fogerty is still making music with his family on his own youtube channel. Great stuff and he tells stories from back in the day
Hi Jamel, in case you don't know, John Fogerty was the lead singer of CCR, and he also wrote and arranged most of the songs. I highly recommend you watch the recent videos of him and his children singing these old songs for us all during this pandemic. It's so beautiful to see this legend of rock n roll jamming out with his children.
These guys have a soft spot in my heart. You would think it would be the Beatles, but there is only one band that both me and my parents really loved, and it’s these guys. Thank you CCR for wonderful childhood memories of jamming with my folks on long car rides in the 70’s!
I come from a little village in Ontario, Canada, in cottage country. Back in the 80s, suddenly the locals discovered that a man who lived in one of the cottages there was... John Fogerty. He was laying low in my back yard, wrote some songs there, hung out with some of our local musicians. I felt like we had royalty living among us. John and his kids have some great videos that they put out recently during the Covid crisis... his kids look like a younger version of the band... and they all sound great.
Creedance Clearwater Revival has that unforgettable sound of music hitting with a unique full force of talent. Their music is memorable being featured in popular movies or films.
This beat can play for an hour and still leave me asking for more. Some 15 years ago, at Green Bay Packer game day, I arrived early to Lambeau Field, and they played and extended version for what seemed like 20 minutes while Brett Favre warmed up an hour before kickoff. Brett grew up in the Bayou. It was tribute. Great day as we won the game. GO PACK GO.
Jamal, really appreciate your joy in the music. Really fun and deep at the same time. I was born in the 60s don't remember much but love CCR. Thanks for the respect and love you show the artists and subscribers. I think this was played in Forest Gump movie
This is the music that I grew up on. It’s awesome to see someone enjoy for the first time what I have loved my whole life. Keep rockin’ bud, you’re awesome! 👍
Right, for a California band John Fogerty really nailed the deep south Louisiana sound and 'feel'. We used to ply the bayous in an offshhore supply vessel occasionally, with my boom box in the wheelhouse blasting this song with the doors open, and the locals waving, dancing, and generally diggin' it!
This is one of my favorite CCR songs, along with Cotton Fields... I grew up listening to this band and their sound will never get old... also this song goes great when you’re boiling crawfish 🦞
I grew up with CCR.....back in those days, you could walk into our J.C. Penneys and buy these albums when they first came out......maybe 4 bucks? They actually had quite the extensive album section....THAT is how we got our music back in the day! In-freakin-credible!
I can''t hear any CCR without flashing back to the Viet Nam war. "Good Morning Viet Nam" radio...CCR ruled. The #1 song was CCR "Runnin' thru the Jungle" Soldiers pick. The guy from CA seemed to channel the South...always known as Swamp Rock back in the day. Thanks J for keeping great music alive and having such a positive message. Love your reactions. I be dancing wit ya, friend.

These guys were great in concert. Unforgettable, even after all these years.
The rhythm sections in the 60s and 70s are soooooo much better than so much modern stuff.
True
Absolutely !
Great comment.
There is no comparison
The raw musical talent back then eclipses anything today.
One of the greatest shocks of my life happened in my 30s, as a Cajun myself when I found out that CCR had never stepped foot in Louisiana, and were in fact a bunch of hippies from California. Yet, this song is perfection.
born and raised except for Stu in El Cerrito down the freeway from where I now live
That’s hilarious. I too was really disappointed to hear they were from CA, Northern California, which is even a worse offense than So Cal!
They are from ( CANADA) and the song American Women, was going to be a ❤love song. But American women were at his door. And in his head, so that is what came out, a great song..
I am 61 and from New Orleans, my people are from Lafitte,LA. I am Bruce not Aliyah she is my granddaughter..
John was not really a hippie…..
My family is as Cajun as can be. Even though these boys came from Cali, their music is still accepted down in south Louisiana. Of course this is a classic.
Boudreaux says where's the accordion?
I WISH you and your family were my friends!!
John Fogerty said when they wrote these songs they had never stepped foot in Louisiana but had just read about the culture.
@@kennylaborde4601 they also listened to a lot of blues artists like Muddy Waters and Lightning Hopkins which inspired
People in the Delta looooved CCR.
One of the best CCR songs 😎
This is straight up Swamp Funk!! Not bad for four white guys from NoCal. Love me some CCR. 🤠
I thought FOgerty was from NJ...but either way definitely not LA
The East Bay(El Cerrito)!
@@Beltonius I thought they were from California
@@cdiaz55 yup. Everyone who's not from this area thought they were from the South, and are surprised when I tell them they were from El Cerrito
El Cerrito, just read John’s book
My old man told me that CCR was one hit right after another right back in the day. Incredible!!!
And he wasn't wrong. At one time they actually had more hits on the charts than The Beatles ever had.
He wasn't kidding! I think there were 5 singles from Cosmos Factory alone.
Oddly enough, they never had a number 1 ..
No lie, CCR rolled out the hits one after the other with their unmistakable sound and unmistakable voice of John Fogerty.
I got to see them live in Detroit’s Cobo Hall, along with Tower of Power and Bo Didly. CCR Blew then away! An unforgettable night!
oh yes...they were living in the sf bay area...one hit after another and we would just wait for it...they were so good to dance to...in the 70's and 80's...san francisco was the place to be starting in the early 60's on...haight asheberry in san fran....
These guys are from the East Bay, El Cerrito CA, What a Group. They have lasted though time. I never get tired of hearing them.
Cali band that nailed the Southern Rock sound! Soulful, funky, down home sound...
CCR was my favorite band ever. My kids know all the songs, because in mama's car you listened to mama's music. :)
They're actually from San Francisco, but they nailed the Cajun vibe perfectly. Give Lodi a listen.
Oh lord...
R.A Williams East Bay, actually.
This song played over the opening titles in Return of Swamp Thing. With this song and the comic book art made it the highlight of the flick.
@@joeld_i4052 Commentator above just said El Cerrito CA across the Bay from SF, actually....not the City....dude
@@sueprator9314 did not mean to offend, I was referring to the line in Lodi "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again". :-)
I remember as a young guitarist in the 80's, telling my guitar teacher I wanted to learn some Southern rock, Like Skynyrd, Allmans, CCR......
lol..my teacher said, " Creedence?? Southern Rock??..lol those Boys are as California as Disneyland"....I was shocked....he may as well told me the Beatles were from Spain

I can relate, they sound southern on several of their other songs besides this one. This is swampy as hell.
@Michael Harvey ...me too, now that I am not 11 years old....lol.....I also hear Southern Flavor in some of Neil Youngs work...

Ah yes... CCR. I can't even explain how much I love this band.
There aren't enough words in the english language . ..........
Fogerty just oozes with soul!
This is a CALIFORNIA band groovin on the South....New Orleans vibe for sure. USA rock bands are Gold🎵🎵🎵
‘Fortunate Son’ has always been my favorite CCR!! Anybody agree?!
‘Long as I Can See the Light’ will be Jamel’s favorite.....guaranteed!
Keep ‘em rolling, brother!
Crigey! I completely forgot about ‘Someday Never Comes!’
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, all of em ! Wild ain’t it !
El Cerrito, across the bay from SF, up from Berkeley. Yeah, it's wild how they sounded like a Louisiana swamp rock band.
Such a unique band, and John’s soulful voice. R&B, Country, Blues, etc. All the elements that make up great Rock and Roll !
To a Latin Southener pilot living in colder climates, this is sacred music..
They're from California. They just love sounding southern better than anyone else.

Roman Goicoechea very cool. Thanks!
Great research Roman, I know a bit of the backstop to this song as well. It's one of my favs from CCR 🙂
sorry, meant "backstory" 😏
cool

I & all my friends danced our little asses off to this when we were about 15. STILL makes me dance! "Green River" has the same effect. Please do it!💙
You can't forget Commotion!........ git git git gone!
Green River is one of my favorites.
*I was 10 in 69 when I discovered Credence Clearwater Revival, and bought the Album "Willie and the Poor Boys" got hooked, and bought "Green River" then "Cosmo's Factory".*

Been seeing Fogerty doin home songs during the covid lockdown just Nice
Ya seen them too. Posted on my Facebook page. LoL
Fogerty still got it
It’s been cool watch JF and his kids playing.
John Fogerty: Blue boy and Coming back home. I know you like that church music. Coming back home is that complete with Angel's singing!
Fogerty's ✒ is 🔥I think he wrote all of their stuff.
This song and sound is still so distinctive to this day. Can't imagine hearing this one on the radio for the first back when it was released. Like something from another planet.
Awesome times!
Music took me to another place the guy was a hell of a Storyteller gives me goosebumps to this day
Vox amp vibrato. Fun to play!
These California hippies sound more country than 99 percent of the "country " acts on the radio nowadays
Only together 4 years. Thats what is amazing. So much good material packed together
C.C.R. Looking out my Backdoor..
Joseph Rodgers , YESSSS!!! I have always connected that song with happy times!
Jamal thank you very much for all the music you play and enjoy so much Billy Coolru Yessss
My mom and dad used to lay me between a split 8 track player and blast CCR to keep me from crying back in 68. I became a drummer. Thank you mom and dad.
That’s so cool ❤️🤘🏼

The best Swamp Pop music to come from a band that never came from the Bayous of Louisiana!
So I’m old enough to know that this is actually on the flipside the B-side of Proud Mary which Tina Turner kind of made famous but it’s actually a CCR song
Haha, you (and I) are old enough to know what the "flipside" means. I like both versions equally, very different but both are excellent.
Escalera al Cielo I don’t think so I think most people consider that Tina song now just from her stage show and how was performed and it’s a specific choreography that anyone that sings that song does and it’s all Tina
This was a Motown song Gladys Knight and lips did it first. Then Marvin Gaye and other Motown singers. The CCR
YelloFattyBean I’m pretty sure John Fogerty wrote that song Ike and Tina did a cover of it a couple years after the original came out and then Tina for every concert I saw her in and every time I see her sings that song it’s one of her signature songs that she does now whether she wrote it or not
Escalera al Cielo OK I just looked it up proud Mary is a rock ‘n’ roll song written by John Fogerty and first recorded by his band Creedence Clearwater Revival Ike and Tina Turner release to cover two years later in 1971. It was recorded in 1968
John Fogerty's riffs were simple. No problem, they're still amazing and timeless. His singing was as if he had a Ibanez Tube Screamer in his throat.
Legendary stuff here, Jamel.

believe it or not in his interview with Dan Rather he said he is not a good guitar player could have fool us fans
Listen to CCR's Suzie Q!!!
Theyre awesome!
Such a great vocal by John Fogarty. I was in high school when this came out and that vocal completely hooked me. I had no idea these were Berkely suburban white kids. I bought that whole Bayou vibe hook, line, and sinker. John can still deliver it.
Im 67 and grew up with this music and still love these old classics,theyjust dont have bands like this anymore.
This is definitively the best CCR song.
Watching you jam out to my childhood music brings me great joy.
Gotta check out Lookin Out My Backdoor. And Travelin Band.
Willie and The Poor Boys!
My mom was born and raised in Louisiana, I was born there, but dad was in the army so we moved around a lot. CCR is one of dad's favorite all time bands, mine to for that matter.
I was born on the bayou, St. Martinville, Eunice, Mamou, Gonzales, Port Vincent, Baton Rouge. I lived all over the bayou country. And yes, we use to jam to this even when I was a little stump jumpin cajun.
Man, these cats groovin' it so hard on the instrumentals ... Have Mercy!
Right?! That cowbell set it off!
But his voice makes that vibe.
Yessir!! CCR for the win.
This tune is hair raising, straight up nasty! Gives me chills!
One of the greatest songs ever!
John Fogerty vocals are AMAZING in this song!🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Classic..."I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' chasin' down the hoodoo there".
I just love how they used the term A-chooglin' in a song and its awesome.
Creedence was MASSIVE in South Africa. My dad has every single record on original vynils.
You still hear them regularly here..
My favorite CCR song....these guys were something else
You might be remembering this song from the movie "Apocalypse Now". They played this song when the men were "chilling" on one of the boats that patrolled the Mekong Delta
Yeah, I was also thinking of Waterboy as well. I think it was in another movie
Jamel wasn't even born when that movie came out. … not to say he hasn't seen it. A trippy movie in its day.
This just might be my "favorite" CCR tune.
Mine is "up and around the bend" and old man down the road and of course LODI is a classic
Love the Trump mask i have a trump shirt and mask
land slide 4 more years
This song has been in so many movies and TV shows...the definition of a "classic". CCR is a brilliant band, and their story is worth reviewing regarding ownership of content, they got ripped off like so many others did back then.
Must have been in every Nam movie ever made.
I mean, if you were in a band in the 60's/70's, and your contract wasn't absolute dogshit (except from your manager and label's point of view), did you even sign a contract?
I remember seeing an interview with Lemmy where he said he made more money from the lyrics he wrote for Ozzy (like 3 or 4 songs) than from the first 5 (6 if you include No Sleep 'til Hammersmith) Motörhead records.
He'll yeah. Water boy .
He opened his set at the New Orleans Jazzfest last year and he killed it. Crowd went crazy! We were near the front. He still sounds great today.
lucky you
Gotta love that cowbell, I was listening to these guys since I was 9 years old
I'm so glad to see young people hear this music. You are exposing so many to things they've never heard. Tysm
My mom passed a year and a half ago and CCR was the Only rock music she would allow to be played in the house. She was an stubborn fan of classic country music but loved CCR. Thank you for bringing back some good memories.

I JUST LOVE THESE GUYS.......always have!!!!!!! Fogerty kills it!!!!
I was a girl and remember these veterans from Vietnam jamming with those songs
I remember first hearing CCR in middle school, I was totally floored by John Fogerty's voice and still am! Great band.
I always have to play "green river" after this to continue that Bayou boogie.
"Green River" has to be my favorite (or near-favorite) CCR song and probably my top 25 songs of all time. It's just so THEM and so evocative of humid summer nights, the smell of a river in the air... Love it.
i played that 45 a million times as a kid-so funky and great to do 'the pony' to!
"...chooglin' on down to New Orleans..." Love it!
Thanks to everything thats holy for CCR!!!!!!
"Where have I heard that sound?" Why, it's built into the universe.
CCR. Now we're talking. Try Mountain's song "Mississippi Queen".
The original meatloaf, Leslie West!
Fantastic song!
"Oh, Lord! Stuck in Lodi again."
MY FATHER'S FAVORITE SONG OF THE CREEDENCE ❤
It is played in many movies about the Vietnam era. My uncle loved this song, he loved it. He served proudly as a Marine in Vietnam. Fun Fact, he was born and raised in California
Went to New Orleans the summer of 2021. Drove down a one lane road in the bayou in my truck. This song came on the radio. It was awesome.
I love the way Fogerty says hound dog barking.
Me too 🥰
Chasin down a hoodoo there...
John Fogarty, the only person sued for sounding too much like himself.........

(Fogarty had done that deliberately to irritate the label.) As I recall, the judge found for Fogarty and had some Harsh Words for the label in that decision.
@@roberttruhn5067 The first case was Fantasy inc. V. Forgerty which he won after playing the 2 songs from the witness stand. He then sued for legal fees and which was initially denied by the 9th Circuit court. After appeals the case ended up in front of the Supreme Court which unanimously decided that the 9th Circuit erred in denying Forgery the opportunity to recover legal fees on the basis it was a copyright claim. In the end he won his case for the fees.
Yeah Saul Zaentz was the piece of crap that tried suing John Fogerty for sounding too much like CCR. John Fogerty was CCR.
I love all of CCR's music, but Born on the Bayou is my all-time favorite. Thanks so much for giving it a listen. Blessings to you!
My favorite is Lodi but the vocals on this one are by far the best.
CCR was THE hottest American band back in the late 60s and then the greatest tidal wave of musical talent of the 70s overwhelmend them. They were still a great band but the competition was brutal.
During this crazy time , Fogerty is still making music with his family on his own youtube channel. Great stuff and he tells stories from back in the day
love that thank you for sharing x
Chasin down a who do there !!!
Every time I here this song - I miss my little beagle. I had for 15 yrs.
I can still hear his " wooh - wooh"
He's saying hoodoo, basically a person who practices African folk magic otherwise known as Voodoo.
Hi Jamel, in case you don't know, John Fogerty was the lead singer of CCR, and he also wrote and arranged most of the songs. I highly recommend you watch the recent videos of him and his children singing these old songs for us all during this pandemic. It's so beautiful to see this legend of rock n roll jamming out with his children.
These guys have a soft spot in my heart. You would think it would be the Beatles, but there is only one band that both me and my parents really loved, and it’s these guys. Thank you CCR for wonderful childhood memories of jamming with my folks on long car rides in the 70’s!
John Lennon LOVED Creedence!
The call and response is brilliant. John Foggery is a genius
Cant get anymore “Deep South” than this....awesome.
Except they are Yankees.....
Jamel only reacts to the best music.
Such a legendary song first time i heard it was on the waterboy and love that it’s in mafia 3
I come from a little village in Ontario, Canada, in cottage country. Back in the 80s, suddenly the locals discovered that a man who lived in one of the cottages there was... John Fogerty. He was laying low in my back yard, wrote some songs there, hung out with some of our local musicians. I felt like we had royalty living among us. John and his kids have some great videos that they put out recently during the Covid crisis... his kids look like a younger version of the band... and they all sound great.
Creedance Clearwater Revival has that unforgettable sound of music hitting with a unique full force of talent. Their music is memorable being featured in popular movies or films.
This beat can play for an hour and still leave me asking for more. Some 15 years ago, at Green Bay Packer game day, I arrived early to Lambeau Field, and they played and extended version for what seemed like 20 minutes while Brett Favre warmed up an hour before kickoff. Brett grew up in the Bayou. It was tribute. Great day as we won the game. GO PACK GO.
Jamal, really appreciate your joy in the music. Really fun and deep at the same time. I was born in the 60s don't remember much but love CCR.
Thanks for the respect and love you show the artists and subscribers. I think this was played in Forest Gump movie
@ᛏᛟᚱᛋᛏᛖᚾ ᚺᚨᚴᛟᚾᛋᛟᚾ Thanks. It is now correct
I was thinkin the same thing. Just watched it a couple of days ago.
Try Sailing by Christopher Cross
I got my Red Hoodie yesterday, it was a early Fathers day present.
This is the music that I grew up on. It’s awesome to see someone enjoy for the first time what I have loved my whole life. Keep rockin’ bud, you’re awesome! 👍
"As Long As I Can See The Light" by John Fogerty and CCR! It's got a Bluesy Funk to it. I think you may enjoy it!
The voice and vocal melody in this makes it for me. What a tune.
Right, for a California band John Fogerty really nailed the deep south Louisiana sound and 'feel'. We used to ply the bayous in an offshhore supply vessel occasionally, with my boom box in the wheelhouse blasting this song with the doors open, and the locals waving, dancing, and generally diggin' it!
Do SWEET HITCH-HIKER!
Do TRAVELING BAND!
Do UP AROUND THE BEND!
Do FORTUNATE SON!
Do I PUT A SPELL ON YOU!
Do DOWN ON THE CORNER!
CCR is actually from Berkely.
All of the above!
Do down on the corner
This is one of my favorite CCR songs, along with Cotton Fields... I grew up listening to this band and their sound will never get old... also this song goes great when you’re boiling crawfish 🦞
I would have loved to see CCR in concert! Almost every song could be an endless awesome jam! Including this one.
OMG....ME, TOO !!!!
Saw them 50 years ago when I was 14. All kinds of awesome!
I grew up with CCR.....back in those days, you could walk into our J.C. Penneys and buy these albums when they first came out......maybe 4 bucks? They actually had quite the extensive album section....THAT is how we got our music back in the day! In-freakin-credible!
I can''t hear any CCR without flashing back to the Viet Nam war. "Good Morning Viet Nam" radio...CCR ruled. The #1 song was CCR "Runnin' thru the Jungle" Soldiers pick. The guy from CA seemed to channel the South...always known as Swamp Rock back in the day. Thanks J for keeping great music alive and having such a positive message. Love your reactions. I be dancing wit ya, friend.
CCR "As Long As I Can See The Light" please please please.
David Hunt yes please
Put a candle in the window.....
Yes please!!!
Yes pleeeeaaaaaasssseeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful song. My fav CCR song for sure.
They wrote some of the simplest songs ever, yet each one sounded unique and awesome. Great band to jam along with ✌
Thanks to the “genius” of John Fogerty!
"Run Through The Jungle" CCR, please react to it.
Yes please that song was the one we exited Woodstock on!
Truly a fine, fine tune. Had it on 8 track.
Run Through the Jungle
& Green River
Doesn't get any better!
CCR is timeless...
What a f*cking sound and amazing voice, what a lyrics...?! In present time, there isn't such kind of music. That's so sad...This music never die.
