Singer, Songwriter, Lead guitarist John Fogerty captured magic in a bottle back then and wrote hit after hit. The band only lasted a few years but they were as good as anybody in that late sixties/early seventies explosion of sound.
🇬🇧 This band didn't last long but BOY, did they make some wonderful songs. "Down On The Corner" (my favourite). "Fortunate Son". "Looking Out My Back Door" "Bad Moon Rising" "Proud Mary" & lots more, these are my top five CCR songs. ❤🎶🎼
So great that you discovered this band. Lead singer John Fogerty is still touring and there are dozens of songs you can choose from. 'Born on the Bayou' should be your next listen and ,fortunately, it's a little bit longer song. But you guys will love it! Thanks for all you do!
CCR truly were an American band with a purely American sound. They actively opposed (in compositions) the British invasion, which had a strong following, I myself loved it (born in 1952). They showed the other side of the coin so to say. Of course they weren't the only major American bands (Chuck Berry, Beach Boys, Lovin Spoonful, Young Rascals, Temptations, Booker T & the MGs, etc. come to mind), but they had a unique multi platinum sound. Between Britain & America there was a great convergence of talented ideas & we can still be grateful they recorded all this music. I'm glad to see so many listeners are finding gems that I grew up with.
You two are my absolute favorite music reviewers. You have so much fun, and you are not afraid to have adult and meaningful responses. Thank you. And yes, Andre, this is a very surprising and unique sounding band, absolutely. Very bouncy. It's both unpretentious and excellent at the same time.
I'm a 65 year old American who use to be a Musician and CCR and John Fogerty, who wrote all their songs, was a Great band that was only a band who were together for only about 5 years because of issues among the band, they were from California
Yet another killer reaction from you guys!! CCR is a very deep rabbit hole of some of the greatest music of my much younger days. The sound is very distinctive from the guitar riffs to John Fogerty's voice, who is now 78 and still touring. You might think they are Southern boys since so much of their music focuses on "swamp rock"....but no, they're California boys. Thank you so very much for reminding us of this outstanding music!
CCR always gives people their wings! One of the best bands in our history. A band with their own sound & cadence. Wonderful! Thank you for enjoying this one...=)
Love CCR! Grew up with them. You would probably recognize their music of the Vietnam War in all the huge movies, or video games now and guitar hero. Fortunate Son, Run through the Jungle. Iconic!
OH WOWWW..!!! IF YOU REALLY LOVE THAT, I HAVE SIX OF THIER ORIGINAL ALBUMS. NOT A BAD SONG IN THE LOT. ALL TELLING A STORY, MANY PLAYED IN MOVIES N COMMERCIALS. FABULOUS VIBES, EVER LASTING, TIMELESS EPICS. A FEW GREATS ARE, I HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE, SUZIE Q, FORTUNATE SON, RAMBLE TAMBLE, KEEP ON CHOOGLIN … UR GONNA LOVE THIS RIDE 👏 . THEY WERE A HEAD LINE AT WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL, THIER MUSIC HEPLED SUPPORT THE YOUNG GENERATION THAT WERE REBELLING AGAINST THE SYSTEM FOR MORE FREEDOMS, AGAINST THE DRAFT FOR THE VIETNAM WAR. LOVE UR GREAT SMILES ROCK ON 👊🖖
This brought back the memories, my wife who is from Finland loves CCR. We were driving to northern California from the bay area. I saw the Winters turn off and said lets have some breakfast Luckily, we got a seat overlooking the green river! I said wow look at that river. She said what river? I said that green river. She said that is not a river. I said, "It is if you are CCR!" . Good laugh. Another CCR song I can relate to is Lodi! Central valley is F'n hot.
Green River is about songwriter/bandleader/singer/lead guitarist John Fogerty's memories of Putah Creek, near Winters, California. It was a favorite vacation spot of his when he was growing up. Creedence Clearwater Revival sounds like a southern band, and their style is called "swamp rock," but they were all from the San Francisco Bay Area. Three of the four members went to El Cerrito High School, across the bay from San Francisco. CCR was a hit machine for a little over three years, when the band broke up because of management and creative differences. Some of their best songs include: Proud Mary Bad Moon Rising Down on the Corner Fortunate Son Who'll Stop the Rain Up Around the Bend Run Through the Jungle Lookin' Out My Back Door Have You Ever Seen the Rain Lodi I Heard It Through the Grapevine Cotton Fields The Midnight Special A lot of people think Proud Mary is an Ike and Tina Turner song, but John Fogerty wrote it, and CCR recorded it first.
So many hits to choose from, "have you ever seen rain", looking out my back door, willie and the poor boys, long as I can see the light "" Ramble Tamble" . The midnight special......etc..
Although many of the songs have a Louisiana flavor, John Fogerty was born in California and Green River was a river he visited for vacation as a kid in California. It is officially called Putah Creek. He just remembered it as Green River.
i remember hearing this song on AM radio 1300 WMAK in Nashville,TN. a LONG time ago. Put Boondocks by Little Big Top on your list. Im not a big country music fan but this song just takes me back home everytime i hear it.
70% of CCR songs was a hit. Keep rockin' with Up Around The Bend,Travelin' Band,Bad Moon Rising,Sweet Hitch-Hiker,Proud Mary,It Came Out Of The Sky,Fortunate Son,Lodi,Lookin' Out My Back Door,Have You Ever Seen The Rain,Born On The Bayou. 🖐
Keep digging into their catalogue. You might want to check out Born on the Bayou and Proud Mary next. But there are dozens more you will love, I promise. As always, I loved your reaction.
The reason CCR resonates with everyone is because of how real they are. No masks, no deception. John Fogerty is also one of America's finest songs writers. 👍🎶🎶🎵✌️📻
CCR is one of my all time favorite bands. John Fogerty's great singing and guitar playing... and he wrote the songs. One of the best to ever do it. Love you two... every time I watch you. You are such a lovely couple.
Thanks for doing "Green River", which I always listen to when I have the time. By the way, I saw CCR play at Subiaco Oval in Perth, Western Australia, way back in February 1972. My favourite rock band.
John Fogerty and the rest of the band had never been to the Bayou. It was music he had heard while in the United States Army during the Vietnam War era. They were from the San Francisco bay area. Timeless music that enchanted the world.
You guys are by far my favorite reactors. I really enjoy watching you two, your love and affection for one another is palatable. I’m 72 and retired now, I grew up on this music it was a part of my life and I’m sure it influenced me. Not too many reactors have reacted to K.T. Oslin, she had major success in the 80’s with a bunch of songs. My favorite is New Way Home, her biggest hit was 80’s Ladies.
Try "Heard it Through the Grapevine" next! It was originally a big hit for Marvin Gaye and was awesome, but I personally like CCR's version even more!🙂
I absolutely love your reaction to CCR! Another of my all time favorite groups! CCR was labeled swamp rock, due to their sound. They are from California, but the sounds seem to come from the bayous and the South. Check out some of their awesome hits. Proud Mary, Heard it Through the Grapevine (long version). Fortunate Son, Run Through the Jungle. This music was the background sounds of our youth! You would be hard pressed to watch a Viet Nam movie, and not hear their music in there!
Fogerty is an incredible singer/songwriter/musician. The man can write songs in his sleep! Their songs are short compared to a lot of others, but he can say more in three minutes than most artists can say in a whole album! Proficient artist. Plenty of great songs to enjoy. You can't go wrong with CCR.
Interesting that at 4:20 of your review a bunch of pot plants appear in CCR's video. 4:20 (or 4:20 o'clock) refers to April 20 when North Americans light up a joint in youthful harmony as one lol. Love your reactions to my favorite songs growing up and to this day as well.✌
There is probably more than one Green River in the United States but I went rubber rafting on the Green River in Utah, which is a tributary of the Colorado River. I have great memories of that trip!
As a mainstream band, hey were on top of the world after The Beatles. Most of the songs were composed, arranged, and produced by John Fogerty (front man, singer and lead guitar player)
😊 Surely I'm not the only viewer on here who feels like I have 2 kindred spirits from another part of the world ! I just discovered these 2 sweet people on here yesteday morning, and I feel like I know them.❤😊 Hello from Florida US !
Wow! You review my favorite of all time In spanish Juan Gabriel providing for my familys roots and now CCR!!!! They were extremely popular back in the 60s and 70s.
Hello again lovely people from Romania, again, from Canada, thankYou, The village I was born in is in Green River, French peolpe, later became Rivière-Verte) New Brunswick, Canada. My first lesson on the bass. Thank You so much!
INTERESTING NOTE ABOUT CREEDENCE CLEARWATER: The band was not from Louisiana or any part of the south with swamps. They were from Northern California, a totally different climate.
If you like Green River, you have to check out Born On A Bayou. John Fogerty and CCR will never disappoint. I love that you are finding out what a treasure CCR really is. You both have wonderful taste in music and pure hearts, and as I have said before, I love your authentic, heartfelt reactions.
Please check out Looking out my Backdoor . Back in 1970 you heard this hit on the radio all the time . Just one of those songs that put a smile on your face .
Born on The Bayou by Creedence Clearwater Revival is an AMAZING song! John Fogertys voice is Fantastic in it!❤❤❤
I totally agree! Would love to hear them react to 'Born on the Bayou"!
Or: "Long as I can see the light" with some bluesy SAX
Born On The Bayou, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Suzy Q and Heard It Through The Grapevine just to name a few.
Singer, Songwriter, Lead guitarist John Fogerty captured magic in a bottle back then and wrote hit after hit. The band only lasted a few years but they were as good as anybody in that late sixties/early seventies explosion of sound.
Iconic voice. Cannot be recreated, imo.
It really sucks they disbanded like that. They were on track to be up there with bands like led zeppelin.
❤❤❤
Just the BEST COUPLE on INTERNET !!!! 🤗❤✌️
I 2 nd that I just love you two ❤
I 3rd that ... just 'The Best'. ♥
I 4th that. Love everything about the two of you. ♥
l 4th that also they are both very respectful people.
I 5th that, I wish they were my neighbors.

Running through the jungle ❤
Love CCR

Green River - one of my top 10 fave songs all time! ♥
🇬🇧 This band didn't last long but BOY, did they make some wonderful songs. "Down On The Corner" (my favourite). "Fortunate Son". "Looking Out My Back Door" "Bad Moon Rising" "Proud Mary" & lots more, these are my top five CCR songs. ❤🎶🎼

'Suzie Q', 'Born on the Bayou', 'Have You Ever Seen The Rain' ... there are so many that will bring you back to Green River! 😃🥰
This my favorite

You two are my absolute favorite music reviewers. You have so much fun, and you are not afraid to have adult and meaningful responses. Thank you. And yes, Andre, this is a very surprising and unique sounding band, absolutely. Very bouncy. It's both unpretentious and excellent at the same time.
Swamp Rock. Love it. CCR has lots of hits.
I saw John Fogarty last summer here in San Diego California and he performs with his sons and they are so good!
Born on the Bayou, Fortunate Son, Run through the jungle & their cover of Heard it through the grapevine. In that order!
I 💚CCR

"Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight" What a line!
♥
No mistaking a CCR song. You know it right away. Totally unique sound. Many, many great songs.
Wowsa indeed.
Love CCR! Grew up with them. You would probably recognize their music of the Vietnam War in all the huge movies, or video games now and guitar hero. Fortunate Son, Run through the Jungle. Iconic!
If you are loving CCR, I'd highly recommend their song, "Long As I See The Light". It will take you straight to church
I miss the rope swing on trees. Swing high and flip into water!
Oh you have opened a can of pure perfection
OH WOWWW..!!! IF YOU REALLY LOVE THAT, I HAVE SIX OF THIER ORIGINAL ALBUMS. NOT A BAD SONG IN THE LOT. ALL TELLING A STORY, MANY PLAYED IN MOVIES N COMMERCIALS.
FABULOUS VIBES, EVER LASTING, TIMELESS EPICS. A FEW GREATS ARE, I HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE, SUZIE Q, FORTUNATE SON, RAMBLE TAMBLE, KEEP ON CHOOGLIN … UR GONNA LOVE THIS RIDE 👏 . THEY WERE A HEAD LINE AT WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL, THIER MUSIC HEPLED SUPPORT THE YOUNG GENERATION THAT WERE REBELLING AGAINST THE SYSTEM FOR MORE FREEDOMS, AGAINST THE DRAFT FOR THE VIETNAM WAR.

You need to react to Born on the Bayou and Down on the Corner. Also Fortunate Son
Green River is about songwriter/bandleader/singer/lead guitarist John Fogerty's memories of Putah Creek, near Winters, California. It was a favorite vacation spot of his when he was growing up.
Creedence Clearwater Revival sounds like a southern band, and their style is called "swamp rock," but they were all from the San Francisco Bay Area. Three of the four members went to El Cerrito High School, across the bay from San Francisco.
CCR was a hit machine for a little over three years, when the band broke up because of management and creative differences. Some of their best songs include:
Proud Mary
Bad Moon Rising
Down on the Corner
Fortunate Son
Who'll Stop the Rain
Up Around the Bend
Run Through the Jungle
Lookin' Out My Back Door
Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Lodi
I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Cotton Fields
The Midnight Special
A lot of people think Proud Mary is an Ike and Tina Turner song, but John Fogerty wrote it, and CCR recorded it first.
CCR is the best. Never a bad song. John Fogerty is fantastic.😊
So many hits to choose from, "have you ever seen rain", looking out my back door, willie and the poor boys, long as I can see the light "" Ramble Tamble" . The midnight special......etc..
It is like a happy place from younger days…
Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight,
Come on!
I’m from the south, I get and love it!💖
If you want a great, longer one from them , try a deep album cut; Keep on Chooglin’. Also, the album version of Heard It Through the Grapevine
Although many of the songs have a Louisiana flavor, John Fogerty was born in California and Green River was a river he visited for vacation as a kid in California. It is officially called Putah Creek. He just remembered it as Green River.
i remember hearing this song on AM radio 1300 WMAK in Nashville,TN. a LONG time ago. Put Boondocks by Little Big Top on your list. Im not a big country music fan but this song just takes me back home everytime i hear it.
No one sounds like "CCR",you have to love them. Them there boys are from Northern California, unbelievable!
you just can't go wrong with this band.
Since you like the Southern sound, you might check out Johnny and Edgar Winter's live performance of "Tobacco Road."
70% of CCR songs was a hit. Keep rockin' with Up Around The Bend,Travelin' Band,Bad Moon Rising,Sweet Hitch-Hiker,Proud Mary,It Came Out Of The Sky,Fortunate Son,Lodi,Lookin' Out My Back Door,Have You Ever Seen The Rain,Born On The Bayou. 🖐
Keep digging into their catalogue. You might want to check out Born on the Bayou and Proud Mary next. But there are dozens more you will love, I promise. As always, I loved your reaction.
John Fogerty is remembering a camp he would go to as a boy. He creates a mythical American place with the words and sound.
The reason CCR resonates with everyone is because of how real they are. No masks, no deception. John Fogerty is also one of America's finest songs writers. 👍🎶🎶🎵✌️📻
all their songs were great, loved all of their stuff, know you guys will love their stuff
CCR is one of my all time favorite bands. John Fogerty's great singing and guitar playing... and he wrote the songs. One of the best to ever do it.
Love you two... every time I watch you. You are such a lovely couple.
their reactions are excellent, you can see that they love the music, all of CCR's songs are great, but i recommend one BEFORE ACCUSE ME
Fantastic! One of 7 Number One Songs they had here in Canada 🇨🇦.
Love Love Love this group !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You guys are fun to watch because you are real like the music you play. I like reality.
"Fortunate Son" and "Centerfield" should be on your agenda at some point. One with CCR and one John Fogerty solo. You've tapped a deep, deep well
I love watching you react to so many of my favorite classic songs. You are such a sweet couple.
Thanks for doing "Green River", which I always listen to when I have the time.
By the way, I saw CCR play at Subiaco Oval in Perth, Western Australia, way back in February 1972.
My favourite rock band.
Seen John Fogerty last summer just awesome ! Please do SWEET HITCH HIKER and UP AROUND THE BEND by CCR next

LOVE CCR!..❤.. Brought back so many good memories...❤Thanks for the great reaction.❤
I WAS BROUGHT UP WITH (CCR) BRILLIANT BAND, (INCREDIBLE) IS THE REAL WORD

The cover of " I Heard it thru the Grapevine" is 11 minutes of pure Bliss! Please react to album version not the 3 minute radio edit...❤
That radio edit is a travesty.
@@Jessesgirl2013 💯✌️
There is probably more than one Green River in the United States but I went rubber rafting on the Green River in Utah, which is a tributary of the Colorado River. I have great memories of that trip!
Yeah, one in Washington as well.
You are correct, there's a Green River here in Kentucky as well👍✌️
John Fogerty wrote this song about a place he used to go when he was a kid.
John Fogerty is a genius story teller…he wraps each story in sublime musical arrangements!
Fogerty is the goat
@@vandalayindustries3057 correct
John Fogerty is a genius. Not said enough, but true.
GREAT band and great reaction guys xx
Try CCR "Up around the bend " it has a killer guitar intro x :)
As a mainstream band, hey were on top of the world after The Beatles. Most of the songs were composed, arranged, and produced by John Fogerty (front man, singer and lead guitar player)
