If you have not done so already you should check out Humble Pie. Steve Marriott has such a soulful voice. I believe he was actually considered to be the singer for Led Zeppelin. I think he would have been a perfect fit. He could belt out some seriously crunchy lines.
How a bunch of bluegrass, swamp style r&b boys could take one of THE finest black soul songs of all time and make it their own is special beyond belief. Hard to match Marvin but this is the finest homage you'll ever hear. Bless Fogerty and Gaye. ❤🤘
This Marvin Gaye classic kept CCR’s Proud Mary from reaching #1. Rather than being upset, they paid homage by recording one of the greatest covers of all time.
I was born in ‘63 and grew up on all this as well. I had CCRs greatest hits album twice, as my sister borrowed my first album sometime around 1982 and never gave it back!
I Saw Marvin Gay and Tammy Terrell sing this live at the Miami Rock festival in 1968. This has been one of my favorite songs since then. CCR's version just blows me away every time I here it . Thanks for reacting to this great song....
@Kurt Staeuble welcome to an unexpectedly very special place. Music lover or casual listener. Young or old. One Jamal video or binged-out. You will leave smiling, often with a lump in your throat & your eyes “sweating” as well. Come for a man”s reaction, leave with memories stirred/new memories made. Jamel is so genuine and honest. That in itself makes this such a unique place. As a bonus, you will find civility, encouragement & a lot of positivity from folks posting here. A lot of music knowledge is enthusiastically shared by others here, all the time. I don’t really know how to explain it, but stick around. You’ll feel what I mean! Enjoy the journey you probably didn’t realize you’d be taking! Happened to me for sure!!
G A I feel the same way!! My day doesn’t feel complete until I see Jamal react to at least 2-3 songs 💖 My favorite channel by a mile as far as reactions go ☮️
I just discovered your site and you are my favorite. I am an old rocker...like 75 and saw all of these bands in SF in the 1960s. Imagine my thrill to see these beloved groups being heard with today's ears. It gives me a new appreciation for the music of my era. Damn we knew how to rock! And damn we were good like genius good!
Jamel, what I love about you is that you bring a completely different perspective to the same song I've heard for 40+ years. I heard that song in a new way tonight, and for that I have to say, thank you very much!
Speaking of stank, you should check out Dream Theater's live verson of Endless Sacrifice in Japan. It's probably one of the hardest rocking love songs ever made... th-cam.com/video/dFXq1ixoE8k/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, kinda like the way he pronounces the word burning as " boining" on Proud Mary. Leonard Nimoy later on hilariously tried to duplicate that effect on a very misguided cover version of it. LOL!
One of the most prophetic song lines ever written ... "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" ... especially in these days of the internet !
Love the classic Marvin Gaye version, but this one has the dirty swampy groove I dig, plus the jam at the end is worth the price of admission! Great stuff as always!
I worked a session with the writer of this song, Norman Whitfield, one day during a session, he opened an envelope with his quarterly royalty check, turned to me and said "Heard it through the Grapevine is the only song I ever had to write!". And he wrote a lot of hits for Motown.
If he does the C.C.R. version of Proud Mary he should also do the Tina Turner version. Jamel: Tina Turner is a woman you should check out. She and her abusive husband Ike Turner were huge back then. She finally dumped his sorry ass and went on to become a bigger star as a solo performer. That Sister is one strong lady.
That almost Native American backbeat, and the way he says "hoid it", sets CCR's version so far apart from everyone else's! Lovebit, one of my favorites. Love the long jam session version! 👍
Funny, I just learned that a lot of my favorite songs were CCR! Then I heard “hoid” and I’m like duh? Where is this guy from??? Californa-yay??? Now I get distracted every time he says “hoid”.....
I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought 'is it the full version with the like 6 solid minutes of the band just jamming and not wanting to end the song?' And it was. And it's great.
Saw Fogerty do this two years ago on his tour, which included Kenny Aronoff on drums. I was lukewarm going into the show, but I shoot concerts, and Fogerty's a legend, and ZZ Top was opening, so I didn't want to miss it. I was blown away by how incredible he is on stage, the band he assembled, and just the all-out, non-stop, no-holds-barred of the whole show, start to finish.
@@bunburychic9755 It was the feeling in the 60's and 70's. And the music , influenced by Vietnam, free love, the revolution, and rebellion, helped us feel free. That's what the hair and clothes were about, a symbol of rebellion against the establishment and authority. We wanted to be different to the staid, stitched up 50's. Now that I am in my 60's, I undrstand why the 50's happened that way. After WW2, they wanted stability and predictability, to feel safe. I feel very lucky to have experienced the whole era .
John is singing with his kids on TH-cam now in quarantine. Telling stories about his life. His story about following the Grateful Dead at Woodstock was halarious!!! “Have you ever seen the rain” is my fav song of CCR.
Sweet Memories! My father (Korean War Veteran) and my cousin Sammy (Vietnam War Veteran) when he would be on leave from Nam. They would play CCR, this song especially. I was 12years old then. They always would blast it: my mother loved it also. Now I am 67 years old. Love it.
You keep doing it Jamel, you continue to go deeper into the well and pull out real gems out of the vault. Every time I think you've come up with the ultimate reaction you pull another one out. Kudos to you. This song brings back so many memories for me, but the one I cling to, the one that brings absolute joy and tears to my eyes is when I remember my dad purchasing this album "Cosmos Factory" and playing it on our simple little record player. We had just moved to Oakland and my dad worked near the studio CCR called "Cosmos Factory" after Doug Clifford their drummer, where they recorded this album. My dad heard about it and my god the sounds that came out of that little record player kept me going in dreary and wet Oakland. I would play that album all day long. Thank you for bringing back such a joyous memory. The guitar solo by John Fogerty was the first real guitar solo I ever heard that I never forgot. Great job.
They obviously love this song and must have been determined to do it justice. What a great version, I didn’t know what to expect. First time I’ve heard it, won’t be the last.
Been listening to CCR since I was a very young man. I’m 71 now and still listen to them. They are my favorite group of all time. Just glad to see how much you enjoy their music.
Creedence Clearwater Revival released a song called "Proud Mary" that became a hit. Two years later Ike & Tina Turner released a cover of that song that also became a hit. You should react to "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Can't go wrong with CCR noway no how! "Run Through The Jungle" "Lodi" "Wrote A Song For Everyone ""Green River" "Cross Tie Walking" " Fortunate Son" "Looking Out My Backdoor" There's many more! If you want a long one of CCR try " Keep On Chooglin' "
The great thing is he is still singing and producing music with his adult kids. Has done several live casual little private concerts for the covid thing. Self isolation. Brilliant. They will eternally be my fav band.
This song has sounded good by everyone I’ve ever heard record it. It’s truly a masterpiece. The performer can make it their own and it’s still the same song, you can’t say that about a lot of good music, sometimes the performance makes the song and sometimes it’s the other way around. Give it to these boys and ya know it’s gonna be a for-real good time.
There was two versions of this: the LP version that we just heard, and then the "Radio Play" or Single (45) version that Did end at the half way mark, it faded out after the vocals ended. I heard the radio version first obviously but didn't know this long Jam session version existed until we got the album. I was eight years old at the time and from the same neighborhood where these guys rehearsed
You are correct. Also, the radio version used only the 2nd of those first two short guitar solos that you hear on this long version that came just before he sings the last chorus.
When your shoulders go up ..I know you are loving it.....I am 69 years old grew up with this awesome band.....Why can't they make good music like this anymore??? Timeless..
60's and 70's music is all about that long jammin in the middle of the song to the point of you wandering when the song is going to end...loved it and omg....JOHN FOGERTY!! SINGING
Saw John Fogerty in concert last year.. he did this song with his whole family singing with him. It was amazing! If we ever are able to get together again.. go see him. He’s in Las Vegas regularly! Great reaction by the way!!
That rhythm guitar shakes me every time...great days back in the early 90`s going camping with my dad on the Natal coast in South Africa with this playing constantly...
In the late 50s-60s I had my transistor radio (grandma bought me a new one each yr for my birthdays) under my pillow every nite to listen to Wolfman Jack, out of Del Rio Texas. CCR, DOOBIES all nite long. Some gave me the willies but I listened anyway. Then it was tuned to WLS-50,000 watts out of Chicago.
Thank you thank you thank you for listening to the full length version; one of the best, most captivating solos I've ever heard. Air guitar/air drums world championships every single time 😄😄😜
I've seen CCR and John Fogerty more times in concert than any other band. Also, one of my favorite shows was the "John John Tour". Fogerty and Mellencamp; a great pairing, and great concert.
I am, officially, going to be addressing you as MR. Jamel! So far, so great. I never thought I would get so much joy at watching someone else watch music. You nail it every time. Thanks for the joy, brother. Thanks for the fresh eyes on great classics, especially. You can call me New England Glenn. You are reaching us, up here, in the Northeast. Keep on, keepin' on.
I remember when Bad Moon Rising came out, I was 14 years old. We lived right by some boys that formed a band and they would play that song everyday, for a round 6 months or more.
@Nature and Physics , I use to be a bouncer. Analysis on music, the only thing I didnt like was rap, tell me, do you heat instrument, not these cupid sinthesisezers
If you want to get a similar jam , check out “Get Ready” by Rare Earth. The drummer sings the Smokey Robinson classic and they are the only all white band in Motown Records at the time. Those guys are awesome !!
He’s got such a southern sounding voice when he sings. I couldn’t believe it when I found out these guys are from El Cerrito! OK then. I like their song “Lodi.”
Jamel, I consider myself a ccr expert , before grapevine , their first single was suzie q and I put a spell on you. Most listeners thought it was singer was black from Louisiana. John forgery voice is timeless and his guitar playing is out of this world. He is actually on board of directors of the rock and roll hall of fame. Please listen to more his music! Bayou country is best record along with green river. Unfortunately he did not get along with his brother after he left the band. While another story!! Keep rockin
While you’re on the Creedence kick, please check out ‘as long as I can see the light’, off the cosmos factory album. Even if you don’t react to it, listen for your self!
Imagine being in Vietnam and listening to this group. They helped me stay connected.
Every time I hear "Born on the Bayou" I think of my cousin Billy shipping out to Vietnam. It must have been playing on the radio at that time.
Yep me too.I came home in 72. Some high grade Jamaican helped mellow me out.
@@crazydale1000 thank you for your service
Thank you for your service
Vietnam - The only war to come with a soundtrack.
John Fogerty's voice, oh holy crap, his voice! Still really gets me after decades.
If you have not done so already you should check out Humble Pie. Steve Marriott has such a soulful voice. I believe he was actually considered to be the singer for Led Zeppelin. I think he would have been a perfect fit. He could belt out some seriously crunchy lines.
Can't dismiss that bass line!! Enchanting!! A joy to listen to.
John Fogerty has one of the best voices ever!!
Fingernails on a chalkboard voice
And unique enough to great a copyright problem for a commercial a few years ago.
@@immaculateheart1267 You must have the sweetest sounding chalkboard on this world. Freak.
Still is! He still goes on tour.
How a bunch of bluegrass, swamp style r&b boys could take one of THE finest black soul songs of all time and make it their own is special beyond belief. Hard to match Marvin but this is the finest homage you'll ever hear. Bless Fogerty and Gaye. ❤🤘
I am 70 years old, and my joy at your enjoyment of music touched my heart, Peace my brother.
I’m 64 I hear ya
This Marvin Gaye classic kept CCR’s Proud Mary from reaching #1. Rather than being upset, they paid homage by recording one of the greatest covers of all time.
Did not know this. Thanks for the knowledge ❤
One of the best American Rock bands of the 60s-70s!
Possibly the most 'American' band and possibly the best American band
john killed it in the 80’s also 🤘🏻🤘🏻
CCR and The Doors are the best American Rock bands of all time
Every Creedence song is a gem, you can't go wrong with them. One of the most important R'n'R bands ever 👍🍻
Crnac uziva da ih slusa.
Yes indeed!
I consider CCR country rock a sub genre of rock and roll
I think I hit the sweet spot in life being born in 58. The music that came out in the next two decades that followed my birth was just plain Awesome.
I was born in 1958, We got the best!
59…you got that right!
me, 59!
I was born in 57 and totally agree with you!!! There is no better music than what we grew up with.
I was born in ‘63 and grew up on all this as well. I had CCRs greatest hits album twice, as my sister borrowed my first album sometime around 1982 and never gave it back!
I Saw Marvin Gay and Tammy Terrell sing this live at the Miami Rock festival in 1968. This has been one of my favorite songs since then. CCR's version just blows me away every time I here it . Thanks for reacting to this great song....

I have to admit, I love CCR.
Oh man, I discovered you tonight and smiled for two hours straight listening to the music and your reactions. Awesome channel!
@Kurt Staeuble welcome to an unexpectedly very special place. Music lover or casual listener. Young or old. One Jamal video or binged-out.

I agree with G A, you will love this guy’s reactions to a lot of awesome songs. I hope you follow him and enjoy like a lot of us!
Jamal's the best! He's such a happy person and you feel it watching him. He does a huge variety of songs and love his shoulder dancing!
Jamel is in a league of his own when it comes to reaction videos. His videos make me happy.
One of the most underrated guitar solos in rock history!
It's in the top 100 best guitar solos in rock history👍✌️
The opening is the voice of God. It is perfection, beyond perfection, whatever that is. It hits the spot..........
I just discovered your site and you are my favorite. I am an old rocker...like 75 and saw all of these bands in SF in the 1960s. Imagine my thrill to see these beloved groups being heard with today's ears. It gives me a new appreciation for the music of my era. Damn we knew how to rock! And damn we were good like genius good!
You are me and I am you and we are all together!
Speaking of SF, how about a reaction to Scott McKenzie "If You're Going To San Fransisco"?
I saw them all in SF, too! And at the Monterey Pop Festival.
"We"
Amen!!!!
Jamel, what I love about you is that you bring a completely different perspective to the same song I've heard for 40+ years. I heard that song in a new way tonight, and for that I have to say, thank you very much!
Thanks man. Keep up the great work. I'm loving it!
Speaking of stank, you should check out Dream Theater's live verson of Endless Sacrifice in Japan. It's probably one of the hardest rocking love songs ever made... th-cam.com/video/dFXq1ixoE8k/w-d-xo.html
Yes, it's so true, isn't it?
Jamelia is the best .
Bro, you are knockin' it out of the park with these CCR reactions. This is true classic rock in its finest form. 👍🏻
Yes he is!
Love how he sings Hoyd it through the grapevine
Yeah, kinda like the way he pronounces the word burning as " boining" on Proud Mary. Leonard Nimoy later on hilariously tried to duplicate that effect on a very misguided cover version of it. LOL!
Charles-Yes! Didn't think of him saying that on the Proud Mary song & didn't know know about Leornard Nimoy doing that-Too funny😂😂
Charles Williams My dad was from the south. That’s how he pronounced “heard” and “burning”. Miss you dad!
They had one hit after another...every song they put out was amazing..get there greatest hits..all thru the 60's and ..70s love credence
One of the most prophetic song lines ever written ... "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" ... especially in these days of the internet !
I think that line is (more or less) from a '52 Burt Lancaster pirate movie.
Love the classic Marvin Gaye version, but this one has the dirty swampy groove I dig, plus the jam at the end is worth the price of admission! Great stuff as always!
Jess Payant “Dirty Swamp Grove”
Never herd that before but I love it. That’s CCR through & through.
Try this, Jess!! Trust me. th-cam.com/video/57SNPbxi0r0/w-d-xo.html
Zapp & Roger's version is great too
you said it
Dig.
Aaahhhhh....... still great after all these years.
CCR was the ultimate road trip 8 track!!!
YES! Especially the Cosmo's Factory 8-track, where I Heard It Through The Grapevine took up a whole program itself, and nothing else was 'split'
You ain't lying there.
I worked a session with the writer of this song, Norman Whitfield, one day during a session, he opened an envelope with his quarterly royalty check, turned to me and said "Heard it through the Grapevine is the only song I ever had to write!". And he wrote a lot of hits for Motown.
I might be a great grandmother now, but you got me up dancing with you Jamal: your "reactions" have made social isolation less isolating
Amen to that
I’m one too!! Love the group love the host!!!😊😊😊🛸🛸🛸👽👽👽💕💕💕
I am a great-grandfather now. And Jamal's appreciation of real music inspires me as well!
If you like this, then you should listen to them playing "Proud Mary".
Yes please!!!
If he does the C.C.R. version of Proud Mary he should also do the Tina Turner version.
Jamel: Tina Turner is a woman you should check out. She and her abusive husband Ike Turner were huge back then. She finally dumped his sorry ass and went on to become a bigger star as a solo performer. That Sister is one strong lady.
Now you’re talking!
John wrote Proud Mary but Tina Turner made it her song and John will say so himself love CCR and Tina
For your information John Fogerty wrote Proud Mary! It wasn’t Ike Turner!
NOBODY sings this one like Marvin, and NOBODY has ever played this like CCR.
Marvin was an incredible talent! Gone way too soon and greatly missed.
I just now listen to Marvin vocals on it . Wow what a singer but ccr instrumentals GOAT
Well put.
Nobody sings like either one of them!! Truth
@@artsybabe4u true John Fogerty's voice got plenty of funky soul too
"Susie Q" and "Run Through The Jungle" are two songs that won't disappoint.
OH YEAH SUSIE "Q"
Have to second this advice. and would add Green River to this request list. They are more interesting than this mellow but funky sleeper.
Databyter
@@harveyharveyness8773 I second that, Susie Q for sure
th-cam.com/video/wqp71DOJ3aY/w-d-xo.html. Check that one out George Duke and Frank zappa
@@funkbox1000 Yeah, that's an awesome performance. His son does it justice, Zappa plays Zappa, Dweezil plays a great solo, one of many.
That almost Native American backbeat, and the way he says "hoid it", sets CCR's version so far apart from everyone else's! Lovebit, one of my favorites. Love the long jam session version! 👍
Good point about the Native beat!!! Maybe that's what takes this version to another place altogether. It's so raw
YES i hear what you are saying !
So true
Heard them play this in a concert once. Everybody in the audience was jamming.
"I hoid it through the grapevine..."
One of the GREAT moments in rock 'n roll history.
Heard dummy
How come he pronounced it like he's from Jersey?
@@iyaramonk I say that ALL the time! OMG! Another one! Joisy......hahaha...
Funny, I just learned that a lot of my favorite songs were CCR! Then I heard “hoid” and I’m like duh? Where is this guy from??? Californa-yay??? Now I get distracted every time he says “hoid”.....
@@smd785 Joisy? What exit?
There has been a whole bunch of versions of this song, but this is easily my favorite.
California Raisins is second, but this is number 1 by FAR.
📻🙂
I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought 'is it the full version with the like 6 solid minutes of the band just jamming and not wanting to end the song?' And it was. And it's great.
Phenomenon!!
This channel is so much fun, thanks
Long enough to tune up the guitar circle.
The percussion on this is like a heartbeat

Have seen him twice in the past 4 yrs - he’s great... solid 2 hrs of ENTERTAINMENT!
"I Put a Spell On You" is another CCR song with an extended jam/solo
Also, this reminds me, can we please get some Joe Cocker reactions??! ❤❤❤
Imagine a car full of teenagers, no seat belts, 1971, cruising the streets, with this blaring, with sub woofers..heaven!!!!

fRaZeR AsH Born and raised in SFO bay there have been a lot of good bands come that area. 😀
The 2 best songs ever covered. No one has covered them and not done a good job
Both versions are banging but I prefer CCR :)
One of the greatest artists of all time covering one of the greatest artists of all time. You can't go wrong. Love the reaction as always!
I'll never get tired of seeing his eyes light up every time he hears a cowbell!!
It was so cool of the California Raisins to allow CCR to cover this tune!
I totally forgot about that, lol!
@@PaulLucieACT032412 How can you forget clay raisins doing the Locomotion to this song? LOL
ha ha!
I have a California Raisins keychain someplace. It's a hard plastic rendering of one of the Claymation characters.
Classic
Playing records with Jamel. Always fun on a Thursday night. Or Friday. But especially Saturday, Sunday, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
Check out "Long as I Can See the Light" by CCR too! John's voice on that track is absolutely gorgeous
Mr. Very Kool just commented that on the other video. One of my favorites
@@awol7824 Jamel always seems to love that soulful stuff, I gotta see him check it out
Mr. Very Kool me too
The sax will melt him too.
The solos at the end just are amazing. Such amazing talent.
One of the best bass lines ever in rock & roll, by the great Stu Cook!!
I see you are breaking out the good ol fine wine of classic rock.
John is singing with his kids on TH-cam now in quarantine. Telling stories about his life. His story about following the Grateful Dead at Woodstock was halarious!!! “Have you ever seen the rain” is my fav song of CCR.
I love it when you get the "shoulder shuffle" going Jamel! At least that's what I'm calling it! 😄🤘🔈🎧
I love it when Iwas just groovin' to all this great music and open my eyes and Jamel is dancing there the same way. 🤣
I shoulder shuffle all the dang time!
The stank face and shoulders told me Jamel was loving this. When he started with the Temptation moves I lost it. Great.
Sweet Memories! My father (Korean War Veteran) and my cousin Sammy (Vietnam War Veteran) when he would be on leave from Nam. They would play CCR, this song especially. I was 12years old then. They always would blast it: my mother loved it also. Now I am 67 years old. Love it.
Makes me wanna sit in my old club house, with the incandescent velvet posters and the black light bulb. 😁
Another vote for "Run Through the Jungle."
Yes! Absolutely!
Nice song run through the jungle
Green River
Roger that a good one
Yes, but go with the extended version!
You keep doing it Jamel, you continue to go deeper into the well and pull out real gems out of the vault. Every time I think you've come up with the ultimate reaction you pull another one out. Kudos to you. This song brings back so many memories for me, but the one I cling to, the one that brings absolute joy and tears to my eyes is when I remember my dad purchasing this album "Cosmos Factory" and playing it on our simple little record player. We had just moved to Oakland and my dad worked near the studio CCR called "Cosmos Factory" after Doug Clifford their drummer, where they recorded this album.

Been listening to CCR since I was a very young man. I’m 71 now and still listen to them. They are my favorite group of all time. Just glad to see how much you enjoy their music.
Creedence Clearwater Revival released a song called "Proud Mary" that became a hit. Two years later Ike & Tina Turner released a cover of that song that also became a hit. You should react to "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Finally someone reacted to the long version of this song .... Thank you !
Can't go wrong with CCR noway no how!
"Run Through The Jungle"
"Lodi"
"Wrote A Song For Everyone
""Green River"
"Cross Tie Walking"
" Fortunate Son"
"Looking Out My Backdoor"
There's many more!
If you want a long one of CCR try
" Keep On Chooglin' "
Michael Fowler How can you not have Susie Q. on that list?
Also, you could add to this list
Proud Mary
Bad Moon Rising
Cotton Fields
Long As I See the Light
Long Tall Woman
Bootleg
Down on the corner
midnight special ?
The guitar solo is a triumph of taste and feel, Larry Carlton would be drooling! Jazz, blues, Gospel.
That funky guitar, bass line, and saxophone sounding vocals came together perfectly.
The great thing is he is still singing and producing music with his adult kids. Has done several live casual little private concerts for the covid thing. Self isolation. Brilliant. They will eternally be my fav band.
Jamel, your reactions kill me! You really feel the music and let it run through you. Keep it up.
When your band has 17 tracks on a 70's greatest hits album.
Joe Jackson Are you The Joe Jackson? Will I see you in The SundayPapers?
CCR: "What can we do with this song?"
Also CCR: "Let's take it to the swamplands!"
Outcome: Awesomeness!
This song has sounded good by everyone I’ve ever heard record it. It’s truly a masterpiece. The performer can make it their own and it’s still the same song, you can’t say that about a lot of good music, sometimes the performance makes the song and sometimes it’s the other way around. Give it to these boys and ya know it’s gonna be a for-real good time.
The extended "we know it's a cover so we gave you all the jam on the side" version.
There was two versions of this: the LP version that we just heard, and then the "Radio Play" or Single (45) version that Did end at the half way mark, it faded out after the vocals ended.
I heard the radio version first obviously but didn't know this long Jam session version existed until we got the album.

The CCR Chronicles set has that version. Been on CD for years
Cool thanks
You are correct. Also, the radio version used only the 2nd of those first two short guitar solos that you hear on this long version that came just before he sings the last chorus.
"they tryin' to kill me!" - LOL!

4:18 This is why I come here - to enjoy music I already know so well, vicariously.
Noah Namey he had that stankface going didn’t he?
That rhythm guitar shakes me every time...great days back in the early 90`s going camping with my dad on the Natal coast in South Africa with this playing constantly...
In the late 50s-60s I had my transistor radio (grandma bought me a new one each yr for my birthdays) under my pillow every nite to listen to Wolfman Jack, out of Del Rio Texas. CCR, DOOBIES all nite long. Some gave me the willies but I listened anyway.
Then it was tuned to WLS-50,000 watts out of Chicago.
Omg, me too with the transistor radio, got in trouble all the time. Still did it!! Gotta hear my music!
Me also but I grew up right outside of Chicago so Wls stayed on
Same here; got WLS 89 AM out of Chicago and fell in love with CCR by radio in highschool in the 70's.
I also listened to Wolfman Jack at night on my transistor radio, in my small hometown on the PA-NY border. Went thru a lot of 9 volt batteries! 🎶 ☮
Wolfman Jack. ❣
Thank you thank you thank you for listening to the full length version; one of the best, most captivating solos I've ever heard. Air guitar/air drums world championships every single time 😄😄😜
We just need one more - Have You Ever Seen The Rain
He actually did that one about 6 months ago. I love that song!
Why does everyone always ignore Lookin Out My Backdoor? Such a fun song
One of my faves!
that is my favorite CCR song
The scene in: 'The Big Lebowski' where The Dude drives away from the doctors office to this song always cracks me.
along with down by the corner
@@Kanieht.L *Down On The Corner
In my opinion this is one of the greatest, yet most underrated rock songs ever. So glad you did this.
This song takes me back, still as badass as ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ come on now 🎤 drop it!
I've seen CCR and John Fogerty more times in concert than any other band. Also, one of my favorite shows was the "John John Tour". Fogerty and Mellencamp; a great pairing, and great concert.
Jamel, you sir are my new binge watch. Thank you sir. Keep up the good work.
This is my favorite version of this song
0:55 just by the look on his face, I knew he liked this version from the start
I am, officially, going to be addressing you as MR. Jamel! So far, so great. I never thought I would get so much joy at watching someone else watch music. You nail it every time. Thanks for the joy, brother. Thanks for the fresh eyes on great classics, especially.
You can call me New England Glenn. You are reaching us, up here, in the Northeast. Keep on, keepin' on.
Want some brothers who could rock like CCR, do "Time has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers.
Indeed, I second this request another classic.
Immortal Serito yes but it should be the original 11 min version. So cool
Yes, please do react to this!
More CCR hits include "Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, and Have You Ever Seen the Rain"
Also known as Bathroom on the right
Midnight Special is a great song as well
@@Ethanakawalter THANK YOU! Midnight Special!!!!
I remember when Bad Moon Rising came out, I was 14 years old. We lived right by some boys that formed a band and they would play that song everyday, for a round 6 months or more.
I think he has already made a video for each of those.
Didn't remember how amazing their version actually is.
I was blown away the first time I heard it! Such a banger
Every time I hear this song it gives me goosebumps because this is REAL music! MURICA 🇺🇸
If you like Motown, you gotta check out Rare Earth. I Just Want To Celebrate is a good one to start with.
R.A Williams get ready is awesome as well
Yes, Get Ready!
R.A Williams true!
@@donpaxton8381 There's another 20-plus-minute jam, if he plays the full LP version!
Another vote for Rare Earth - Get Ready (long album version)
Who ever was the producer/engineer on this was a genius.
@Nature and Physics , I use to be a bouncer. Analysis on music, the only thing I didnt like was rap, tell me, do you heat instrument, not these cupid sinthesisezers
If you want to get a similar jam , check out “Get Ready” by Rare Earth. The drummer sings the Smokey Robinson classic and they are the only all white band in Motown Records at the time. Those guys are awesome !!
I had never heard this extended version before. Thanks for posting this.
He’s got such a southern sounding voice when he sings. I couldn’t believe it when I found out these guys are from El Cerrito! OK then. I like their song “Lodi.”
The song is better than the place
I was sure they were from one of the southern states...was genuinely shocked that they are from northern CA!
You know Jamel is digging a song when he gets the stank face and his shoulders start bouncing.
And he doesn’t hit pause 15 seconds into the song! LOL
Jamel love your reactions , and your selections , may I suggest sly and the family stones Woodstock performance
"Tha's some good good! That's the fonky chonky!"
Don't forget the dad eyes. LOL. LOVE THIS GUY. Music is the only thing we have left sometimes. Ironically, it is all we need.
He's awesome
CCR always makes my foot tap. Love their music. “Fortunate Son” is 2and a half minutes of greatness.
One of the best covers of Marvin Gaye I've ever heard.
But of course Marvin was covering Gladys Knight 😃
Not a cover John Fogerty is the writer of this song
Donnella Treadway no
Written by Whitfield and Strong
Who wrote many hits for Motown
@@bapples , thank you for clarifying, it makes me sense now.
Can't remember where I heard that John Fogerty wrote that.
Thank God someone reviewed the long version, good for you. These solos are to die for
Jamel, I consider myself a ccr expert , before grapevine , their first single was suzie q and I put a spell on you. Most listeners thought it was singer was black from Louisiana. John forgery voice is timeless and his guitar playing is out of this world. He is actually on board of directors of the rock and roll hall of fame. Please listen to more his music! Bayou country is best record along with green river. Unfortunately he did not get along with his brother after he left the band. While another story!! Keep rockin
While you’re on the Creedence kick, please check out ‘as long as I can see the light’, off the cosmos factory album. Even if you don’t react to it, listen for your self!
Yes, that one!!!!
^^^^THIS!!!! Fave CCR tune
Put a candle in the window
