CCR was the sound of a generation! I always think of our guys in Vietnam at that time. The protests in the street and us trying to figure it all out. A pivotal time in the world for sure. Thanks you two, love it! Hippie time!
What?? CCR didn't put a twist on a classic. LOL John Fogerty wrote and released this ORIGINAL in 1969. Tina Turner, Elton John and Cher all released covers the following year.
I can't believe because you know of the Ike & Tina version but didn't know they we're covering a CCR song you think it wasn't written by Fogerty for CCR . John Fogerty is one of the best songwriters of the 20th century , period .
This is such a great song written by John & recorded in 1968. Ike & Tina Turner released their version of "Proud Mary" In 1971. CCR has so much good music. "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Lodi", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.
Bob Dylan and George Harrison ran into John at a Taj Mahal show and Dylan persuaded him to start playing CCR songs in his solo shows again. Glad John finally got his song rights back.
Fogerty was in a live concert with some famous musicians and the audience asked for "Proud Mary". He initially refused but one of the people onstage said, "if you don't play it, it will forever be Ike & Tina's song".......he sang it!!!
I believe it was Bob Dylan that told him that. CCR original is much better than Tina's version. Tina was great in her own right but this song belongs to John.
The guy (John Fogerty) singing and playing lead guitar wrote this song. He wrote, sang, and played lead guitar on all the Creedence songs you've reacted to besides the covers ("I Put a Spell on You" and "Heard it Through the Grapevine").
John Fogerty wrote this fantastic song. It was before the Turners version. Also wrote Bad Moon Rising, Fortune Son, Sweet Hitchhiker, Lodi, Traveling Band, Up around the Bend and more. So incredibly talented and a great singer.
John Fogerty of CCR wrote this and about 20 other hits in a time span of about 3 or 4 years. Saw him last year and he's still rockin'. What a set list! 🎸
Back in the day, we called it "Cross Country," because it crossed over. That line was pretty easy to cross back then, with these guys, the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Emmy Lou Harris, and probably a dozen others. I loved it.
Memorial Weekend 1968 Lake isabella California. Blazing hot, even at night. This was blasting and we were dancing our butts off. What a great time that was. CCR always brings up that memory. Was anyone else there?
Debbie - Fabulous submission, performance, and one to share. Harri, Your review and commentary were at your consistently high standard. Okay, those are all the treats from me.
Back in the day we didn't have to label. It borders on blue-eyed rucj n' soul. Everyone was groovin' on everyone else and putting it into the mix. CCR was definitely one of the premier sounds of the day, crossing genres.
This song was becoming big when my ship USS Yellowstone AD-27 set sail for the Med, early Nov, '69. No one was able to find the album before we left. I was wondering around Naples, Italy, where we were stationed, and found the album. I became very popular on board. This will always be my favorite version, taking nothing away from Ike & Tina. Southern Rock
Probably thir most famous hit out of so many, but what a hits band they were and some great albums too. So many amateur/semi-pro groups were doing this at holiday camps in the late 60s/early 70s when we went up to the Norfolk coast for holidays near Great Yarmouth. Classic guitar riff/licks song that still delivers and reminds of a landmark rock era. Wonderful.
Harri this is the original Tina's was way later! they made this song, It's about the south,Paddle-wheeler river boats! they call it" Swamp rock!" even though they were from California!
CCR scored no2 in1969, Ike & Tina only no4 in 1971. One might assume that Tina was lucky that CCR disbanded so early after on 16 october 1972. PM and the show around it shaved her ass in the musicworld after the divorce from Ike.
I am probably really being trivial, but one thing I didn't like about the Ike & Tina Turner version is when she sings-----But I never lost a minute of sleeping-I was worryin' about the way things might have been, completely turning the meaning of the line upside down.
CCR and Ike^Tina both great versions ... love both but I would choose Ike^Tina for presentation and especially the version done by Tina on her own... thanks
It's all of those things, but you forgot "swamp Rock" - It was the first hit Fogerty wrote - And Ike & Tina 's version is great too although tempo-wise totally different.
Two minutes of research would have saved you getting people’s hackles up before making your misinformed statement about writing credits.. I love you Harri, but sometimes I wish you took more care with informing yourself. It wouldn’t hurt anyone if you googled songs before posting just to obtain writing credits, and perhaps release dates.
I've had that thought about reactors, sometimes. But they might want to go into a video fresh, knowing as little as possible to make it more spontaneous. Although he knows some of the song's names beforehand. If you research certain things, you can run into too much information inadvertently.
John Fogerty, lead singer and guitarist of CCR, wrote Proud Mary. CCR had the first recording of it in 1969, two years before the Ike and Tina version. IMO, Ike and Tina Turner destroyed the song with their over-the-top interpretation. It's supposed to be about living an easy, carefree, rural life. And Ike and Tina also changed the lyric "And we never lost one minute of sleepin' worryin' 'bout the way things might have been" to "And we never lost one minute of sleepin', we were worryin'' 'bout the way things might have been." This turned the meaning upside-down. The point is that they *weren't* worrying, not that they were. It's not soft rock. It's swamp rock, a sound CCR came up with. Air Supply did soft rock. Do did Carole King, The Eagles, Cat Stevens, and Chicago. Not CCR.
John Fogerty wrote Proud Mary. It was a CCR song before Tina Turner sang it.
Yes toby! Fogerty is one amazing songwriter/singing/guitarist talent. The inventor of swamp rock and from near San Francisco.
@@danielwellman9865 I just saw Fogerty in concert two weeks ago (playing alongside his sons). Was wonderful.
Came here to say the same thing!
@@tobysmith3351 CCR is my driving down to the Lake of the Ozarks music.
Swamp rock/Americana
This is the ORIGINAL band and song. They didn't give it a "new swing", this is the way it is supposed to be sung.
CCR was the sound of a generation! I always think of our guys in Vietnam at that time. The protests in the street and us trying to figure it all out. A pivotal time in the world for sure. Thanks you two, love it! Hippie time!
CCR is timeless.
they WROTE this classic suh lol
Both versions were phenomenal and so different from each other.
Fogerty has often said that he loved what Ike and Tina Turner did with the song. Different but kept the spirit of it.
What??
CCR didn't put a twist on a classic. LOL
John Fogerty wrote and released this ORIGINAL in 1969.
Tina Turner, Elton John and Cher all released covers the following year.
Elvis not forget
I can't believe because you know of the Ike & Tina version but didn't know they we're covering a CCR song you think it wasn't written by Fogerty for CCR . John Fogerty is one of the best songwriters of the 20th century , period .
John wrote it. CCR's sound was perceived to be right out of the Louisiana bayou, but they hailed from California.
This is such a great song written by John & recorded in 1968. Ike & Tina Turner released their version of "Proud Mary" In 1971. CCR has so much good music. "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Lodi", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.
CCR didn't write or perform Heard it though the grapevine first.
Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded it first.
I remember seeing Gladys do it on The Muppet Show too. 🤙😎
Bob Dylan and George Harrison ran into John at a Taj Mahal show and Dylan persuaded him to start playing CCR songs in his solo shows again. Glad John finally got his song rights back.
Creedence Clearwater Revival legendary group
John Fogerty is still touring (with his two sons) and his brand of neo-swamp rock invented a new sound in popular music. Thanks Debbie and Harri.
Saw them last year. Still great.
Fogerty was in a live concert with some famous musicians and the audience asked for "Proud Mary". He initially refused but one of the people onstage said, "if you don't play it, it will forever be Ike & Tina's song".......he sang it!!!
Fogerty put out a lot of real rock'n'roll including Proud Mary,but it was Tina Turner who cranked it up even louder and harder and ended up owning it.
@@Alwayswilling But it will always be a CCR song. 🙂
No she didn't own it just because she sang it, always was always will be John Fogertys song👍✌️@@Alwayswilling
@@Alwayswilling I grew up with CCR so I still think they own it, but Tina did smash with it
I believe it was Bob Dylan that told him that. CCR original is much better than Tina's version. Tina was great in her own right but this song belongs to John.
The guy (John Fogerty) singing and playing lead guitar wrote this song. He wrote, sang, and played lead guitar on all the Creedence songs you've reacted to besides the covers ("I Put a Spell on You" and "Heard it Through the Grapevine").

It still baffles me how they never had a number one hit with SO many great songs in the CCR catalog.
This might be one of my faves by CCR. Mind you Tina was a very hot mama doing this. Thank you Debbie and Harri.
John Fogerty of CCR wrote this and about 20 other hits in a time span of about 3 or 4 years. Saw him last year and he's still rockin'. What a set list! 🎸

😂😂😂 lovely reaction and here by accepted....

Debbie - This was another spectacular and memorable CCR submission. Bravo!!!! One can never get enough of Fogerty and CCR.
Love CCR...
Born On The Bayou!! 👍🏾
love it, no one did it better in my opinion
You mean, Ike & Tina gave it a new swing.
A dude named John Fogerrty wrote this song.
He was in a band called Credeence Clearwater Revival.
Tioning and boining!!! Love Fogerty!!❤
One of my favorite CCR songs! Actually, one of my favorite songs, period.
Thanks very much for the request, Debbie, and your reaction, Harri.
Love CCR!! Actually got to see them in concert in the early’70s
One of the many great songs written by John Fogerty❤
Harri, This is Creedences song. They wrote it,had a hit with it first in 1969. The Tina Turner version is a cover from 1971 😂
John Fogerty of CCR wrote, and he’s still with us.
“SWAMP ROCK”…
Ask my kids what is the RULE; Never Change the Station on CCR!
Also with Prince
Micheal Jackson and
Whitney Houston, for me.
Memorial Weekend 1968 Lake isabella California. Blazing hot, even at night. This was blasting and we were dancing our butts off. What a great time that was. CCR always brings up that memory. Was anyone else there?
My first CCR single...And I loved playing it on my guitar. (But Green River will always be my favorite CCR song.)
Just saw Fogerty in concert a couple of weeks ago and still sounds pretty darn good for a 79 year old.
The lead singer John Fogerty wrote it.
This is the original version, January 1969.
Love this song so very much. The did more than justice to it. Love your reaction!
Great song. Love CCR and John Fogerty's voice. Thanks Harri and Debbie ❤
I think the kind of Rock is; Swamp, or Southern, or Country...oh hell, it's just CCR!
Patty-I saw them in concert in the 70's with Buddy Miles snd Tower of Power. Awesome concert.
Debbie - Fabulous submission, performance, and one to share. Harri, Your review and commentary were at your consistently high standard. Okay, those are all the treats from me.
Back in the day we didn't have to label. It borders on blue-eyed rucj n' soul. Everyone was groovin' on everyone else and putting it into the mix. CCR was definitely one of the premier sounds of the day, crossing genres.
Great clasic song, hugs whit México :D
My daughter loves CCR
You’re not wrong. It’s got it all. I hope you check out more CCR !
yup, john fogarty wrote proud mary, Turners did a good job with it, but theirs is a cover, these guys are the originals
Memories
Io amo CCR Ray Charles Beatles ... Ma ancora di più Amo chi racchiude tutti questi talenti in una persona unica ... Piano Man è talento totale

John Fogarty was a genius
Great song, I love it!

I can recommend Suzie Q or Who'll Stop The Rain
I had the song down on the corner and proud Mary on a 45 that I wore out
Harri this is the original Tina's was way later! they made this song, It's about the south,Paddle-wheeler river boats! they call it" Swamp rock!" even though they were from California!
Thanks Harri. Just to set the record straight, John Fogarty wrote and recorded this before Ike and Tina did it. 🌺✌️
If you want some CCR blues have a listen to 'Graveyard Train' from the same album 'Bayou Country', as 'Proud Mary'. Great set. Cheers Harri ✌
CCR scored no2 in1969, Ike & Tina only no4 in 1971. One might assume that Tina was lucky that CCR disbanded so early after on 16 october 1972. PM and the show around it shaved her ass in the musicworld after the divorce from Ike.
“Swamp Rock” I think is a good term.
❤❤❤❤❤
CCR version released in 1969. Tina Turner's in 1971. I prefer the original version .
Had to click cuz you just know there will be comments...
Louise Brooks would be jealous of John's haircut!
John Fogerty Wrote This Song In 1968.
Try listening to "Keep on Chooglin" by CCR a great jam!!!!!!!! really worth listening to!
I would consider "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", etc, as SWAMP - A - BILLY...
Try listening to the song my Phoebe Snow "Every Night" written by Paul McCartney, love it!!!!!!!!!!
This is their song.
Southern Rock
Harry. IT WAS THEIR SWING
John's song, but Tina's legs..........how to choose.
👍👍👍👋👋👋
CCR and CSNY introduced country rock and Eagles made it bigger
This is a CCR song. Tina covered it.
I am probably really being trivial, but one thing I didn't like about the Ike & Tina Turner version is when she sings-----But I never lost a minute of sleeping-I was worryin' about the way things might have been, completely turning the meaning of the line upside down.
Their song originally, but they did a handful of great covers
This is the ORIGINAL Proud Mary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CCR and Ike^Tina both great versions ... love both but I would choose Ike^Tina for presentation and especially the version done by Tina on her own... thanks
It’s only Rock N Roll !
I don't know if it's an official term, but I'd call most of CCR songs "Cajun Rock."
Swamp Rock is the correct term.
Fogarty wrote it…Tina gave it a new twist!!
California Swamp Rock. :)
I suppose you found out by now, it was Ike & Tina Turner that put a different spin on this original
It's all of those things, but you forgot "swamp Rock" - It was the first hit Fogerty wrote - And Ike & Tina 's version is great too although tempo-wise totally different.
It happened again, Harry
It's a CCR song and CCR did it Best ❤
John fogerty and Tina sang it together also. Check u tube
Can you do me a Favor and do Bloodstone “Natural High”. Please
Correct, you don't know.. no worries...
So glad this was not the studio version dubbed over a live performance. Man that gets old and it's phony. This was the real deal.
: )
I’m surprised you never heard this … It is a CCR song .. John Fogerty wrote it… Tina Turner covered it
Two minutes of research would have saved you getting people’s hackles up before making your misinformed statement about writing credits.. I love you Harri, but sometimes I wish you took more care with informing yourself.

You Should Check Out Some Eagles Songs. I Think You Would Enjoy Them Too, If You Haven't Already.?.
I like this original better than Tina Turner. I liked Tina-saw her in concert many years ago. John Fogerty wrote so many great songs.
Fogerty wrote this and CCR did it first.
CCR is the best with this song it's theirs, Tina did okay though.
You need to do research while viewing the video.
John Fogerty, lead singer and guitarist of CCR, wrote Proud Mary. CCR had the first recording of it in 1969, two years before the Ike and Tina version.
IMO, Ike and Tina Turner destroyed the song with their over-the-top interpretation. It's supposed to be about living an easy, carefree, rural life. And Ike and Tina also changed the lyric "And we never lost one minute of sleepin' worryin' 'bout the way things might have been" to "And we never lost one minute of sleepin', we were worryin'' 'bout the way things might have been." This turned the meaning upside-down. The point is that they *weren't* worrying, not that they were.
It's not soft rock. It's swamp rock, a sound CCR came up with. Air Supply did soft rock. Do did Carole King, The Eagles, Cat Stevens, and Chicago. Not CCR.
Swampy rock ?
