    My Husband used to perform this song. This is my kind of music, I just can't relate to todays music. He did A lot of CCR, Bob Seger, Kenny Rodgers, Doobie Brothers, Elvis, but my favorite was when he did House of the rising Sun. I sure do miss hearing his voice! R.I.P. baby, you're signing with Elvis now! :(

    I have seen many reactions that young people make for one of these bands from the 60's or 70's and they almost always are amazed at how great those bands were. If I could offer what I think is the reason those OLD bands were so great. First, they LOVED the music and they LOVED making music and they were willing to practice HOURS every day to get their songs down as perfect as they could get them. Many of today's singers get started, not because they love the music, but because they want to be a CELEBRITY! These old bands got started because they loved the music and it was almost an obsession with them to make music. Second, when these bands were recording, they did not have endless tracks where if the guitarist made a mistake they could just redo HIS track. Nope. They had ONE track so if the guitarist made a mistake they had to redo EVERYONE'S part and just redo the whole thing. This put a great deal of pressure on everyone in the band to get it right! And obviously because they loved the music they were willing to put in the practice necessary to "get it right". My father was not professional but he sang in a gospel quartet in his college and he told me they would not sing a new song in church or on the radio until they had first practiced the song at least ONE HUNDRED times. They were just a college quartet but they refused to perform in front of anyone until they had the song as perfect as they could get it. If I could compare that to how some people feel about singing in public today... there is a man who sang solos in my church and very often I would see him select a song from the church hymnal as the congregation was gathering for the start of service and then he would get up and sing it, not having practiced it even ONE time! Obviously, his thinking was extremely different from the thinking of my father and it made me cringe to see how casual he was about singing in a church service. I might add that his refusal to be bothered to practice his song was very obvious as he started singing. The key was often too high or too low for him. He sometimes got his timing wrong. He quite often stumbled over the words. He sometimes got the tune slightly wrong. It is undoubtedly because of the way I was raised but I would sit there thinking, "Dude, if you can't be bothered to practice, DON'T SING!"

    Personally, I think their version of Hello Mary Lou is lifeless in comparison to their other work. They perform it competently but it's got none of the soul and passion that makes the CCR sound - but that was from their last album when they were on the verge of an acrimonious break-up so that might have something to do with it.

    "A traditional folk song thought to have originated among prisoners in the American South. The song refers to the passenger train Midnight Special and its "ever-loving light" (sometimes "ever-living light"). The song was first commercially recorded on the OKeh label in 1926 as "Pistol Pete's Midnight Special" by Dave "Pistol Pete" Cutrell (a member of McGinty's Oklahoma Cow Boy Band)."

    It's not written by Leadbelly it's a "prison standard" he made it popular tough, the earliest recording was made by a man named Howard Odum in 1905. The Midnight Special is referral to a train passing by the prison if you where lucky she would shine here ever lovin' light on you, the train symbolizing freedom.

    ‘Midnight Special’ was first recorded in print in 1905 and there was a couple of versions released before his. More than likely it was originally written 10-20 years before the 1900s and by a black inmate that died in prison and sadly we will probably never know his real identity.

I think you're quickly discovering that while you might like one song better than another, Jamel, there is no such thing as a bad CCR song. It just doesn't exist. So, I won't make a request - anything you react to by CCR gets a thumbs up from me.

    If I am not mistaken, it’s a song about being in jail, I believe in Sugarland, Texas. If the train that ran by the prison at midnight shone its light on you, it meant you were getting paroled. That’s why John kept asking to have the “ever-loving light shine on me”.

I got to meet him during a concert about 10 years ago, I was on the front row and had written a letter to him in large letters and just laid it on the stage in front of him and he walked over and stopped the show to talk to me. He even gave me the guitar pick he had just used!! Great moment for me!!!

    Dude, I'm 30 years old and this is one of the first bands my father introduced to me when I was 11-12. I'm hooked on them since then and they are still one of my favourites. And believe me, I've invested lots of times to look for bands with a similar sound. There are... NONE! 👌 So unique with their swamp rock sound for a west coast band.

    When I had lost everything and was homeless I spent a few nights in a gospel shelter. Some pretty rough characters in there. A Christian band came to perform and they treated us to Midnight Special. They were remarkable musicians. Their performance got me out of my funk and I was able to get back on my feet. Now I'm doing well. The Midnight Special is hope. I love this song.

    The talent of the band was John Fogerty. The proof was in their last album where John let them do what they wanted because before on all of the other albums John was like a mini dictator and the band thought they could make just as good a album as the rest of them. Needless to say it was a flop. They ended up breaking up and the split saw the brothers never making up with Tom Fogerty passing away. There is a youtube video of John explaining his side of the breakup. These people even sued John for sounding to much like himself. He won the lawsuit. Luckily John is still around and has had a couple of videos with him playing with his kids at home during this stay at home times. You should check out some of his Solo career hits like Centerfield, Old Man Down the Road. There are others less known.

    Wilma Lee Cooper, a Country singer wrote this song and she and her husband, Stoney Cooper recorded it in 1959. Actual name is Big Midnight Special. But Internet claims it as just being a traditional song. This is the first time I've ever heard CCR sing it but I've heard many Country music stars sing it.

    Just to be as transparent as possible, I'm 46. Some say I have an old soul. When I first learned how to drive I was driving my mom's Saturn and I had only one tape. Chronicle by CCR. To this day, people remember me, be it friends I haven't seen in years or decades. Nine years ago, my nephew was born. At age 3, I introduced him to "Down On the Corner". He not only remembers it but knows how to play the bass line for the whole song. Keep it up Jamel! I love watching your reactions to new stuff and if I could request "Down On the Corner", when you have time, I promise you will not be disappointed.
