John Fogerty has one of the most unique and iconic voices in rock. Instantly recognizable.

Tina and Elvis LOVED CCR, just like everyone else.

With all due respect to Tina and Ike who introduced us to this song, I still think that the CCR original is a gem :)

It's like sitting around blazing with a friend listening to some of the best music ever made. It's real cool seeing someone my age experiencing a lot of this for the first time.

Fun fact, the "Proud Mary" was a coal fired, steam powered, wheel styled river boat.

Now you know why we all loved Creedence back then and still do!!!

one of the best bands of all time

I love watching you find the origin of a song! I'm a Blues fan to the core of my soul. I'm also the strangest CCR fan ever. They obviously sang Delta Blues and did it so well, their music will endure forever...but they're from California and that's so weird! (How do they know how we grew up and felt about it? How do they understand Blackwater and paddle-wheelers and porch sittin?) I grew up with ccr and it still seems odd lol. They did so many "swamp songs" in a time when only us swamp folk understood it that, in the Rock genre, they're still the best that ever did it.

I Put A Spell On You has a great guitar solo ☮️💜

My dad loved this band everytime I hear them I think of them I'm 16 and he passed away 10/7/21 💔 at 61, I love u dad

John Fogerty is a great songwriter, singer and all around dude. Please check out his music after CCR when he went solo. THE OLD MAN DOWN THE ROAD is the perfect song to get a taste of his solo career and get a firm grasp of who gave CCR their special sound. The song CENTERFIELD is also just a fun summer song.

Ike and Tina really made it their own, but CCR were the originators. Such an iconic song!

CCR was the original. They did it first and had the biggest hit with it. It peaked at #2 for CCR and #4 for Tina.

John wrote it ❤️. Your reaction made my entire day.

Yep, thats why Tina always says "This is how WE do, Proud Mary".

This is the music my dad listened to, and he passed down his love of Rock and Southern Rock down to me. I've been listening to CCR since I was 5 years old. Thank you, this brings back so many great memories and it makes me miss my Daddy. My favorites have always been "Bad Moon Rising" and "Suzie Q."

You should definitely react to their songs Lodi, Long as I Can See the Light and Lookin Out My Back Door. They were my mom's favorite band, and we played one of their songs when my mom passed away earlier this year. It's a joy to see you discover them!

What a sensation these guys were at the time,still as sensational hearing them today IMO!

It's great to see how happy this music makes you. It's made to be felt. CCR had their own sound

Yo!!! CCR puts a smile on the face and warmth in the soul!!!

Just wanna add Black Capricorn Day, which has an excellent music video.

CCR for ever,very great band and very great music! 🎸🥁🎤

CCR single-handedly invented what was called "swamp rock". It was a taut, which had elements of white country and southern white funk distilled into energetic three-minute singles. He and his group were inspired by the "redneck bluecollar country" and black " funk and soul" music of the time. Like Elvis...he took what he liked from both sides and mixed it. His parents were from the rural midwest, and Montana- he was born in Southwest Cali, but he immersed himself in southern artists growing up.

Many great artists have covered John Fogerty's amazing songs, CCR are🔥

Love how you did the Ike “Rollin” part❤️. Great look on your face when you learned who wrote it; I get so hyped when I learn the backstories and connections click 😀. So glad you dig Creedence!!!!!

A great reaction from the greatest group!!!

I like both versions tremendously. Ike and Tina made it their own and it's always so fun to watch the live performance with Tina and the Ikettes dancing to it too. Classic as classic gets!

Love the way you get so excited Van and I do too. It's amazing music and you have great taste!

Growing up I was told they were swamp music!! I love them

"Have You Ever Seen The Rain", another really good Creedance Clearwater Revival song...

He's getting that pronunciation from all the blues legends who travelled from Mississippi up to Chicago (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, etc.).

Next you will have to go "Down on the corner" with John Fogerty and CCR

Proud Mary was written by John Fogerty in 1969 but then released Ike and Tina Turner who had a frenzied hit top hit with it. Of course they switched it up and it's a completely more soul version that I also love.

CCR's was a big hit when it came out. Hit #2 on Billboard. Ike & Tina's cover peaked at #4.

Don't feel too bad, Ike Turner was a great songwriter. In fact, Ike Turner wrote the first-ever Rock 'n' Roll song, "Rocket 88" featuring Jackie Brenston singing lead.

I watch your reactions because of you. You really get into your reactions. You love the music

One of first songs I learned on guitar,rock blues and soul,golden age for music,everybody had their own sound

Love seeing you get hooked on CCR. It's impossible not to!

The train that provided the title of this song got its name because it departed Jackson, Mississippi at 12:05 a.m. on Sunday mornings, arriving at Parchman Prison, 130 miles to the north, at dawn. The prison, also known as Parchman Farm (or more formally, Mississippi State Prison), was on thousands of acres of land, where the inmates did hard labor. While they worked, they would sometimes sing about the Midnight Special, which brought visits from friends and family, so for conjugal visits, the first of their kind.

"Proud Mary" is a song by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival written by John Fogerty. It was released as a single in January 1969 by Fantasy Records and on the band's second studio album, Bayou Country.

CCR is my fav band of all time.

Okay, best reaction video of this song. You really felt the vibes of this song and showed it!

You can never mistake John Fogerty's voice for any other.

CCR has so many great songs 🎵 love it my glory days

John e Proud Mary, John Fogerty's full statement: The main character is a black woman who is also an assassin. And apparently, her name is Mary. I wrote the song “Proud Mary” fifty years ago, and I was very excited to have written such a good song.Jan 12, 2018

Your reaction made me sooooo happy! Have loved CCR for years

True rock legends right there. I have a friend in northern Cali that met them at a local store during a white out and the band spent the night at his place jamming out all night! I guess it was their first time trying some real Humboldt straight from the source too! I love that story Everytime I tell it gives me goosebumps! C.C.R. 4ever 🤟🔥

Watching you discover things about and enjoying CCR really makes me happy! Love your channel!

Show, que ótima reação desse grande sucesso do Creedence

Seeing how happy this made you made my day a happier day. That was awesome van

Still love listening to CCR. I enjoy listening to both versions-each one is great but each has its own style.

Wait'll you hear him sing "I Hoyd It Through the Grapevine" (be sure to get the 11-minute version).

Randy Travis the man who saved country. Deep baritone voice. Get on him before its too late. "1982" "Three wooded crosses" "walked on water" list could keep going and going

Great find because ccr is the original thank you for the memories.

Van wish I was your neighbor so I could come over to your pad and hang out. You keep me laughing with your pure love of life and music. Keep on truckin. Best wishes to you and yours. Steve

You should check out the Allman Brothers Band the pride of Macon, Georgia. Duane Allmans studio work with Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin is incredible as well.

Ya know what they rolln down on the river...proud Mary 😎

LFR Family bringing smiles to everyone yet again!!!

In the movie "What's love got to do with it" when they perform this on stage they say "performing Credence Clearwater Revival" here's ike and Tina...

CCR's music will survive long after cockroaches are gone. "Timeless" was made to describe what the boys put down on tape. Its hard to describe, but absolutely unmistakable. 4 men in total unity playing the simplest music to the highest effect. Fogerty's voice is, of course, peerless, but Stu and Doug may be the best rhythm section rock ever saw and they are soooo central to the sound.

Don't apologize for your language. We're not easily offended. We're not woke we are awake

John was singing with his guitar…💖

A special song in my house growing up.

It’s all good ain’t nothing wrong with being proud of your culture man !

“Ok!”I ain’t going to stop it no more”! “I promise”! 😂😂

Great song. Thanks for the reaction. John Fogerty went on to have a solo career. “Rock and Roll Girls” and “Centerfield” off the album Centerfield are very cool pieces.

Long as I can see the light!

I think this was my favorite of all your videos so far. Seriously. Out of all of them. I've seent em.

Thank you for sharing this with me

Look at this way, a great cover of a great song is about making it your own while keeping close to the classic... ike and Tina did just that, they threw a RnB flavor into swamp rock... just like CCR threw the swamp rock flavor into Marvin Gayes classic Heard it through the Grapevive.... good music is good music... enjoy your journey!!!

As Conway Twitty once said, "A Good Song Don't Care Who Sings It!"

“Looking out my Back Door” by them should be next!! You’ll love.

CCr they are all souther men with the beautiful feeling.
