CCR is great. Go down that rabbit hole.

Now you are ready for Born on the Bayou and I put a spell on you!

Cannot wait for Fortunate Son, Born on the Bayou, and Run Through the Jungle...all bangers

You have to react to their "Green River" " Run Through The Jungle" and "Fortunate Son"

Def need to hear the extended version

It's excellent. The extended version of Susie Q is also worth a listen.

THE best version of this song ever. Just love John Fogerty's voice.

OMG I Loovveeeee CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL so much !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

There's more. : ) CCR kills it. Used in a California raisin commercial, it was jokingly called "the raaaiiisin song". Grandma was probably rockin' the Marvin Gaye recording. It's a classic.

NO! Look it up, written by John Fogerty

CCR, my all time fav band!! Yep I'm old!!

Such a great song! CCR has always been one of my favorites. John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. They don't have a bad song! Huge list of hits! "Proud Mary", "I Put A Spell On You", "Fortunate Son", "Down On The Corner", "Green River", "The Midnight Special", "Susie Q", "Born On The Bayou", "Travelin' Band", "Run Through The Jungle", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Sweet Hitchhiker", "Bad Moon Rising" etc.

This was recorded at around 1 AM at Woodstock 1969, that is why it is so dark.., I was there and so close to the stage I could see John Fogerty's Dirt on his boots, hitting 80 now, Woodstock was the Greatest 4 days of my life...This song was GREAT but you really need to hear them sing I Put A Spell On You, also recorded the same night...will blow you away.

For more of that Southern sound. CCR "Down on the Corner"

Gladys knight and the Pips was the first one to record this song in 1967 then Marvin Gay in 1968

“Heard It Through the Grapevine” was released in 1966. It was recorded by several artists as hits. Gladys Knight & the Pips(1967), Marvin Gaye(1968), Smokey Robinson & the Miracles(1966), and CCR who made an 11 minute version in 1970.

I think your mom was listening to Marvin Gaye. Great song 🔥

I’m pretty sure Fogerty spells ‘heard’ ‘hoid!’

Check out FORTUNATE SON, Who'll stop The Rain, John Fogerty is on point with vocals 🎶 CCR was amazing 🎉

You really need to hear the extended version of this song.

Thank you. I love CCR's version. Having said that Marvin Gaye's version is my absolute favorite.

Makes me remember my oldest brother who's gone now. He brought this CCR album, Cosmo's Factory, home when it came out in '70. Darn near wore out the turntable!

I loveeee seeing you so excited about CCR! They covered this but it’s definitely a fave! My Nanie (grandmother) LOVED John Fogerty (lead singer). On her deathbed we had a discman CD player playing CCR’s greatest hits and she was tapping her finger along to the beat of these hits as she transitioned to her heavenly home. I will never forget that and years later I saw John Fogerty live from front row and it was magical and emotional!

This song was written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong for Motown, & was 1st released by Gladys Knight & the Pips in '67. CCR's cover was released in '70, & is probably the most recognized version. Thanks for your reaction.

Orange juice from a grapevine!

Yes! The 11-minutue version is CCR trance music at its best. If you want to hear Fogerty play the guitar, this is a must. The shorter versions, much as I love them, are so unsatisfying by comparison.

You always make me smile watching your reactions. CCR is awesome, they don't have a bad song!!

John the lead singer wrote the song Rollin’ on the river and let Ike and Tina record it and later CCR went into the studio and recorded it .

There's a longer audio version they did where the instrumentals are extended and really shine. I highly recommend listening to it if you get a chance to.

You may have heard the Marvin Gaye's version which was great also but these dudes are awesome also on it.

Brilliant

just for fun check out the claymation version - The California Raisins sing "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" - a Will Vinton production 1:59

My favorite is Traveling Band!

Gotta do " Midnight Special" and Fortunate Son.

I was waiting for you to react to this one😊 love CCR and your reaction to this song🤗✌️ They are legends.

The song was written for Motown records in 1966, It was for Gladys Knight and the Pips. It's been covered by many artists since then. The Pips recorded it as a single in 1967. Marvin Gaye released it in 1968 and CCR released it in 1970. All three of these versions are great, but IMO, I'd have to give it to CCR for the best version of the song, they nailed it. Such a good vibing song.

Check out their live version of I put a spell on you.

Also review Proud Mary!!!

DUDE,,,,I loved it when you hummed during the song, you got some chops. hum during born on the bayou,,,, I'm an old f*ck who likes renovation:)

This song was first and originally done by Gladys Knight & the Pips [1967]. Many others did this song after them.

You should do the long version. It has a fantastic instrumental jam.

@@ABtheKreator Maybe react to the long version? Regardless, you should check it out, as it's a brilliant instrumental. The only other CCR tune that I know of that has a short version out there is "Born on the Bayou", the full version of which is 5 minutes. There is an extended edition of "Bootleg" called "Bootleg (Alternative Take)" which I like better than the shorter one, because, well, it's more CCR. They also had two versions of "Before You Accuse Me", and both are very different and great in their own right. One was only released on the 40th anniversary edition of their debut album, and I'm amazed it stayed locked away for that long.

If you enjoyed this, check out their many hits....especially I put a spell on you....incredible 😊

My parents and I once argued about what was the best version of this song; My Mom liked Marvin Gaye’s best, Dad (RIP) liked Gladys Knights best, and CCR was my favorite ❤

The best US original band for ever.miss you CCR

I love the bass vocal harmony on the verse. In sneaks up like a snake on the grapevine

CCR has so many great songs!

Best damn channel on KZread 😎 Roll on brother 🙌🏻

This song has been covered by many great artist in history on music from Marvin Gaye, Gladdis Knight, yo Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Great to watch you enjoy this version. It is a blast

You crack me up! I heard this song when I was about 8 years old--loved the rhythm of it but I didn't understand the words. Mt dad had to explain what "heard ot through the grapevine"meant.😂 Still an awesome song.

This is an awesome cover! Love CCR. Love your reaction!

I love CCRS music ❤️

The Miracles were the first to record the song in 1966. Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded "Grapevine" 1967. Marvin Gaye version 1968 . CCR's was 1970.

Serious groove

If I'm not mistaken, Marvin Gaye co-wrote this and Gaye, Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded it early on. That may be one of the ones you remember. Gladys kicks it. One of my favorites is this one. Creedence was a phenomenal band. Their Fortunate Son was a symbolic song for our men fighting in VietNam in the 60-70s.Good stuff.

My momma was a CCR fan so the only version she heard growing up of this song was CCR

Great reaction and chair dancing as always AB!❤

I love that this band isn’t even southern but they said “hoid” instead of heard. That’s a sound heard in parts of the south that are known as “nurse words”

Fogerty is the greatest front man never to be mentioned in a discussion of the greatest eock and eoll front men. His vocals are incomparable, hes a good guitarist, plays the harmonica, and plays thw saxophone. Hes a one man band if he wants to be, but he has a stellar backing band too. Could yiu hear the extremely low, baritone part in the harmonies? Im not even sure which band member does that but it's too freaking cool.

Grandma prolly played the Marvin Gaye version. That has always been my favorite. Well, that and the California Raisins.

I believe it was Gladys Night and The Pips who first recorded it in 1967 at Motown Reords it was written by Whitfield and Strong in 1966. Thanks for another great one AB.

This is only a few minutes of the complete version. What they did with the long version is what makes their version special. This just makes it sound like other versions.

One of the greatest original voices: John Fogarty.

CCR created their own genre - Swamp Rock !

Marvin Gaye was probably the version you first heard. That's the first version I heard.

As a fan of ALL kinds of music CCR sits pretty high up there 🖤soooo many great songs 🤤all just real shit

Should have done the extended version, so good

I love the CCR cover, but this song has been around a lot longer than that! Marvin Gaye's version is, for me, the iconic version - do give that one a listen.

The long version is scary good !!

Just saw John Fogerty in concert last weekend in VA!! AMAZING! Being in my 30’s, I never thought I’d ever be able to see him sing CCR live!! Dream come true. Nothing like John Fogerty!!

Give me some more cow bell please!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😜❤️❤️😎🍸

I asked my hubs...AKA Mr. Music...who first recorded this.. (because this was first time I ever heard it)...and he said Marvin, of course. Mr. Marvin Gaye.....but this rendition is just as good, IMO...(Hubs disagrees). I am CCR...he saw Hendrix, etc. live and is a walking music encyclopedia of the 60's........Also the Bible Answer Man...what a Jewel I married! (We got saved at 30 and 35..so our music has very much taken a back seat...but still cool that I can go to him for both!) God is GOOD!

Love you so much AB! Keep talking to us lightly! Can I offer you some orange juice?

BEING A 66 YEAR OLD FART I CAN TESTIFY THAT THE ORIGINAL RECORDING OF ANY PARTICULAR SONG IS BY NO MEANS AUTOMATICALLY THE BEST VERSION TO BE RECORDED. AS A MATTER OF FACT MANY TIMES THE BY FAR SUPERIOR RECORDED RENDITION OF MULTIPLE SONGS HAVE BEEN L3LB

They did several live performances on American Bandstand with Dick Clark, I think. I know the Guess Who did- that's another band you need to check out! Love 60s and 70s rock- sing and dance along when you hear it.

This is actually the short version of the song. The album version is over 8 minutes long.
