Ha, Ha, Ha,

I know everyone has pointed this out, but just to add to it. CCR's "Proud Mary is the ORIGINAL VERSION. Tina Turner's was the COVER version. A quick aside, after CCR disbanded, Fogerty got screwed over by the record company and he was denied any royalties from any CCR songs. Because of this, he refused to perform any CCR songs at his solo concerts. Years later, at an awards ceremony, Bob Dylan told John "You better start playing your old songs again or people will start thinking that 'Proud Mary' was a Tina Turner song.".

I grew up in Cali about 50 miles from El Cerrito (and about 350 miles from Lodi, btw) and always assumed CCR were from Louisiana. Fogerty's vowel choices and weird-ass dipthongs with soft Rs ("woikin' fo the man" and "big wheel keep on toinin'," e.g.) and the way he softens or runs together some of his consonants gives him what my young ear always thought was a bit of a New Orleans "Yat" accent. Or maybe a little Cajun.

I would like to see you react to CCR - "Traveling Band".It is probably their hardest rocker and I would enjoy seeing you reacting to a sound from them that you have not heard before.It will also give you a better idea of the range of their talent.

I have five older sisters that all got married 1968 through 1969. Each time I heard the band play this song. Also, politicians used to hold a dance as part of their campaign back then and each time-Proud Mary.

There's a video for the song "Looking Out My Back Door," it's not live but it's pretty good. There's also a live video for the song "You Put a Spell On Me"

And I also love CCR's southern swamp-rock sound. I think it's wonderful that artists can take the same song and put an entirely different feel to the same story.

This is THE ORIGINAL. Great reaction, ya'll.

I love CCR's sound and like this version, the original "Proud Mary", a lot. But, my favorite version is a live performance by Tina and Ike from the mid-70s. It was so high energy and Tina just nailed it. The video is here on YT somewhere. It was one of the best live performances of any song I've seen.

CCR, "Proud Mary" (Rolling on a River) was done in 1969, Tina and Ike redid the song in 1971...

No Tina's was a cover. This was actually written by Jon Fogarty. Really recommend Put a Spell on You, at Woodstock

Proud Mary is a Riverboat. You know, those boats with the big paddle wheels, like Mississippi Queen? (Another great song).

My ate mother loved this song. Anytime we were out in my car and this song came on she told me turn up the volume. This November will be 8 yrs.since she's passed away. If the song plays when I'm driving I turn it up and tear up.

I'm tellin' ya, "Up Around the Bend" by CCR. For more swamp music, listen to "Poke Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White.

I love how when he says burnin he's really saying boinin.

When you think about it, CCR skyrocketed with their second album in 1969, which included Proud Mary, and by 1972 it was over. Four years at the top and fifty years later we are still listening to them. Fogerty put out his first solo album in 1975, but it wasn't until Centerfield another decade later before he found his feet and he finally began to play old CCR songs again. His brother Tom died in 1990, but both Stu Cook and Doug Clifford are still around, but there was a lot of bad blood back then, most of which still exists to this day.

As great as Tina Turner’s version is, hers is a cover, this is the original.

"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.

this is the original and the originals are always the best CCR brilliant

Tina Turner's version was a cover of this. John Fogerty wrote Proud Mary. The CCR version is the original.

Tina Turner's version is the cover, John Fogerty wrote it on the day he received his discharge papers from the army in 1967

Proud Mary -- the first song Fogerty wrote!! He had the title for it for a while, then wrote the song itself later! Have loved it since it came out AND loved the Tina Turner spin on it!! Thanx 2 you 4 the reactions!! You make my day when U give some love 2 the classics!!

Thank you guys for reacting to this CCR song. I was a teen when this came out and I always loved the laid back feel of it. When Tina did her cover and I am a Tina fan, but to me her version took that laid back feeling right out of it so for me, I prefer the original sound of that CCR sings it with. My Dad wasn't a dancer by any stretch of the imagination but I tell you, if we were at a dance and this song came on, he'd grab me and out on the floor we'd go.... so this was our song. Again, thanks for experiencing CCR's version. Take care and be well. Peace.

you know you are good when ike and tina are covering your song

Fogerty wrote it. CCR released in 1968. Tina Turner released her version in 1970.

Song is literally about a paddlewheel boat on the Mississippi river, called the Proud Mary. "Big wheel keeps on turnin', Proud Mary keeps on burnin'."

This song was really big in 71. I was in South Korea and all the local bands picked it up. They were all "lolin on the liber".

Fell In love with this as a kid junior high school will never forget It !

This is the way the song was meant to be done. John Fogerty wrote it and it has a "Southern" sound to it along with the Southern type lyrics. Proud Mary is a river boat rolling along the river in good old Dixie. Great lead vocal as always and a great musical vibe.

Proud Mary is a steamboat crossing the Mississippi river with that "big wheel keep on turning " and also the river boat Queen. Correct me if mistaken ✌☯️

Oh great selection and so many great songs to look forward to.

I love CCR, thanks for the reaction!

When CCR first came on the scene, they were considered bluegrass or folk, but I always thought of it as swamp rock. LOVE these guys.

This song was everywhere at the time. It was played at every wedding reception I went too (which was a LOT) Still love it. Love CCR!

As a Memphian,that has ridden on a river boat queen,I lived this song

I love CCR's version and Tina's equally for different reasons but I have to give respect to the original - CCR owns this song, literally. John is a fantastic writer, major props to him for writing such a great, catchy tune!

Lol that is how we discovered music back in the day it was all about the sound I still rmember sitting in a bean bag in 78 records listening to random albums of songs and artists I’d heard about and the absolute joy of finding that one tat resonated with my soul! 💕

John knew this was gonna be a hit when he wrote it.

You haven't done "Green River" yet. It could turn out to be your favorite!

Gotta love John's inflection on 'touuurning' and 'bouuurning'

LOL 😂. Once Again They did Ramble Tamble live.

This is a John Fogerty song for Credence Clearwater Revival and CCR's Proud Mary was Number One on the Billboard Charts in 1969. Tina Turner's awesome stage show cover version of Proud Mary was released in 1971 and got up to Number 4 on the Billboard Charts and took the legend of the song to astronomical heights. It's different how Whitney Houston turned Dolly Parton's country hit that only country radio people ever knew about and turned it into a worldwide legendary hit. Because Tina Turner covered a song that was already universally popular for two years all over the world before spinning her own awesome take on it.

Great classic song!! Nice to drive through the country hearing it. regards from Chile!! :-)

Great interview Stern did with John Foggerty. First, he detailed the deal they were swindled into whihc lead to the break-up of CCR (now it makes sense why Dan Foggerty quit, sayig he could make more money pretty much doing anything else than selling hit records!). Second point was interesting from a "conception" point. When John was a teenager, he got into the habit of carrying a notebooke and writing down any thoughts he had. The very first entry in the very first notebook was the phrase "Proud Mary"; he kept it because he liked it and figured taht he could make something out of it, someday!

Proud Mary written and recorded by John Fogerty was loved by all when it was released in 1968. rock & roll was just evolving into what it is today

I remember going on school camp when I was eleven years old, I think, hearing all the time there Hey Tonight by CCR and the song Invitation by the Dutch band Earth & Fire.

I saw them live in 68 if memory serves. The only concert I ever went to that sounded as good or better than the studio version.
