The groove is so satisfying that even the extended version doesn't feel long enough. I've listened to this version and Marvin Gaye's 100's of times, and while Marvin's voice is insanely good, the CCR version is my favorite.

John Fogerty: lead vocals and lead guitar, his brother Tom Fogerty: rhythm guitar, Stu Cook (with the glasses): bass and Doug Clifford on drums. But basicly, CCR is John Fogerty, he wrote all the songs and his voice is what makes this band stand out.

That's fucking swamp music right there 🔥

Gladys Knight & the Pips were the first to hit the charts with I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Marvin Gaye had the biggest selling monster version of the song. Although CCR did not hit the top 40 with their version, their album version of the song is by far the longest version of the song.😮😊What you heard here is the shorter single edit for radio play.

Yes Motown song covered many times, but CCR nails it

CCR doesn't have any bad songs in their entire catalog. Every song they recorded was simply incredible

My friends dad lived next door to these guys and regularly got to sit and watch them practice and drink beers with them..

John Fogerty--singer, songwriter, guitarist--wrote almost every one of their original songs. Top ten male vocalist in rock. Unmistakable voice and can sing anything. In his 70s and still going.

BORN ON THE BAYOU CCR

Don't worry about missing this--how could you know?--you aren't 66 like me (Creedence was one of my favorites). But understand that this music is YOUR music, too. Anything that came before is yours--sure it appeared when I was a kid and that created incredible memories and all that, but the music is there for the taking, pal. Join the tribe. Dive in. The water's great.

You can't beat those old school guitar riffs! You don't get that anymore

John Fogerty's voice is Magical !!! You cant go wrong with any of their Big hits (even small) The whole band Is Amazing !!! Love them ❤️❤️

Green River is one of my favorites out of a ton of great CCR tracks. Hard to believe they were only together as a band for a little while.

What blew me away when I learned this bit of trivia is that all of their songs are three chords. It's some of the catchiest music from my childhood but, also the most simple.

It's amazing listening to youngsters surprise that they have never heard music like this. It will never be played like this again. So Poppa, I'm also 74 and we've seen the best and lived and loved it. And still love it...

John Fogerty's voice on 'Long as I Can See the Light' is incredible.

This is one of those bands I discovered through my father. The older I get, the more it's so obvious how much they influenced bands too come.

Love me some CCR.I was just a teenager when they came on the scene. Now I'm still rocking with them in my old age. Lol! You know why the bands of my generation are around 40 and 50 years later? Because they made the best music ever played.I wonder how many bands from today will be around in 40 or 50 years? My guess is a few. Love your show.

As you said, this music was a sign of the times. We were protesting the war in Vietnam, had to be a little sneaky to smoke the ganja, anything that was 180 degrees away from our parents. The recording studios were all using tape, no electronic tricks or auto tune. The lyrics reflected the times and it all relied on the pure talent of the musicians.

If you like the Southern sound of this song you should hear Molly Hatchet they were a Heavy Southern Rock band. Beatin the odds.

Such a fun band, been listening to them for sooo long.

Happy to see you discovering bands like CCR along with the heavy stuff. It’s all about variety in life.

More CCR please!!!! Go down that rabbit hole 🕳️ and you won’t be disappointed!!!! I appreciate young ppl discovering music from my youth growing up in the late 60’s and 70’s!!!! It was a simpler time sort of!!!! So says Austin Tx!!! 😎🍸

"Graveyard Train" on the Bayou Country album will leave you chilled. If you like a raspy, tortured voice, howlin' in the night for a lost love, then this is your song.

Wow.... I've heard this song before, but not from CCR, what a great song. 👏 The reason all the older songs and bands are great is because they actually had to be able to sing and play. No autotune back then.

Southern Rock was a huge influence on us..blastng from households and car windows...the drums in this one was heavily influenced by Native American sounds..we all gathered around the campfires stomping the ground underfoot..lol..if not literally at least in our hearts... Cheers Molly Boy... 🌿🌿🌿

Very nice post, Pamela. I would respectfully disagree that Creedence was anything close to southern rock, though John Fogerty was enamored of the Lousiana swamp creole things, for sure. These guys were were from El Cerrito, California. The burbs.

I believe Gladys Knight and The Pips were the first to record this although it might not have been the first version released. 1967, I was 13 and we had just come back from Germany (dad was army), stopped in Detroit to visit family and Motown was just coming into it's own. Good music!😎😎😎😎

That might have been a radio edit for time but it goes on and is spectacular. Please try to find the whole song. It's criminal to fade there. Keep it up! You're doing great.

That fade out sucked. It was just kicking in.

I was born in DC in 1971 to 2 twenty year olds & one of my earliest musical memories is being in a car & hearing this in the radio 🖤

One of the few bands where I truly like every song on every album. It's pretty amazing really, and they weren't even around for all that long.

John Fogerty: Lead vocals, lead guitar, and primary songwriter Tom Fogerty: Rhythm guitarist (blonde hair)and John's brother Stu Cook:(glasses) Bassist Doug Clifford: Drummer. The original members

Suzie Q, Down on The Corner, Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary… just a few of their greats My dad credited introducing me to these guys as the reason for my lifelong love of a raspy voice and a “dirty” sound

I grew up listening to CCR, my parents blasted it almost daily. Love them❤️❤️❤️❤️

These are the real talents of the 60-70-80s era. I grew up with this music and it was awesome then and now hearing it again it’s actually Epic!

Got to remember that the 80,90’s bands grew up listening to this and other bands of the time. Variety is the spice of life especially in music. Cheers.

You missed out. The true version of this song is 11 minutes long, and the extended jam at the end is absolutely fantastic. John Fogerty's voice is truly special. He was and is a powerhouse -- songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, arranger. CCR has the highest slugging percentage of any band, by far. They weren't around for very long, but almost very song they did was top notch. Check out their live version of "Keep on Chooglin'" from their Oakland concert in 1970.

Once you hear John's voice you'll never forget it.

John Fogerty likes to go fishing, too.

Originally wtitten for and recorded by Gladys Knight and the Pips, released in 1967. CCR's version released in 1970, absolutely my favorie version.

Hey from your Cali Grandma! I was so lucky to see CCR 2 times in the late 60s and once in 1971, just before they broke, because John Fogerty got in a dispute with his record label who wouldn’t allow him to buy back the copyrights to his own original music. He did not play that music again until the copyright ownership expired after 20 years. He now plays with his two sons in his concerts! I’ve got the best seat for his live concert at Thunder Valley Casino Venue in Northern California for this August!!! It’s a dream come true for me! My nickname in college was Susie Q, their first hit, which ironically not written by John Fogerty. The record label had picked it. Funny enough, neither John or his family are from the South. He was born and raised in Central California.

CCR never disappoints. Check out "Bad Moon Rising" when you get the chance. Also, can I make a small recommendation? If you like it when the singer's voice breaks, you should really check out the most famous voice brake in rock 'n' roll history: "The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter."

John Fogerty went solo later on. They have a huge mainstream playlist but one of the less played songs I like from CCR is Lodi. The way he sings the word Lodi is very unique and cool.

Crank this song up and it takes on a whole new vibe. Awesome. Lodi is a must listen. Likely my favorite CCR tune but all are fantastic.

I saw these guys playing in friend’s of my parents garden when I was a child living in California. I ended up working in the music business for decades because of them and the door that they opened.

John Fogerty is the lead singer. Midnight Special a bluey banger. Suzie Q. guitar solo is FIRE. 🎸Run through the Jungle. Proud Mary. Love CCR. A great rabbit hole to dive into.

The first album I bought is, Cosmo's Factory. With this song, verses are the same as original, but a different spin on the song. Many musicians did this and made the song more unique to suite their style. And this band came from Northern California; authentic natural talent, singing and excellent musicianship. Iconic band.

Anything and everything sung by John Fogerty is my favorite thing

one of my favorite of all time

CCR has some great music!! Proud Mary, Looking Out My Back Door, Bad Moon Rising, and Down On The Corner just to name a few!!

It’s nice to hear these songs again, on a real stereo. I was just a kid with an AM radio when this stuff came out. It’s really good to see someone hear them for the first time and be as blown away as I was.

One of the first songs I remember as a kid. My dad had this on reel to reel. Definitely bayou music

I grew up to CCR, loved them then, love them still. Does my old heart good to see young people enjoy the music I love so much!

"The Midnight Special" is one of their best songs. Although it's a cover song, they performed it to perfection, and their live performance sounds just as good as their studio hit. Shout out to Sam Collins and Gennett Records for recording the original song in 1927: "The Midnight Special Blues".

Yes and he is still touring !!!!! Love it 🤘✌❤🎶🎵🇨🇦

That bassline right at the start gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to this. Then when it comes in after the first chorus with the drums *chefs kiss* That's why i like listening to the extended version, you get to hear it a lot more.

CCR is one of my all-time favorite Rock band. THIS MY JAM!!!0Freakin' SWAMP MUSIC!!!

CCR was one of my husband's favorite. The driving force of this band it the lead singer, lead guitar, and song writer John Fogerty. This is the same song, same lyrics as Marvin Gaye (1968), the first recording was by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles (1966), it was also covered by Gladys Knight and The Pips (1967). There is so much great music off all sorts to discover, I hope you keep expanding your experience. It's good you quit smoking, your lungs and all the rest of you will be thankful for that.

CCR is one of my absolute favorite bands. But so are the Talking Heads, and they also do an iconic cover of this. It reached a whole lot of people that weren't necessarily into the T-Heads.

My favorite bands STP, AIC, NIN ETC should bow down to the greatness that is CCR!

CCR what a group he has a great voice, i was 13 years old when I herd them for the First time.

CCR are so good. Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising and Have You Ever Seen the Rain are bangers.

In 1970 the Beatles had called it a day leaving an opening for the top band in the world. Chicago and Grand Funk Railroad thought they were the one but didn't think about Creedence Clearwater Revival who became the #1 band in the world. It was short-lived breaking up by 1972. But from 1968 they were a force. First band signed to appear at Woodstock in 1969.

I miss those days of great music everywhere.

Definitely listen to “Hey Tonight.”

Green River and Run Through the Jungle next!! I fell in love with them when I was in 5th grade.

"MIDNIGHT SPECIAL" was always one of my favs!

Brooo this band is out of any rock standard, they are really unique and Jhon forgety besides singing like the gods does incredible solos.

Why the chills happen you truly love music. I put a lot of band on the comments on the animals review..I literally know thousands of rock tunes that would blow your mind I'm 62 and I'm still in a band today. Just a bass player

Another great southern band is Lynyrd Skynyrd. Check out their “Curtis Loewe”

Green River!

Don't worry about the darn video. Just seeing all these bands live ,in little clubs in Hollywood makes me so happy. That is why if have a gigantic set of vinyl

wow, i didn't expect that to end that soon. the original recording usually went on for a much longer time!!!

you'll like" I put a spell on you". I love the guitar in that song. great band. don't have any bad songs. seriously

Great band, lead has a very wonderful distinctive voice especially when paired with the bass singers. Thank you for sharing and your intelligent review and insight ❤

“I Put A Spell On You” is an awesome cover by CCR! 💙👵🏼✌🏼

If you love this song, you’ll absolutely love how this song was used in 1980s television commercials to promote California raisins. Animated, stop-motion raisins were choreographed, dancing to, “I heard it through the grapevine.” Needless to say, it worked! People loved the commercials and actually started buying raisins. You have to love a successful marketing campaign!

I am a Self proclaimed Metal head and I love CCR. My uncle Introduced me to them when I was 6 or 7 years old. I finally seen John Fogety live front row. He was literally 5 feet in front of me. All I can say is awesome concert and we'll worth the wait.
