I was a teen when CCR was performing. I always thought they were the best band ever, but they were so under-rated. Now they get more respect than then and it is about time! I think Marvin Gaye sang it after CCR did it ? Thanks for playing this.

Probably the only time where a cover of a song is so great as the original!!! Great job Marvin and CCR!!!!

I love love love Creedence Clearwater Revival! John Fogarty has so much soul in his voice, it grabs my heart every time. Great choice guys. Love your reactions 🌺✌️

This song was originally done by Gladys Night and the Pips. Has a faster tempo and some more call and response to it. Excellent version. Then Marvin Gaye's version so soulful and probably the most well known version. And then CCR. Your reaction was spot on. The band made it their own. This video you reacted to is a cut version of what was on the album. The full cut goes into this John Fogerty guitar jam that takes you to a whole new place and then comes back to the song. Do yourself a favor and listen to that version. All versions are great though.

What a blessing to have grown up so rich in music from this era. Let's not forget Motown too.

Love CCR. Looking out my back door is my favorite. Although i believe they will continue to gain fans in every generation. Rock On✌💖🙏

Man...there were really some talented musicians/artists in the 70s....Pure Gold!

CCR is absolutely awesome!! And I love that bass!

Thanks for ths! John Fogerty (singer, lead guitar) is a one of a kind talent who makes everything look so effortless. He's a very humble, likable guy as well!

Great band. N JOHN VOICE..LOVE IT..GOOD OLE DAYS

Riding along in my red & white 1963 Ford Fairlane listening to my 8 track CCR right before I left to join the USN during Vietnam. Not many girls joining the service back then. Sure brings back memories we had great music!

Love( I, we) their Cajun drawl. He "HOYD" it through the grapevine!!! Loved them and their music. When I was young this is all we listened to and requested from the bands at our favorite bar.

Creedence absolutely nailed this song!

Lucky enough to see John fogerty about 4 years ago in Dublin, Ireland. I cried when he came on stage, just to be in the presence of a legend. An outstanding gig.

The lead singer's name is John Fogerty. You should react to "Proud Mary" it is a song written by John Fogerty and first recorded by his band Creedence Clearwater Revival.

There sound wraps me up in a nice warming blanket. Been listening since I was about 8 yes. old.perfect go to music.

When you get the chance check out the full recording. There is another 5 minutes of John Fogerty on lead guitar. That is what makes this so special along with his soulful vocal style.

And that was the short version! POW!

Gladys Knight & the Pips also did a fantastic version of this song! Thank you! 🤍

John Fogerty is now 76 yrs old and still out there performing all the CCR hits. Saw him just a couple months ago here in NC and he delivered s great concert.

Having music, of all styles, in my entire 60 plus years life, it's fun to watch people discover something you've loved all your life. Heard it through the Grapevine was the first song I learned on bass in 1973.

I loved it! Wow, it was fun watching them sing it live. I grew up with both versions and like them equally. They each take their own spin on it. Marvin Gaye is one of my favorites. He was so special. John Fogarty was also a very talented man. Great pic you two. :)

I love this amazing rock band !!!

Creedance was the first album I bought in about 1971. This is their song.

I'd love for you to review The Band/Up On Cripple Creek. Good work - always a pleasure!

They got soul n rock n roll,love his voice

There was so much cool music in the 60's and 70's. I'm so sorry you missed that era. It was a blast!

This is the short version cut down for radio. They used to play the long version in clubs and people danced their arse off. Once went to a club/bar where that had the long version on repeat for several hours and the place went crazy when the played something else LOL

I can't even watch as the album version is longer than this entire video and worth every second.

A bonafide classic!! Nice too to see John's brother Tom when he was still in the band.

I get chills every time I hear that opening bass line, and thru the entire song. They appear to be enjoying making the music as much as I love hearing it (and have since it first released)

Both versions came out in 1970. Fogarty voice was pure Grit and soul. It was coupled with great harmony and instruments equals perfection! Great reaction!

Another great cover by CCR is Suzie Q a song from the 1950s, covered by numerous groups including the Rolling Stones, but in my opinion CCR does the best version! If if you do react to Suzie Q I recommend the 8 minute version found only on the album (great guitar solo), the 45 has a much shorter version with out the guitar solo.

Awww I adore you two ❤ Your so lovely. I've never heard this version of heard it though the Grapevine before, and I am so impressed 👏 😎 👌 😄 😀 🙌

Gladys Knight also did a great version in the late 60s. You should hear her version.

I was just listening to this album “Cosmo Factory” the other day. I played this song several times, love the lead solos. I’m surprised that this live version was cut short.🤬

You seriously need to listen to the extended version. This version cuts off half of the good parts. The extended jam in the middle is fantastic. Almost criminal to cut it off like that. Unfortunately I think this was the radio edited version.

Ccr is my fave band, I was born and raised in California and that's all we listen to over here in the sticks. They have so many to listen to!! "Looking out my backdoor", "Cotton Fields", "Fortunate Son", "Midnight Special", "Born on the Bayou", "Have you ever seen the rain".... OMG so many!!! Love em all. Dozens of hits!!

CCR my all time favorite band. So glad you guys really enjoyed the music....and your Orioles are having a great year.

I was a huge fan of CCR when all this music first came out, and giving it a relisten on various reaction channels I have come to a whole new appreciation of their musicianship. I guess my young ears could appreciate the music, but were not yet sophisticated enough to appreciate each musician's contribution to the sound. Stu Cook was killing it on bass, and coupled with Doug Clifford's drumming, they made for a very solid rhythm section. John Fogerty was one of the most memorable and easily recognized rock and roll front men at the time, and one of the most talented. He's also still out there doing it, and still sounds great. CCR was my first favorite band, and my first album was "Cosmo's Factory", which I still own, and from which this single was released. Thanks for the memories, y'all.

Best Song from Creedence Clearwater Revival is Pagan Baby from the Album Pendulum.

I still have and listen to my original CCR vinal ! Enjoyed your reaction!! A much younger me danced to this group Soooo many times!

on the long version of this song, fogerty plays the hell out of that guitar on the lead part. i didnt know you could bend those strings to that degree, amazing.

I've loved that song since I first heard it, and this was the first version I knew. Marvin Gaye's song is fantastic in either case. I really like the heavy bass line in CCR's rendition.

You need to catch the full version of this, you'll love it.

This is one of the few songs that I love three versions of the same song. I love Gladys Knight and the Pips version, Marvin Gaye's great version, and also love CCR'S version with the great bass line. Wow. What a song. 🔥😉👍

You guys are fun. Love your reactions, you put a smile on my face as I listen to some old favorites with you!! Thx.

John Fogarty is the lead singer - he is a living legend !

They really got into this one and the recording is as good as it gets . Way back the way I heard this in 1970 was on the radio during summer vacation off of school, high school, before I bought my first stereo turntable, and nice receiver I saved up for. Was blown away by this song they rarely played on radio stations as it was a long song. As soon as they started played it, I was jamming on it

John Fogerty - Lead singer, songwriter, lead guitar. He WAS CCR. A true genius. He still sings and tours today. CCR was my fav rock group. Distinctive sound.

That was the shortest of the short versions that CCR did. The 11 minute version will soothe your soul.

Love em. Awesome band. Proud Mary aswell
