John Fogerty’s voice is a force of nature

I was blasting this song one day, when my stepmom walked in. I turned it off, and she said, “You can play it. I like Clarence Creedwater!” 😂

You just opened up something incredible...CCR has been a huge part of our history. Fortunate Son, Have you Ever Seen the Rain, Green River, Bad Moon Rising, I Heard it Through the Grapevine ... And, so much more. Enjoy!

My mother was actually born on the Bayou. Dirt floor shack in the Louisiana swamp, spoke French first seven years of life. Dad found himself a cajun queen! Exceptionally beautiful. As a child my friends would come over to see my mom!!!

Southern rock at its finest. Fogerty’s voice is a gift from God.

Their version of "I Put A Spell On You" is legit fire, not a cliché like most others.

Heard it thru Grapevine, Susie Q, Green River. Put a spell on you. Can't go wrong in these four additional classics.

You will never forget JOhn Fogerty's voice

Your next CCR reaction should be their cover of the Motown classic written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." It deserves to be mentionned in the same breath as Marvin Gaye's and Gladys Knight's versions. And that's quite a compliment.

This song is funkier that day old chittlins!!! Reminds me of being home in Louisiana, dirty South swamps, way back in the woods and chillin with ya family at the fish fry!!!! This has ALWAYS been my CCR favorite!!!!! Its so dirty!!! 😂😂

These guys don't have a bad song. CCR is one of the legends of Rock.

Maybe not their biggest hit but for me their best sing. What a vibe as it’s called now.

"Suzy-Q." Like this, it's got soul to it. One of their best ever. Long version only please. the short version for Radio play starts to end, right when the song really gets going. Long version is the only version worth playing. I think it's around 11 minutes long. Another great funky song from "CCR" is a cover of the classic from "Screamin' Jay Hawkins," "I Put a Spell on You." Oh Boy! Those three are easily in their top 5 music catalogue. So many hits. Thanks guys.

CCR has literally dozens of hit songs. Along with being a great singer and guitar player, John Fogerty was a prolific songwriter, a veritable hit makin' machine I tell ya.

Lookin' Out My Backdoor, Have You Ever Seen the Rain & Bad Moon Rising!

John Fogerty was a powerhouse in the late sixties, hit after hit, with him writing, singing, and playing lead guitar. It was an odd mix of blues, rock and country, all in one. And well done I might add.

Fortunate Son is probably where you hear his voice. It was played in several war movies.

CCR has a SUPER deep catalog. You can't go wrong with anything here. "Wrote a Song For Everyone" and "Long As I Can See The Light" are both criminally underrated songs.

For about 2 years. CCR was on the radio. All the time. Heck, CCR was the radio.

They have a whole catalog of number ones and dur the sixties the vietnam vets and soldiers were jamming to this .

The album version of I Put A Spell On You is fire. John Fogerty was one of the best voices and guitar players of all time. So many classics.

Come on, could you make my morning any better? One of the greatest CCR jam songs, second only to I Heard It Through the Grapevine - but this one has that awesome, muddy, low-down swamp feel, with that absolutely filthy groove right from the start. Not bad for a bunch of California boys. Another killer choice - much love from Canada!

Suzy Q, and Bad Moon Rising are two of my favorites... talk about soul...

They had so many great songs it's insane. Up Around The Bend, Run Through The Jungle, Willy & the Poor Boys, Hey Tonight, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Fortunate Son, Who'll Stop the Rain, Sweet Hitchiker, Travelin Band, Ramble Tamble, Effigy, Sinister Purpose, A Walk on the Water, It's Just a Thought, Lodi......The only sad things are how they were ripped off for millions by their manager and John Fogerty's awful treatment of his band mates which included his bro Tom. Have fun and get them scuba suits and tanks ready for a deep deep dive, maybe even break out the mini submarine.

Creedence is full of soul. Excellent reaction!!!

"Long as I can see the light " to me is their take ya to church moment! So right about how distinctive his voice is. Them boys sound swampy

You will thoroughly enjoy their cover of I Heard it Through the Grapevine. It’s a Masterpiece!

CCR lead singer is John Fogerty, the Bassist is Stu Cook. Just a suggestion Of five more Great songs, Fortune Son, Proud Mary, I put a Spell on you, Bad moon rising and Rollin on a River. I Agree John Fogerty's voice oozes So much soul, it's incredible!! Thanks guys 💞

I remember as a kid in The 90s listening to Incredible music like this Growing up swimming and running around EVERYWHERE.. Now The World is So INCLOSED, that kid's of this Generation, Don't Get To Experience phenomenal Golden Age music so FREELY, like we did, as kid's.. BUT TIMES SURLY HAVE CHANGED...!

They did a great rendition of I put a spell on you. They put their own spin on it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥

John Fogerty is the singer, lead guitar, and songwriter. His brother, Tom Fogerty played rhythm guitar, Stu Cook played that bass, and Doug Clifford was the drummer.

Their other big hit is 'Proud Mary', which was also recorded in an equally great version around the same time by Ike & Tina Turner.

One of the many things I love about CCR -- and especially this song -- is the bass line. I mean ... really LOVE IT.

CCR is part of my High School days ❤

If you've seen any movie about the Vietnam War, you've heard Creedence Clearwater Revival. "Fortunate Son," a song actually about the Vietnam War, is in either "Platoon" or "Full Metal Jacket" (or both). The CCR version of "Suzie Q" is in "Apocalypse Now," etc. Their "Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits" album has 20 songs, and it seems like most people are familiar with virtually every track.

You REALLY want to hear their cover of I put a spell on you. Live.

My favorite Creedence song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥simply awesome and funky 😁

Dirty, gritty swamp rock. This brings back so many memories. One of my mom's favorites. Mom had great taste in music. Vicki

Due to their insight, and love of music - they're subscription should be 10x the amount they have - here is to their future success.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine, I Put A Spell On You, and Suzie Q are all great songs you'd enjoy.

John Fogerty just got the rights to his music back. It is an incredible saga. Fogerty wrote and was the defining vocal stylist but the tight improvisational style of the band was a MAJOR factor to the success of the Creedence recordings. There is a lot coming out in the media about it currently. Blue-eye soul, no surprise Ike & Tina Turner had a hit with "Proud Mary". The band's cover of Marvin Gaye/Berry Gordy "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" is on parr with the original in the universal classic rock songbook

Creedence is no joke! They are the truth. Period…

*I know they sound like they are from the Deep south in Bayou country, but not even close. Try Northern California. These guys do it all. A little country flavor, full-on Soul, you name it. This late 60s "Classic Rock" Band is one of the Best ever. So many hit songs and albums it's crazy. Everyone loves this Band.

"Have you ever seen the rain," is my favorite of CCR, but i still love everything they've got! ❤

CCR was one of the best bands back then. To this day they are still my favorite band along with the Allman brothers ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

They were together such a short time but everything they sang was special - 'Have you ever seen the rain', Midnight Special - and for sure if you have ever seen a movie on Vietnam you would have heard either 'Fortunate Son' or 'Run throught the Jungle' - I think they called it 'Swamp Rock' and southern blues rock.

They have a deep, deep repertoire. Their style is sometimes called Swamp Rock, but yeah, has lots of blues in there.

Such a killer bass guitar groove ...

All of their songs are great.

This has been my favorite band when I heard Suzy Q way back in 68

One of the best bands ever!

One of the Greatest radio play Classic Rock bands ever !!! 👍 A Ton of Monster Hits in the early days of Rock late 60s early 70s Great songwriters !! A must is checking out there Live show at Woodstock in 1969' is on Y-tube ✌🎶🎼

One of my favorite songs to dance to!

I used to hang out with John Fogerty's daughter back when we were in high school. She went to Presentation high school in Berkeley back in 84 and I went to Salesians. I use to go to her house and party back in the day, the good old times. Also I am a black man so it's funny your just discovering Creedence Clearwater.

CCR is a deep and wide rabbit hole. Swamp Rock. John Fogarty has one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in rock. These guys are from Cali but you’d never know it to listen to them. Maybe you’ve heard Lookin Out My Back Door on Tv?

Stu Cook on bass, Tom Fogerty on rhythm guitar, Doug "Cosmo" Clifford on drums, and John Fogerty on lead guitar and vocals. A San Francisco Bay Area band, none of them had ever seen a bayou when they did this song.

Heard it through the grape vine, fortunite son, run through the jungle ....and on and on in every old veitnam movie youve seen

Vintage ❤excellent 👌 👏 👍 😎

One of the best voices and songwriters in rock ever is John Fogerty. So check out Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary, Fortunate Son, Long as I can See the LIght, Who'll Stop the Rain, Lodi, Have you Ever Seen the Rain, Travelin' Band--and dozens more, dozens.

One of my faves from CCR

Just another of the many sounds that came out the Bay Area in the 60s and 70s (your dad can probably name dozens more). I occasionally would run into one or two Fogertys jamming at one of my East Bay hangouts. When I moved to Tahoe, there was drummer Doug Clifford living down the road, putting together Credence Revisited with bassist Stu Cook, but the sound was not the same without that distinguishing Fogerty voice. I’m sure the other commenters can document the lawsuits and arguments that tore the original band apart.

Ohhhhh they are so great enjoy

Fortunate Son, is their greatest, and they're pretty much all great....a lesser known banger is, Sweet Hitchhiker! The Bayou County album was recorded in October of 1968, when John was only 23 years old!

My Fav because…I was born on the Bayou!

This brings back memories of my boarding school in the uk. Kids played it blasting out from their common rooms.

Run through the jungle . Love and respect .

Another great Dad pick!!! Love your Dad’s taste in music; another one my parents played that got passed down to me.

Heard it through the Grapevine cover of Motown classic

always loved this one...seems fitting they got everything right about this one ...

To Airplay Beats, in Compliment, towards doing an excellent stream of Music Reactions... And This my favorite song by Creedence Clearwater Revival!

🙌 legends

Great song...love the bass!

Greatest hits is a good place to start.

Another great reaction... thank you for playing the real version and not the cut-down "radio" version. CCR was in that era of "3-minute" radio songs. They have SO many hits, it's quite unbelievable.

Another big one 😂😂😂 yeah , one or a couple more handfuls. CCR is in that elite category and always great to get your grove onto ! ✌🏼❤️

Suzy Q was their first big hit. My fave is Green River, but Heard It Through The Grapevine is smokin!

Great dig again guys!! Tina Turner covered on of John's too, cause the people on the river are happy to Give.

My mom spun Creedence records non-stop back in the '60's. They had so many hits back then I wouldn't know where to start. Many are now legitimately part of the American tapestry. They were also from L.A., not LA.

The sound is called "Swamp Music," CCR. Also "Good Golly Miss Molly " by them is a great song!!!! John Forgerty is the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist.

I remember going with my dad to his Vietnam reunion in the 90s and they had a CCR cover band. I got to ride in a Huey there too.

They've got A LOT of "good ones." 😎🤘

Pot o' gumbo! Perfect!! Stu Cook was on bass. John Fogerty's voice is woven into the very fabric that IS America. CCR had an original-yet familiar- Americana type sound. Check out the documentary, "Travelin Band", narrated by Jeff Bridges. CCR's entire concert at The Royal Albert Hall during their 1st European tour in 1970 is shown for the 1st time ever. It's so good!

John Fogerty wrote Proud Mary! CCR has albums full of songs you've probably heard over the years! Fortunate Son is another amazing one, Among so many

There’s so many good songs by CCR, sung by John Fogerty. Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, Green River, the list goes on and on, and joy your trip down CCR Lane!

One other thing, they were actually from California but John brought a nice swamp vibe to their sound. If you dig that kind of thing check the real Louisiana Swamp Fox, Mr Tony Joe White who wrote Polk Salad Annie, Rainy Night in Georgia, the beautiful Willie and Laura Mae Jones, Woman with Soul, Aspen Colorado, Roosevelt and Ira Lee, Funky Fingers......

When I was 15 I heard this in a record store and bought the album ($2.99) Just based on hearing this great song. Great stuff still! Keep it up I love your reactions. A suggestion: Kenny Wayne Shepherd- “Aberdeen”

So glad you're going down the creedence rabbit hole. So many great songs. Long as I can see the light was written by John Fogerty, slower song. It's got a great feel to it. Again great reaction guys. PS, I heard John fogerty recently got the rights to his music back!

Love your analysis and the fact that you love music!

Love that you guys focus on the bass.

Saw Fogerty live....terrific

A lot of people assume there are southern band because of their music but actually they're from Berkeley California next door to Oakland

Many people would never guess they're from California. Check out "I Put a Spell on You". CCR kicks ass!

Long As I Can See The Light!!

Swamp rock! Love it!

Yes great song ccr

The full length heard it through the grapevine is muah.

Aww YES!! CCR has a sound that is totally unique and captivating...

Another excellent reaction, you guys have great ears for music!
