I apparently have heard Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty's voice in movies and film a lot over the years, but I have no idea who they are or what their sound is. Today, we're solving that problem thanks to the TCV Patrons who chose this to the top of their list!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Creedence Clearwater Revival for the first time, performing "I heard it through the grapevine".

Fogerty has such a dynamic vocal quality. He can do dark and sinister with songs like "I Put a Spell On You" and "Run Through the Jungle." He can do light and kooky with songs like "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "It Came Out of the Sky". He gives his voice a bit of edge in songs like "Fortunate Son." And raucous in songs like "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" and "Travelin' Band". and he can also do sad and mournful with songs like "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" and "Someday Never Comes". Highly recommend all of those songs

Banned from our house whilst growing up in a contentious '60's, I never really caught on to the undercurrent of CCR until I was drafted and got out of SmallTown USA. I mean, if Ed Sullivan would cut CCR off in mid-song they must be bad people, right? CCR built an amazing catalog of music in the four or so years they were together. While some was light-hearted, some was also very anti-war. Fortunate Son stands out. It has been infered that Who'll Stop the Rain refers to the use of Agent Orange. Shrug. No matter what, CCR's entire catalog is a worthy listen

I Heard It Through The Grapevine was one song that I paid little attention to, having been exposed to the original by Gladys Knight in my hometown of Detroit and superficially dismissing this as a ‘cover’. But your analysis is a pure delight and had me saying ‘Yes!’ every time John hit one of the high notes.

Drummer here- Regarding your comment starting at 14:18, CCR drummer Doug Clifford is utilizing the floor tom drum to get that darker sound instead of the hi-hat or ride cymbals. Same thing goes for drummer Meg White from The White Stripes on "Seven Nation Army."

@AndyViant Күн бұрын

The comment about Seven Nation Army. Meg from The White Stripes. She's got a very stripped back drumming style due to being self taught. No massive fill-ins, or rolls. It's a very sparse, empty sound, and was actively encouraged by Jack to emphasize his lyrics and bass. The overall effect amplifies both of their notes about 50%. Sometimes less really IS more. In some ways it sounds like the difference between Beatles Drumming and Led Zeppelin Drumming. Both had a shuffle added to the beat but Bonham's was far more complex than Ringo's. Don't get me wrong, Ringo's was far more complex than most people are willing to admit (at least until they try and play it) but Bonzo was an absolute master.

Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong wrote and composed "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" for Motown Records in 1966. The Miracles recorded the song in the summer of 1966, but it was not released. Whitfield produced Gladys Knight & the Pips' version, which was released as a single in September 1967 and became an R&B number one hit in December of that year. The song reached number two on the Hot 100 and sold well in the United States and Canada. Then there's the Marvin Gay version..

There was a two block area of just grass and trees between two rows of frat houses at Syracuse University in the early 70's. Every Saturday, one frat house would drag two giant speakers onto their porch and play Creedence very loudly all day long. It was awesome; I'll never forget that. When I hear Creedence now it takes me back there to that park.

I had to pause it right after that early analysis of the pitches and half steps and major thirds versus minor thirds, and I've presented this to people so many ways before. But for some reason I really loved the fact that you kept it in that low register. You didn't use middle register chords to easily demonstrate the difference between a minor and a major third, you kept it with those slightly harder to discern intervals when it's down lower like that, which is exactly where the song is. It ties it all together, and it's a great explanation without having to go into too much technical detail. Just love it. Not to mention your glee at taking him in for the first time. He's such a character and such a fascinating singer. And while we're barely getting started, please don't overlook that the rest of the band was just perfect for this kind of situation. They were all really good and locked in in their own ways.

Thank you for using the term "falsetto" in this context. Speaking as a singer of blues, soul, rock, and metal, who's been performing since the mid 80s, I think people get really prissy about using the word "falsetto", almost as though it's not "butch" enough for them or something. Thank you for helping to keep it real.

And a lot of people confuse falsetto with chest voice or mixed voice. A lot of Rob Halford's high notes were in full voice, not falsetto. And that's even more true with Bruce Dickinson. Falsetto is Bee Gees style high range, or King Diamond.

@@dmitryowens I couldn't disagree more. In fact I would say that you are the one who's confused about what you're hearing, and that those high notes you're talking about are definitely falsetto. The only real difference between metal falsetto, and Bee Gees falsetto, is that metal falsetto uses vocal fry.

My freshman year in college, my roommate, I, and 2 friends across the hall dressed as the California Raisins to trick or treat for UNICEF. I borrowed spats, white gloves and band shoes from my marching band director (Band shoes are wide and shiny) and we used large trash bags stuffed with tissue paper, and sunglasses to complete the costume I had a miniature tape recorded with Heard it Through the Grapevine snippets recorded and stuffed it into the bell of my sax (I was worried I couldn't keep my embouchure all night to play it in the cold). Of course, we did the dance moves, too. We had so much fun, made a lot of folks happy, and raised a decent amount to donate. This song brings so many memories! I used CCR's version over Marvin's as that was the album I had. Good times!

John Fogerty is a legend for a reason - his unique voice and his songwriting. This was one of many CCR hits, but it is a cover (which was also successfully covered by Marvin Gaye). You will be surprised how many Fogerty songs you know, which were covered by other artists - like Proud Mary, what you probably know fom performances by Tina Turner (- even Elvis did it). I would recommend Bad Moon Rising, my favourite song - just for your listening pleasure ;-)

Much like the extraordinary Jim Croce, CCR created their incredible catalog of original hits and covers over a four year period. Quite extraordinary. This is the radio single version that was shortened for USA radio. The full version is far superior as the instrumental jam is so tasty! Much like the legendary cover of this classic from Marvin Gaye of the Gladys Knight hit that first hit radio. The CCR cover has stood the test of time retaining popularity across the decades. Their original tunes are worthy of analysis even more than their covers.
