I gotta say, they Put a Spell on me everytime I hear it. SO SO good. I think it might be my favorite from them. It's long and spellbindingly intense....you can feel the emotion the song intends for you to feel. What a great band!
CCR classics - Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, Fortunate Son, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Bad Moon Rising, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Run Through the Jungle, I Put A Spell On You, Green River, Down On the Corner, Who'll Stop the Rain I guarantee that you've heard all of these at some point, at the very least as part of a movie's soundtrack.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
Some of my favorites are: Midnight Special, Lodi, Run Through the Jungle & Have you ever seen the Rain. I think you’ll enjoy any of them. All same sorta style. John Fogerty has a soulful, raspy voice which fits this style of music perfectly. imo
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.
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.
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!!! 😎🍸
CCR has sooo many good/great songs! You can't go wrong. There may be people who don't love CCR... but I don't know if I've ever met anyone who actively dislikes Creedence.
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.
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.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD ALL CCR ALBUMS!! "RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE" AND "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" AND "SUZIE Q". AWESOME BAND!! AWESOME REACTION MOLLYBOY, YOUR AWESOME!! 😊💓🤘✌️🔥🔥
"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.
Ok I need to recommend “Whipping Post” by The Allman Brothers, if you are into the raspy, unique voices. And I am gonna need a few 100 likes to this comment to verify what I am saying so he listens ASAP.
I just have to say, long before they became a national hit, they played at a beach hut type of eating place on the beach in Texas. My husband, when he was young, actuat sat in and played with them. But .my hubby played the harmonica. That was a lifetime experience for him.
You’ll love ‘Born on the Bayou”, the rasp is so great. Super hot rasp in my opinion is the fabulous Bob Seger singing “Night Moves”, “Turn the Page”and “Come to Poppa”😛🤓❤️
Bravo. They are the first band I love when I was 12 years. Have many hits....their catalogue are big. I Put Spell on you is to much...Have you ever sing the rain, beautiful....Long as I Can see the ligth....Molina...
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.
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.
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
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.
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!😎😎😎😎
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
Don't be afraid to grow and evolve what you do. One of my other favorite reactions channels started out 80's, but have gone back as far as the 30's! The roots of rhythm and blues goes back a LONG time, and is the basis for most of our music today! It is your channel. You do with it whatever you want and we will come along with you.
The interesting thing about CCR is they are from El Cerrito, California, a lower middle-class suburb in San Francisco's East Bay, eighth-graders John Fogerty, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, like so many other rock & roll crazed kids, took matters into their own hands and did the natural thing: they formed a band.
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.
You MUST hear the long version of this one.. trust me. As a guy who was there when it was new. The long version is a must. Pure JAM tune. 16-19 min long i think? But much more to hear then this one. Gotta do it friend.. got to👍👍 …. Dan. North fl USA. 👍😎 great reaction. Glad ya found CCR!!
I think you should do more reactions to live performances or official videos’ it adds so much to see what they wore back then and how much fun they were having. Keep up the good work!
You must go back and listen to the full album version of this song. Its over 11 minutes of pure bliss. Lead singer John Fogarty is a genius singer songwriter. Tons of incredible songs to check out. Try I Put A Spell On You next, Johns voice will blow you away.❤
Their version of 'I Put a Spell on You' is the rawest, bestest ever!
Arguably the original by Screamin Jay Hawkins is the rawest, but still CCR's version is sick as fuck.
I gotta say, they Put a Spell on me everytime I hear it. SO SO good. I think it might be my favorite from them. It's long and spellbindingly intense....you can feel the emotion the song intends for you to feel. What a great band!
I love their live version video of I’ll put a spell on You ❤
I agree.
You need to hear the whole Creedance library. It’s all great to amazing. This is a rabbit hole well worth the journey🤘
Agreed!
Aye
Thanks ❤. I'm 66 and will enjoy like this fucking limey l ❤ to.
Down On The Corner
Midnight special 👍
The only band in history that never had a bad song!!! Absolutely brilliant!
AGREE 100%
CCR classics - Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, Fortunate Son, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Bad Moon Rising, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Run Through the Jungle, I Put A Spell On You, Green River, Down On the Corner, Who'll Stop the Rain
I guarantee that you've heard all of these at some point, at the very least as part of a movie's soundtrack.
All of these are pretty perfect. CCR never had a bad song, in my memory. Excellent & amazing!
Check out sweet hitch hiker.
and Suzie Q
Add "Long as I Can See the Light" to that list!
Yeah! SWEET HITCH HIKER!
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.
Damn shame the others never really understood and accepted that.
Democracy and bands don’t work.
I allways forget Stu cooks name...
The uncut extended version of this song is a must for the playlist
Yeah I mentioned it in the last comment but the uncut version which I’m sure is on your playlist is amazing. Also check out Ramble Tamble
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.
I will check it out ❤❤❤😊😊😊😮😮😮😊
Every song from this band is a banger.
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.
This is so perfectly said
@@mariannetuite7411 Kind of you to say so, Marian!
BORN ON THE BAYOU is a MUST listen from CCR.
I Put a Spell On You, Midnight Special, Long as I Can See the Light, Hey Tonight
That's fucking swamp music right there 🔥
Yes!! Swamp FIRE!! 😊
Yep. That is what we used to call it. Kind California (they are all from El Cerrito) version of swamp chugga chugga.
“Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”
“Long as I Can See the Light”
“Bad Moon Rising”
“Run Through the Jungle”
If you love rasp, do Bob Seger (Turn the Page, Like a Rock, Night Moves, Old Time Rock and Roll). Every one of his songs is amazing.
Oh my God, YES! He’s amazing
Famous Final Scene too.
Bob Seger got me through my teenage year's 🎶 ♥ Now he's getting me through old age 😂
Ramblin', Gamblin' Man is my favorite. It came out about the same time as CCR's Proud Mary.
Or Bruce Springsteen if you like rasp!
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.
Whenever I hear this song I can't help to think of the "California Raisins" ad campaign.
"The uncut extended version of this song is a must for the playlist"..... totally agree with this comment! Treat yourself to the FULL version.
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
You really have to do the full 11 minute version. This is the video edit. The guitar solos in it will blow your hair back.
My friends dad lived next door to these guys and regularly got to sit and watch them practice and drink beers with them..
Ahhhhh, wish there was a time machine to be able to go back to the time when music was real.
CCR on 8-track in my '69 Torino fastback--best days of my life.
CCR doesn't have any bad songs in their entire catalog. Every song they recorded was simply incredible
Dude has a fantastic vocal range, a resonant voice. And he KNOWS how to control his voice. Tight band. Excellent.
His name is John Fogerty and he's one of the best, you need to listen to the album version of this song
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.
Great points--no effing autotune. Either you could sing or not. Talent and attitude.
I was twelve years old when this album was released in 1970. I still have it.
As a Granny I'm so glad to see young people enjoying the music I loved growing up in my teens🙂 Enjoy as you learn!
You can't beat those old school guitar riffs!
You don't get that anymore
Top Tier Classic R 'n R
Stands the test of time.
Glad you enjoy it . . . Age 74
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...
This is one of the greatest bands from the 70's.
BORN ON THE BAYOU
CCR
If you like the Southern sound of this song you should hear Molly Hatchet they were a Heavy Southern Rock band. Beatin the odds.
Some of my favorites are: Midnight Special, Lodi, Run Through the Jungle & Have you ever seen the Rain. I think you’ll enjoy any of them. All same sorta style. John Fogerty has a soulful, raspy voice which fits this style of music perfectly. imo
Lodi. I'm sure Tesla covered that on their 5 Man Acoustical Jam album.
Lodi 👏👏👏
I still listen to Teslas 5 man…to this day! One of my favorites. Seen them in concert many times & always a rockin’ show.
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 ❤️❤️
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.
Just like AC⚡️DC
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.
The long version of 11 minutes is an awesome jam session worth listening too, this is the short radio version.
this was the jingle for the California Raisins commercial
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!!! 😎🍸
The song they sing 'I want to know... have you ever seen the rain' is my favorite
You're Welcome, and thanks for the listen ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Such a fun band, been listening to them for sooo long.
Cant You See by Marshall Tucker Band
One of my all times favorite tunes!!
Oh. CCR has so many fantastic songs…. Must get into their songs…. Timeless, and definitely EPIC🎶❤️🔥❤️🔥🎶
CCR has sooo many good/great songs! You can't go wrong.
There may be people who don't love CCR... but I don't know if I've ever met anyone who actively dislikes Creedence.
If you like this one you gotta "Keep On Chooglin"..his guitar and harmonica are out of this world on it !!!!!!!
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...

Your chills are so contagious mine double when you mention yours-Lol. Someone appreciating what you love is irresistible.
John Fogerty's voice on 'Long as I Can See the Light' is incredible.
Happy to see you discovering bands like CCR along with the heavy stuff. It’s all about variety in life.
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.
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.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD ALL CCR ALBUMS!! "RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE" AND "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" AND "SUZIE Q". AWESOME BAND!! AWESOME REACTION MOLLYBOY, YOUR AWESOME!!
😊💓🤘✌️🔥🔥
I like it that you are listening to my music and loving it. Rock On!!
This song was my introduction to CCR I fell in love back in the late 60's Nothing like them
They are also a great album band. The whole album at a time, those were the days.
Their cover of "Midnight Special" is a must for you to check out young brotha
"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.
Ok I need to recommend “Whipping Post” by The Allman Brothers, if you are into the raspy, unique voices. And I am gonna need a few 100 likes to this comment to verify what I am saying so he listens ASAP.
Def Allman Brothers fan, he needs to react to!
🎵🎵 "HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN" 🎵🎵 Best CCR song ever!!
I just have to say, long before they became a national hit, they played at a beach hut type of eating place on the beach in Texas. My husband, when he was young, actuat sat in and played with them. But .my hubby played the harmonica. That was a lifetime experience for him.
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.
Hey Tonight is a heater
So is Traveling Band
Up Around the Bend
Run Thru The Jungle. All smoking old school CCR
It was fixing to get awesome, they are going to tear it up! Listen to the full long version! You will ❤ it❣️
listen to the full 11 minutes, one of the best guitars in the history of the universe
You’ll love ‘Born on the Bayou”, the rasp is so great. Super hot rasp in my opinion is the fabulous Bob Seger singing “Night Moves”, “Turn the Page”and “Come to Poppa”😛🤓❤️
Turn The Page is one of my all time favourite songs. Seger is phenomenal
Some southern rock magic today, Yay! CCR r truly amazing. Being obcessed as a child of the 70s I'll be a forever fan.🔥🔥✌✌
Bravo. They are the first band I love when I was 12 years. Have many hits....their catalogue are big. I Put Spell on you is to much...Have you ever sing the rain, beautiful....Long as I Can see the ligth....Molina...
Try listening to Iron Butterlfly In a Gadda da vita the long version CCR in one of the best groups of the 70;s
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.
Honey honey yeah!! LIT. Joe cocker has a gritty gravelly beloved voice, aaaand a killer live performer.
When I go fishing CCR comes with.❤😁
John Fogerty likes to go fishing, too.
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.
One of the first songs I remember as a kid. My dad had this on reel to reel. Definitely bayou music
I love watching you learn to love music from my childhood!❤️❤️ Much love from North Carolina, USA❤️🇺🇸❤️
CCR is one of those bands you play on a long road trip for like 10 hours straight because every song is gold
I actually like this better than the Marvin Gaye version
That's because it IS better. That's really saying something.
Don't forget Gladys night and the pips. Probably the biggest hit with this song
Yes and he is still touring !!!!! Love it 🤘✌❤🎶🎵🇨🇦
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
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 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!😎😎😎😎
I miss those days of great music everywhere.
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
C.C.R is iconic a Awesome deep catalog !!! Great Reaction mollyboy !!! 👍🔥💯... C.C.R is simple but badass music !!! The singer is John Fogerty !!!
“I Put A Spell On You” is an awesome cover by CCR! 💙👵🏼✌🏼
Glad to see you young ones enjoying the music I grew up with, nothing ever ever will beat the 60s and 70s music, it was magic
Don't be afraid to grow and evolve what you do. One of my other favorite reactions channels started out 80's, but have gone back as far as the 30's! The roots of rhythm and blues goes back a LONG time, and is the basis for most of our music today! It is your channel. You do with it whatever you want and we will come along with you.
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!
Definitely listen to “Hey Tonight.”
The lead singer and lead guitarist John fogerty is around 80 years old today and still touring and he still puts on a great show...
The interesting thing about CCR is they are from El Cerrito, California, a lower middle-class suburb in San Francisco's East Bay, eighth-graders John Fogerty, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, like so many other rock & roll crazed kids, took matters into their own hands and did the natural thing: they formed a band.
"MIDNIGHT SPECIAL" was always one of my favs!
You need to hear the long version of this song. The guitar solo is amazing
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!!
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.

Love CCR They are icons. John Fogerty has such an awesome voice. Love your reaction!
C.C.R is great , excellent catalog grew up listening to C.C.R still do !!! Great reaction mollyboy !!! ✌️🇺🇸💯...
You MUST hear the long version of this one.. trust me. As a guy who was there when it was new. The long version is a must. Pure JAM tune. 16-19 min long i think? But much more to hear then this one. Gotta do it friend.. got to👍👍 …. Dan. North fl USA. 👍😎 great reaction. Glad ya found CCR!!
I think you should do more reactions to live performances or official videos’ it adds so much to see what they wore back then and how much fun they were having. Keep up the good work!
This is on the first album (Cosmo's Factory) I ever bought, even though I was only 12 in 1970, I knew this album was the bomb.
You must go back and listen to the full album version of this song. Its over 11 minutes of pure bliss. Lead singer John Fogarty is a genius singer songwriter. Tons of incredible songs to check out. Try I Put A Spell On You next, Johns voice will blow you away.❤
One of the ultimate best ever....ever....❤
