What a story John, my brother died in 89 and he loved your music. When he was in the hospital waiting for the inevitable, he had CCR on his headphones.
And thank God, John that you did!! that song has been stuck in my head for 50 years, with the rest of your music. Big fan John thanks for your inspiration's
John Fogarty is an amazing songwriter and a terrific father. Just consider all his at- home videos during covid lockdown and his three children shining like bright lights singing with their father. The fogartys are a beautiful family.
Thank you, John; “Proud Mary” was also one of my favorites!!! I was in 3rd it 4th grade at the time and our Student Teacher was directing our class in a school play to which the girls were dancing to “Side ‘O The Road” from Willy and The Poor Boys. And then I was hooked on CCR!!! May God Bless You, J.C. Fogerty 🙏🙏🙏
John, I’m 86 years old I lived your life I lived in Colorado in the mountains at the time and I just gotten out of the service. I just got married and I wanted to do what you did but I went the other way and I raised eight boys, but I have every song that you’ve ever done. My wife loves. Have you stop the rain she thinks that’s the greatest song ever was and I’m proud that you have your family and the mistakes. we make is how we learn a lot by being successful. God bless you and your family and I love hearing your little stories because I never got to see even when you was at red rocks. I wasn’t five minutes away I just had to work. God bless you again.
One of my best early memories was being in grade two in 1969, and my older brother was in grade 7 playing in a band called Sunshine Express (how 60s is that?) at a talent contest at the school. They played Proud Mary, and Crimson and Clover...Won the contest too! Many more great memories from being a kid to a teen involved your music John. The nostagia is enough to make a guy weep. Thank you, and God Bless.
Thank you John for going back on tour to bring your great music back so Everyone can hear it now, love you John Fogerty! You helped me thru some tough times back in the day with your awesome music!
We drove by your place in Troy Oregon today, you’re still a beloved member of the town! The people who’ve known you for years speak well of you. It’s been wonderful getting to know Troy this summer. My son even jumped off the bridge on the 4th of July! We wish you many more years of blessings and music!!
Fantastic story wow! Fair play to you John Fogerty what a rock classic. It’s amazing how fate always seems to be right beside these world class songwriters.
Such a mysterious setting. Dust moving in the background.Makes me think of El Cerrito where you would never see a location like that. And how we move around this world 👍🇺🇲🍿
Fantastic song! You created a significant song for yourself; but also for Tina Turner. I love her live concerts towards the end of her career. Every time I saw one, I thought of you and your performance at Woodstock! Fantastic..... few people can lay claim to the impact of this song on both your career and Tina's. You are an amazing talent and I frequently cover your songs; however I never cover Proud Mary, as I know I'll never come close to your brilliance!
I appreciate you being True to the Great music 🎵. Hope to see you in the Ozarks Missouri Arkansas. What a great Family. Thanks for John Fogerty Legendary 🙏🌄🦌🎵
Have been watching some of the bands old TV performances on UA-cam, man you wrote a lot of great songs. I'm 62, been a fan since the first time hearing. Wishing you and your family the best.
That back story is so awesome John ! the riff da da da daaa, totally makes since now.. love it.. Saw you in Nashville couple weeks ago. I have never had chance t see you, show is just fantastic !!!
John has a real gift, maybe even a divine gift. He gets inspiration from everywhere and his ability to recall specifics down to the detail, you can tell plays a big role in his writing.
Thank you John, I bought your last book and I was floored by the way you wrote all the hits. You should do videos like this on how you wrote all those hits one at a time. You will get millions of viewers and subscribers. Which you already do. But it certainly wouldn't hurt.🎶🎶🎶👍👍
Your music soothed our jangled nerves for us guys in the Vietnam war. We would come back into base camp from our run through the jungle, small groups of us would listen you your music and feel good . Then the next day get up. and do it all over again. Thank you John.
What a classic song it is , just love hearing these little magical stories , always have enjoyed playing this song on guitar with all those sweet riffs going on and now that I know the history of the song it will be even more enjoyable.
Great story John and a great song ! My wife and I just saw you play in San Diego 2 nights ago what a concert and venue ! We had such a great time! I’m glad I finally got to see you perform. God bless and thank you for all the great music and memories
In the big picture the best songs write themselves we are just the pen and paper John just humbly pointed that out quite well and that humility is a great part of his whole persona… Got to Love Fogerty…!!
Thank you for sharing that. I remember when I first heard the song it was 1990 and I was 4 years old. My mom used to play it in the car as we drove wherever our daily mission took us. And one of the first words I could really remember was “Rolling, Rolling” and I cought on the whole song as we sung it every time it came on. Which, was still alot at that time! Your music is timeless, and you were damn right it was a classic! Thank you for letting us have it!
I was 14 in 1968 when I got my first guitar, inspired by John Fogerty's songs. Switched to bass pretty quickly, but still playing and still grateful. 😊
Hi Hallo John Fogerty.... Great thanks in uploading this video. Yaa..I also familiar with your other hits song "Proud Marry"🙏 Especially when Tina Turner also sing this song on her world -tour. Bravo JF .... Warm Greetings from Jakarta-INDONESIA🙏👍💗👄
I've often thought ,that the greatest thing we can achieve in our lives ,is to inspire others... ...you have inspired millions... Thank you for the music. Rock on John...

Thank you for sharing the memories of writing that very iconic song John! Thank you as well for showing us your little magical little red binder that I'm sure contains many of the hit songs you wrote!
Thanks John for that beautiful story how Proud Mary was created. I saw you almost two decades ago in Antwerpen, Belgium and I'm surprised you're still going strong and perform. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
Thank you for your beautiful, meaningful & lively music, John. Your music coloured my younger days and now, in my 60's, I still listen to your music and watch the videos of your concerts.
He’s got a great memory. He clearly takes great care of himself. Living legend. My favorite songwriter ever.
Mine too. He could bring it live too, which is a talent in its own.
Az enyém is, és imádom!@@mark-dietz
@@mark-dietz "Could"? Hell, he still is!
He had his little book.
Thank you John for the pleasure of knowing your music
❤ God Bless you John!
What a story John, my brother died in 89 and he loved your music. When he was in the hospital waiting for the inevitable, he had CCR on his headphones.
Waiting for the inevitable in 89? Was it AIDS?
@modickens1272 too much of something else

I just commented with a story of my 11 yr old brother playing in a band in 1969. Proud Mary was their best song. Such influence CCR had on us all!
Джон благодарим за творчество..песни..рок н ролл..всех благ здравия благополучия..
I love how happy you seem to be just talking about how you wrote Proud Mary.
I always turn it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My cousin would roll his arms to the song. Sweet memory.

Thank you Mr. Fogerty. Always loved your music.
Proud Mary knocked me out when I first heard it. John, how about a video on how you became so incredible on guitar.
Imagine that the band actually hated the idea of "Proud Mary" being a single!
