Polo, we’re all in that same boat. Appreciate the effort it takes to create this content, and I don’t think anyone dismissed what you do….$ is tight, for all of us, right now…..If that means that you have to delve into other ventures to accommodate your family, so be it. Your true fan-base will still be there for you, if you find your back to this…✌️
Keep fn with em…..they’re consistently good
Like a lot of good music CCR is intuitive sounding. Even if you’ve not heard the songs on a gut level it feels like you have
Run Through the Jungle is another one that's in a bunch of Vietnam War movies

One of scariest movies I ever saw- can't remember the name of it- but it had to do with hoo doo- which is basically tricking someone to switch bodies with you through voodoo magic-
It's always strange how little recognition this band gets. The were only active for about 4 years but in that time they cranked out 7 albums, 5 of which made the top 10. Pretty much every single they released went top 10. That is an absurd level of success.
They were HUGE in the late 60's and early 70's.
@@ooneybird27 in 1973, John Fogerty began his solo career with The Blue Ridge Rangers, his one-man band collection of country and gospel songs. Under his old CCR contract, however, Fogerty owed Fantasy eight more records. In the end, he refused to work for the label.
@James Ooten I think when he left CCR they still owed several albums to the label. Remember in the nineties when he got sued for plagiarizing one of his own songs? It was crazy.
They weren't just hits, either. They were all-time classics. Some commenter on another video used the batting average metaphor. They probably had the highest batting average (and slugging percentage) of any major band.
What ,where you been ?
Their version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" is top notch.
That’s the original version
@@jimhalas4195 No, the original version is by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 Debatable. Definitely not by CCR though.
Agree. My personal favorites thus far are Marvin Gaye's version, CCR 2nd, and Amy Winehouse live @ Jools Holland 2006 3rd
@@starfusion76 "'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' is a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. The first recording of the song to be released was produced by Whitfield for Gladys Knight & the Pips and released as a single in September 1967. "
I grew up on the great music of the 60's-70's. CCR has always been one of my favorites. John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. They don't have a bad song! Huge list of hits! "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Down On The Corner", "Susie Q", "I Put A Spell On You", "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Fortunate Son", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Run Through The Jungle", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" etc.
All those songs you listed are BANGERS!! I worked construction (painter) from 17-25 years old and Classic Rock was all we listened to. It really helped me get through the days.
Yes, I have the LP's from my 60's years with CCR - some of the best music ever. Many, many years later, I have been to Louisiana & felt the music in my soul. A few years ago my friend phoned me & said Fogerty was coming to the Penticton (BC, Canada) Events centre for a concert - Do I want to go??? HELL yea - It was fantastic!!! Good music does not go away.!!
We always have to remember CCR is John Fogerty.
The funny thing I heard, CCR that was taken over by other band members sued John Fogerty for sounding like himself when singing for CCR.
@@ruthwoodin550 Awsome experience. I had great experiences living in a TP on a mountainside out of Rock Creek not far from Penticton 1974-5. Wouldnt have missed that for anything in my time. When did they get to Penticton? Im now 75 and still have a TP up in my yard, Cheyanne style, hippy clone
@@aaronstandingbear I think just before covid - fall of 2019 ( I think,)A lot of the voices from our time never go away, when you think of how many are still singing in their 70's & 80's. I think your TP would still fit in at Rock Creek - it hasn't changed much hahahha
CCR is a classic band for a reason. They were hitmakers, and their music is just as good as it ever was.
Absolutely ❤❤❤❤
CCR brings back so many memories. As a little boy my mom would dance with me to this song on a record after she'd get a letter from my dad in Vietnam ,she would dance with tears of joy knowing he was still alive .I wasn't old enough to understand what it meant to her or me at that time but the joy of this song has never left my soul .
"Chasing down a hoodoo there"; a hoodoo was some animal you couldn't see but the dog is going total batshit and you start to wonder if it's something supernatural...
always wondered what the hoodoo was. Now I know. Thank you 😊
A hoodoo could also be a spirit.
Bigfoot
A "hoo doo" is a Cajun ghost, or a "haint".
I'm 57 and I always thought it was a hoodo hare, like a rabbit. Lol taught this old dog a new trick.
I would suggest their cover of I Put a Spell on You, the live version. Absolutely amazing.
YES!!
I’m a Louisiana (bayou country) boy who’s been in the outdoors for over 40 years… credence has been the soundtrack of my life. When I step off the dock into my boat this opening riff is what’s in my head. Thanks for this polo. Fogerty sounds like he catches oysters for a living. It’s amazing they’re not from here, they’ve got the original dirty south style
yup, I am from Eunice !
I'm from Morgan city
Me too, remember my dad playing this cassette in his old k5 blazer hauling ass to the lake
I’m LA-born & bred also. A swamp rat….
Lot of sole
I still have the 45 record of this song. It's actually the B side, with "Proud Mary" on side A. And, lucky me, I have tickets to go see John Fogerty next month live in concert. :)
CCR is so friggin great... Such a unique/satisfying vibe.... Absolute top-tier band. So many great songs.
"I can hear my ol' hound dog barkin', chasin' down a who-do-there" - Basically when your dog is hunting something you don't know is there, but the dog can sense it.
hoodoo
hoo͞′doo͞
noun
1. Magic healing and control, especially in African-based folk medicine in the United States and the Caribbean.
2. A practitioner of hoodoo.
I think the word also came to represent an ethereal being.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there (he enunciates "there" in an earlier stanza). It's a person; his hound dog was chasing a person.
HOO DO. LIKE A SUSQUATCH.. OR WORSE.
Lead singer, composer and lead guitarist John Fogerty has a most recognizable voice! Louisianans consider this their unofficial state song. CCR is from Berkeley, CA!
Their catalogue is an American treasure trove- keep going!
Heard It On the Grapevine.
Swamp rock cover of a classic becomes a classic.
CCR was a band that came out of San Francisco, despite the sound of John Fogarty’s voice and the swampy sound of their music. Hoo Doo is a Louisiana swamp spirit, I think. Enjoyed this very much, great analysis Polo. 🔥
across the bay in el cerrito.
My late H and I were in Shreveport for Mardi Gras weekend and the lead singer of Credence Clearwater was doing a free concert down the street from our hotel. Truly great, awesome time that night.
I saw John in concert a few years ago and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Everyone was singing along to all of his songs.
'Fortunate Son' is THE CCR song most used in movies.
I vividly remember when Suzi Q came out in 68. Never got to see them live, before they broke up. I finally got to see Fogarty in concert at a Indian casino some 30 plus years later. It was pure joy to see John jamming out on all the old hits. By far the best American band out of the sixties, but make no mistake, John Fogarty wrote the songs, played lead guitar, mixed the albums, and was 99% of the talent.
I had an after school day care in the 80s, kids 1st to 6th grade, they loved my oldies music. We'd crank it up and sing along. Suzi Q was one of their favorites.
After all the crap John had to put up from his former bandmates and their asshole manager, I've relabelled all the CCR in my digital music library as 'John Fogerty'. The rest of them can go straight to hell.
Fortunate Son is the song you were referring to in the beginning. It's an anti war song from the Vietnam War era. And yes, if they're showing helicopters in a war movie that song is always playing.
Run Through the Jungle.
Creedence Clearwater revival is one of the best classic rock bands ever. My girlfriend loves listening to classic rock around the house. Journey, Bachman-Turner overdrive, creedence Clearwater revival, Boston, Queen, the Yardbirds, cream. You name it we've always got it playing around here. You just can't go wrong with some good '60s classic rock
Love Randy Bachman!
At some point, check out the album "Odessey and Oracle" by the Zombies.
Some of the best harmonies ever. The band had broken up by the time the album released and saw success.
I'm a fan of how you pause just long enough to get your thoughts out and go right back to it. I need more of that in my life
Just a senior in HS when I started to notice music changing(68). War was raging a lot of unrest socially. Then came CCR I was blown away. In the ensuing years they got me through some very dark times. My generation was luck to have this music.
It wasn’t just the music that changed in ‘68. The difference between class of 67 and 68 was astounding. Our world made an epic shift.
I'm of the same age as you. There's a lot more unrest socially now than in the Nam years, wouldn't you agree? Except it's internal. Of our on creation, which is much more destructive. I think we are at war with ourselves.
CCR are legendary! Absolutely the music of the 60’s.
I love how this band transcends even in this age we live in! Any songs you hear from CCR you will love all their sound!! I was around when they first put this song!! Love you reactions, never change!😊😃
Yes, i remember when the Willy and the Poor boys album came out. I stood in line at the Licorice Pizza for hours. Still have the LP
@@Marynoelrh WORTH IT!!! Timeless!
Man, this generation will never understand the joy of waiting in line for that special album to drop. You have to buy the whole LP just the get the full version of the song you wanted.
@@Marynoelrh You are spot on!!
About your comments about solos and specifically in reference to this song, the word I always end up using when discussing John Fogerty's lead guitar playing and solos is; musical. He's not considered to be one of the rock guitar gods, but for virtually every song they ever did he always found an interesting hook or riff or solo to make it stand out, and always musical, within the shape of the song. Personally, I do rank him up there with the other rock guitar gods and demi-gods, and on top of that he was a phenomenal songwriter and singer.
Yes, classic rock instrumental breaks are definitely more musical in general than something like metal, which is all about speed and dexterity, it seems. And Fogerty in particular was absolutely amazing at coming up with musical guitar work that sounded awesome and fit the song perfectly. He is very underrated as a guitarist. In fact, I never see him mentioned as one of the greats. But listen to the long jam on Grapevine and see how wonderful that entire things sounds. It's absolutely brilliant at building and then releasing tension, and playing around with a theme in various ways. Similarly on many of their other deeper tracks, he does great work making his instrumental work serve the overall song.
And you can hear just a little snippet of his playing and know automatically it's him. He's among a select group of guitarists you can say that about.
@@stephanieo2509 So true. I had no idea when Blue Moon Swamp was released. One day I heard one of its tracks on the radio and I took notice immediately, because it sounded like Fogerty/CCR. And sure enough, it was him.
❤
Love your honesty man. I've heard songs before, but like you said, there is a big difference between hearing and listening. Not just in music but in each and every encounter with other humans.
John Fogerty was a genius when I was a little boy, so CCR has almost always been a part of my life. The nostalgia is incredible, but somehow CCR still sounds fresh, and amazingly pertinent.
Chasing down a hoodoo there... "Hoodoo is a magical, mystical, spiritual, non-defined apparition, like a ghost or a shadow, not necessarily evil, but certainly otherworldly." Looking forward to any and all CCR you react to. 😃
I am from Louisiana. My son still lives there. He is actually saying who do there. It means who is there? The dog is barking as if to say who is there.
Legends of the 60s and 70s. Still relevant today
A group of Cali boys playing Cajun Rock.Hoodoo is black magic.
back in the day, when this first came out, it was Everywhere..well, I was an Air Force brat living in Hawaii, Vietnam was goin on in real time, but CCR was Epic, I still love and have their music...I believe their song Susie Q first got my attention, and it too was played everywhere...I used to go to the teen club on Hickham AFB Hawaii , on Friday nights because they had a live band and a dance..lol, was such an innocent time, and every band played this...lol...
"Proud Mary" and"Down on the Corner" are two other great Credence songs.
Has stood the test of time. As a teenager in the 70's this was a rode trip song, and a sit around and "chill" song.
CCR are one of my all-time favorite Rock bands. John Forgety's voice is Soully AMAZING! The guitar playing, drumming is excellent.
Creedence was one of my favorites Back in the day. Great music back in the sixties.
Great Band of the "Classic Rock" era of the 60s and 70s music scene. They were from northern California, but everyone thought they were a Southern Rock Band from the south. Not so. They played country, Soul, Funk, and just about anything else. This song is one of their first released, and it came out in 1969. This song is iconic in Rock music.
I really enjoy your reactions to some of the best music ever! I love CCR, you can spend days and days on their music!❤️❤️❤️
I was a teenager in the ‘60’s. When CCR came on the scene, they seemed to not only dominate the charts; but, truly defined rock and roll. This is down and dirty, nitty gritty rock defined by the hard percussion and the guitars. We were just stopped in our tracks and absorbed the whole of every one of their tracks.
Their cover of I Put A Spell On You is something I never tire of, you should either react to it or just get it on and give it a listen! Fogerty's voice in that cover is the best! Then you have their other big hits, Fortunate Son, Proud Mary, Have you Ever Seen The Rain, Up Around The Bend, Bad Moon Rising...they're so good!
You might look crazy, jamming this rolling through a hood, but most people who love rock ‘n’ roll people will just say that it’s jammin.
I am a 60 year old white woman and I have been listening to Tupac for years. I live in a small NW town, and drive through it windows down and tunes up. Let people think what they think. I also love the Hu and a Ukrainian rapper called Yarmak. Music is beautiful, it flows across race and culture and touches everyone.
It's pleasing to hear young people like you appreciate our music! There's a ton for you to listen to.
Oh yes!!!! CCR!!!
CCR is forever burned into my brain.... Proud Mary, Run Through the Jungle, Lodi, Bad Moon Rising, Susie Q. Their tunes were in the background of my first summer away from home as a teenager. CCR is my coming of age music, and their sound will always bring me back! 💖 Thanks for the memories! 💋
John Fogerty is a legend! He has a ton of really good live content.
Man, I love this song so much. Definitely my favorite by CCR
CCR is in my top 5 favorite groups. They have a huge catalog you can dive into. There is not a bad song to be found!! John Fogerty has a great rock voice. His solo career was outstanding as well. You should react to Centerfield. It’s a fun upbeat song!! He also wrote Proud Mary which was covered by Ike and Tina Turner.
I remember I saw them live when I was 19. I'd taken speed and it was just the best. I'm now 74. Boy we had a great time.
Their version of "Long as I Can See the Light" is the best you will ever hear.
I remember my sisters dancing to this song. I was just a little girl, I'm 59 yrs old now. 70's and 60's music is the best. So many great Rock and Rollers.
John Fogerty, best voice i late 60’s, early 70’s rock. He is still out there rocking it.
So glad you loved this CCR song, there is
Nothing they did that I didn't Love.
I do have a request for one of my All time
Favorite songs. It's such a seriously,
Incredible Soulful song. Could you please
React to Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa
"I'd rather go blind" live in Amsterdam.
That particular version is the best, other
Than Etta James, but this one is just as
Good. I promise you won't regret it Polo!
Thank you ❤️❤️
Great reaction! Thanks!
“Who do there.” Who is/was there.
You said it perfectly there is a difference between listening and hearing anything. Great reaction as usual.
So glad you like them...I love CCR !!!
I've always been aware of CCR, but it was only when playing Mafia 3 and hearing their songs played alongside others of the time i realised how amazing they are, they sound like they're from a different era the quality is insane, then reading about the band and how the singer was such a perfectionist to the point of angering the rest of the band it made sense.
Now we need you to dive into some Little Feat and Steely Dan!!! Get some of that funk thrown in there!
little feat, yes! another fave!
My favorite by CCR, is "Up Around the Bend", from Good Morning Vietnam. Great respect for our military!
GREAT SONG FROM BACK IN THE DAY! USED TO LISTEN TO IT ON MY OLDER SISTERS RECORD PLAYER! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is the only band in history to have several songs reach number 2 in the charts without ever having a number 1. Look it up. It is unfair but true. CCR had multiple #2 hits. But in their entire career they never had a single chart topper. As a matter of fact, one of their biggest hits was Bad Moon Rising, and that song, as iconic as it is now it only reached #2 on the music charts.
Love some CCR! As long as I can see the light.
Yes indeed, CCR no one can come close.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Excellent review as always! Try “Keep on Chooglin’” by CCR.
They've got to double record album sets of their greatest hits. They were only together for five years another commenter mentioned seven albums just about every single one of those songs with a hit big time. You can't go wrong if you want to listen to all these by yourself with family friends, this is some of the best party music you will ever come across. You have just open yourself up for more pleasure in your life from this band. John Fogerty went solo and continued making so many hits in my book. Thank you for this
One of my favorites. Grew up with their music. Love them!
Thanks for your reviews, I really enjoy them.
Just found you. Love this! Brings back a lot of memories for me!CCR is one of my all time favorites!
Love your channel! Excellent camera presence you have, and a wonderful, smooth voice!!! Beautiful background, and show intro and production. Keep up the great work brother,
and much continued success!!! 😀😀😀
Awesome band!
Do more..... Their live version of I Put A Spell On You at Woodstock is phenomenal!! 🏆
CCR are always great to listen to imo. I love John Fogerty‘s unique voice.
Swampy music for the next generation! Where is this stuff anymore? Nowhere. Good review.
This was a real cranker in our 1970 Nova, 8-track and all.
"I can still hear my old hound dog barking Chasing down a Hoodoo there". Believe it. John Fogerty has a fantastic voice and is the songwriter genius giving CCR it's iconic grooves, voice and stories.
Love you and your reactions!!
In the '60s and '70s in the USA CCR was huge. People listened to them from cradle to grave in age groups they fit so well across so many genres.
This was known as swamp rock ( Southern, too). It's timeless.😊
I like your reaction. What I like even more is the smile on my face throughout the song. You see this took me back to the ninth grade dance after the football game. 66 now, but still remembering CCR! Love it!
Hello from Cody Wyoming! Your awesome Polo...keep it up😊 if you keep reacting I'll keep watching
It’s 1974, I’m on Alki Beach in west Seattle cruising the beach, later sitting by the fire with about 10 friends listening to CCR. It was the best time of my life!
I was born in 81, but i remember my dad playing his fave records a lot of evenings when i was a kid, and CCR was definitely one of them. Ive always loved their music bc of it.
I was about 12 when this came out in 1969 and was just 'on the radio' like so many of these rock classics. Amazing that John Fogerty who wrote this song was only 24 or so when it came out. Just fantastic artistic masterpieces are often produced by people who were relatively so young.
He has a unique voice and still going strong. You should check out the live video of them doing I Put A Spell On You-Best version ever. I love CCR! I'm sure you will too!
Love this band so much. One of my mom's favorites.
I'm in my mid to late 60s. CCR should have been my first concert. At my young age, I wasn't allowed to go to rock concerts. I had planned to go with my best friend and told my Mom that we were going to listen to some Revival music and got the OK. My oldest sister figured out what I was trying to do and told on me. Not only did I miss the concert, I also got grounded 😊. Would have been worth it if I had gotten to see the concert.😂
always loved CCR, thanks Polo!!!!!
John Fogerty was an Army Vietnam war veteran. He wrote “Fortunate Son” to show the hypocrisy of the war.
One of the greatest ignored bands of all time. John Fogerty was truly superb. Good for you to "listen", a rare thing these days. I appreciate how you venture into new and different (for you) music - please keep doing it. You are a fresh and welcome reviewer here on YT.
Always loved this song ❤️
I haven't heard this song in a long time but it surely gets my attention and I want to dance! This album was played at our parties and the whole crew would dance including my former husband who was recouping from a motorcycle accident and I was taking care of a newborn. Phew, that's a mouthful. Loved CCR and your reaction Potomars!
This song has probably been in movies but not war movies. You are thinking of Fortunate Son
Or Run Through The Jungle.
I’ve seen Forrest Gump way too many times as well😂. I have been introduced to so much music via soundtracks; “American Graffitti” introduced me to Doo-Wop when I was about 12, “Urban Cowboy” introduced me to Country a couple of years after that. All mind expansion ❤❤❤
Wasn't the CCR song on the Forest Gump soundtrack Fortunate Son rather than Born On The Bayou? As someone who has also seen the movie more times than I care to remember, I can't place the scene that this song is in....
@@liberatetheslack I thought it was fortunate son as well, but in the opening of his reaction he referenced Gump and this song, so I went with it; didn’t call it out as he’s new to CCR titles 😊
@@jacqueline4514 yeah I wasn't calling you out either, was just wondering if my memory had regressed any further! The Gump soundtrack is a thing of beauty but I do think there would have been room for this song on there somewhere - especially seeing as Bubba was from Bayou La Batre.
@@liberatetheslack Ha! Agreed! The soundtrack IS a thing of beauty ❤️
My grandparent's (RIP) favorite band of all time
You got a sound system in the 4runner. This is gonna hit and thump.
This is a rabbit hole worth your descent. Thanks for reacting!
I''m 70 years old, and I can tell you John Fogerty and CCR absolutely WERE THE SOUND OF the VIETNAM war. Soldiers in Vietnam had access to radio, and all CCR songs were top tier. Run Through The Jungle....Senater's Son...etc...They were also VERY popular on the radio at home. CCR music set the sound for all "Swamp Rock" ..a new catagory.
Chasin' down a hoodoo there... Love me some CCR! Swampiest band to ever come out of... California, LOL
John Fogarty has the most amazing voice, musical ability, writing ability. This, Green River, Proud Mary, Fortunate Son, all are phenomenal. Stuck in Lodi and Lookin Out My Backdoor are also worth listening to.
I absolutely love CCR, and listened to much of their music growing up, and I literally laughed out loud, when you said this guy has a voice that sounds like he is in pain, like he hit his shins or something, and I am thinking to myself, has he ever listened to Janis Joplin 😃😃😃 Would love you to react to her, especially her, Cry Baby!!!
Best day of my life was June 9, 1998. I was a passenger in a crash. We got sideways, rolled the car over and slammed a tree. Headlights and taillights nearly pointed same direction. I was dead for over 10 minutes. It took 7 defib shocks to get me back. Coma 5 days, stroke, seizures, hospital 7 weeks, I only remember the last week. Death has his greasy hands on me, but the Lord snatched me from him, kept me alive. And that is the greatest day of my life. 2nd place is the day I got hit by lightning and walked away unharmed. Fingers, toes tingled for 4 hours, wide awake for 3 weeks. 3rd best day of my life is the day I discovered Wheel. They're alot like Tool, but still unique. The song Wheel by Wheel still blows my mind, POLO REACTS
Great song and thanks for sharing Polo and I appreciate you sharing. Although; I have a question; what is that device that is constantly which is setting behind your right shoulder.. It is quite an interesting conversation piece.
"Leads..leads we got a whole team working on them"
