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", "Fortunate Son", "I Put A Spell On You", "Proud Mary", "Born On The Bayou", "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", "Bad Moon Rising" etc.
Creedence is one of the few band that managed to find the right mix between raw rock and pop music. All of their songs somehow were radio-friendly. And I'm not talking about American radio stations where anything goes. No, I'm talking European radio stations like RTL (Radio Television Luxemourgois) or France Inter. CCR was one of the first rock bands I discovered at the tender age of 8 or 9, late sixties. Thanks for the memories, ladies. Warm greetings from Belgium.
CCR was hugely popular beck in the day. In 1975, when I was 15, a couple of guys I was going to school with had a few jam sessions. One of the songs we played was Proud Mary. My dad liked Big Band music too. He didn’t mind singers, but he was picky about who he liked. I remember him saying one time that he didn’t understand why there were so many guys singing with high voices, and wondered why they couldn’t sing more like Johnny Cash with his deep voice. I remember “egad” from a comic strip. I don’t remember which one. My dad would sometimes say, “It’s a shame that youth has to be wasted on young people.” His mother, my grandmother, would say, “It seems like common sense would teach people some things.”
My father was a Big Band aficionado, too. Nothing else was music as far as he was concerned. Because I heard that music when I was young, I grew to like it and I have many Big Band CDs today. I saw CCR at the Forum in Inglewood, California when they were at the height of their popularity. One of my favorite bands. When I bought my first car I installed a 4 track tape deck, yes 4 track, before 8 track. I used to like to cruise to Born On Bayou, Susie Q, Proud Mary, Good Golly Miss Molly, and Keep on Chooglin'. Great times!
Despite so many other great groups that were popular at that time, Creedence Clearwater Revival has stood the test of time, and how their music is still popular today
Original by co-writer Dale Hawkins, inspired by a record label owner's daughter, Susan (#27 in 1957). Many covers since, Creedence's version went to #1 in 1968, was on their debut album. Great Song! :)
Thanks for bringing back the memories CCR was and still is one of my favorite bands it's a shame that John and his brother had a falling out how much greater they could have been they didn't reconcile until it was too late at Tom's death some 40 years later
Ah, there's that appreciative snarl for a guitar riff, again. I can relate. John Fogerty, as either/both guitar player and singer finds a way to give me at least one moment of stank-face in every song.
John Fogerty stated in an interview years later that they always wanted to make music that was American and polar opposite to the Beatles/British-invasion which they considered an english sound. They achieved that to a tee. What a catalog of hits.
The epitome of Blue Collar 60’s swamp music!! BG, listen to the lyrics of “Fortunate Son” John Fogerty wrote this song about the unfairness of the draft order during the Vietnam War. “Run Through The Jungle” shows the grittiness of John’s voice. “Up Around The Bend”, “Who’ll Stop The Rain”, “Down On The Corner” are a couple other great songs!!
Glad to see one generation teaching the young what real.musics all about. We actually used our talent and payed instruments. No boy bands that don't play anything. Jim
Even at 60, I can relate to everything you are saying. And everything you are describing. Because in terms of bands, I went through all those things growing up. Of course it first it was all public school. And while it was really watching on budget, the messages that got across were pretty strong. That was lucky enough somewhere in that junior high range, I was always like first chair trumpet or close to it if we got the motive for doing pranks on each other and stuff.
Such a good show,made my day. Thursday's show was also great. Aubrey Hepburn and Cary Grant star in a Hitchcock movie Charade. You CAN'T solve it, so good.
Great Reaction Generation Gap! John Fogerty and his Son just finished a World Tour in Europe! He just turned 78 years young! And told a story about when he was a kid they records on cereal boxes! Those were 78 rpm! Back then we Record Players with 78,45 and 33 rpm’s! John Fogerty is really friendly I had the pleasure chat with him through the comments on his UA-cam Channel!🎶🎸🙏🏻
for many many years Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin was the theme tune for the BBCs ultra long running pop tv show Top of the Pops not many know that the original version was a cover by CCR
My Dad was always blowing me away. I would be listening, dancing or singing. Then my Dad would start singing along with the song. I was always asking him, How do you know this song!? He would just smile. My Mom was the one yelling up the stairs, Turn that racket down!😊
Lol lol lol. 99 versus 100. Well this song Susie Q is literally from their first album and another fantastic went off this that became a hit, was, ninety-nine and a half percent just won't do. It was kind of a Blues standard of sorts although not like super well-known. And they ended up making it their own. Ended up being really good for a while.
This song "Susie Q" is a cover by CCR. They covered a few songs throughout their time of success and trouble with Record Companies. They put their unique Bayou spin on those covers like "Good Golly Miss Molly", "I Put a Spell On You", "Heard It Through the Grapevine" which are classic awesome covers. The album version of Susie Q is actually 8+ minutes long with much more soloing by John Fogerty on lead guitar.
MUST HEAR Classics by Tony Joe White "Polk Salad Annie" (Later covered by Elvis & Tom Jones),, "Hard To Handle" (Later covered by The Black Crowes),, "Rainy Night In Georgia" (Covered By Brook Benton) & "As The Crow Flies"..Also writing "Steamy Windows" & "Undercover Agent For The Blues",, Both being hits for Tina Turner
Credence was a great group, a lot of fantastic music. Having watched a lot of your UA-cam I think you ladies would like another love song by John Denver called For You. The Hollies song He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother and Jim Croce Time In A Bottle. God Bless and good listening ladies!!
Actually I'm near 70 and CCR/John Fogerty is still my favorite group ever! Still great song started it in 1968. You need to react to I put a Spell on You, The Nightime is the Right Time, Fortunate Son, Up around the Bend and Traveling Band especially! John is still performing tho with his family.
Ladies, are aware that Austin Brown from Home Free wrote a trilogy of songs for his fiance Amberly that are out now on their UA-cam channel? Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lillys, MR. Please check them out! MR should be on the radio, it's that good 😊
Had a girl I knew, used to go park with her in the woods near our school for lunch... (too socially awkward and sexually naive back then to realize she coulda and shoulda been my girlfriend LOL) Anyway, when we took her car she always played CCR 8-tracks (For the record, in my car the tunes of the day were provided by Raspberries!)
John Fogerty refused to sing any CCR songs when he learned that his original contract with Fantasy Records said he had to pay a fee for any CCR song he did at a concert. For years he refused to sing any CCR songs live. So he got screwed out of his own songs.
Damn, another reaction channel that went with the severely editted version of this song. The album version is twice as long with fantastic Fogerty guitar
you have to watch "Apocalypse now"! I believe the song was played to the US soldiers out in the middle of the jungle, and they flew in some "playboy bunnies" to dance for them with this song! erotic.
Finally! ...a reaction channel that noticed that CCR's cover of the song is spelled, "Suzie Q" with a 'z'. (The original version by Dale Hawkins was spelled "Susie Q with an 's' as well as other covers spelled it that way. ) I'm not entirely sure why John Fogerty chose to spell it with a z but he did. My understanding is "Susie" with an 's' is the correct way to spell the name (which makes sense to me because it's one of a couple of short names for Susan which obviously is spelled with an 's' in the middle) But because it sounds like a 'z' when pronounced, some people spell it "Suzie". Anyway, Good job gap ladies!! 🙂👍
Ladies: I suspect I'm the same with my kid's music. To prove it, here's the original of this great song by Dale Hawkins released in 1957 ua-cam.com/video/eJuAfPun_P0/v-deo.html which is far more exciting than this turgid CCR version. Enjoyed your reaction though 😄
I'm disappointed that you played the short, Radio cut of the song, rather than the longer album release. Suzie Q is just getting started when the Radio version ends.

I can't help but think of the helicopter/Playboy bunny scene in APOCALYPSE NOW when I hear this song. The power of music.
I relate.

Great reaction! CCR was one of those bands that was instantly recognizable. The guitars and John's voice were so unique and unmistakable.
CCR recorded so many great songs during the late 60's through the early 70's. Their lead singer, John Fogerty, is one of the great singer-songwriters.
Plays a mean guitar too.
My father was a Big Band aficionado, too. Nothing else was music as far as he was concerned. Because I heard that music when I was young, I grew to like it and I have many Big Band CDs today.

#11, actually.
This family dialogue reminds me so much of certain parts of my family tree in Amaya door deeply. You guys are just so interesting.
Thanks for bringing back the memories CCR was and still is one of my favorite bands it's a shame that John and his brother had a falling out how much greater they could have been they didn't reconcile until it was too late at Tom's death some 40 years later
I can't think of this song without reverting to the playbunny scene in Apocalypse Now, wow what a great song
Ah, there's that appreciative snarl for a guitar riff, again. I can relate. John Fogerty, as either/both guitar player and singer finds a way to give me at least one moment of stank-face in every song.

You guys are great! I love it!
CCR was the go to band for kick ass party music...another great reaction, ladies...

Great song from them. Also like Run Thru the Jungle 🌞

Cat Steven "How can i tell you" live 1971 - such a beautiful lovesong
CCR awesome cool song yay, we use to jam to this song as a kid, good review 👍😎👌🎸🥁🎤
I danced at many bon fires to this and other songs in the 70s! Thanks for the reminders!
Suzie Q also featured on The Rolling Stones 2 Album, from 1965. A great track.
Such a good show,made my day. Thursday's show was also great. Aubrey Hepburn and Cary Grant star in a Hitchcock movie Charade. You CAN'T solve it, so good.
Cheers, Gaps!
Such a good song, hello ladies, I hope you are well
And my all time favorite is Up Around The Bend
Great Reaction Generation Gap!
John Fogerty and his Son just finished a World Tour in Europe!
He just turned 78 years young!
And told a story about when he was a kid they records on cereal boxes! Those were 78 rpm! Back then we Record Players with 78,45 and 33 rpm’s! John Fogerty is really friendly I had the pleasure chat with him through the comments on his UA-cam Channel!🎶🎸🙏🏻
Back In the day,, 2 artists that had the "Swamp Rock" sound,, C.C.R. & Tony Joe White (Aka:: "The Swamp Fox")..R.I.P.🙏❤️
for many many years Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin was the theme tune for the BBCs ultra long running pop tv show Top of the Pops not many know that the original version was a cover by CCR
I saw that in your face when he sung "I like the way you walk". 😂
I can't ever hear this without thinking about "Apocalypse Now"...
My Dad was always blowing me away. I would be listening, dancing or singing. Then my Dad would start singing along with the song. I was always asking him, How do you know this song!? He would just smile. My Mom was the one yelling up the stairs, Turn that racket down!😊

Suzy Q was great but my favorite CCR is Green River.

Haha, I think we all heard that story about walking to school in bare feet, up hill both ways. Hilarious
We always said that C.C.R. made their own genre of music which we called "Swamp Rock" 🐊
At the time, the critics called it 'Delta Rock' and 'Urban Country' ...
You must see... "I Put A Spell On You"... Live
As I recall it was often referred to as "Swamp Rock".
Credence was a great group, a lot of fantastic music. Having watched a lot of your UA-cam I think you ladies would like another love song by John Denver called For You. The Hollies song He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother and Jim Croce Time In A Bottle. God Bless and good listening ladies!!

Great suggestions!
There are records of the Roman times of old people complaining about the youth of their days
Ladies, are aware that Austin Brown from Home Free wrote a trilogy of songs for his fiance Amberly that are out now on their UA-cam channel? Give Me A Sign, Stargazer Lillys, MR. Please check them out! MR should be on the radio, it's that good 😊
Up hill both ways!
Hi Ladies - I always imagined that "Suzie Q." was a beautiful Asian...!
I hear ya Mom, it really feels like 100 years ago.
👍👍👍👍👍
Famous word was wait till you have kids haha 😂
Had a girl I knew, used to go park with her in the woods near our school for lunch... (too socially awkward and sexually naive back then to realize she coulda and shoulda been my girlfriend LOL) Anyway, when we took her car she always played CCR 8-tracks (For the record, in my car the tunes of the day were provided by Raspberries!)
CCR really influenced by the classic rockabilly sound. They just tweaked it the 60s crowd.
John Fogerty refused to sing any CCR songs when he learned that his original contract with Fantasy Records said he had to pay a fee for any CCR song he did at a concert. For years he refused to sing any CCR songs live. So he got screwed out of his own songs.
And of course it was uphill both ways.
Next=== Run through the jungle"...=Vietnam War"
More CCR gals. Thanks
Too bad this was the short version. The long version is even more badass.
Damn, another reaction channel that went with the severely editted version of this song. The album version is twice as long with fantastic Fogerty guitar
you have to watch "Apocalypse now"! I believe the song was played to the US soldiers out in the middle of the jungle, and they flew in some "playboy bunnies" to dance for them with this song! erotic.

Anyway, Good job gap ladies!! 🙂👍
good observation. I went and found a photo of the back cover of the album and you're exactly right. It is spelled "Suzie Q"
Great reaction but minor correction. It's called blues music not bluegrass. Bluegrass is country music 🎉
Ladies: I suspect I'm the same with my kid's music. To prove it, here's the original of this great song by Dale Hawkins released in 1957 ua-cam.com/video/eJuAfPun_P0/v-deo.html which is far more exciting than this turgid CCR version. Enjoyed your reaction though 😄
