Hearing Creedence Clearwater For The First Time

Highly requested one today! Get ready to rock out with me as I dive into the legendary sounds of Creedence Clearwater Revival, or CCR for short! I can't believe I'm about to experience their music for the very first time, and I'm stoked to share this moment with all of you.

Led by the incredible singer-songwriter, John Fogerty, this band ruled the rock scene in the 60s and 70s with their hits like "Proud Mary," "Fortunate Son," and "Bad Moon Rising." And were even involved in the war at the time! Seriously, why haven't I listened to them before?!

Get ready for some honest reactions, groovy vibes, and pure joy as I discover why CCR is considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. So come along on this musical journey with me, and let's see what all the fuss is about!

1:12 🤣Chewie still looks so bewildered, you think he’d be used to these video shenanigans 🤣

You never realize you’re in the mood for a CCR song until it starts playing. Then you are.

My dad is Tom Fogerty and my Uncle is John Fogerty. Drummer is Doug Clifford and bassist is Stu Cook. They started off as Tommy Fogerty and The Blue Velvets in 1959. My dad was the leader and lead singer. Songs were written by my dad and Uncle John together. They found Uncle John's voice in 1966. Uncle John took over as lead singer and songwriter. in 1967 they reinvented themselves, hence " Revival " 1st song was Suzie Q. In 1968. Then in 1969 they hit the top of the charts worldwide with " Proud Mary with Born On The Bayou " as the A side actually. The DJ's flipped the vinyl 45 single over and Proud Mary got to #2 in the USA. Then they had 20 more top hits in only 3 years thru January 1971. The last hit song with ALL 4 members was this song you just heard. you need to check out any song off their greatest hits double album, CHRONICLE. Which has sold over 11 million copies in the USA alone. Getting to RIAA Diamond status. And again, CREEDENCE was the same 4 guys since they were kids in my grandma's basement in 1959. JEFF FOGERTY

CCR is one of the greatest bands ever. They ruled the charts in the early 70s

[cackalackcowboy]

CCR is an example of what Rock really is, a blend of Folk, Country and Blues.

[DonP_is_lostagain]

CCR actually had a "sound" that was dubbed "swamp rock". To understand why you have to listen to "Running Through The Jungle", and "Fortunate Son". They had great songs, a great sound, and John Fogarty went on to a successful solo career.

[rubbersole]

Their "20 Greatest Hits" album is truly just that. Not a bad song on it.

[heatherg-thatsme]

My dad loved CCR so we grew up listening to it all the time. His love for the band was easily passed on to my sister and myself. It is crazy that John Fogerty was sued by his former record label for sounding too much like himself, but that’s a story for another day.
Hope you Chewie are doing well

CCR had a substantial portfolio of culturally influential songs. I was born in '51 and served in the army 69-72. We simply lived through the time of the greatest music ever. The memories can easily make you cry. Those who were there know im speaking truth.

“Fortunate Son, ” an anti-war song, was written for Vietnam vets and against children of privilege from a time that evaded the military draft. Mostly politicians kids. All their songs are good.

[NativelyBornAmerican]

CCR has some of the world’s best knee-slapping, toe-tapping, head-bobbing rock music ever produced. It’s a sound that can’t be beat. And the lyrics are… felt by so many.

[gejuje]

CCR was huge in most of the world, but in Denmark they were the undisputed number one band. For two years everything they released, shot straight to number one on the charts.

[chrissnow]

Love them. One of the best bands ever. Always in the mood for CCR

[JasonMoir]

You've definitely heard more CCR's music than you realize. They are often featured in TV shows and movies. Any footage involving the Vietnam War usually is accompanied with the CCR song "Fortunate Son."

[jesselobo]

This song according to John Fogerty foretold the breakup of the band. They were at the height of their popularity and John was miserable. CCR is one of my all-time favorite bands and their catalog is immense. You can do a deep dive of their music and you won't be disappointed. Born on the Bayou, I Heard It through The Grapevine, Susie Q, Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, Proud Mary are just some of the classics that you should react to. Thank you.

[paullangland]

My favorite song from this band is Looking Out My Backdoor. It is a very catchy tune that I like to listen to every now and then.

[trentk]

This band's sound launched country rock, which ran right up through the Eagles. It was basically made of Tom's band and his brother John who was the brains of the outfit. Most guys in the military at that time will tell you that CCR is the quintessential Viet Nam Era Band (Run Through The Jungle, Bad Moon Rising, Born On The Bayou, Fortunate Son).

I am 79 and grew up with groups like Credence. One of the premier groups of the time. Back then it was records and cassette tapes along with disc jockies who promoted the bands.

Classic 70’s Americana takes me back to my childhood. I may have heard this thousands of times but never gets old.

5:35 Whenever I hear *Fortunate Son* by _Creedence Clearwater_ my first thought is life on the Mekong Delta, during the Vietnam War. Fortunate Son has been used numerous times on Vietnam War soundtracks. I was born way after the Vietnam War, but a lot of my friends dads, teachers and mentors fought in Vietnam. CCR is definitely part of that wars soundtrack.
