For all those who do not know. In this song. “Willy”-is John Fogerty. “Blinky” is Stu. “Poorboy”-is Tom. And Doug is “Rooster.” Just a fact. John wrote this song with the guys in his mind. So beautiful.
I mean country music let's sing about are crappie lives, rap and pop let's sing about other people's crappie lives. Hip-hop just sounds like dance music with crappie lyrics.
I know nobody will read this but, My grandfather only listened to two artists my whole childhood, CCR and Johnny Cash. Having a bad day I can always count on either of them to always cheer me up. RIP grandpa I love you!
When my daughter heard this song for the first time, she was 3 months old. Now she is 3.5 years and she still adores this song. She starts to smile and dance right away :) My parents tell me that I loved this song when I was a little girl too :)
So nice I am danish and I been in love since my teenage year whit CCR. every time that my life is up the hill as we say in DK Then I listen to CCR. Quick I am back again in good vipes. Whit love..

Used to dance on roller skates to this song! Good ol days. Met my hubby there at the rink. He worked at the rink then putting 45s on the player all night. He'd skate by me until each song was nearly done then skate fast up to the stage, hop up and put on the next record. We just celebrated 40 yrs of marriage this summer.
Me and my grandpa were trying to figure out what modern music he likes, because when I asked him what his favorite genre was other than classical he said comedy musical (Oklahoma soundtrack lol). I played this for him and he said “yeah, that’s fun, I’d listen to that” I started singing the lyrics and he was smiling at me. Just wanted to share because I enjoyed.
I was 9yo when dad brought willy and the poorboys home, it was made in sweden by Liberty Records, very sanded. It was down in Moscow, 1989. When I saw the cover, I asked dad "pa, it is a lot similar to our village, look, kids and traffic light and garbage" I keep it till now, as I became grownup, do my own piano music. Thank you, Creedence Clearwater Revival

One of the great things about CCR is they had fantastic dance music. Even with a lazy crowd it was impossible to not get out on the dance floor, even people who couldn't dance a lick was out there trying. Very few bands could do that sort of thing.
do you know what SLAM dance is? the punk rockers do that. Well, back when I was 5 yrs old is back when I first heard CCR. The song was Travelin Band, and I just started slam sanding. I locked myself in a corner and punched and kicked like if I was fighting someone. CCR lit me up!!!
From my earliest teen years, I was a huge fan of CCR. My dad loved CCR, he'd come into my room and sit down whenever I had a CCR LP on and just smile. He called the song Bad Moon Rising....Dakota Moon Rising. He loved that song and mentioned it reminded him of growing up on the Great Northern Plains of North Dakota. He had great tales, western tales of growing up in the Depression near Painted Woods where he was born on the Missouri River. Special times with Lindy as his friends called him, he resembled Charles Lindbergh and had been a B-17 pilot in the war. In the early 2000s, I moved our studio from San Francisco to West Oakland. It was time to leave the city and find an open urban area to find a big warehouse and convert it into a proper studio. I did that and settled in nicely. A was a different environment for me and at the time not much around, no cafes, bars etc. like I was used to in SOMA. West Oakland was a tougher area then and that went with this kind of Light Industrial Manufacturing area. During the war, this was the home of the many Oakland Port workers keeping the sea filled with cargo ships loaded with supplies, heading to the Far Pacific. So you had to ride a bike or drive maybe a mile or so to get to what I called civilization. Heading down my street on Peralta Street one early morning heading to Emeryville to meet a friend for coffee I stopped at the light at the corner of Peralta and Hollis. No one was around, no cars behind me or in front, just me and the quiet of the foggy morning. Still needing coffee, I was in a bit of a haze. Staring around I glanced over to my left. I focused on the corner store and was stunned to see a vision from the past, something was unfolding in my mind and it was real, The Duck Kee Market in all its glory right there. Okay maybe that is not a familiar name to everyone here, but for me, it was a stunning moment of realization. I just smiled and pulled over to the curb. I got out of the car and there I was standing smack dab where the 4 boys of CCR were standing in 1969 playing their instruments for a photo shoot for the cover of the LP 'Willy and the Poor Boys.' I really could not believe this was where they shot those photos. I knew The Fogerty Brothers and Band came from El Cerrito, a few towns north of Oakland and Berkeley. Just a couple miles from where I was standing was Fantasy Studio in Berkeley where they recorded all their LPs. I suspect as a teen I thought the Duck Kee Market was in New Orleans, but no, in West Oakland and still there. Over the years I drove by and occasionally went in and bought a six-pack or something. Unfortunately, within a couple of years, it closed, and boarded up but the sign was still there. I told some friends about the sign, artist friends, and folk like me who had big warehouse work studios. I enjoyed driving by over the next year or so and seeing the Duck Kee Market sign. Then one day I drove by and the sign was gone. It was startling and kind of sad. Of course, I thought, shoot, I should have grabbed it. As it turned out a few weeks later I found out who did. Walking up a flight of stairs into a huge open warehouse painting studio, in the corner a friend had set up an old bar and was where folk congregated and had an afternoon beer. Above the bar lit beautifully was the Duck Kee Market sign. My buddy smiled as I stared at it. Snooze and you lose, he jokingly said. I thought it brilliant and we had a beer and toasted the Duck Kee and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
I live on the outskirts of a massive city. We get 100's of applications and I'm not exaggerating 0 of them ever show up for interviews because why work when big daddy gov't can send them checks? They only do that so that they can show the gov't that they "tried" to find work because that's one of the requirements to get paid. There's work literally everywhere.
You were born in the right generation , people that survived the Great Depression, and fought in the second World war. It is because of your generation than entertainment, and opportunities opened for my generation. You are the foundation On which our good times were built. I thank you, and good luck to the next generation who may be called upon, to pay the price, once again.
Beautiful, Amazing, Classic...Old time Rock and Roll that.. Never goes out of Style... Thank you CCR and thank you John for continuing to bring it to us All... Into the 2020s !!!👍🎸😎
Glad my dad raised me on this stuff, instead of people mumbling about sex, drugs and shooting people while a trap beat melody plays. God save the rest of my generation.
My Dad bought me my first record player when I was 5 years old (1970) he would let me play some of his records on it and this song was probably my favourite. Always loved CCR and I got that love from my Dad!!
Great band - wide variety of music came out of this band mid.sixties, making my early teenage years - always think & listen to them with such fondness while making me grin. To coin with a phrase,Just Far Out! Jane Russell
Winter Marie I was a Pisces born to like music starting with Partridge Family 1970-1974 Pisces also means Im a Friendly person. My sister took me to Led Zeppelin concert at 12 years old with 75,000 fans. She bought me a beer I said why not. Buffalo, NY had 10 years of concerts 4 every summer at Bills Stadium in 70s. The Producers got some big bands Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Aerosmith, Journy, Reo Speedwagon, The Who, The Clash, Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers, they even got Lynyrd Skynyrd. Country singer Alan Jackson. Some kind of trend started most bands opened saying HELLO BUFFALO. Sucks lived my whole life with my IRISH Feckels on my face. Proud IRISH AMERICAN. Be carefull of us IRISH when we die we come back as Vampires, joking that's an IRISH MYTH, just like Boys don't like Red Hair IRISH Girls. We do have some funny sayings IRISH EYES ARE SMILING, KISS ME IM IRISH, Theres a Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow. Freckels in IRELAND are called ANGEL KISSES. Us IRISH don't just have Freckels on our face our entire body has them. 1 thing we have to worry about IRISH Skin burns easily in the sun. RIP DAVID CASSIDY
My mother thought only drug users liked snakes! She thought it was not right for me to like drawing them, My father would have me listen to classical music, anything else was' beneath him' - both his ex-wives were country fans!
I am 31, I am happy to have grown up with my parents (both born in the 50s) listening to this music and much much more. There is good music today too, but some of the older stuff just has that oomph that today's music doesn't have.
Lookin Out My Backdoor is my favorite from CCR. I was riding in a 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport Coupe classic ride when I first heard it on WAKY Radio in Louisville, KY. Pontiac the Mark of Great Cars GTO, LeMans, Tempest, Custom S, GM A bodies the best 455 ,428, 421,400, 350, 326 ci engines of all time. Pontiac and CCR music on the radio paradise cruising in your car to impress sexy pretty Girls to look your way for a possible date. Ah Fountain of Youth !
opinion inc you bet yer bollocks I do!!! 6,122 singles... 4,481 albums and 428 12in singles... I know em all... I love em all... like a huge musical photo album to my life. Best wishes from England 😊
When I was a lil girl we would go see my Aunt's in Louisiana and always listened to CCR. I cherish those memories. My mother and I still listen to them. When my father passed away I can still listen to them and it always makes me smile ❤
i've been singing this song for decades, and as it turns out i didn't know any of the words. lol. i'll still sing it wrong until the day i die. "down on the corner, there's a party in the street. well, those old boys a-playing, singing they can't be beat."
In 1978 I travelled from Australia to San Fransisco. First stop across the Bay Bridge to Oakland and found "The Corner". Its at the intersection of Peralta Street and 32nd Street. There it was in all its glory - The Duck Kee Market. Looks big on the cover but just a small corner store. Sadly Willy and the Poorboys nowhere in sight. They have transformed it into a condo sometime ago. :(
The music of John Fogerty and C.CR could give the best high with no substance abuse. Other songs they released could touch to the very depths of your heart and soul. Thanks guys.
Bruh im 23 and i know like 75% of the songs lmao. My dad was born in mexico year 1977 and my mom born in usa raised in mexico year 1982 but my mom showed me these songs lmao 🤷♂️ just glad i know em theyre good songs
Ich weis nicht warum aber als älterer Mann und Generation kann ich nur Sagen wenn es mir einmal nicht so gut geht höre ich mir CCR an. Fühle mich danach an als ob ich mich von alter her gesehen noch in meiner Jahre vor 50 Jahren befinde. CCR ist nicht nur Musik sondern auch Balsam für die Seele.
