CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL I PUT A SPELL ON YOU REACTION - Best version of the covers for me! 

The legendary John Fogerty is the singer. He remains one of rock’s best and is one of the finest songwriters of the 20th Century. You can’t go wrong exploring the catalog of Creedence Clearwater Revival, they have as many top ten hits in their four years as any band together that small amount of time. Screamin’ Jay Hawkins set a high bar with this classic, however the CCR interpretation if a magnificent tribute that has stood the test of time like the Hawkins original!

CCR's version of I Heard It Through the Grapevine is unreal! All the things you love Harri. Make sure it's the long version....you won't be sorry.

What your watching is what I saw live at Woodstock.. That is why it's so dark.. I was blessed to have grown up in era of the most gifted song writers, singers, musicians and performers that ever lived.

CCR studio versions have a similar vibe to their live sets. “Proud Mary” in its original CCR version as written by Fogerty, “Born on the Bayou”, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”, “Bad Moon Rising”, “Travelin’ Band”, “Who’ll stop the Rain”, “Lookin’ Out My Back Door”, “Midnight Special”, “Lodi”, & “Fortunate Son” represent a cross-section of CCR hits, and are worth experiencing. Another fine reaction! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

The "Suzie Q", of course. The longer (album), studio version.

The one and only John Fogarty on vocals!

My favorite song by CCR is "Down on the Corner." One time my one-year-old daughter walks into the bedroom with just a diaper. She hears the song on radio, puts her hands in the air and starts dancing. Man that was so cool!

After The Beatles, they were on top of the world (for a very short time: still 7 albums)

CCR is one of the most soulful rocking band. All there hits are bangers. They are from the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

This is by far the best version of the song done by CCR with John Fogerty on vocals from I believe 1969. Legendary! Try Born On The Bayou, Fortunate Son, Proud Mary etc etc. good choice Harri

CCR does a fantastic version of Heard it through the Grapevine! Suzy Q, Bad Moon Rising, Down on the Corner, Fortunate Son… All top notch 🤟🏻✌🏻

Creedence is an amazing band. John Fogerty has both a distinctive voice and distinctive guitar style and they do so many great songs.

If you want to hear them do another great cover, they do an incredible version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

CCR have many many great tunes - "Proud Mary " " Born on the Bayou " ( both studio versions ) are my sincere requests.

John Fogerty is amazing singer songwriter producer extraordinaire! His vocals on this cover of the classic I Put A Spell on You are amazing! Love it! ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦

John Fogerty is one of those few singers that as soon as you hear him utter the very first word you know who he is.

"someday never comes " ,wasn't a big hit but is my favorite ccr song

Most people don't realize that this song is a true spell. It's called sound-magic, is the use of frequency from the instruments and the vogals. One can feel physical effect, the trippy intense sound tosses you up, up, up, then brings you down and cuddles you like a baby, huuuuu, huuuuum... and almost puts you in trance, then awakes you and tosses you around. His voice with eco, accentuates the vogals. There, you got a spell, draws you in, gives goosebumps, never to be forgotten. This soud-magic was used widely in relegious ceremonies in ancient times and even today. The frequency resonates inside your body and creates a "memory".

Lead singer and guitarist, John Fogerty, still tours today. He is a legend. He wrote nearly all of CCRs hits, other than their covers.

John Fogerty singer, lead guitarist and song writer his brother Tom on rhythmic guitar, Stu Cook on bass and Rick Sutcliff on drums they have about 40 super tunes!

They do an 11 minute cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine that is fire. The guitarists are brothers, John and Tom Fogerty. John is the singer. Also, Stu Cook on bass and Doug Clifford on drums.

Hit after hit with this band Harri, and in Fogerty one of the great rock song writers and singers, played a mean guiatar as well - unreal. Really tight unit as a band and this is an electrifying performance.

I've heard many cover versions of "I Put a Spell On You" by various artists, and I agree, CCR did it best. But to me, Hawkins' original recording will always be #1 - the measuring stick.

I'm a souther girl, big fan of southern rock and blues all my long life. And it has always amazed me how this northern California band manages to sound like they are straight out of the Gulf Coast. Love them.

Just awesome. His voice is perfect for this song. Thanks for sharing. Much love and respect from Baltimore as always.

When I was in first grade I heard my first CCR song playing on a radio somewhere in the school building. It was probably just released and climbing the charts. On another note, I miss my childhood.

Two more you really need to do. "Run Through The Jungle ", and "Born On The Bayou ". Both will run chills up your spine.

This is the only version I ever knew until recently. The magic of the internet is a wonderful thing!

The first Rock concert I ever went to, was as a 14 year old kid in Seattle, in 1971, and I saw Credence at The Seattle Center Coliseum. Yes they played this song too. It was unbelievable. I went to many concerts of Rock Bands after that. Thanks

Through CCR, I discovered Screamin' Jay Hawkins original, which is mind blowing, but I think this version is equally good, in it's own way!

Harri, CCR had soooo many hits. John Fogerty is a giant among rock musicians. Check out Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, Lookin' Out My Back Door. Just for starters. There are so many CCR songs worth listening to!

Sounds like you’ve heard the original from Screaming Jay Hawkins. When I heard John and CCR version I was hooked. Saw Jay do this when I was a kid on Merv Griffin and Johnny Carson shows in the 60’s. Then my grandmother got me my first CCR album for Christmas in 69. Thanks grandma.. I still remember and miss you.

Start with the probably most famous song of them......Proud Mary......

All of the old music is made with no autotune. The musitions actually played their instraments

CCR ARE LEGEND! Dive into their catalog.

Creedence Clearwater Revival is a treasure trove of great songs, especially the original PROUD MARY, Born on the Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son ....

Careful Harri. This may be the deepest rabbit hole yet. I don't think John Fogerty ever did a bad song. Even without the music the band's history is worth exploring.

I completely enjoy watching listeners have the same reaction as I did the first time I listened to this on headphones in Da Nang Vietnam 1968.

I'm listening to music 60 years CCR is my favorite group. Also this is probably my favorite song of theirs, had probably a dozen hit songs. Some are Fortunate Son, Up around the Bend, Traveling Band. Lead singer John Fogerty was touring before the pandemic, probably will return. The Doors, Cream and Three Dog Night would be worth reacting to.

Long as I can see the light Commotion Who’ll stop the rain Sweet hitchhiker Ramble Tamble All of these songs with the exception of who’ll stop the rain are highly underrated and almost no one reacts to them! I prefer studio versions but they sounded amazing live as well

I'm absolutely 100% agree with you...! The Best cover...!!! They have sooo many great songs/hits.....

John Fogarty is a legend that was betrayed by his brother, bandmates and especially his record label. Also the best swamp rock sounding band from San Francisco

I was 15 when this was released so I would say this was my era. CCR, Joplin, Hendrix and so many other fantastic bands of the time. What a way to grow up.

This is the only song and version I choose to learn to play my '50's shell pink guitar, and on stage to achieve my goal of learning to play guitar before the age of 60. I played rhythm, my nephew played drums, my cousin played base, and his son lead guitar. We had a blast.

I remember when this album came out, my mom brought it home and played it on our big RCA console stereo, I sat there in wonder on the floor in front of those big speakers and soaked in every note.

Best CCR Video - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bootleg (Music Video) Best CCR Jam - "Keep On Chooglin" - Creedence Clearwater Revival LIVE in Oakland, CA January 1970

Best version🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

definitely the best version of this song... the music definitely fits the mood of "putting a spell..." john's vocals are great... the solo is amazing...

You should hear their Heard It Through the Grapevine and Proud Mary!

Walking on the water Suzy Q long version Green river Born on the bayou live at Woodstock Run through the jungle. Have you ever seen the rain

Best version of this song ever. PERIOD ..John is not only the lead singer but the lead guitarist too.❤❤❤❤

Agreed. This is one of my favorite CCR songs.

1968. Woodstock. The guitars are yummy!

The added touch of the guitar feedback sounding a bit spooky was very nice.

i would suggest their “have you ever seen the rain” “proud mary” “i heard it through the grapevine(short version)” or honestly any of their fantastic work. glad you finally got to this band

Harri, yes, you are right, there are several videos of Screaming Jay Hawkins on stage doing this live with the coffin. They are great. The best one that I recommend would be the video, "Screamin' Jay Hawkins on Arsenio Hall with Emo Philips" And there's a hilarious part in there where he almost catches the piano on fire! Lol. Its funny as hell what he does and how the crowd and the band starts laughing.

This was at Woodstock I think it was the 60s and Arlo Guthrie said if you remember the 60s you weren't there but CCR was one of the greatest bands of the time's

Born on the bayou. It is special.

Always enjoy listening to CCR.

one more time! encore!

I was separated from my mother when I was 3. We were reunited when I was 27. Turns out we were both big fans of CCR, so not only do I love them as a band, they also hold special significance for me. Thank you for the reaction,

CCR is phenomenal. I don't think I'll need to make any specific song recommendations: You'll get quite a few.

Yes CCR.. Thanks , Please do Down on the Corner, Born on the bayou and Looking Out my Back Door, Midnight Special and Sweet Hitch Hiker and Up Around the Bend , Jambalaya and Centerfield. And Fortunate Son and Traveling Band..and .Proud Marry !!

1st Creedence song??? There could/should be 40 more to follow!

Welcome to the CCR rabbit hole. So much great material to react to! Some suggestions- I suggest the studio version of all of these: Bad Moon Rising Down on the Corner Who'll Stop the Rain Have You Ever Seen the Rain Up Around the Bend Fortunate Son Travellin' Band Proud Mary Susie Q Midnight Special Green River Run Through the Jungle Lookin' Out My Back Door Enjoy the ride, my friend!

Harri Thank You! Your the Best no Pun intended, 🤔🎸🎼🎶👌

Best song ever CCR❤

Keep riding this train Harri. Suzy Q, Born on a Bayou, Green River, Fortunate Son ... So many incredible songs.

CCR are the shit. John Fogerty is amazing. Love this band. Best cover of it, in my opinion.

This has been my favorite of some 200 covers of this song until I heard Angelina Jordan sing it just after her 9th birthday. Now hers is my favorite, but I still love this one.

Very intense and powerful, one of my favorites for sure!

This is my second favorite version behind Angelina and I was around when this version came out!! 😎😎😎😎

Harri, from C.C.R it's got to be the ultimate Vietnam protest song FORTUNATE SON. Take care kid and cheerio from Glasgow.

Nice take Harri...John was/is a very good guitarist in his own right...a livin dynamo!

So Creeedence covered this Screaming Jay Hawkins classic and then Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" making them totally their own. Then, good sir, they went full circle and wrote the stone classic "Proud Mary" that The Ike & Tina Turner Revue went and turned into a Soul Classic. You need to check out both versions! "Ah oot woot woot woot! Ah oot woot woot woot!

Stu Cook is a very underrated bass player, he made CCR songs better.

Agree. Best version.

Was never much a fan of this song but played like this be these guys, i love it!

One of the best bands of all time.

I have heard it many times but Got goosebumps listening to this today

Forgot how much I loved CCR !! Ages ago for me.. Thanks Harri :)

John Fogerty and his kids did some great videos during Covid-19 lockdown, you should check them out, also. Great reaction, Harri, thank you. I vote for I Heard It Through the Grapevine (long version) and Born on the Bayou, also Proud Mary. ☮️🖤🤟

It was live in Woodstock listen to creedence

John Fogerty, Lead singer, went on to have a long successful career after CCR. Check out his song "Centerfield". Do the video with the black and white baseball video footage.

Harri this is an iconic group one of a kind! A seriously long playlist with many top ten hits of late 60’s through the 70’s. You will be impressed with their capabilities too For another famous redo of a classic try I Heard it Through the Grapevine a Marvin Gaye song. Please be sure to select the long version about 11-12 minutes. It’s is a true jam with all the funk you can stand and then some!!! This group is a serious top ten band contender of all time……they are that Good!

Now listen to him and Bob Seger do Who'll Stop the Rain.

majik ty amen

Keep on Chooglin' CCR #nuffsaid

They're taking you to a climax.

My favorite version of this song

CCR won't let you down.

You must react to "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" (the long version only) (it's 11 minutes long) by Creedence Clearwater.

Wow wow wow... never heard a ccr song i didn't want to dance to....

No one can top CCR for pure rock and roll.

ALL OF THEM!!!

I've heard some pretty good guitarists try and fail on the big riff in "Up Around the Bend."

Saw them in the 70s at Pine Knob in Michigan. Their great.

Heard it thru the grapevine is a must listen for you. Bad moon rising and proud Mary are two of my favorites by Credence. Enjoy, Fortunate Son and Run through the Jungle have a message!

Harri, these guys are from Marin County, San Francisco Bay Area. We have a lot of excellent Musicians come out of here. CCR, Santana, Janis Joplin, Doobie Brothers, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Journey, Country Joe & the Fish, ….Oh yeah, Johnny Mathis!…SanJoséBob

CCR - yay!! Thanks for this one. Hey Harri, not sure how you relax in a room that colour!
