"Shuffle off to Buffalo, Sit by the Lake watch the world go by". This guy wrote some of the best rock and roll EVER. Phenomenal songwriter, musician, vocalist, and MAN.

When I was very young, 2, maybe 3, John Fogerty's voice was ringing out through my dads Sansui speakers, played from reel to reel, belting out CCR tunes. Indelibly marked on my soul for all time. I cannot hear his voice without tearing back through time, back to innocence and happiness undimmed by age or experience. I'm not sorry about the time that's passed. But I do wish there'd been more songs like this between then and now.
Awww dude I was born in ‘82, I listened to this driving out to the lake with my dad in his ‘81 Ford F-150 from day one. Still smell the pines when we crossed the boarder. Cheers!
Still remember my dad’s 45 of “hey tonight”. Had no idea who it was, but I loved listening to it. Even when I was about 5, I knew there was something special about this guy!
I heard this while I was grocery shopping and I was like “what’s the name this is really good” I found out the name and this has bein on my replay list for a good few days John is a fantastic singer
I remember year 86. In the mili in Cádiz. San Fernando. The Marina. Lying down listening to this beautiful song. What memories.... ❤️🇪🇦❤️🇪🇦❤️🇪🇦😃😃😃😘😘😘☺️
I do have one beef with John Fogerty. I saw him play in Asheville NC in November of 2004. I was near the front screaming at the top of my lungs for him to play this song and he did not. Mr.Fogerty you owe me.
From the album "Centerfield", 1985 Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo, The trick is to ride and make it to the bell. But there is a place, sweet as you will ever know, In music and love, and things you never tell. You see it in their face, secrets on the telephone, A time out of time, for you and no one else. Chorus: Hey let's go all over the world, Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah! If I had my way, I'd shuffle off to buffalo; Sit by the lake, and watch the world go by. Ladies in the sun, listenin' to the radio, Like flowers on the sand, a rainbow in my mind. Chorus Chorus Chorus Yeah, yeah yeah!
Went to the John Fogerty/John Mellencamp concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 2005. Fogerty opened for Mellencamp. Love both but think it should of been the other way around. At one point during Mellencamps set, John Fogerty joined Mellencamp on stage and both sat side by side playing & singing. After the song, Mellencamp says to Fogerty "Where the hell did you get that amazing voice?" Loved that!
Happy Birthday John Fogerty born on May 28, 1945. He is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. Together with Doug Clifford, Stu Cook, and his brother Tom Fogerty, he founded the band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), for which he was the lead singer, lead guitarist, and principal songwriter. CCR had nine top-10 singles and eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fogerty
One Of My All Time Favorites And From CCR John Fogerty Singing My Favorite Song Rock And Roll Girls Here's To You John Y'all Have Always Been My Favorite Singer Since CCR Thank Y'all Very Much.
When we here in the city of Buffalo heard this song, we cheered "John knows we're on the lake! We love you, too!" It was great to hear a comment about us that wasn't a nasty joke about our winters. John can come by here now and do just that-sit by the lake and watch the world go by. We have fixed it up real nice now! 😎🛥⛵🌞🎶🎷🎸🚣♀
I knew it! I always thought that was Albert Lee back when I first saw this as a teenager in the awesome 80s. Thanks for confirming what I always suspected.
John Fogerty wrote Rock n Roll Girls for his daughter Laurie and her friend. He also wrote Lookin Out My Back Door for his son, Josh. I don't think he ever wrote a song for his other son, Sean (from his first marriage).
que lindo, é muito gratificante ver jonh fogerty, mesmo depois da ERA C.C.REVIVAL, embora sua voz não é mais a mesma, ele continua brilhando, ele veio ao Brasil ano passado que pena foi tão pouco divulgado, ele continua meu grande e amado idolo ah!!!!! que saudade, que tempo lindo, passou como um vento soprando em meu rosto, VIVA LA VIDA..........VIVER É UMA DÁDIVA DE DEUS.....
If I could go "all over the world, rock 'n' roll girls," I'd start with Peru, myryckyz! I'd take this track with me and others by Fogerty. Love how his voice breaks into a bit of falsetto, and the great blast of saxophone is perfect. I met him in 2000 when he ran into a car outside my place, on 16th Ave. South in Nashville (Music Row). Not his best day. Traffic police were over 90 minutes showing up. He was probably glad to move back to Berkeley.
