    The Midnight Special is a classic old song. I started doing it myself on my old guitar in about '65. John Fogerty just happened to do it better than anyone imagined it could be done. He took an old folk song and gave it soul.

    This song is so awesome. It was originally written in 1923. It's about a train called the Midnight Special that passed by the Sugarland Prison in Texas. The prisoners could hear the whistle & horn. If the light of the train as it passed by shone on them, they believed they would be freed. CCR at it's best!!!
  • The midnight special was a train that ran by the Mississippi penitentiary And they would see the light that's freedom

    According to the legend, the Midnight Special was a train that passed by a prison and, if the train’s light shone into a cell, the prisoner would get paroled. That’s the story as I understood it. Feel free to embellish if anyone knows this story. Great choice 🌺✌️
  • Every time I hear this song I think about the old show “Twilight Zone”. It played in an episode of a guy on a airplane who sees a little creepy devil guy trying to burn the plane down. Great show, great tune, the 70’s were the best!!! Great reaction as always!!

    I love this song and I’m so glad you feel them. “Fortunate Son” “Down On The Corner” are another couple y’all might enjoy. 👵🏼☮️❤️🙏🏼
  • This was an old folk song credited to folksinger Leadbelly who served time in prison for murder. The Midnight Special was a train that drove past the prison. If it's light shined in your cell the inmates believed superstitiously that you would be the next one released from prison.

    This was the opening song for The Midnght Special such a great show and wish we had some like that again, they would have all the great music then, this group has the best vibes and tunes
  • OMG Brought me back to my younger days when I HAD THEM Playing on my 8 track in my car.

    It's hard to believe that these guys could put out 3 albums a year with no reduction in quality or creativity. Most artists today can't do 3 albums in 10 years.

    Being a teen in the 1970's, this song always takes me back to the wonderful "Midnight Special" late-night variety show. So glad so many of these performances are on YouTube now!

    Sometimes you just feel it. The voice, the groove, the harmonies are just beyond.

    CCR don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great - "Proud Mary", "Born On The Bayou", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Cotton Fields", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through The Jungle", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "I Put A Spell On You", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.
