Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary (REACTION) with my wife

I think that Creedence Clearwater Revival's music is making you two honorary Americans. Come on over here!

Proud Mary is the name of a double decked riverboat with a big cylinder type paddle in the back traveling down the Mississippi river.

Proud Mary established John Fogarty as a world-class songwriter. What a great song it is. People will be singing it 100 years from now. As a reserved New Englander I was astonished at the warmth of the people in the deep South. They were often poor as dirt but they would always welcome me into their homes to have dinner with them and to worship with them - "People on the river are happy to give."

I enjoy watching the reactors to music on YouTube. This married couple is so honest & sincere with their reactions. I'm a 78 year old man with a lot of music background,but after watching the response from this couple after watching Mike & the Mechanics song( In The Living Years) I believe his feelings were genuine and spontaneous.More love to people like them

You two would be right at home in the U.S.A. I live in Ohio. You are already Americans in your heart so pack up and come on over. Happy to have you!

One of the best songs to listen to whilst driving your car!

I live in East Texas. We also have bayous being next door to Louisiana. there is a culture of people that live on the rivers in the swamps and on the lakes that are very giving people. they are always willing to help. here in my area is much the same. mostly lower middle class and poor people but willing to help others. it is quite different in the larger city. I love to watch you guys react. Have a Blessed Day!!!!

‘Favorite Son’ and ‘Runnin’ Through The Jungle’ are two CCR’s Vietnam war era songs that speak to the tragedy of that war!

Possibly the greatest American rock band, certainly in the top 10. John Fogarty is one of the greatest all around talents in rock history. Thanks for another very enjoyable reaction. You guys are a gift!

Glad that through all the bad images, that you are finding the good in my country. Very many good people. I think this platform has been a great way to bring people together who don't get to see the good. Music is magical and healing and a true language of peace.

I’m glad you two are enjoying John Fogerty and Creedence. They were my musical heroes growing up. I’d go to bed every night with headphones on and a CCR cassette in my little cassette player. The headphones helped me hear all the little clever musical touches John would add to the songs to make them perfectly pleasing to the ear. I’m glad also that you folks are picking up on the snap shot of America John painted into so many of his songs. He was somehow able to walk that fine line between criticizing some of our political leaders, and absolutely loving our citizens, country, and ideals. Even when he was very displeased with say, unfairness, (Fortunate Son) you knew he was shouting about it because he loves our country too. Because of that genuine touch, everybody loved those songs, even the people being criticized. So, I’m happy for you two discovering the music of CCR. And I hope you do get to come to America sometime, and see the country. There’s a lot of truth to John saying “people on the river are happy to give”. That’s true of most Americans. We do have some boneheads here for sure, and we are far from perfect, and we seem to be very divided politically right now, but I think that’s more the internet than what you see when 30,000 of us are all together at a baseball game or a concert. We are way more together with each other than our two stupid political parties would make you believe. For more of John’s America, try “Down on the Corner” and “Up Around the Bend”. But their best song ever may be “Long As I Can See the Light”. And that’s John playing the sax. Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep discovering all this great music out there. I enjoy making the journey with you. It’s a good one.

Another great reaction! I swear...watching you folks be exposed to these classics and your enjoyment causes me to feel like i am experiencing it for the first time.

Big Wheels keep on Toinin, Proud Mary keeps on Boinin, Johns accent is amazing on this one.

Welcome to CCR's America

U guys ROCK!!!😁👍❤❤✌️

Another great reaction. BTW, This band is from El Cerrito, California across the bay from San Francisco. Your enthusiasm for this type of music is contagious.

I enjoy your videos so much and I am quite delighted at your appreciation of the wonderful music from the 60’s and 70’s when I was growing up. I didn’t realize, until later, how fortunate we were to have so many prolific singer/songwriters to enjoy. Creedence Clearwater Revival (featuring John Fogarty) is s perfect example of this! There’s a great deal of “feel good” music and you two are perfect for me to sit with and relive the best of the best. Thanks for letting me hang out with you. 🌺✌️

One of CCR many big hits. #2 in the USA and #1 here in Canada 🇨🇦❤❤

The lyric should be "pumped a lot of 'pane" (pane is short for propane). You've got to go down to the bayou.

No other band captured the spirit of America better than Creedence did. So many of their songs paint vignettes of little slices of American life. Sometimes those vignettes were a kind of homage to a nostalgic past, like this one or "Down on the Corner", other times they're about darker aspects, like "Fortunate Son" but they were spot-on every time. And they do all this with such an enjoyable sound. It's impossible to not feel better when Creedence is playing. They couldn't miss for almost their entire run, bullseye after bullseye. You really should react to every song in their catalog. Please do "Penthouse Pauper" for a nice change of pace.
