Came here to say this! John Fogerty’s voice is perfect for this song.

Fogerty's voice is perfect for every song. I love (and hate) how every other band member in CCR wanted to start songwriting and singing in the band, and fogerty reluctantly aquiesed to keep peace, and let it happen. The only good songs on the album were fogerty's and it spelled the end of the band. He WAS Credence Clearwater Revival.

People praise the Beatles, rightfully so, for how many great songs they recorded in such a short time span, but John wrote all the CCR hits in just 3 years. Pretty incredible.

And yeah, I know he didn't actually write the two songs mentioned so far, but still.

If you haven’t already, check out the Netflix doc about their performance at the Royal Albert Hall.

I could not disagree more. I feel like CCR completely missed the emotional power of the original. Their rhythm section was not up to the groove of it at all and Fogerty sounds like he’s doing a bad Howlin’ Wolf impression.

If you like this cover, you should hear the Rolling Stones do “My Girl” that’ll knock your socks off.

Good thing that's just an opinion.

Yes, because there’s no such thing as knowledge, research or facts. Which is also good because that way there’s no such thing as idiots.
