Proud Mary (John Fogerty / Tina Turner - Cover) by 8 year old Dominique Dy at the Kentucky Opry Talent Search on 05/08/2010."Proud Mary" is a song written by American singer and guitarist John Fogerty. It was first recorded by rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (in which Fogerty played lead guitar and sang lead vocals) on the 1969 album Bayou Country. Released as a single in January 1969, it became the band's first top-ten hit on the U.S. Pop chart, peaking at number two,[1] or number one according to some charts.[2] It was the first of five singles that the band released that would reach that peak on the chart, a record for most number-two singles for a group without ever having a number-one song. The song reached number eight in the UK. It was also CCR's first gold single.[3]Stylistically, the song merges elements of several genres, including rock and roll, blues, gospel, and soul. Nevertheless, it contains many of Creedence Clearwater Revival's most characteristic elements, including a repeated guitar riff, "down-home" lyrics, and a guitar solo Fogerty said was influenced by Steve Cropper of Booker T. & the MGs.The second line of the second verse has generated considerable confusion, and can be considered a type of mondegreen. Listeners have variously interpreted it as "pumped a lot of pain" and "pumped a lot of 'pane", referring to propane, which is commonly used as a fuel. The controversy was further fueled by Ike & Tina Turner's cover, in which Tina sings "pumped a lot of 'tane," referring to octane, the grading scale and chemical in gasoline. The author, Fogerty, commented: "Sometimes I write words to songs because they sound cool to sing. Sometimes the listener doesn't understand what I'm singing because I'm dedicated to singing the vowel, having fun with the word sounds coming out of my mouth. 'Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans,' is a good example. I think Tina Turner sang '`tane' instead of 'pain,' as in a contracted form of 'octane'. But I knew what she meant."[citation needed]"Proud Mary" placed #155 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[edit] Cover versions"Proud Mary" has, over the years, been covered by a number of artists, one of the first being by Solomon Burke, and another by Ed Ames on his 1969 Windmills of Your Mind album (RCA Victor LSP 4172). Anthony Armstrong Jones reached #22 on the U.S. country charts in 1969 with a rendition.In 1971, a cover version was released by Ike & Tina Turner that differed greatly from the structure of the original, but is also well known and has become one of Tina's most recognizable signature songs. The Turners' version was substantially rearranged by Soko Richardson[4][5] and Ike Turner. It included a sultry, slow opening and spoken-word intro by Tina Turner, as well as bass backing vocals from Ike. It reached #4 on the pop charts on 27 March 1971, two years to the week after Creedence Clearwater Revival's version was at its peak, and won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group in 1972. The song has since become a staple in all of Tina's live shows, including live duet versions with Beyonce and Cher.Tina Turner later re-recorded the song for the 1993 soundtrack album What's Love Got to Do With It. This version was released as a promotional single issued to radio stations and DJs. Tina's solo version was later included on her 2004 greatest hits album All the Best.When Bruce Springsteen inducted Creedence Clearwater Revival into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, he said proud mary creedence clearwater revival ccr tina turner cover year old dominique dy kentucky opry talent search 2010 ike 70's disco funk soul blues rock rollin rolling the river big wheel keep turning beyonce what's love got to do with it elvis presley american idol glee version concert live girl child sings singer singing show karaoke pinoy asian lyrics instrumental angela basset simply best private dancer movie roll stones nashville tn music city usa gogo boots seen rain saturday night fever Up in my studio "up in my studio" ameirca's got talent "america's got talent" nick cannon canon
