Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1969 hit "Proud Mary," written by John Fogerty, is a cornerstone of roots rock that tells a story of escaping city life for freedom on a riverboat. The song is famous for its "Bayou Rock" sound and iconic chorus about rolling on the river. Beyond the original, the song is also famously known for the 1971 high-energy cover by Ike & Tina Turner.
