The number was arranged from parts of different songs, one of which was about a "washerwoman named Mary." The line "rollin' on the river" was from a movie by Will Rogers about the old paddle wheelers although he didn't recall it at the time when he was doing the part (Joel Selvin, Liner notes for the 40th Anniversary Edition of Bayou Country, 2008). He wrote the rest of "Proud Mary" within the following week and a half. He then went right in the house and came up with the first line ("left a good job in the city").

After reading the letter, he went onto a little patch of grass in front of the apartment house and did a couple of cartwheels. At the time he thought maybe it was a domestic maid who worked for some rich people and she's wearing a little white uniform (Tom Pinnock, John Fogerty's guide to Creedence Clearwater Revial, The Uncut, August 10th, 2012).įogerty was still in the Army Reserve, when in mid-July 1968, he received his honorable discharge from the United States Army. The very first title he wrote in it was “Proud Mary”. After the Army Service, John Fogerty bought a little empty notebook at his local drugstore. The genesis of “Proud Mary” dates back in summer 1967. It was the first of the band's five singles that ended up at #2, and was the first million selling single for the group. “Proud Mary” peaked at #2 in the USA, #8 in the UK, #4 in Germany and #11 in the Netherlands. After cutting the single " Bad Moon Rising" backed with " Lodi", the band recorded the following releases at Wally Heider Recording in San Francisco until June 1971. The Bayou Country sessions in October 1968 were the first Creedence Clearwater held at RCA. The single was recorded at RCA Studios in Los Angeles with engineer Hank McGill. “Born on the Bayou” was going to be the first original single of the band, but radio went with “Proud Mary”. Between the iconic guitar licks you expect and some surprising and interactive theatrical elements, you’re sure to be on your feet, grooving and belting along to every song.“Proud Mary”, backed with “Born on the Bayou”, was the first 45 rpm single Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1969.
