Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Proud Mary hits #2 on the Hot 100 on this date. It stayed at No. 2 for three weeks.
John Fogerty wrote the lyrics based on three song title ideas: Proud Mary, Riverboat, and Rolling On A River. He carried around a notebook with titles that he thought would make good songs, and Proud Mary was at the top of the list.
