Released in 1969, "Proud Mary" is a classic rock song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, written by frontman John Fogerty. The song's iconic narrative about leaving a good job and rolling down the river became a massive hit, showcasing the band's distinctive "swamp rock" sound. On the charts, the single was a huge success, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It was the first of five singles by the band to reach that position without ever hitting number one. "Proud Mary" also performed well internationally, reaching number 8 on the UK Singles Chart and topping the charts in Austria, South Africa, and Yugoslavia.
