Airdate: September 20, 1969 Is anything cooler than CCR in 1969…. or anytime There‘s a nice group of long-time regulars dancing together among all the new faces here in ‘69. At the beginning of “Cross-Tie Walker” you can see the backs of Don Sanuskar and Frank Vanderpuil (in the sport coat) dancing with Karen Sudlow and Robbin Miller respectively, with Roni Menacker to our left and also seen at 0:14. Although Solomon Burke’s 1969 cover of “Proud Mary” wasn’t nearly as popular as CCR’s, it may have been on Dick Clark‘s mind as Solomon sang it on Bandstand just 4 months ago back on May 24th. “Proud Mary” is one of the 5 CCR songs that peaked at #2 (they never had a #1 song on Billboard), doing so back in March. “Cross-Tie Walker” is one of the tracks on CCR’s new album “Green River”. The album also features the songs “Green River”, “Lodi”, “Commotion” and “Bad Moon Rising”. My favorite CCR song is “Looking Out My Backdoor”. What’s yours In movie news - the highest grossing film of 1969, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” will premiere in 3 days on Sept. 23. I hope the blues they send to meet you won’t defeat you. It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet you…. hopefully sooner than later! Thank you for watching and thank you for helping your neighbors during these trying times by wearing a mask and distancing. Peace & Love
