Originally written by John Fogerty (of Creedence Clearwater Revival) and released as a single in 1969, Tina and her husband took their reworked version of the song to #4 on the Billboard Hot Hundred chart in 1971. It became one of HER signature songs and now is arguably more inextricably associated with her than with Fogerty and his bandmates.
