An infobox for the 1971 Ike and Tina Turner version of "Proud Mary" was requested at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/List_of_notable_songs/10.
The CCR version never made the Top 20, Ike and Tina Turner's version made it to # 2 and won a Grammy Award (1993 Book - Encyclopedia of Rock Stars). The website referenced is incorrect which happens a lot when items are being transferred to the internet. John (CCR) was also the opening act for Tina Turner during the European leg of her 1997 Wildest Dreams World Tour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.60.225.31 ( talk) 07:09, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Why does the section for the recent use in an AA advert link to the company website? Shouldn't it link to the wikipedia page for the company?

If somebody wants to know this: Left a good job in the city, Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day, And I never lost one minute of sleepin', Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been. CHORUS: Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin', Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans, But I never saw the good side of the city, 'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen. CHORUS Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
If you come down to the river, Bet you gonna find some people who live. You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money, People on the river are happy to give. CHORUS Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river. -- FK1954 ( talk) 20:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
"Proud Mary" was blocked from #1 for the week ending 8 March 1969 by Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People" and for the weeks ending 15-22 March 1969 by Tommy Roe's "Dizzy". 98.149.97.245 ( talk) 14:03, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
As long as the article contained a partial claim about those other songs, it remained relevant to contain the complete claim about those other songs instead. 98.149.97.245 ( talk) 14:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
This page, like the pages for many other songs, links to MetroLyrics. However, apparently MetroLyrics no longer exists. So this is not so much a HEADS UP to someone who could replace the link on this page (I could do that myself), but more to someone who knows how to replace/rewrite/remove links throughout Wikipedia.

I am still working on this, but current text says
It was released by Fantasy Records as a single from the band's second studio album, Bayou Country, which was issued by the same record company and is generally considered to have been released in early January 1969, although one source states that it came out just before Christmas 1968.
I want to edit the "same record company" line, snd update the rest, but not without good reasons. Discogs has December 1968. that is their guess. I found a full page advert in Dec 28 1968 Record World that says "PROUD MARY is a-Comin'!". The steamboat or release of the record? I am going to post it as the article pic to see how it looks, if you guys don't like it, revert me in a couple of days. It's a song picture from Fantasy records instead of the usual band picture, please leave it for two days then change it back if it sucks. Remember the date was Dec 28.

Despite the article's reference, 9 January 1969 cannot possibly be the release date. Among other reasons:
(1) on the 11 January issue of Billboard, the record "Bubbled Under" at 115, under that week's Hot 100, and because Billboard deadlines were more than a week before publication dates back then, the record must have been released more than a week before 11 January 1969 (2) the 4 January 1969 issue of Billboard had a review of the record, and the 4 January 1969 issue of Cash Box mentioned the record, meaning that the record must have been released before 4 January 1969 (3) the 28 December 1968 issue of Record World had an advertisement for the record, meaning that the record must have been released before 28 December 1968 (4) the Grammy Hall of Fame Award Recipients article in Wikipedia lists a 1968 release date 98.149.97.245 ( talk) 21:19, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
