Proud Mary - Tina Turner & Ike Turner - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Originally written by John Fogerty and recorded by his band, US rockers Creedence Clearwater Revival, in 1968, "Proud Mary" was covered by Ike & Tina Turner in 1971 who breathed soul and fire into the blistering rock 'n' roll hit. Featuring a spoken intro from Tina Turner, this explosive and energetic new arrangement became a signature tune for Tina Turner, and earned her the Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group in 1972. The rootsy and rollicking hit, which depicts the titular steamboat rolling down the river, is brought to life in its chorus, "Big wheel keep on turning / Proud Mary keep on burning," through which Tina Turner channels a deep soul aesthetic. Tina & Ike Turner landed a Top 5 hit for "Proud Mary," and the song has been covered by many artists including Solomon Burke and the Checkmates Ltd, Beyoncé, Leonard Nimoy and Elvis Presley.
