I know this song has been recorded by a number of performers

But I really like this stripped down version showcasing Joe Cocker’s raspy bluesy vocals.

1. If memory serves, it's a Creedence song ... that could've been a cover I suppose ...

But that was for sure the first version I ever heard.

This is a great cover though

2. Yes. From the Cosmo's Factory LP.

I bought that LP when it was first released, when I was in the ninth grade. Always loved this song, especially the sax solo on the Creedence version.

On edit: Upon checking Wikipedia, I'm surprised to learn that it was John Fogerty who played the sax solo. Quite a talented guy.

5. I have a vivid memory of myself, circa 1st grade, sitting in the living room on the shag carpet

with my stepdad's Koss headphones on, listening to that album after school.

I started with it on the speakers but then mom came in cause I had it blaring Looking out My Back Door a bit too loud, and she made me put on the headphones.

It was I think 1972.

3. Yep you're right

And Fogerty does a mighty fine job of it as well. Looked it up on Google, he wrote the song.
