[INTRO:]
YOU KNOW, EVERY NOW AND THEN
I THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HEAR SOMETHING FROM US
NICE AND EASY BUT THERE'S JUST ONE THING
YOU SEE, WE NEVER EVER DO NOTHING NICE AND EASY
WE ALWAYS DO IT NICE AND ROUGH
SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE BEGINNING OF THIS SONG
AND DO IT EASY
THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THE FINISH ROUGH
THIS IS THE WAY WE DO 'PROUD MARY'
AND WE'RE ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING ON THE RIVER
LISTEN TO THE STORY

[VERSE 1]
LEFT A GOOD JOB IN THE CITY
WORKING FOR THE MAN EVERY NIGHT AND DAY
AND I NEVER LOST ONE MINUTE OF SLEEPING
WORRYING 'BOUT THE WAY THAT THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN

[CHORUS]
BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
AND WE'RE ROLLING, ROLLING
ROLLING ON THE RIVER

[VERSE 2]
CLEANED A LOT OF PLATES IN MEMPHIS
I PUMPED A LOT OF 'TANE DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
BUT I NEVER SAW THE GOOD SIDE OF THE CITY
UNTIL I HITCHED A RIDE ON THE RIVERBOAT QUEEN

[CHORUS]
BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING
PROUD MARY KEEP ON BURNING
AND WE'RE ROLLING, ROLLING
ROLLING ON THE RIVER

[VERSE 1]
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 2]
[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3:]
IF YOU COME DOWN TO THE RIVER
I BET YOU GOING TO FIND SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IF YOU GOT NO MONEY
PEOPLE ON THE RIVER ARE HAPPY TO GIVE

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]
ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING ON THE RIVER
ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING ON THE RIVER
ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING ON THE RIVER
ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING ON THE RIVER


ABOUT
1 CONTRIBUTOR
“PROUD MARY” IS A COVER OF A ROCK SONG BY CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL RECORDED BY IKE & TINA TURNER IN 1971. DUE TO THE SONG’S NEW ARRANGEMENT, IT BECAME A SIGNATURE SONG FOR TINA TURNER THROUGHOUT HER CAREER. THE NEW ARRANGEMENT FEATURES A SPOKEN INTRO BY TINA WHICH LEADS INTO HER SINGING THE VERSES OVER A SLOW BOILING RHYTHM GUITAR AND HIGH HAT COMBO. IKE COUNTERBALANCES TINA WITH HIS BASS VOCALS. THE SLOW INTRO GIVES WAY TO HORN-DRIVEN UPTEMPO ROCK THAT WOULD SHOW OFF TINA’S ELECTIFYING VOCALS AND HER CHOREOGRAPHY WITH THE IKETTES ON STAGE, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE BECOME ICONIC.

PROUD MARY: THE BEST OF IKE & TINA TURNER FEATURES SOME OF IKE & TINA'S GREATEST HITS FROM THEIR FORMATION IN 1960 UNTIL THEIR SEPARATION IN 1976. THE TRACKS WERE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED ON SUE RECORDS, MINIT RECORDS, LIBERTY RECORDS, AND UNITED ARTISTS RECORDS.[1] DUE TO LICENSE ISSUES, THE VERSION OF "RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH" ON THE ALBUM IS NOT THE ORIGINAL WALL OF SOUND PRODUCTION BY PHIL SPECTOR, IT'S THE RE-RECORDING PRODUCED BY IKE TURNER FROM THE ALBUM NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS. INCLUDED ARE TWO ADDITIONAL AND HIDDEN TRACKS, WHICH ARE RADIO PROMOTIONS FOR THE ALBUM COME TOGETHER.

CRITICAL RECEPTION
REVIEWING PROUD MARY: THE BEST OF IKE & TINA TURNER FOR ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, IRA ROBBINS WROTE:

LONG BEFORE SHE BECAME A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN THE '80S, TINA TURNER EARNED HER PLACE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AS AN INCENDIARY RHYTHM & BLUES BELTER, THE RIVETING CENTERPIECE OF HER HUSBAND IKE’S KINETIC SOUL REVUE. THIS LIMITED COMPILATION OF THE TURNERS' CAREER BEGINS WITH THEIR FIRST SEVEN SINGLES TOGETHER — GUTSY SOUTHERN SOUL STIRRERS RECORDED BETWEEN 1960 AND 1962 — THEN LEAPS TO 1970, WHEN THE DUO CANNILY BEGAN TARGETING THE ROCK AUDIENCE WITH IDIOSYNCRATIC INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BEATLES' "COME TOGETHER" AND CREEDENCE CLEARWATER’S "PROUD MARY." AL QUAGLIERI'S EXEMPLARY LINER NOTES PROVIDE FASCINATING BACKGROUND AND INSIGHT, BUT PROUD MARY: THE BEST OF IKE AND TINA TURNER STILL ISN’T A FIRST-RATE RETROSPECTIVE. IF NOTHING ELSE, THE INCLUSION OF A MODEST REMAKE OF "RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH" INSTEAD OF THE MONUMENTAL VERSION PRODUCED BY PHIL SPECTOR, MAKES PROUD MARY A COMPROMISE RATHER THAN A VICTORY.[3]
