Tina Turner Instagram – Proud Mary was written by John Fogerty for Creedance Clearwater Revival. The song portrays a new life available on the river, the promise of like-minded camaraderie and the chance for rebirth as an individuals whose life exists on the ever-moving river. The universe works in mysterious ways and while the song wasn’t initially written for Tina, in hindsight it’s almost as if this song was foreshadowing what’s to come for this Rock legend.
