Words and music are by John Fogerty.

The song was first recorded and released by Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969. It reached #2 in the US charts.

Ike and Tina Turner released a version of the song which reached #4 in the US in 1971.

My sister claims that a friend of hers thought Redemption Song began with the line:
"Old Silas was a rabbi...."
(Quite why Bob would've been singing about this remains a mystery....)

... and ultimately it isn´t even a soul record. More like rhythm and blues.

And Ike and Tina's version is much faster and more manic. I can understand the lyrics better in the original CCR version.
