Proud Mary was originally a hit song from the band Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969. Ike & Tina Turner covered it for their live shows and released a studio version in 1971, taken from the album Workin Together. It was Ike & Tina's biggest hit in America, reaching #4 on the Billboard pop chart and was certified gold. The single won also a Grammy Award in the category 'Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group' in 1972 and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003.
Tina re-recorded the track for the movie What’s Love Got To Do With It about her life story with guest vocals by Timmy Cappello and released it again as a single in 1994. This previously unreleased acapella version was taken from the What’s Love? (30th Anniversary Edition), released as the first single for promotion.
