Jambalaya

"Jambalaya" by John Fogerty is originally in the key of C major. The song was written and originally recorded by country musician Hank Williams in 1952, but Fogerty, known as the lead vocalist of Creedence Clearwater Revival, later covered it in his 1972 self-titled album. Fogerty's interpretation infuses his distinctive rock and roll sound into the song while still capturing its country charm. The melody is upbeat and catchy, combining elements of country, rock, and Cajun music. Notably, Fogerty's version of "Jambalaya" reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972.
