James Bay. Man who sings about rivers.
And I like it.

[@liseprahm5491]

I have known the song for centuries! We love the River 💖

[@LordRacing16]

This guy is especially good with rivers

[@cathanmccann1769]

Lol 😂

[@raffaeleranieri6246]

You're funny 😄

[@Shalini_Jay_Music]

😂

[@billybibbit5702]

I love how everyone's grinning when he does his guitar thing!

[@noshit31]

Billy Bibbit charming man

[@mdot6021]

That guitar solo though... He really did slay this song, I knew it was going to be good when I realised it was Bay singing Proud Mary. Best performance of the Hootenanny, and a really good Hootenanny at that (best dancing goes to that legend from Future Islands... Obviously).

[@OnlyXAlicia]

How amazing is he though, he never pretends to be something he is not. Always is his unique self in every performance! Mad home grown British talent !!

[@glennmahoney3911]

Yep the Brits are the greatest musicians period !

[@marfila2000]

he added his special personality to the song I like that

[@shiftylad9938]

Jools loving and living his best life.

[@hiray8932]

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[@paulvinny6318]

[@davidfernandez8515]

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
I was worrying 'bout the way the things might've been
You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river (the river)
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
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 a riverboat queen
You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah (rolling)
Rolling on the river
Say we're rolling (rolling) rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
The river
Oh I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying about the way the things might've been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Say we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Oh I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
And 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 a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, tell you rolling, we're rolling on the river
I tell you we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna 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
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, tell you rolling, we're rolling on the river
Tell you we have no time (rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Tell you we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
I tell you we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)

[@catmadwoman6317]

And there's me thinking he was a bit of a wet weekend. But no. James you're fabulous and I take it all back.

[@frederikemilmathiasen980]

Tabs ???

[@No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1]

[@whyisitalwaysyou3764]

A good mash up that pays homage to Creedance and Tina

[@Archontasil]

i only clicked because i thought this was james may

[@Aldrinlralte_13]

He look like Harry Styles and John Mayer at the same time

[@ytaps987]

never knew johnny depp could sing lol

[@zubek110]

0:13 Lennon behind

[@wigster25]

Mr Fogerty would've been proud of that one.....

[@jasonbatty1011]

He actually makes Jools Holland bareable

[@actuallyerik1623]

why does Andy Serkis play the trumpet?

[@lauwe54]

jack you must have been pissed ?

[@bbmm9541]

He is half Filipino

[@davetay]

I mean the the lyric is 'keep' not 'keeps' . Keeps is grammatically correct, ' keep' is slang, and is more in the essence of the song . Other than that a 4/5 for the performance, I liked it.

[@MrJananton]

come on.. hahaha

[@facejobby]

arcana ten You're boring
