Juan Gabriel singing a John Fogerty song puts him in a line with R.E.M. and Creedence Clearwater Revival, which is not company most people expect him to keep. Hear Fogerty sing his own words first, then come back to Juan.

Juan Gabriel sang "El sinaloense" on a 2008 release, but someone else made the first recording of it. Which act was it?Martín y Malena con Mariachilearned

Severiano Briseño wrote it, and Martín y Malena con Mariachi put out the first recording in 1944, long before Juan Gabriel got to it. Play theirs first, then his, and listen to how far one song can travel.
