Creedence Clearwater Revival ✓

CCR hit the stage at the Forest Hills Music Festival today in 1971, alongside Bo Diddley and Tower of Power! Columnist Gary Stoller recollected the show in 2015: "John Fogerty’s snarling, swampy vocals cut through the dark night like a butter knife, while Stu Cook’s rumbling bass and Doug Clifford’s powerful drumming kept a thunderous beat."

Cosmo's Factory held the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for 9 weeks and spawned 6 top 5 singles! What track is your favorite?

"Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes, hoo, they send you down to war, Lord." Fortunate Son, live at Royal Albert Hall. Fortunate Son is written and arranged by John Fogerty, and originally appears on 1969's Willy and the Poor Boys.

John talks about the origins of "Down on the Corner" and the name Willy and the Poor Boys on the @Zach Sang Show!

This week in 1994, Forrest Gump hit theaters across North America and became the first introduction to Creedence for many younger generations, as Fortunate Son blasts on screen while Forrest begins his service in Vietnam. Where did you first hear CCR? Fortunate Son is written and arranged by John Fogerty, and originally appears on 1969's Willy and the Poor Boys.

"And I can remember the Fourth of July, runnin' through the backwood bare." Born on the Bayou, live at Woodstock. The song originated from a soundcheck jam at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco; John got the initial spark for the song during soundcheck and began fleshing out an arrangement, before an irate stage manager unplugged CCR's amps and told them, "You're not going anywhere anyhow," after John questioned his actions. John later took these ideas and finished the rest of Born on the B

"You're gonna find the world is smolderin', and if you get lost, come on home to Green River." Green River, live on The Andy Williams Show. Green River is written and arranged by John Fogerty, and originally appears on the 1969 album of the same name.

A great cover of "Lodi" by @TheSheepdogsOfficial! Lodi is written and arranged by John Fogerty, and originally appears on 1969's Bayou Country.

Bad Moon Rising b/w Lodi hit number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week in 1969! 57 years later, the song is still as fresh and relevant as ever, with dozens of covers and film/TV appearances, including in last year's Wednesday!
