- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of the biggest rock bands of all time. With Tom Fogerty on rhythm guitar, Stu Cook on bass, Doug Clifford on drums, and John Fogerty writing their songs while providing lead guitar and lead vocals as well, CCR blazed like a comet through the pop culture sky, churning out hits like "Green River," "Suzie Q," "Proud Mary," "Born on the Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising," "Lodi," "Down on the Corner," "Fortunate Son," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" in an incandescent four year period.
And then in 1972 they suddenly broke up in an acrimonious battle that has continued for nearly five decades. Why? Here's the untold truth of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

What's your favorite Creedence Clearwater Revival song?
Green River🌸
Have you ever seen the rain
It Came Out Of The Sky 🛸
Long as I can see the light🧡A soul classic🌸
Lookin out my back door
CCR the best band.
I saw John perform just a few years ago . Unbelievable energy! The band sued Fogerty for Old Man Down The Road. He asked, "How can I plagiarize myself?" He won the case.
Listening to old man down the road you could tell he was basically the sound of ccr it’s still crazy i heard john played every instrument when he recorded it
John should've told them "I steal from the BEST."
The band didn't sue him Saul did!
@@bebo5558 Thanks for the clarification! I'll check it out.
@@thecausalgamer7916 - It wasn’t the other band members, it was his arch enemy, Saul
Zantz who basically sued Fogerty for plagiarizing himself.
Stu and Doug is the Groove!!
My fave group since spring 1971.
Credence Clearwater Revival, has some of THE best music ever written, and they have so many great song's! "Run Through the Jungle", "Have you ever seen the Rain", "Susie Q", "Fortunate Son" & "Green River". Just a few of many, great song's! Appreciated the video, informative and interesting. Peace love & respect from Florida.....🎶 🌞 😎 🇺🇸 🎶
Mhmmmmmm
Except Susie Q and Heard It though The Grapevine that John Fogerty didn't write
@@davidgibson7615 He didn't say John wrote them, he said, "the best music ever written"! John ALWAYS cared about the music, the end product, what was put out for the people to hear!
This band always reminds me of my dad.
My favorites: Midnight Special,
Lodi, Someday Never Comes,
Up Around The Bend, Who'll Stop The Rain, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Fortunate Son, and SusieQ, Hey Tonight
Born on the Bayou....#1
Travelin' Band, Bad Moon Rising, Down on the Corner, Proud Mary?
CCR got us through some crazy years
This is so true.
I'm 61 and in 1971 or 72, my older brother gave me their album comos factory, album long gone but listen to that cd daily there an awesome band.
In 74 I was 12 when I first found an uncle's Cosmos Factory album along with others n fell in love with their music, I've listened to their music most of my life n still do, it's even better now that we're able to watch their YT videos. They've definitely gotten me thru some difficult times. Sometimes I wish I had been able to have watched them perform in person, I love watching ppl play their instruments n sing. In the past, here on our Reservation, we've had several Native American country n rock bands who had played for dances n sometimes for funerals. Ppl are so blessed to be gifted in playing guitars, drums, harmonica, etc. I had even spoken about forming an all female band, back in high sch I was the lead clarinet player in band, for the life of me I couldn't read or write certain notes, I was only able to play the notes by looking at them really good, I dunno how I was able to pass band with high grades! I must have a weird brain, but then I've watched videos of famous musicians who had/have this similar problem, they can play music only by looking at the notes. I have the utmost respect for those who have the gift to write music, especially for all of the instruments.
God bless*
@@brendaatkins2450 awesome post great story, I do listen to them very often , takes me back to when things were mellow and laid back , I too wish I could have seen them live, and yes it's cool we can see videos and old footage that is just as good, prolly in 1973 I joined band class wanted to be a drummer, but hate to say I fizzled out couldn't read music I guess, but today I do think about what if, but now I'm going to retire soon, also put 25 yrs in the military so I'm ready to enjoy the rest and relaxation from the 40 yrs of the working force and daily schedules , just kick back and relive some of the past, have a wonderful day, thanks for sharing.

John Foggerty, the best voice in rock ever. I hate that John stopped any reunions, but I can understand why. Think about it, you write, and play your heart out and some record executive takes the money and credit.
Fogerty not Foggerty.

@@francodati151 I see you still haven't gotten that life yet. So sad.
Super band
The best highway music.
This is the first rock band I was exposed to in my life. Dad had us listening to these guys at seven years old. So I go back to at least 1988 with CCR.
I finally found out how n why CCR had split apart, especially the story between John n his bro Tom. It's so heartbreaking n unfortunate. They definitely were one of the greatest bands n John had such a great n unique sound.
That's so sad how they had split up n John wouldn't allow the original band to be inducted in the Hall of Fame, I feel that they all had made CCR one of the greatest bands that they were. God bless each of the original band members*
They've always been one of my favorite bands ever since I was 12 yrs old.
They split up because the other members were jealous, spineless, immature babies! They could have just been happy for CCR's top selling popularity and rode the wave till it quit, but they pee'd in the pool and ruined a good thing!
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT... AMEN !!!
I have not listened to CCR in 30 years but was a big fan of them in college. It was always my cleaning music - pop in the cassette and get moving!
Here's a bit of trivia for you straight from Casey Kasem. What Rock group had more #2 hits than any other band in history, but never had a Billboard #1 hit? Despite outselling even the Beatles for a time the answer of course is Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Still listen to this songs thanks guys be safe yeah
I always luv uguys from the sixties and seventies my favorite song down on the corner
Who'll stopp the rain is my favorite song of CCR.
Have you ever seen the Rain? Fortunate Son.... Ramble Tamble...... Lodi.... Proud Mary... and a ton more !
Life is to short for all that resentment

CELEBRATING 52 YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE OF "COSMO'S FACTORY",
THE GREATEST STUDIO-RECORDED ALBUM IN ROCKNROLL HISTORY 🎸
Good video. I never saw them in concert, but I still play their music. Thanks for the bookmarks. I wish more people would use them.
Imagine naming a band the golly woggs now, the first comment I made got removed so a perfect example haha
I met John Fogerty in 1997,really nice guy.
I met him in 2023, really nice guy
they did well for a four cord band
I would have stayed up to hear them😊
It was a very difficult situation when it became apparent that John Fogerty was the creative force that was driving the band. His song writing , vocals and guitar playing were simply the focal point in all the songs. The other band members were supporting members but were unable to match his skills as a song writer. And from there a bitterness grew and the division occurred . Same thing happened with Grand Funk Railroad only worse as later on Don Brewer managed a signature out of Marc Farner which now denies him ANY rights to the songs he wrote. Rock & Roll is a Vicious Game ( April Wine ).
I remember that, Loved Mark Farner then too.
Evil SOB
Nice use of Opie Radio, that was a great interview with John
Rock on 👹👹👹🤒🤒 for every day
Better run 🏃♂️though the jungle 😊🎸🥁
YES!!
Through
Okay. So, CCR didn't get on the stage until 2:30 am. Now, I wonder what groups went before and after them.
I believe Ritchie Havens was the first performance.
I know the band before them was Grateful Dead & they played way past midnight, when CCR was supposed to take the stage. Even though Grateful Dead is also from the Bay area, they played totally different types of music & were not that friendly.
@@jwwj30 THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I LOVE MYSELF SOME INTERESTING WOODSTOCK FACTS
Sorry guys I was mistaken. JF joined JG and The Boys on stage at the Polo Field @ Golden Gate Park in SF in 1991. There is excellent video right here on youtube!!!!!!
@@evhbombastic no problem at'all
The Dead played before CCR, and story is the all dropped LSD before going on stage, and literally got lost in their sets. Janis Joplin was on after CCR, and supposedly fans were sleeping through most of CCR’s performance.
CCR would have been the greatest band in the world after the Beatles broke up. If only they put their differences aside and tried to record a few more years as a 4 piece unit, they could have surpassed the Beatles in record sales. Just sayin'
No way in hell would CCR sell more records than the Beatles and I'm a CCR fan. That's just a foolish statement meant to belittle the Beatles who were and are the greatest rock band of all time. CCR were never as versatile.
@@idanwillenchik3050 In some circles CCR sold more albums in 1970 than anybody, but that depends who you ask or how it's worded??
@@idanwillenchik3050
There's no bigger fan of CCR than me, and I also love the Beatles.
But for your information, in 1969, 1970, and 1971 Creedence Clearwater
Revival sold more records than not only
the Beatles, but were the top-selling act in the world, in all catagories and genres.
But you are obviously correct in that the Beatles are the top-selling rocknroll band in history.🎸
@@t4texastom587 I'm not denying their success or their lasting appeal but they were never going to be as big or as important as the Beatles. Even at the height of their fame they never had a # 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . The Beatles had Lennon,McCartney and Harrison all writing classics. CCR was all Fogerty and as good as he was and still is the other members weren't as talented songwriters, not by a long shot.
Alguien sabe si los Beatles , tocó algún tema ( s ) instrumental algo en qué variarán su estilo uno de ellos eran las baladas y u rock suave o algo por el estilo porque si hay una diferencia entre CCR y los Beatles , mientras qué CCR fueron 4 músicos desde jóvenes qué empezaron a tocar ( casi chavillos ) los Beatles tuvieron ( pasaron varios músicos ) varias personas hasta qué quedaron 4 siendo los Beatles qué todos mundo conoció .
“Put me in coach, I’m ready to play”
Today?
The Billboard Top 10/100 shouldn't be any measure of an artist's greatness. In the late 60's and early 70's there was a lot of artists putting out legendary music. There was a lot of competition for number 1 plus the fact that there was crossover from Country, Folk, Motown/Soul etc. During Michael Jackson's run, for example, Pop music was no where near that level. CCR owned the Summer of 1969. I always gave John Fogerty respect because he served in the Military like Hendrix, Elvis, Tommy and Toy Caldwell (Marshal Tucker Band) etc. He has been consistent in supporting our Veterans even though I disagree with his politics.
Stu and Doug were awesome with CCR, they went on to back somebody somewhere sometime and did not find the same success, but yeah, John/Stu/Doug were just a force of nature. Tom at the time of CCR fame was just Rooster on the washboard
Nothing untold about this collage of well-known facts.
Greatest band in the world, ha ha. Well, were at the time. I would give a dollar or two for a recording of their hotel room session with Led Zeppelin from Adelaide, Australia, February 72, apparently a very big night in that town, where the two bands played separate gigs on the same night. Bit of a dissolution of crowds for both, surely? Anyway, CCR, greatest band in the world. But greatest balls up at the end of it all too.
If we could all have 2 life's, first life to learn from, and the second one, to know better from the first, But have the same family, because there are so many things we do and say, that we have to live with, And I'm sure, we wouldn't make the same mistakes, But have much more insight, of where bad things, can ruin every life, The song "Put a candle in the window" Fits this perfect
Please name of song that plays in background? Thanks
Woulda coulda shoulda been the biggest band in the world
🤙🏼
The thumbnail made me do a double take, I thought it was a snapshot from a highway to Heaven episode there for a second.
Using a tainted lens to depict musical personalities and characters may generate a lot of clicks, but accurately balancing the positive and seemingly negative aspects of history takes a keener understanding and greater familiarity than a half-way researcher can manage. I doubt anyone associated with this video ever knew any of the members of CCR personally. Some groupies were very young; I started at 14.
Hendrix didn't play in front of 400,000 people, as by the final day everyone had gone home.
I was around Creedence when they played at Memorial Hall opening for Sonny and Cher and once in Sacramento when they played at a Bowling Alley bar on Watt Ave. I loved them before they were famous. It's a shame the bitterness happened between brothers. My take on it, I was young of course, I thought John was kind of a jerk.
I recently have started liking the song "Vanz Can't dance" recently and found out that the song (out of a few) was talking about CCR's manager Mr. Zanz in terms of how corrupt and greedy he was and "how he would rob you blind".
It's happened to so many great bands. Grand Funk was another huge band that signed a terrible contract which ultimately destroyed the band AND their music.
I always loved CCR but I find John to be somewhat of a hypocrite. He is a genius. I agree but refused to live in CA where all his anti-Vietnam war support was. He remarked that he did not want his children to grow up there. I don't blame him but he wants everything both ways.
Cali back then was a conservative state. Ronald Reagan was Governor
I thought Down On the Corner was the biggest AM hit ever. It's not even mentioned here ?????????????????
'Untold truth' EVERYBODY KNOWS. Déjà vu monsieur !
They claimed to be hippies but hippies never fight. Especially not with other hippies. Hippies also never go to the police or to court. So actually they were rather like anti-hippies who slipped into the role of being a band who plays roots rock, swamp rock, blues rock, Southern rock, country rock, and blue-eyed soul. I know a lot of hippies hated CCR
CCR was the "working man's" rock band. John said that they did NOT want to be like the hippies (who were known for having their heads-in-the-clouds and perpetually being on dope). CCR never smoked dope nor did they take any drugs. As a matter of fact, they were considered to be "uncool" by their own peers in the music industry for this very reason.
@@jeanieruter8728 Ahh, you are wrong on a lot of what you post. Plenty pot going down, even in the private jets. But hippies were just self obsessed hypocrites and many around Haight Ashbury dudes were just parasitical leeches.
Those who don't forgive, won't be forgiven. Jesus Christ.
Just like Fredo and Michael..(Godfather)
Record companies suck. Always have. Think of what the world of rock would be like if they wasn't so greedy. Thanks
(Nickelback) Chad Kroeger's favourite band
John Fogerty is the CCR!
I love C.C.R., as well as John Fogerty, solo. I knew how they got their name, that they aren't from Louisiana, that they got to #2 as their peak, that John refuses to play with Stu and Doug, and extensive use of "Fortunate Son".
some people are just sad sacks with a chip on both shoulders.
Forgety was mean
@tom thumb You know him well, don't you? Close, like?
Why don't you elaborate, where and when, was he mean to you??
John Fogerty was CCR
someone pls help, how was john born in 1959 but started the band in 1969-1972 uhmm mans was 10
matthew
John Fogerty was born in '45.
Actually all of this has already been told
I See A Bad Moon Rising the most pessimistic song on the planet.
There’s a bathroom on the right🤣🤣🤣is how I use to belt it out!!
In terms of controlling sociopaths, Don Henley Band, Inc., has nothing on John Fogerty. Abused by his record labels, he takes it out on his brother and anyone around him. I used to empathize with his plight, but he is as narcissistic as Zaentz.
Hail Hail Rock and Roll.
Why John Fogerty can't be famous or success after CCR? Because the magic always was in THE BAND. John alone never be as great... CCR FOREVER !!!
John stayed true to his morals where his scummy band mates sold out. Have massive respect for John the others can drive off a bridge for all I care.
No wonder john didnt wanna reunite with them, they fucked him over worse then axl rose did the orginal members of guns n roses.
Goooooooooooooooood morning Vietnam. Sorry, had to.
Thank God John Fogerty was against a reunion. I am sick of old musicians not knowing when to hang it up.
Some of us still like them. CCR were my parents's generation, but still.
Way overrated
That my friend is subjective. I hate the Rolling Stones.
@@jk-76 all these big bands have like 10 songs that are good. Beatles, Elton John, Rolling Stones ... Only CCR song I like is "Fortunate Son"
@@babagandu
That is my point. Even those bands with 10 hits get sounding like bad karaoke. Led Zepplin did us a favor not keeping it going. There are exceptions, Sammy Hagar still sounds great. I was never a big fan but I would pay to see him live. AC/DC still r9cks but they also need to stop.
@@jk-76 yeah they are overrated too
@@babagandu I like the song Penthouse Pauper
The other band members didn't sell their voting rights in the band until 1988, after Zaentz sowed some extra dissension between the band members and also took advantage of the news that Tom Fogerty was essentially dying. Zaentz was all about squeezing as much money as possible out of CCR, and owning the majority of the voting rights allowed him to license all of CCR's songs to movies and advertising, earning him even more piles of money since he owned the rights to the songs. Without Zaentz manipulating the members of CCR, adding tension to the band, and signing them to a very long and exploitative contract, who knows - perhaps CCR would've stayed together. We'll never know. In any case, Zaentz was a major factor to the band's problems.
(John wrote a couple of songs about Zaentz on his "Centerfield" album - "Vanz (Zanz) Kant Danz" and "Mr. Greed".)
Well said
Do you believe everything you read, Dull chemist? You repeat things that have been hashed around for years as if you know what is true & what is fiction! I know you love to try and impress readers with your knowledge on Creedence Clearwater Revival & it’s fortunes. However, your like a lot of other “want to be’s” on here that know nothing with any real meaning about the band! I laugh at most of your posts that you try to impress most of the “jerks” on here who post crap that they have read from “want to be’s” like you!
Ok ! What I never heard , what was the cause of Tom Fogerty passing?
Anyone .?
