      The lawsuits came much later. John could have worked with his band mates instead of insisting they should sing their own songs. And letting Tom have a couple of songs on each album to prevent him quitting. Together they could have fulfilled the bad Fantasy contract. But John was paranoid that people would stop buying their albums. But selling ten times less would still be great number.

      @@emergencylowmaneuvering7350 He’s exactly right. What John Fogarty did was exactly what John Lennon and Paul McCartney and George Martin did to George Harrison. We’ll never know if Tom Fogarty and Stu Cook and Doug Clifford would have been songwriters because they never had a chance to develop. John Fogarty was like a child at the playground who took his ball home because he didn’t get his way. I understand that John didn’t want to sing their songs, but Doug, Stu and Tom would have settled for 4 songs between them, and John could get the other 8. But John wanted to MAKE A POINT: He insisted that they write MORE SONGS because he wanted them to fail. Yes: The Lawsuits came years later. In reality: John Fogarty destroyed his own band, and never came close to achieving that sort of success again. It’s his own fault: He refused to bend a little and compromise. He could have gotten a lot, but instead: He lost it all. It’s karma: It was HIS CHOICE. John Fogarty did it. He lost YEARS of beautiful songs because he was stubborn. It was his choice.

    Great hard driving CCR song! Listen to Doug's drumming here - so inventive! I don't know why so many people dish out on Tom, Stu & Doug. The fact is all of John's solo stuff had NOWHERE NEAR the feel & excitement of the CCR songs. All 3 were exceptional musicians in their own way & added so much character the the CCR sound. John was a brilliant writer, singer & guitarist - but also a control freak. He wanted to do all the overdubs himself. Stu was a piano player but it wasn't until the "Pendulum" album that he was allowed to play piano on anything. Also Tom should have had the chance to develop his vocals. John & Tom were about equal right back at the start, but John really worked on his voice & it became a powerhouse. CCR could have had a very long life if John hadn't been so controlling.

      You're so right. They had so much power by the early '70s, they could have experienced and evolved so much and still sold a load of albums just because of their brand. The could have fulfilled the bad Fantasy contract by 1974, especially if all four were producing songs. CCR is supposed to be working class music, but John displays individualism like a capitalist. He forgets his talent grew from The Golliwogs.

      "A very long life" with crap songs written and sung by Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford? 🤣
      Tom Fogerty wrote and performed lead vocals when CCR was known as The Golliwogs. His songs were terrible which is why John took over as the songwriter and lead vocalist when they became CCR. Tom Fogerty left CCR to embark on a solo career that went nowhere. Each album was terrible and got worse. He never improved in an entire decade both writing and singing.
      Stu Cook and Doug Clifford were given the opportunity to both sing and write songs on Mardi Gras. The result was a disaster as both the singing and writing was crap. They later reformed as "Creedence Clearwater Revisited" and neither one of them attempted to write their own material when they had the full opportunity to do so.
      So, all this proves is that John Fogerty was correct to have control of the band since his songwriting and vocals was CCR. Tom, Stu, and Doug were jealous of John which was obvious. When they were given the opportunity to write and sing, they totally bombed which made the animosity grow even more.
      Tom, Stu, and Doug were not songwriters or singers. They were excellent musicians at playing their own instruments. Their jealousy and quest to become something they were not was what broke up the band.
      You have no argument here since the material they put out was total crap and it would never have a "long life" amongst listeners because nobody listens to the garbage they already put out.
