  • Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American phenomenon that from 1968 to 1972 enjoyed an impressive prestige and popularity, they dominated the radio with an unusual feat, a busy but prolific period of work: 7 albums in 4 years, more than 10 platinum records, and 8 number 1 singles. By 1970 and with the beatles out of business, not only did they become the biggest band in the united states, they had triple the sales of the rolling stones, pink floyd had not yet taken off completely, and led zeppelin had not yet reached its peak, so for a few glorious months, they were without a doubt, the biggest band in the world.

    Great video and recap! Just a correction about Woodstock to clear up any confusion. The audience hadn't left, they fell asleep. Fogerty in past interviews was discouraged that the Dead had put the audience to sleep that John wasn't hearing the normal response from an audience in between songs so much that thought they weren't loud enough, continuing to ask "is this thing on?" He still jokes to this day that one person way out in the field yelled, "We're with you, John!" So he said he felt while he was at Woodstock, he played for "that guy".

    Another correction, Tom was rhythm guitarist, only! John was lead guitarist as well as singer, writer, arranger and producer. You made it sound like Tom was lead guitarist, which he was not!

    8#1 songs??? They didn't even have ONE #1 song! lol. They had 5 #2 songs in America. So close, but, couldn't get the #1 spot. CCR did have 2 #1 albums in America, Green River (1969) and Cosmo's Factory (1970).

      He may have commanded a higher concert performance fee but l believe CCR was the highest grossing group in concert in 1969 perhaps because of more concert dates.

    There’s no way CCR are the biggest band ever. We have The Beatles and that’s it. They tried to be the best band ever but could never reach The British Invasion type of music.
