About

Creedence Clearwater Revival, commonly abbreviated as CCR or simply Creedence, was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California, in 1959. The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty; his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty; bassist Stu Cook; and drummer Doug Clifford. The members had played together since 1959, initially as the Blue Velvets and later as the Golliwogs, before adopting the name Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967. The band’s most commercially successful period occurred between 1969 and 1971, during which it achieved fourteen consecutive top-10 singles in the United States and five consecutive top-10 albums. Two of these albums, "Green River" (1969) and "Cosmo's Factory" (1970), reached number one on the Billboard 200. CCR also performed at the 1969 Woodstock festival in New York State. CCR disbanded in 1972 following internal disputes over artistic control and business matters, as well as conflicts with Fantasy Records and its owner Saul Zaentz. Tom Fogerty had already left the band in 1971. Following the breakup, legal disputes occurred between former members. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, though John Fogerty did not perform with the surviving members. Although the group never formally reunited, John Fogerty has continued to perform CCR material as a solo artist, while Cook and Clifford later performed as Creedence Clearwater Revisited between 1995 and 2020. CCR’s music remains widely played on classic rock radio in the United States.
