John Fogerty

John Fogerty’s enduring songs like “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Who’ll Stop The Rain,” “Lodi,” “Looking Out My Back Door,” “Run Through The Jungle,” “Centerfield” and “Fortunate Son” are now so firmly engrained in our collective consciousness they seem to have come to us from the American soil as much as from any one man. John Fogerty recorded many of his great songs as the leader of the now legendary band Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR released nine Top Ten singles between 1969 and 1971, beginning with the classic "Proud Mary," and scored eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972. As a solo artist, Fogerty released an critically acclaimed eponymous album in 1975, and in 1984 released a Top Ten single, "The Old Man Down the Road," and a number one album, Centerfield. CCR was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and in 1997, Fogerty released the Grammy Award-winning Blue Moon Swamp and the live album Premonition a year later. His most recent album, Déjà Vu All Over Again, was released in 2004. To this day, John Fogerty remains a genuinely great artist, one of the defining songwriters of our time.
