John Fogerty – The Beginning of the Journey

Born in California, John Fogerty is Tom Fogerty’s younger brother, who was the rhythm guitarist of CCR. In the late 1950’s they joined hands with Doug Cliffard and Stu Cook to form a band titled "Tom Fogerty and Blue Velvets" based in California. They also performed songs with the band "Fantasy." After performing for a while, the band changed its name to "Creedence Clearwater Revival" in 1967. Following that, things improved greatly for the band. Their first self-titled album "Creedence Clearwater Revival" was released, and it produced the band’s first hit song Susie Q. It was followed by more hit songs like Proud Mary from the album Bayou Country.

In 1971, internal rifts started within the band. Being the songwriter, lead guitarist, and lead singer, John Fogerty argued that his opinion should weigh more than others due to his key role in the band. Tom left the group due to feeling dejected in early 1971. Other members also had their differences and after releasing "Mardi Gras", they disbanded. The album was a commercial success and received gold record status. But the sales volume was quite less compared to their previous albums.
