Creedence Clearwater Revival (sometimes shortened to Creedence or CCR) was an American rock band that gained popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s with a number of successful singles drawn from various albums. The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, his brother and rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty (who coincidentally lived a few house away from me), bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford.

Creedence Clearwater Revival was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
