Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) was an American rock band, and arguably one of the greatest bands of all time, as short-lived as it was. The band consisted of four members: Tom and John
Fogerty (they were brothers), Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. Some of their other songs include "Fortunate Son (arguably their signature song)," "Green River," "Born On The Bayou," "Who'll Stop The Rain?," "
Proud Mary," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?," "Travelling Band," "
Run Through The Jungle," and "Proud Mary."
Things took
a dark turn in 1971 when Tom Fogerty left the band. In October of the following year, the three remaining remembers had a rancorous falling out, after their seventh album turned out to be a massive flop because John Fogerty wanted to try something different that the other members did not like.
Following their break-up, the four members went their separate ways.
John Fogerty pursued a solo career. He has expressed an interest in reforming the band since the 2010s, but his ex-bandmates have made a firm refusal to do so.
Doug Clifford and Stu Cook formed the band "Creedence Clearwater Revisited," where they perform
CCR's songs.
Tom Fogerty also embarked on a solo career, but it was cut short when he died on September 6, 1990 from tuberculosis aggravated by HIV/AIDS at the age of 48.
Creedence Clearwater Revival is an
amazing band.
Imagine how much more popular they would have been if they didn't have a
falling out.
