Creedence Clearwater Revival

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) formed in 1967 in El Cerrito, California, originally under the name The Golliwogs. The band consisted of members John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. They adopted the name Creedence Clearwater Revival as they aimed to blend rock and roll with a Southern swamp rock sound, drawing inspiration from roots rock and blues. Their breakthrough came with hits like "Bad Moon Rising" and "Proud Mary," establishing them as a significant force in the music scene of the late 1960s.

A revival song is a type of music typically associated with religious gatherings, particularly in Christian contexts, aimed at inspiring spiritual renewal and enthusiasm among participants. These songs often feature themes of repentance, hope, and salvation, encouraging listeners to reflect on their faith and commitment. Revival songs can be both traditional hymns and contemporary worship music, serving to unify congregations during worship services or evangelistic events.

The CCR (Council of Conservative Republicans) group was primarily associated with conservative Republicans. Founded in the mid-20th century, it aimed to promote conservative values and policies within the Republican Party. While it did not align with the Democratic Party, it sought to influence the broader political landscape from a Republican perspective.

Yes, the rap song "Runnin'" by The Pharcyde samples "Up Around the Bend" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The track features elements of the original song, blending its upbeat sound with The Pharcyde's distinctive lyrical style. This sampling showcases the influence of classic rock on hip-hop music.

For a Creedence Clearwater Revival concert, aim for a laid-back, retro vibe that reflects the band's roots in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Opt for comfortable, casual clothing such as vintage-inspired jeans or denim shorts paired with a classic band t-shirt. Layer with a flannel shirt or a light jacket for cooler evenings, and don't forget comfortable shoes for dancing and enjoying the music. Accessorize with simple jewelry or a hat to complete the look.

No they did not.

They band took on this name in 1967. Previously they were called The Golliwogs.

The group traces its origins to 1958, when they were called the Blue Velvets.

I don't think so. A guy named Andrew Strong recorded Mustang Sally in '91 on a soundtrack called "The Commitments" and he sounds a lot like Joe Cocker, but that's the closest I've heard.

This popular american rock bank was made up by lead singer Jon Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Doug Clifford and Stu Cook. Their most popular song 'Bad Moon Rising' was released in 1969 at the height of the band's popularity.

No Creedence Clearwater Revival didn't record The House of the Rising Sun. The version that is most often miss-associated with them was the version recorded by the Animals. There are many MP3s that were mislabeled. The previous answer said that it was in "Creedence Collection Vol 2" which was not an actual album. It was the equivalent to an MP3 "mix tape." Other notable songs on this "Creedence mix tape" included "Old Time Rock -n- Roll" which was actually Bob Seger and "American Woman" which was actually the Guess Who.

The lead singer of the former band Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fogerty *vocals/lead guitar), plays in concerts with his brother, Tom Fogerty (bass), but the band never reunited completely. The other two members don't involve themselves in concerts, although I think I've seen the band's former drummer play with the Fogerty brothers in a video of a concert on YouTube. (Maybe someone else can revise a better answer than I can...?)

No, hence the different names and the different band members.

Tom Fogerty died from complications of AIDS in 1990. He became infected with HIV from a blood transfusion. As of January 2011, the remaining members of the band -- John Fogerty, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford -- are all doing well.

Dale Hawkins

The movie is called "Who'll stop the rain", was later renamed "Dog soldiers".

The song is on the the group's album Creedence Collection, Vol. 2.

According to a magazine article I read many years ago, there were contractual difficulties for John Fogerty. Apparently there was no interest in song writing from other band members, so he assumed the responsibility for song writing duties which were not reflected in a fair share of the royalties. Song writing credits on "Mardi Gras" tend to support this when I suppose the end had become inevitable. I cannot recall the magazine or the author and I stand to be corrected.

Bad moon rising

Creedence Clearwater Revival ended in 1972.
