When did creedence clearwater revival start and how?

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.


What does creedence mean?

Credence as in Creedence Clearwater Revival is an intentional misspelling of the word credence, which means acceptance as true or valid. The rock band Creedence Clearwater took the three elements from, firstly, lead singer Tom Fogerty's friend Credence Newball, (to whose first name Credence they added an extra 'e', making it resemble a faith or creed); secondly, "clear water" from a TV commercial for Olympia beer; and finally "revival", which spoke to the four members' renewed commitment to their band.

Does Creedence Clearwater Revival still play concerts?

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...?)
