"Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American rock band who gained popularity in the late 1960s and early '70s with a string of successful songs from multiple albums released in 1968, 1969 and 1970. The band is often referred to as Creedence or simply as CCR.

They consisted of singer, lead guitarist, and primary writer John Fogerty, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bass player Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style encompassed early roots rock and so-called swamp rock genres and their songs are often cited as examples of American classic rock. CCR's music is still a staple of American and worldwide radio airplay and often figures in various media.

The surviving members resist all suggestion that they reunite as a group. There have been "unofficial" reunion performances by the band, however. All four members jammed together at Tom Fogerty's wedding on October 19, 1980. John, Stu, and Doug performed at their 20th high school reunion in 1983, but they performed as their original incarnation, The Blue Velvets. But with the new round of lawsuits in the 80s and 90s between John, Saul Zaentz, and Stu and Doug's tribute band, the post-1972 animosity has only deepened." -WIKIPEDIA.com |
