A band that became popular in the 60's during the vietamwar/counter culture era and is still very popular

An American country/rock band that became popular during the Vietnam War. Produced classic hits such as "Proud Mary", "Green River", "Suzie Q" and "Fortunate Son".

Could also be known as CCR, or Creedence Clearwater.

Unfortunately they split circa 1971/2, but still sometimes perform together.

A influencial southern rock band formed by John Fogerty (vocals, lead guitar), Tom Fogerty (back up vocals, rythmn guitar), Stu Cook (bassist), and Doug Clifford (drummer). They hit their peak between 1968-1971. Between those 3 years Creedence Clearwater Revival (aka CCR) recorded 6 great albums, and in 1972 recorded their 7th (and final) album as a group as a trio, without original member (and older brother of the more talented John) Tom Fogerty, who left to persue a awful solo career. They are the band with the most number two hit songs (5) without a number 1.

Albums: 1) Self-titled debut, "Creedence Clearwater Revival",
2)Bayou Country,
3)Green River,
4)Willy and The Poorboys,
5)Cosmo's Factory,
6)Pendulum (Final album with Tom)
7)Mardi Gras (aka the bad album)

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.
