Creedence Clearwater Revival was founded in 1967 in El Cerrito, California, by John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. They were best known for swamp music, although they also played blues, country, and Southern rock. Their breakthrough came in 1969 with Bayou Country, which featured "Proud Mary." Within four years, they had become one of America's most successful bands, defining rock history with their gritty storytelling and roots-inspired sound.
From 1968 to 1972, CCR released seven albums, five of which reached the Billboard Top 10. Hits like "Bad Moon Rising," "Fortunate Son," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" are still cultural touchstones. In 1969, the band performed at Woodstock and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for several tracks. Although they dissolved in 1972, their impact on American music has lasted for generations.
