The Life & Tragic Death of Creedence Clearwater Revival's TOM FOGERTY

John's voice just oozed Rock and Roll.

CCR! A great American Band! Their sound was a captivating break from the British invasion and sugary pop music.

Creedence Clerwater Revival ist seid 50 Jahren meine Lieblingsband. Tom Fogerty war ein sehr guter Rhythmus Gitarrist mit einer sehr schönen Stimme. Ich habe alle 5 CD`s von ihm. Schade das er bei CCR keine von ihm komponierte Lieder singen durfte,vieleicht hätte die Band dann länger existiert. RiP Tom 🙏 Grüße aus Deutschland

Right in the middle of the psychedelic era, Creedence, who were the very opposite of psychedelic, were one of the biggest bands in the US. I remember them well and I loved them and their songs, such as Green River.😅

So strange finding out my favourite Creedence song "walk on the water" was Tom's only song recorded by Tom. Sad.

Another great video! What a tragic story, quite shocking really. Sibling rivalry is never nice and being in a band would have made it even worse! I’ll take a listen to some of Tom’s solo stuff. Thanks.

CCR such a fantastic band

What a awesome video have a wonderful Easter long weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Where were you on the night of Friday July 18 1969 - - ? - - I was at the Fillmore East on 2nd avenue in New York City watching Creedence Clearwater Revival , Joe Nania

Tom Fogerty was a so-so guitar player who was lucky enough to be in a band with one of the great musical artists of the 20th Century......sadly the only thing Tom felt was envy in lieu of gratitude....a self made tragedy....

It's sad as brothers their differences could have been reconciled, as CCR was a creation of both Tom and John. Tom went off to Viet Nam and when he returned the direction of the band went through John. There is no way of telling if any of CCR's legacy would have changed if that "division" of the brothers wouldn't have happened. The years they started charting their hits, from 1968 through my graduation in 73 I was at Charlotte High School in Rochester, NY. I had a R&R band, Fox, in 1971. We covered "Proud Mary," it was one of our favorite songs. I still play it today...Over 50 years ago! RIP Tom. ✝🙏♥

This sound and style of voice-over sounds great! Reminds me of my home planet, Voltar.

The CCR song catalogue can only be matched by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. A tragedy that they coluldn' work together any longer.

Never knew they were from NorCal like me. Born in Berkeley and lived in El Cerrito. Tom seems genuine. John had the writing skills.

They were a great band I still have their 8 tracks. 🙏❤

Unfortunately, Tom got buried by the sheer talent of his younger brother John, which, we all know, was substantial. John is still recording today, one of the few remaining active superstars of from the golden era of Rock, and by god, CCR could definitely Rock. There was a time after CCR broke up that Tom betrayed John by siding with Saul Zantz on contract royalties which led to a long and emotional trial in which John was able to gain possession of the rights to the songs he wrote while with CCR, which was, pretty much, all of them. In his bitterness toward Zantz, John wrote a song declaring his feelings towards Mr. Zantz called "Zanz Can't Danz" but was threatened by a lawsuit and changed the song to "Vanz Can't Danz' to avoid another lengthy trial. Anyone with the original version of that album should hold onto it. I have one. Don't know if it's worth anything, but I have one.

Wow, didn't know that was Tom singing, Goodbye Media Man. Loved that song. Shame Tom and John didn't get along . Enjoyed !

John didn't play with the others on Zephyr National, John played his parts seperately. Tom took a dig at John in the first verse of his song from 1980 called "The Secret". He also did on his song "The Me Song" from 1972.

While they may have started out together John was a musical force in his own right. Tom even said when John took the stage he owned it. Later you had Doug Clifford & Stu Cook trying to hijack the CCR name.Tom's solo career was not in the same league as John's inspiration. All in all another musical tragedy in three acts.

John got sued in the 80's over creating songs that sounded created by John Fogerty. Odd is it not? He won the suit.
