Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American phenomenon that from 1968 to 1972 enjoyed an impressive prestige and popularity, they dominated the radio with an unusual feat, a busy but prolific period of work: 7 albums in 4 years, more than 10 platinum records, and 8 number 1 singles. By 1970 and with the beatles out of business, not only did they become the biggest band in the united states, they had triple the sales of the rolling stones, pink floyd had not yet taken off completely, and led zeppelin had not yet reached its peak, so for a few glorious months, they were without a doubt, the biggest band in the world.

    Great video and recap! Just a correction about Woodstock to clear up any confusion. The audience hadn't left, they fell asleep. Fogerty in past interviews was discouraged that the Dead had put the audience to sleep that John wasn't hearing the normal response from an audience in between songs so much that thought they weren't loud enough, continuing to ask "is this thing on?" He still jokes to this day that one person way out in the field yelled, "We're with you, John!" So he said he felt while he was at Woodstock, he played for "that guy".

    "1968 until 1962"?! They were together for negative 4 years... Amazing indeed. 🙄
  • @ric8248
    Awesome. Given how clear they recordings sound it would be great to have an insight on their recording process.

    Bruce Springsteen's induction speech for Credence into the RR Hall of Fame is mandatory viewing for all Creedence fans.

    Another correction, Tom was rhythm guitarist, only! John was lead guitarist as well as singer, writer, arranger and producer. You made it sound like Tom was lead guitarist, which he was not!

    Check out HANOI ROCKS Up Around the Bend song! They even had a video in 1985 on mtv. Funnily while " Centerfield" was a big hit!!

    CCR is a good choice! I would suggest doing a vid on Mick Taylor with the Stones?
