Creedence Clearwater Revival Career (1968 to 1972)

John began his music career after leaving the military. In 1968, John Fogerty joined Creedence Clearwater Revival with his brother Tom and two other band members. They released their first single, Susie Q, and it caused quite a stir for its profanity.

Other hits of the rock and roll band include Bayou Country, Bad Moon Rising, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, and  Run Through the Jungle.

Although they’ve released a couple of singles, they didn’t blow up. The band decided to only stay together for a couple of years. They created their final album, Mardis Gras, before splitting up.

In total, Creedence Clearwater Revival hаd nine top-ten singles and eight gold albums.

It was John who served as the heart of the conflict. John Fogerty voiced out, saying he should hold the greater creative control of the band because he’s not just lead singer, Fogerty wrote the songs as the principal songwriter, and he’s also a lead guitarist.
