Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American Rock band led by main songwriter and singer John Fogerty. Fogerty has gone on to have a successful solo career, while the remaining members have since reformed under the moniker Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook all met while growing up in California and started a band (originally named "The Golliwoggs") that was eventually signed to Fantasy Records. After a brief stint in the Army Reserve, Fogerty and Clifford re-named the band Creedence Clearwater Revival and recorded their self-titled debut album in 1968.

After the success of their debut album, the group went on to tour to support it before going back into the studio to record the follow-up. 1969's Bayou Country was a smash hit and spawned the hits "Bad Moon Rising", "Lodi" and the Ike and Tina Turner cover "Proud Mary". After a string of hit albums and singles, Creedence Clearwater Revival broke up in 1972.
