BIO
John Fogerty
Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and Songwriters Hall of Famer John Fogerty is a towering figure in American music. As the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival and as a solo artist, Fogerty forged an entirely distinctive sound—equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern fried rock & roll—alongside powerful, resonant lyrics, true workingman’s poetry.
His classic songs, including “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” have sold over 100 million copies. His 1997 Blue Moon Swamp won the Grammy for Best Rock Album, and his solo work has been nominated for a total of 8 Grammys over the years. He’s even the only musician to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for his song “Centerfield,” a staple at ballparks across the country.
So Fogerty’s status as a legend has long been secure. What’s more remarkable, though, is how popular and influential his music remains after more than 50 years.
Recently, Rolling Stone ran a story with the headline “The Biggest Band in America in 2024 is…Creedence Clearwater Revival.” John Fogerty and his monumental song collection of CCR hits on Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits have spent 737 weeks and counting—more than 14 consecutive years—on the Billboard 200 album chart.
