John Fogerty (born John Cameron Fogerty, on 28 May 1945 in Berkeley, California) is an American singer and songwriter, best known for his time with the roots rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Fogerty’s rise to fame came in 1968, when John, together with his brother Tom, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, released their first hit song “
Susie Q”, thus launching their band CCR to stardom. While in Creedence, John Fogerty proved to be not only a great vocalist, but a capable songwriter and guitarist. CCR became one of the most popular rock bands of that time.
However tensions within the band flared in 1971, causing John’s brother, Tom, to leave the band. John demanded that Stu Cook and Doug Clifford write and sing one third each of the next album, Mardi Gras. Unfortunately Mardi Gras turned out to be their last album as Fogerty bought himself out of his contract and officially left the band to start a chart-topping solo career.
He started with Blue Ridge Rangers – a 1973 debut album consisting of covers of great, but somewhat forgotten, blues songs. In 1975 John Fogerty, the first album to feature original material, came out, with two songs standing out in particular: the rock musicians anthem “Rockin’ All Over The World” and “Almost Saturday Night”. In the same time CCR’s former label president filed the first of many lawsuits against Fogerty, for sounding too much like his original band.

The man is a freakin' genius, it's sad that I talk to so many people who don't even know who he is - everyone has heard a song he wrote at one time or another but most of them don't even realize it!
