About

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California, active from 1967 to 1972. Led by singer, guitarist and primary songwriter John Fogerty, the quartet - completed by his brother Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford - forged a raw, blues-rooted style known as swamp rock that stood apart from the psychedelic trends of their San Francisco Bay Area peers. Between 1969 and 1971 they placed 14 consecutive singles in the US Top 10 and performed at Woodstock; they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
