Before Creedence: 1959-1967 John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook (all born 1945) met at senior high school in El Cerrito, California and began playing instrumentals and “juke box standards“ together under the name The Blue Velvets. The trio also backed singer Tom Fogerty— John’s older brother by three years—at live gigs and in the recording studio. By 1964, the band had signed to Fantasy Records, an independent jazz label based in San Francisco at the time. During this period, band roles underwent some changes. Stu Cook had gone from piano to bass guitar and Tom Fogerty became the band’s rhythm guitarist. John Fogerty also began to write much of the band’s material. Most notably, the young guitarist had taken over lead vocal duty. As Tom would later say, “I could sing, but John had a sound.“ In 1967, Saul Zaentz purchased Fantasy Records from Weiss and offered the band a chance to record a full-length album, but only if the group changed its name. Never having liked The Golliwogs, the foursome readily agreed. Zaentz and the band agreed to come up with ten suggestions each, but he enthusiastically agreed to their first: Creedence Clearwater Revival. The band took the three elements from Creedence Nuball, a friend of Tom Fogerty; “clear water“, from a TV commercial for Olympia beer; and revival, which spoke to the four members’ renewed commitment to their band. (Other contenders were Muddy Rabbit, Gossamer Wump, and Creedence Nuball and the Ruby.) Unlike many other rock artists of the day, they eschewed drug use. More importantly, AM radio programmers around the United States took note when a song from the LP, “Suzie Q“, received substantial airplay in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as on Chicago’s WLS. Blues aficionados doubtless appreciated the similarities between CCR’s tough style and R&B artists on the Chess and Vee-Jay labels. Peak success: 1969-70 Only weeks later, in March 1969, “Bad Moon Rising“ backed with “Lodi“ was released and peaked at #2 on the charts. The band’s third album, Green River, followed in August and quickly went gold along with the single “Green River“, which again reached #2 on the Billboard charts. The B-side of “Green River“, “Commotion“—a one-chord two-step about the perils of city life—peaked at #30. The bar-band story of “Lodi“ became a popular staple on then-emerging FM radio.[citation needed] The band’s emphasis on remakes of their old favorites continued with “The Night Time Is the Right Time“, which found its way into the band’s live set as a crowd sing-along. Creedence continued to tour heavily including performances at the Atlanta Pop Festival and Woodstock. Their set was not included in the Woodstock film or its original soundtrack because Fogerty felt the band’s performance was subpar. (Several CCR tracks from the event were eventually included in the 1994 commemorative box set.) The band also complained that they had to take the stage at three in the morning because The Grateful Dead had jammed far past their scheduled set time. By the time Creedence began playing—“the hottest shot on Earth at that moment“, said Fogerty—many in the audience had gone to sleep. Woodstock didn’t matter. Creedence was busy honing material for a fourth album, Willy and the Poor Boys, released in November 1969. “Down on the Corner“, a good-time street-corner number, and the famously militant “Fortunate Son“ climbed to #3 and #14, respectively, by year’s end. The album was Creedence in its standard form, featuring Fogerty originals and two reworked Leadbelly covers, “Cotton Fields“ and “Midnight Special“. Both the latter songs also had been performed by actor Harry Dean Stanton in the movie Cool Hand Luke, suggesting a subtle non-conformist theme to an apparently tradition-oriented album.
