Just last year, I wrote a lengthy piece about Creedence Clearwater Revival, a fine band. In it, I mentioned the continuing strife between lead singer/songwriter John Fogerty and the other living members of the group, plus his brother’s widow. As of December 2014, the lawsuits continue.
So I’m just going to link to some solo John Fogerty for his birthday number three score and ten:
With the Blue Ridge Rangers: Jambalaya (On The Bayou), #16 in 1973. This was #1 country hit in 1952 for Hank Williams.
Rockin’ All Over The World, #27 in 1975.
Almost Saturday Night, #78 in 1975.
The Old Man Down The Road, #10 in 1985.
Rock And Roll Girls, #20 in 1985. Its B-side,
Centerfield, #44 in 1985, was
honored by the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010.
