Happy Birthday to John Fogerty — the man Bruce Springsteen has often introduced as “The Hank Williams of his generation” — who turns 75 today (May 28th)!!!
Between 1968 and 1972, John Fogerty wrote and produced such timeless classics for Creedence Clearwater Revival as “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Lodi,” “Green River,” “Commotion,” “Down On The Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Travelin' Band,” “Who'll Stop The Rain,” “Up Around The Bend,” “Run Through The Jungle,” “Lookin' Out My Back Door,” “Tombstone Shadow,” “Green River,” “Wrote A Song For Everyone,” “Long As I Can See The Light,” “Have You Ever Seen The Rain?,” “Hey Tonight,” “Sweet Hitch-Hiker,” “Someday Never Comes,” and “Born On The Bayou,” among many others.
Last November saw the release of Fogerty's latest live collection — 50 Year Trip: Live At Red Rocks. Coming on August 14th is the 50th anniversary vinyl reissue of Creedence's 1970 Cosmo’s Factory album. The new half-speed master edition was mastered at Abbey Road Studios. Craft Records is calling on fans around the globe to be a part of a new video for the album's classic closing track, “Long As I Can See The Light.”
