Happy Birthday to John Fogerty — the man Bruce Springsteen has often introduced as “The Hank Williams of his generation” — who turns 76 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 January, John Fogerty released a new single and accompanying video, “Weeping In The Promised Land,” which offered up a stark reminder of the devastation and heartbreak Americans faced in 2020, while offering hope for the days to come.
