John Cameron Fogerty (born May 28, 1945) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. Together with Doug Clifford, Stu Cook, and his brother Tom Fogerty, he founded the swamp rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), for which he was the lead singer, lead guitarist, and principal songwriter. CCR had nine top-10 singles and eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.[7]

Since CCR parted ways in 1972, Fogerty has had a successful solo career,[8] which continues. He was listed on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Songwriters (at No. 40)[9] and the list of 100 Greatest Singers (at No. 72).[10] His songs include "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Fortunate Son", "Green River", "Down on the Corner", "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Centerfield", "The Old Man Down the Road", and "Rockin' All Over the World".
