John Fogerty spent the late '60s and early '70s as the voice, lead guitar and main songwriter of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the band he started with his brother Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, and his songbook is part of the American furniture: "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Fortunate Son", "Green River", "Down on the Corner", "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", all of them covered again and again. Born in 1945, he came out of Berkeley with a howl that sounded older than he was and a guitar tone like a rusty screen door.
CCR split in 1972, and he went solo. Centerfield arrived in 1985, and its title track is pure sunshine: handclaps, a chiming guitar and a grin you can hear. "The Old Man Down the Road" is all murky swamp groove, and "Rockin' All Over the World" is a song for every bar band on the planet.
The honors followed: CCR entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, he joined the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005, took an Americana Lifetime Achievement Award for songwriting in 2009, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
