Ravinia debut

JOHN FOGERTY

Coming of age during the ’60s in southern Cal-

ifornia, John Fogerty was immersed in emer-

gence of rock and roll. Naturally, John and his

older brother Tom learned to play guitar and,

together with high-school friends Doug Clifford

and Stu Cook, formed The Golliwogs in the late

’50s. John took over as lead vocalist and guitar-

ist in the mid-’60s, and with a new band name

and an album to match—Creedence Clearwater

Revival—the quartet hit the airwaves in ear-

nest with a gold-selling rendition of “Susie Q.”

Fogerty also emerged as the band’s chief song-

writer, definitively establishing CCR’s fame with

the number-two hit “Proud Mary” off the top-10

hit album

Bayou Country

(1969). He continued

to draw from a seemingly endless well of inspi-

ration, producing four top-five albums over the

next two years—

Green River

Willy and the Poor

Boys

Cosmo’s Factory

, and

Pendulum

—includ-

ing such everlasting songs as “Bad Moon Ris-

ing,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,”

“Lookin’ Out My Back Door,” and “Have You

Ever Seen the Rain?” CCR split up in 1972, and

Fogerty immediately began working on a “solo”

album—though he was the only performer on

the collection of country covers, the title and

billing was

The Blue Ridge Rangers

. His formal

solo debut (bearing his own name) came in

1975, and after an extended hiatus he topped the

charts with

Centerfield

(1985), featuring a cou-

ple smash-hit singles in “The Old Man Down

the Road” and “Rock and Roll Girls.” Fogerty’s

1997 album

Blue Moon Swamp

earned him the

Best Rock Album Grammy, and during the ’90s

he was also honored as a Rock and Roll Hall of

Famer and with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

Most recently, he was named a BMI Icon and

released the top-five hit

Wrote a Song for Every-

one

(2013), featuring collaborations with a wide

variety of artists on both classics and deep cuts

from his catalogue. John Fogerty is making his

first return to Ravinia following his 2016 debut.
