Creedence Clearwater Revival

Creedence Clearwater Revial, or CCR, was an American band formed in 1967. They were known for their bluesy sound that made them appear to have originated in the American south, despite the fact they were from San Francisco. 
They were also known for their anti-Vietnam songs such as Fortunate Son, which have become some of the most recognized songs of all time and made them the voice of a generation. 
The band was short lived, and split ways by 1972, but will forever be remembered. Tom Fogerty (Jon's Brother) passed away in 1990, Jon went on to lead a successful solo career, and Doug Clifford and Stu Cook would go on to reincarnate the band as Creedence Clearwater Revisited in 1995.
