Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty with Alan Light 

John Fogerty is a national treasure.

This guy is the brother everyone wishes they had.

this guy is a rare gem. someone worth listening to.

Man,he is 70 yrs old and still so good looking.

I can't believe he looks like that at 70.

2020 - Celebrating 5 0 years of.... COSMO'S FACTORY🎸- THE GREATEST STUDIO RECORDED ALBUM IN ROCKNROLL HISTORY.

John Fogarty is a hard working genius, some of the best music ever .

Love you John Fogerty 🎤🎸🎶💕👏

What’s amazing is he writes songs like Born on the Bayou and Green River and yet he was from California and didn’t live anywhere near New Orleans or a river or a swamp! And yet some people call some of his songs Swamp music. Some how he was able to channel the feeling and sounds of the South and outdoor natural life! How he was able to do this, I have no idea. It’s like he was an Antenna and some higher power sent the songs thru him! And he was taking notes!

Touched by the hand of God.

A gripping interview of one of the pillars of rock n' roll. So glad it all worked out in the end.

Best interview with John Fogerty ever. Thanks for the interviewer, who gives him all the opportunity to speak as long and complete as he wants!

JOHN FOGERTY IS A MAN OF GENIUS. All his career is of successful. JOHN FOGERTY IS THE BEST ROCK SINGER, GUITARPLAYER AND SONGWRITER EVER. NOBODY IS HIGHER THAN HIM. THE WHOLE WORLD LOVES YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST!

🎵🎵John. You are great song writer , my teen years dancing to his 🎶 music🎵 thank you, john. You put spell on us.

John is an American treasure!

The dream didn't just come true, he MADE it come true, though hard work and determination! And of course undeniable talent didn't hurt!!

I love this history I will sure look for his book! I think the little licks is what makes his music, he was an icon of rock and roll!

Great interview. Great human being. A true proud American. Those are your songs!!!

John and I are about the same age. I played in bands for a long time but eventually made the decision to give up bands. Why? Because of rock musicians. Just no way to get along with them for an extended period time. Decided to go it alone, just me and my guitar. So much better.

the record company couldn't steal his incredible voice, props John, you are the Mark Twain of pop rock.

It's funny to hear him tell the story about his parents harmonizing and him picking up something different going on there. I was 8 years old when the first CCR album came out and my older brothers had bought the album. I was still three years away from starting my life as a guitarist but I listened intently to songs like I Put A Spell On You and dissected all the parts...Tom's rhythm part...Stu's bass....John's feedback guitar solo...same fascination with the mechanics of music.

Amazing interview. An absolute American poet.

he's the reason I play guitar and blues harp....some days I thank him ...some days I curse him :-)

Positively brilliant! Thanks so much John and thank you, too Alan.

Hope he makes a new album.

The Proud Mary story is amazing!. To me it shows that it was just meant to happen. He wrote what is now considered a standard rock song. Every garage band in the world learns how to play Proud Mary! It’s a classic and it’s fun and easy to play! Only a few chords and your rolling down the river! I learned how to play Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising first early on. Gloria is another one! Three chords! He’s a songwriting genius!

An utterly decent man as well as a great artist.

Brilliant humble guy

Best interview of John

Amazing hero!!!!

Being equally as important as the Beatles must feel good he seems so normal really I love his stuff

wow john, you seem so down to earth. thank you , it makes all these years listing to you fill like it was well worth it

I hope John keeps writing those songs like the ones in his past-I like to think there are more for John to write!!!

We'd be flying down country roads in a 67 GTO listening to CCR on an 8 track:-) With a special empty matchbook folded just so stuck in the left side so it would play perfectly.

looking great,john…we baby boomers go down hard…lots of cali memories...

Love this guy!

If you get a chance, do yourself a huge favor and get to one of John's fantastic Concerts, I have been to 14 of his concerts and each one was better then the last one. His energy and his music will just blow your mind!

I'am one of your oldest fans, I always knew you were special, more so then Elvis. I'am very please you wrote this book,because my memory is getting a little faded, even tho it's seem just like yesterday we were trying to find you on the radio.

❤no se le quita lo guapeton a mi idolo bello 1969 2023 John Fogerty❤

me hizo llorar eso de verse a si mismo diciendo "¡son tus canciones John! oh! tremendas revelaciones, el puso a Stu en el bajo, a Tom le enseñó a tocar la guitarra, a Doug lo instaló en la batería. Los hizo.

Just realized not long ago that most the music I loved listening to, and certainly all my favorites that cleanse my soul instinctively, were written and sang by this guy. I’m not born in the US so I’m late to the party😮, but wow, I so love and admire this man now that I can say I know him.

A man with great history, a true rocking roller, a true rocker, a stunningly great songwriter, top rate guitar player, bandleader, storyteller, wordsmith and a real American hero, the very best taste of working men cotton shirts nad jeans just like Rory Gallagher. The man is a saint, he tried to please other band members but nothing would please them, John was the master and leader but this was killing the other guys yet they could not produce the supreme quality that was needed in CCR.

John Fogerty this is John Belcher from West York Illinois, just wishing you a happy birthday on the 28th and many more your 75th birthday and rock on brother and God bless you

"Fortunate Son " speaks to me about being a Vietnam Veteran like no other song. I ain't no senators son! Welcome Home Nam Brothers!

Great Interview!

John talking is even better than his singing. I could listen for hours

Love you John Fogerty ❤ Thank you for video.

Always fascinated by CCR and John’s ability to capture a “feeling” in his music. Did he ever take lessons, etc?

I'm glad somebody else said it (so I'll just repeat it) the album "Cosmo's Factory" is one of Rock's all-time greatest LPS, and Mr. John Fogerty is -and has always been, one of Rock's greatest front men! He WAS (or IS) CCR, as far as I'm concerned (as Jeff Lynne was E.L.O., Bryan Ferry was Roxy Music, Brian Wilson the Beach Boys, Mark Knopfler Dire Straights, Tom Petty the Heartbreakers, etcetera). But John got absolutely SCREWED over by his record company (not uncommon), but also by his BANDMATES, AND his very own BROTHER...It's an unbelievable story, what this guy (who gave us all so much) had to go through; it was not fair...I'm happy John found true love (he deserved that), and (it seems like) SOME peace of mind about all that "history"...I can't say here what I'd like to do to the jerks that screwed him over, for so many years...Here's to YOU, John Fogerty! You da man!

Class act

😂que hermoso mo idolo bello John Fogerty ❤❤

He wrote all the songs and shared the royalties four ways even though the others wrote no songs! Then they paid him back by stabbing him in the back! He was way too kind to them. He is CCR!

amazing

VG thank u - thumbed this up!

Major CCR fan, here. I only saw Fogerty once, summer of '87. He would not play a single CCR song. Deeply disappointing, although I did understand his viewpoint. Still, I walked out of that concert in anger. But I still love CCR and would like the opportunity to see him again.

Man, I would have attended this if I knew he was going to wear a flannel shirt.

The more you listen, the more you understand that CCR was a One Man phenomenon. I mean he doesn't even mention a contribution of a beat or a lyric by anybody.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Really enjoyed watching this video of John and it was interesting to hear him talk about the up and downs of his career. He seems like a very down-to-earth guy and it is a shame that he and his former CCR band mates do not even speak to each other anymore. Hard to understand why the other guys in the band took the side of the record company and not John's. John is a true rock-and-roll legend!

The more I listen to him, the more I notice how similar Chris Cornell's voice was to his... and that's saying something.

Algún alma caritativa que edite ese libro en español 😭

As expected hes wearing a flannel shirt i would love to own my self and i,m 62 now I have been afan of CCR John Fogherty since i was 12 years old. I think he is the best rock'n roll singer and musician of the 60's & 70's His songs are the deeds of his art. I was lucky enough to see them in the 70's in Australia. The concert is on YT. He looks like someone you would never pick a fight with always has looked so tough. One of the great legends of Rockin Roll! he plays his guitar beautifully thats all i can say. And look at his hands they are instruments of rock mastery. After watching the video he comments about train of fools the song we go through life starting out as fools towards God and our world belief but at some time in Life we need to get off that train and get on the train of the wise by believing this Bible verse ( John 14:6 )which is true and makes us wise men on the train to heaven. Amen May you make it to that train John i pray that for you. Romans 10 if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Hope I have a head of hair like John when I'm his age.

CCR was really the John Fogarty Band. The others felt he barged in and took over the band, but he wrote the songs, he was a much better singer and musician than Tom. Those guys really cut off their noses to spite their faces.

was that audience on Valium....??

25:17-25:22 that's what she said

alan light looks like stu cook the bass player from ccr..anybody else notice that similarity.

, when your birthday

Bands don't work as a democracy they need a leader the others should've just accepted this imo

What a painful career now it too much too late

All bands need to have a team. John should be a solo since the beginnings. He is not a person to share. Poor Tom. All videos showing he in front at always.Diminishing the rest of the band! We like the group not just him. Tom may Rest In Peace 🙏🕊

A great loss for the public, the end of this band. All because of greed. Tragic .

Very disappointed in Fogerty. He seems to be a gigantic BS Artist. He tells a different story about Proud Mary on another vid. He says he was practicing guitar and he liked to sometimes listen to classical music. He said he was fooling around with the opening of Beethoven's Fifth - Da Da Da DA. Then he played it in a different rhythm and he had Proud Mary. He said he played Da Da Da Da/ Da Da Da Da/ Da Da Da Da/ Da Da and then strummed. If you play Da DA DA DA. on a guitar (like me) and play it a little faster on guitar - its the beginning of Proud Mary.

I like him and his songs but I think it's a little mean that he is constantly trying to put down his brother Tom. The guy has been dead for some time, he can't answer. And this is his brother. If anything he should just be quiet about these things. In case you haven't yet, go take a listen to the early Golliwogs records, with Tom Fogerty as songwriter and lead vocalist. It's just as good as any Creedence song to me.
