    Creedence Clearwater Revival

    San Francisco's own "Southern" rockers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, scored a string of
    international hits during their brief existence, becoming classic rock staples despite
    performing only four years. Led by John Fogerty, the four-man group had worked ten years
    as a bar band and recorded several singles on the Scorpio label (under the forgettable name
    the Golliwogs). But it was their self-titled debut with Fantasy Records in 1968 that caught
    the attention of the world. Thirty-five artists would cut covers of their classic "Proud
    Mary," including Ike and Tina Turner. So popular was CCR worldwide that by 1970 the
    group was consistently scoring hits on both the A and B sides of its singles, a feat
    previously accomplished only by Elvis Presley and the Beatles. Their biggest selling album
    would be 1970's Cosmo's Factory, which produced the singles "Travelin' Band," "Up
    Around the Bend" and "Lookin' out My Back Door."
