Which are the greatest hits of CCR and John Fogerty (solo career)?
For two years, 1969 and 1970, Creedence Clearwater Revival was the most popular rock band in America. During those years the group released five of its seven albums and seven hit singles. All seven singles reached the top ten of the U.S. pop charts. Astonishingly, none reached #1 in the U.S., and yet no less than five of their records, all double sided hits, reached #2. They are, “Proud Mary” b/w “Born On the Bayou”, “Bad Moon Rising” b/w “Lodi”, “Green River” b/w “Commotion”, “Travelin’ Band” b/w “Who’ll Stop the Rain”, and “Looking Out My Back Door” b/w “Long As I Can See the Light”. Of their albums, both “Green River” and “Cosmo’s Factory” reached #1, with the latter being their best seller. John Fogerty’s solo chart career peaked during the week of March 14, 1985. “Centerfield” hit #1 that week in its second week on the charts, and its lead-off single, “The Old Man Down the Road”, reached the highest position of any of his post Creedence singles, at #9.
