Tom Fogerty is John's older brother. He was four years older then the other members and was 18 while the rest were still 14. The band was originally called Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets. They were also known as the Golliwogs before CCR.
They sold millions of records, but never had a #1 hit. They did score five #2 hits on the Hot 100, the most of any act without a #1.
From 1969-1972, CCR was one of the most popular and prolific groups in music. They released three Platinum albums in 1969: Bayou Country, Green River, and Willy And The Poorboys.
