The band members met in high school, first played together as The Blue Velvets in 1959, and signed to the jazz-based Fantasy Records label in 1964, initially as a singles-oriented GarageRock act called The Golliwogs. In early 1967, they changed their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival and released their eponymous debut album. (The legend goes that they had a friend named Credence, and added an extra "e" to that; the "Clearwater" portion came from a beer ad.) Their [[CoverVersion cover]] of "Suzie Q" received lots of airplay and became their first in a string of Top 40 hits. Other notable songs from their career include "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Green River", "Down on the Corner", "Fortunate Son", "Run Through the Jungle", "Travelin' Band", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?".

Rain?". The band holds the record for the most No. 2 singles on the Billboard 100 (five) without ever having a No. 1 single.

* MistakenEthnicity: It's very common for people to assume the band is from Louisiana or an adjacent state in the deep south, given their lyrical subject matter (bayous, steamboats) and swampy sound. Nope--they're from El Cerrito, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Very little of their music has the stylistic and aesthetic trademarks of Californian bands from the 1960s, be they sunny harmonies a la Music/TheBeachBoys, folk-rock like Music/TheByrds and Music/BuffaloSpringfield, or the trippy psychedelia of Music/TheGratefulDead and Music/JeffersonAirplane. Only rarely did they really come close to the latter, as on the extended middle section of "Ramble Tamble."

Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that
Deleted line(s) 63 (click to see context) :
* CoolOldGuy: As of May 28, 2022, John is '''77''', and has been recording kick-ass rock songs for ''53'' years, almost 63 if you count CCR's time as the Golliwogs and Blue Velvets. His voice has also hardly changed at all, meaning he still sounds as good now as he did as a young man.
