KFXM January 19 (actually 23), 1970
Ma Belle Amie-Tea Set #1 Highest debut Who'll Stop the Rain-Creedence Clearwater Revival #28 New Why Should I Cry-Gentrys (sounding a lot like the Grass Roots) He Aint Heavy He's My Brother-Hollies
CCR must have liked the South. Many songs about water and rain and New Orleans. All great stuff. Too bad John Fogerty and group got so screwed up by Fantasy records. Fogerty promised never to do the songs stolen from him by the record label; songs HE wrote but somehow owned by Fantasy. I guess he changed his mind when he was low on funds. He came back doing concerts and the old songs that made him famous. He's back "...rollin on the river...."
dittos on Anony's commentary re the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival who have left us such a wonderful musical odyssey... sad, but true -- even to this day -- so many business entities in the recording and publishing industry impose complex deals with new talent musicians/writers and take away ownership to their works just so these artistes can get access to mass audience exposure. deplorable it is, the humilations incurred by such a fine songwriter/composer as John Fogerty!
