In the early 80's, way back, I used to wonder what happened to John Fogerty and then in 1984, he came out with Centerfield. I thought 'Wow, here he is again!' It was great to see him writing songs and being so successful. And it's nice to see he's still around writing and touring.

yes John is controling, for good reason. He knew what was good and what was crap or just not good enough. If he wasnt the way he is we would not have the CCR we all love. I feel so bad no one else in CCR would stand behind him through the years of legal bull with Fantasy. Lets face it CCR was screwd from the word go. Fantasy got so rich off them, CCR started Fantasy, thats the truth. When given the chance I would shake Johns hand with pride saying thank you for not giving up.

Shocking interviewer. Won't let the other person finish a sentence.

@denniswilsonfan i couldn't have put it better nor is it more obvious to the ones w/ common sense thank you, if ever 1 band member represented a band and their sound i could not think of a better example than Mr John Fogerty..

Certainly John was CCR. The other guys were great but they were his backup band.I didnt hear CCR until '76 ..several years after they broke up.John Fogerty wrote the sound track to my youth , made me listen closely and continues to amaze me.

You are an absolute idiot! I mean the man is CCR. There is no doubt about that. The backing vocals of the other members were better than his background vocalists now, but to say that the songs don't sound like CCR without the other members is absolutely ridiculous and just plain not true. You say that the song "Centerfield" doesn't sound like CCR. I agree. Listen to "The Old Man Down The Road" and tell me that doesn't sound exactly like a "magical" CCR song. You are so dumb

@AceOfHeart2012 jaaaaaaaaaaaaa that was a good one....and i have to agree with that comment

[chest002]

@besamemucho5 I have to comment about this one. John Fogerty has proven many times over, he is CCR. No matter what combination of talent he is grouped with, the Creedance sound is clearly unmistakable. If you dont see or hear that you are deaf and dumb, or simply un informed.

[NESherv]

All those years of Larry King leaning over the table like that have made him look like a damn vulture.

[besamemucho5]

ccr was a great band....john fogerty alone or with anybody else will never sound like ccr.....center field maybe is a good song...but nothing like the songs that were done by ccr.....and probably he will never be able to write a song like the early ones...the hunger and the anger are gone so the capability to write "magical" songs is gone also.....

[prosteelheader]

after all these years, i still dont know the REAL reason for all the bad blood between them???

@denniswilsonfan -the ccr sound and band was 4 guys-thats why they were the number 1 band after the beatles in late 60s-would you call the band his got now ccr ?-no-if paul mc and ringo were playing-would you call them the beatles-no -when he started in the early 60s-he should gone solo ,then the music wouldve taken a different path-the point is let them play together for ccr sake-we the fans deserve this--you only get one life -time is short for all of us,even for the selfish and the wounded.
