Summary

The long-awaited memoir from John Fogerty, the legendary singer-songwriter and creative force behind Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of the most important and beloved bands in the history of rock, and John Fogerty wrote, sang, and produced their instantly recognizable classics: "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Born on the Bayou", and more. Now he reveals how he brought CCR to number one in the world, eclipsing even the Beatles in 1969. By the next year, though, Creedence was falling apart; their amazing, enduring success exploded and faded in just a few short years.

Fortunate Son takes listeners from Fogerty's Northern California roots through Creedence's success and the retreat from music and public life to his hard-won revival as a solo artist who finally found love.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Interesting story

Great listen and fascinating story. it's criminal how John was taken advantage of, manipulated and used by his record company. others mentioned that it was difficult to listen to John's reading because of his vocal delivery. That's true but I found that speeding it up to 1.3 on the Audible app sorted that out and resolved the issue. Enjoying it immensely.

Interesting story.

Interesting story, great to hear his side of the story. Was a bit difficult to listen to at times,. Love his singing voice, not so much his reading. 😊
