Creedence Clearwater
Revival, also referred to as Creedence
and CCR, was an American rockband which recorded and performed from 1968 to 1972. The band
initially consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty; his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty; bassist Stu Cook; and drummer Doug Clifford. These members had played together since 1959, first
as the Blue Velvetsand later as the Golliwogs.
Their musical style encompassed roots rock, swamp rock, and blues rock. They played in a Southern rockstyle, despite their San Francisco
Bay Areaorigin,
with lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi Riverand other popular elements of
Southern United States iconography. Their songs rarely dealt with romantic
love, concentrating instead on political and socially-conscious lyrics about
topics such as the Vietnam War. The band performed at the 1969 Woodstockfestival in Upstate New York.
The group disbanded acrimoniously in late 1972
after four years of chart-topping success. Tom Fogerty had officially left the
previous year, and John was at odds with the remaining members over matters of business
and artistic control, all of which resulted in subsequent lawsuits among the
former bandmates. Fogerty's ongoing disagreements with Fantasy Recordsowner Saul Zaentzcreated further protracted court battles, and John Fogerty
refused to perform with the two other surviving members at CCR's 1993 induction
into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame.
Creedence Clearwater Revival's music is still a
staple of U.S. classic rock radio airplay. Twenty-eight million CCR records have been sold in
the United States alone.Rolling Stoneranked them 82nd on its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Left a good job in the city
Working for The Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary, keep on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

section of the 43rd Sanremo Music Festival with her debut single
"La solitudine",which became an Italian standardand
an international hit, topping the charts in Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
Herself titled debut album was released in Italy on 23 April 1993and
later became an international success, selling two million copies worldwide.
Its
follow-up, Laura, was released in 1994 and confirmed her international
success, selling three million copies worldwide. During the same year, she
released her first Spanish-language album, Laura Pausini, composed of
ten adapted songs originally included in her previous works. The album was

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
And you'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do
Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
Cause I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else! No one else
And you'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone who understands you like I do
Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
Cause I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else! No one else
You're gonna miss my love
You're gonna miss my love (you're gonna miss my love)
You're gonna miss my love (you're gonna miss my love)
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love (miss my
love)
You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
Cause I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else! And there's no one else! No,
there's just no one else
(You're gonna) You're gonna miss (miss my love)
You're gonna miss my love (I'm gonna miss your love)
You're gonna miss my love (I'm gonna miss your love)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my love).

Nieuwsblad she continued: "I'm thrilled. An entire day of interviews, and no one has asked
a thing about my clothes. For the first time in my career, they aren't talking

Peiken and Albert Hammond, one of them being the song Have Mercy, which
had previously been recorded by Yazz. Among the guest musicians on this album
