This post isn't made to damage the reputation of the people involved -- only to point out that behind the footlights, a lot was going on that wasn't talked about.
Yeah, this is the reason Fogerty refused to play CCR songs until about the turn of the century, he didn't want to put money into the hands of those he felt had robbed him, it's a famous & terribly sad story all around that you can google if not familiar with it. The music "business" is a snakepit that terribly exploits young artists.

One of my husband’s favorite bands. He loves the older music.

I saw John Fogerty last year at an outdoor venue in Southaven, Mississippi. He looked and sounded great. One of his son's is a musician in his band.

Just saw John Fogerty in Vegas a few months ago - great show! ...in mid-50's and about the youngest there.

You gotta see these guys (all the classic bands) while they are still around.

And here I thought this was going to be a discussion about "Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions"!

That is so funny. All my life I thought it was that.

Right now I am reliving the "Grass Roots", got a crush on Rob Grill, just to find out he died in 2011.

I had their favorites album at 16, left in a car and it got wavy. Played it anyway.

Love CCR too....

Well, "good golly miss Molly", while "it came out of the sky" I wasn't "born on the bayou", "someday never comes" when there's a "commotion" "down on the corner", " up around the bend".
"Suzie Q", well she decided to "run through the jungle" near the "cotton fields" while there's "a bad moon rising".
"Hey tonight", " have you ever seen the rain" coming down on "the midnight special" "sweet hitch-hiker"???
"I heard it through the grapevine" that "proud mary" "wrote a song for everyone" because "someday never comes" for the "traveling band".
"Looking out my back door", I wonder "who'll stop the rain"??
I am "a fortunate son" who is "feeling blue", put that on my "tombstone".

Oh Lord, im stuck in a "Lodi" again.....I guess that about sums up my take on the subject of CCR.....

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought your meant Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions.


Now get the heck off my lawn!

I discovered classic rock when I was a freshman in high school (1989) and remember getting the Chronicle album on cassette inthe mail from Columbia House. Still listening to classic rock 30 years later.

Listen carefully to the lyrics on Lookin Out My Back Door.... They're talking about what they're seeing after they dropped acid.
